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.
