LONDON - Paddington is back and he has lost none of his "charm" and "high jinks", according to English actor Hugh Bonneville, who again guides the trouble-prone bear through the third film in the hit series that saw its premiere on Nov 3.

 Bonneville, Oscar-winning English actress Olivia Colman and Spanish star Antonio Banderas appear in Paddington In Peru, directed by Dougal Wilson. It comes out seven years after the second movie in the live action-animation series.
Downton Abbey (2010 to 2015) star Bonneville is again Mr Brown, the father in the British family who adopted Paddington as he returns to his South American roots in the latest adventure.
The film opens in Singapore cinemas on Jan 16, 2025.
Paddington goes on holiday to Peru to visit his Aunt Lucy, with the Browns in tow, but they end up on an adventure hunting for the mythical golden city of El Dorado.
Bonneville acknowledged there has been a long gap from the last film, which he said was partly because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
