PAW Patrol: The Movie

This film accomplished exactly what it set out to do; it was a fun, summer film that my kids fell in love with. As someone who has seen nearly every episode of Paw Patrol due to my four young children, there were some great callbacks to the series. The animation was fantastic, the music was surprisingly good and there were enough jokes to keep parents invested.

At its core, the film had a great story of overcoming fear and adversity, while also sticking together as a team. The antagonist was oversimplified and lacked depth, but that's what you expect in a children's movie.

Paw Patrol: The Movie not as brilliant as a Pixar film, but it's not unwatchable like some other animated features. The film had a specific target audience, and it nailed its core objective.

Did we have to get a Paramount+ account so my kids could watch it again after seeing it in the theater? Yep.

Have they watched it a dozen times since then? Absolutely.

Do they want to buy all the new "Paw Patrol: The Movie" characters and toys? You better believe it!
