We see Paddington and the El Dorado Bears touring London. Then Paddington shows some of them the pleasures of using an electric toothbrush in their ears, nostrils, and mouth. That’s followed by Paddington introducing the bears to Phoenix Buchanan. Phoenix is still in prison but is scheduled for release soon, and he asks if the bears like to perform. He envisions a new production starring himself as Goldilocks along with the bears. Phoenix says they’ll need funding and asks if they found gold in El Dorado. Paddington says “we found these” and holds up an orange. Buchanan says “Oranges? Disappointing”. The bears also take a picture in front of the El Dorado chicken restaurant.

Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll. Puss has burned through eight of his nine lives, though he lost count along the way. Getting those lives back will send Puss in Boots on his grandest quest yet.

PiB embarks on an epic journey into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star and restore his lost lives. But with only one life left, Puss will have to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: the captivating Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek Pinault).

In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided—against their better judgment—by a ratty, chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perrito (Harvey Guillén).
