PAW Patrol: The Movie

Ryder and his team of rescue pups head to Adventure City after Mayor Humdinger's schemes turn the bustling metropolis into a patchwork of accidents and chaos. Far from their usual neighborhood, the PAW Patrol confronts bigger problems, higher buildings, and a skeptical urban population. Each pup takes on a clear role with specialized gear while the group adapts to unfamiliar challenges, balancing action with humor and heart. The film keeps the emphasis on teamwork, problem solving, and community service, all while building tension around the escalating situation without revealing how the conflict is ultimately settled. Kids get action, humor, and clear moral beats that emphasize teamwork, responsibility, and helping neighbors.

Directed by Cal Brunker, the film was written by Billy Frolick and Bob Barlen and adapts the hit animated PAW Patrol television series for theaters, expanding its scope with larger set pieces and a higher-profile voice cast and guest cameos.

The movie reached broad family audiences worldwide, helping transition PAW Patrol from television to the big screen and supporting a wave of promotional tie-ins, tie-ins, screenings, and merchandising that boosted the franchise's visibility in theaters and retail, and family streaming windows.

By bringing familiar characters to cinemas, the film broadened the franchise's cultural footprint, introducing new fans to the pups and inspiring character-driven toys, costumes, and family outings. Casting recognizable voices, including Tyler Perry, also helped attract parents alongside kids, across toys and events.

Audience response skewed positive, reflected by a 7.3/10 vote average from 1,251 users, who praised the lively voice work and kid-friendly action. Reviewers noted clear themes of teamwork, civic responsibility, and problem solving, though some critics called the plotting predictable. Parents found it entertaining for very young viewers and short.
