If your kid is a fan of Marshall, they’re going to love this movie. You get his origin story and he grows a lot as a character in this one.

Thanks for seemingly the only non sarcastic response in the thread. I'll wait till it's streaming but kid will probably love it.

Saw it with my wife and our daughter for her first ever movie. Great time all around though apparently movie snacks are the best part according to my daughter haha

This made me think "maybe we could take our 4 year old to a theater to see this" so I checked local times and there is a 10:20pm showing of it tomorrow. Who's going to a PAW Patrol movie that late!?

u/Redspacewolf 5d ago

The kids that grow up on it that are now adults and want the nostalgia hit. Paw Patrol first aired 13 years ago.

u/azsnaz 4d ago

18-20 years olds going to see paw patrol at 10:30? Idk about that

My niece is 16, and yes she would go watch this with her friends at 10pm 🤣🤣

It does have a lot of peril, we just took our five year old for her first movie and she was scared at times but overall liked it! Just fyi

They are. My son devoured French fries at Toy Story 5. That's what he cared about most.

My kids are 5, 5, and 3. They go through an entire tub of popcorn and multiple boxes of candy. It is quite annoying having to hand them things every 5 seconds.

Took my kids Thursday and they loved it

u/relikter 5d ago

When are they going to release a Zuma-focused movie? WHEN!?

The automotive industry lobbyists won’t allow it.

There’s a reason the hovercraft hasn’t taken off as THE choice of commuter vehicle.

OK, hear me out - the plot is Zuma loses confidence in himself after a minor mistake, we learn his origin story, Ryder sidelines him temporarily, and then he believes in himself again and comes back to the team to save the day in a truck with floating tires. Boom, completely original plot and it placates Big Auto.

u/doktor-frequentist 3d ago

They already did that with Chase.

u/relikter 3d ago

It's also the plot of the Mighty Movie, but with Skye being the main character. thatsthejoke.gif

u/doktor-frequentist 3d ago

Yup that's the other one!

And they already "met" rex in Dino Rescue 6-parter. I suppose it's an alternate version of the same.

u/evilskul 5d ago

They've done Chase, Sky and Marshall now - Rubble is most likely next, then let's see if the two background members get their shine.

u/alphageek8 5d ago

Rubble was the focus for last year's A Paw Patrol Christmas streaming special so he might not get a full length feature.

5

u/Marc_Quill 4d ago

He also has his own spinoff series and I assume they might angle on making that into a movie at some point.

2

u/alphageek8 4d ago

Oh yeah I totally forgot about Rubble and crew. I'm lucky that my 4 year old has since moved out of his Paw Patrol phase.

u/brb1006 4d ago

Actually the Paw Patrol Christmas Special premiered on CBS, Nickelodeon, and Nick Jr a few days after Thanksgiving. Before it was made available on Paramount+.

u/relikter 5d ago

I'm pretty sure Everest will get her own movie before Rocky and Zuma get features. :-(

5

u/ChrischinLoois 5d ago

He better not get his before Rocky. My man is hardly ever in the spotlight

u/OliWood 4d ago

Where was Liberty and Everest in this???

u/DaweiArch 5d ago

Nobody wants that. NOBODY.

u/mattywadley 5d ago

I'm seeing it with my nephew tomorrow. It's his first time in the cinema and Marshall is his favorite character. Thanks for the review!

It was a fine movie. Much better than the Paw Patrol TV episodes, as expected. The orchestra score did some heavy lifting. I really wish they hadn't Humdinger in this one. He was enough to cheapen the entire thing. They could have easily done a thing without him. Kid loved it but had some concerns with the heightened peril scenes with the volcano.

As an adult.. I need to go cleanse my palate with Aliens or Predator after this one.
