This Movie Surprised The Heck Outta Me!
At first, I thought this film would be a mediocre bargain film, but after watching the epic climax... My god! Paw Patrol's movie went hard!
By that, I mean it pushed the series it is based on to it's fullest potential of action! The show was limited by kids show tropes, but this movie gave the pups the time to put it all on the line!
The animation is very good and helpful to the action tone, the story is decent except for the mayor's propaganda, and the characters are now action stars!
It's a rarity to find kids show films as good as Paw Patrol The Movie nowadays. Hopefully, this movie sets the foundation for a generation of kids films with the same quality as this one. - shinobiivan - 6 January 2022
Perfect high-budget continuation of the series, not for boring adults
For all the people posting 1/10 and 2/10 reviews: this movie, like the series it continues, is for kids under the age of twelve. If you find it boring or too by-the-numbers, IT IS NOT FOR YOU. Kids have to learn those nunbers somewhere.
If you give it 3/10 for showing cats in a negative light, WHY ARE YOU WATCHING A DOG-FOCUSED SHOW?
Anyhow. The Paw Patrol comes to the big city - Adventure City, in fact, because Mayor Humdinger cheated his way into the mayoral seat and keeps making life in the city worse. As the pups struggle to keep the citizens alive and deal with Chase's PTSD (in a surprisingly maturely handled manner for a kid's film) related to the way he left the City to join the Paw Patrol ages ago, they will not only gain the adoration of a whole new populace but also a new team member!
The visuals took a MAJOR step forward from the series (as its prior direct-to-DVD movies barely differed from the TV series in fidelity) with brand new models for everyone, wonderful fur detail, and tasty tasty light effects after the absurdly flat shading of the original. A feast for the eyes (except for a slight misstep with the two mayors - Humdinger looks good but too different from his original appearance, while Goodway looks recognizable but somehow creepily off). All the engineering marvels of the new pup vehicles is impressive and well thought out.
Bottom line: my five year old loved. My wife and I rather enjoyed it. If you're not a kid or a dog lover, find something else to watch, maybe?
