The film begins with a flashback of a small lost bear who goes missing after chasing an orange and falling into a river. But the story begins with Paddington receiving his British passport. To celebrate, he writes a letter to his aunt Lucy about how the city and the Browns have changed since the last time they met.
He talks about how the kids have grown up while the parents are hoping to spend more time with each other. Despite the changes and the world growing apart, Paddington still enjoys his life in London. He soon finds out that his aunt has been in bad health from the mother reverend at the home for retired bears.
Worried for her, Paddington decides to go to Peri to check on her, and the family agrees to join him. With the new passport and Mr. Brown's new boss urging him to take risks, the family takes the risk to spend more time together before the kids start their separate lives at college.
The trip isn’t as easy as they expected it to be, as after landing in Peru, they find out Aunt Lucy has gone missing. At the advice of the mother reverend, the brown family, along with Paddington, head out in the Amazon jungle to look for her. The only clue is a map that says — start search here — at an ancient stone temple.
But the temple is also a place which leads to the ancient Inca gold treasure. With the help of a boat captain, the Brown family begins the search for Aunt Lucy. But the captain has his own interests in finding the hidden city of gold; he takes the expedition under control and leads Paddington to find the treasure.

The children's film is innocent and holds on to the same charm as its previous films. There have been some additions and changes in the cast but watching Olivia Colman as a nun out for revenge, or a version of the same is hilarious enough.
Her performances adds the most unusual charm and thrill to the film's plot. Another big name in the film, with a new role is Antonio Banderas who does take up another unique role in the film as a boat captain cursed with greed for gold and saw his ancestors' ghosts. Hugh Bonneville brings his usual charm to the film with Emily Mortimer as Mrs Brown.
Meanwhile, the film does finally answer the big question of where Paddington came from and where he belong. SEE ALSO: The Last Of Us Exclusive!

It is unclear if it will be last of the lot, but the film bring forth another adorable story with a bear and a human family.
