The sequel opens “many bear years ago” in the jungles of Peru, where we see Paddington’s adoptive Aunt Lucy (voiced by Imelda Staunton) and Uncle Pastuzo (voiced by Michael Gambon), sitting on a rope bridge over a river of rapids, as they enjoy marmalade sandwiches.
We should be grateful, considering it’s rare to find a sequel for the all-ages crowd that’s this enjoyable, good-natured and charming. Sure, it’s not even two weeks into the new year – and technically, “Paddington 2” opened last November in the UK – but just like the last film directed by Paul King, based on the beloved children’s tales from Michael Bond, this delightful sequel has found its way to the States in January, which is typically a dumping ground for dreck that studios unload on us.
The adorable orange marmalade sandwich loving bear is back on the big screen and just like he did three years ago, Paddington stars in the best movie of the new year. Rated: PG (for some action and mild rude humor)
