Paddington in Peru, with its all-star cast, is now streaming on Netflix
The third adventure for the marmalade-guzzling bear has joined both previous outings on the streamer.
If you're a fan of Paddington Bear – and let's face it, who isn't a fan of Paddington Bear? – there's some good news to brighten up your day: the latest adventure featuring the beloved marmalade-guzzler is now streaming on Netflix.
Paddington in Peru, which was released in UK cinemas in November 2024, has joined both previous outings on the streamer – so you can even watch all three films in one sitting for an especially wholesome triple bill.
The third film saw Ben Whishaw return to voice the title character for his boldest big screen adventure yet, following him and the Brown family as they journeyed back to his home in deepest, darkest Peru when he received word that his dear Aunt Lucy had vanished from the Home for Retired Bears.
That set them off on an epic quest through the Peruvian jungle as they attempted to track her down – with scenery-chewing turns from Olivia Colman as The Reverend Mother and Antonio Banderas as riverboat captain Hunter Cabot just two of the joys to be savoured along the way.
In our four-star review of the film, we called it "non-stop fun with surprises aplenty" and remarked that although it wasn't quite as good as its two predecessors, it comes pretty close, concluding that it was "a feel-good movie that leaves you feeling very good indeed".

At the time of its release, Dougal Wilson – who took over from original director Paul King for the third instalment – revealed to RadioTimes.com that he was "terrified" to be handed the reins for such a universally adored series.
"Those two first films are so beloved and they're so good," he said. "When I was approached to get involved, I was very anxious about trying to continue the quality of those two films, but I was joining a great team who had been involved in the first two films."
Meanwhile, Colman explained that when her role in the film was first offered to her she thought it was too good to be true.
"To be in Paddington, great. Oh, dressed as a nun? Brilliant. A singing nun with a guitar? Ace. And a big finale with Antonio Banderas. It was like someone somewhere... It was going to go wrong because it was just too good. That sort of lovely job offer," she said.
