Paddington in Peru (2024)
A little bear goes a long way.
Paddington travels to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears. With the Brown Family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey through the Amazon rainforest and up to the mountain peaks of Peru.
In Paddington in Peru, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “bear-in-London adventure”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing belonging, greed, family, adventure.
