Paw Patrol

WHEN the Paw Patrol’s biggest rival, Humdinger, becomes Mayor of nearby Adventure City and starts wreaking havoc, Ryder and the puppies fight to save the citizens of the city. Directed by Cal Brunker, this animated film features the voices of Iain Armitage, Marsai Martin, Ron Pardo, Yara Shahidi, Kim Kardashian, and Randall Park. Variety’s Courtney Howard writes, “The filmmakers take great craft and care building out this universe — one where dogs speak to humans and a 10-year-old drives an RV — in order to tell an expansive tale with empathy, complexity and engaging character dynamics, all while retaining the spirit of the series and keeping lessons digestible for young audiences.” Review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer gives the film a 80% and the audience score is 97%.
