Paddington in Peru charmed us all back in November after a long wait, and it has now landed on Netflix in the UK and Ireland.
The hugely successful threequel – which broke a number of records at the UK box office – has been added to the streaming service today after making more than $160 million worldwide.
Directed by Dougal Wilson, who took over from Paul King, Paddington in Peru follows the titular bear as he returns home to Peru to visit his Aunt Lucy, who lives at the Home for Retired Bears.
However, when he gets there, Paddington is told by the Mother Superior (Olivia Colman) that Aunt Lucy has gone missing.
Teaming up with dashing boat captain Hunter Cabot (Antonio Banderas) and his daughter Gina (Carla Tous), Paddington and the Brown family head into the Peruvian jungle to find out what happened to Aunt Lucy.

Described by Digital Spy as "a very good movie that Paddington fans of any age can savour like a marmalade sandwich", the film currently has a near-perfect score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Meanwhile, Paddington 4 recently received an exciting update when Studiocanal CEO and Canal+ Deputy CEO Anna Marsh confirmed that another movie was on the way.
"There will be a fourth film," Marsh explained. "We're thinking about the next movies and we're working on a new TV series as well as the stage show musical with Sonia Friedman and Eliza Lumley."

The film had previously received a disappointing update from producer Rosie Alison, who said that a fourth movie in the franchise was yet to be decided.
"We have to wait and see how this one performs in the rest of the world and the States, as we hope it will," Alison said. "We will see how things look by Easter. But hopefully. There's a very clear hint of what might happen next at the end of this film."
Paddington in Peru is now available to watch now on Netflix in the UK and Ireland.
