While a fine sequel with a pure heart and a wonderful final scene, 2017’s “Paddington 2” has become a religion for some people, evolving into a true test of cineaste authority, newly treated as one of the best family films of all time. It’s an excellent movie, and it gives the producers a tremendous challenge in following it up, and perhaps this is why it’s taken “Paddington in Peru” so long to reach screens. The second sequel is the first not guided by co-writer/director Paul King (who turned his attention to the “Paddington”-esque “Wonka,” establishing a new franchise), who hands helming responsibilities over to Dougal Wilson. And there’s a change in location, pulling the eponymous bear and his family out of London and into South America for a jungle adventure. Marmalade and slapstick remains, and “Paddington in Peru” successfully sustains the merriment for another chapter, keeping things light and funny while the screenplay attempts to locate a way to match the unbeatable emotional content of the last installment.
