PAW Patrol: The Movie is a 2021 Canadian[4] computer-animated action-adventure comedy film based on the television series PAW Patrol created by Keith Chapman. The film was produced by Spin Master Entertainment, the toy company behind the series, with animation provided by Mikros Image. It was directed by Cal Brunker, who co-wrote the screenplay with Billy Frolick and Bob Barlen from a story by Frolick. It is the first of several planned films produced under the Spin Master Entertainment banner. In the film, Ryder and the pups are called to Adventure City to stop Mayor Humdinger from turning the bustling metropolis into a state of chaos.

The film was produced almost entirely in Canada; according to Cal Brunker, "95 percent of everything" happened in Canada, with the exception being some audio recording.[8] Several cast members from the original series reprised their roles, including Kingsley Marshall (as the voice of Marshall), Keegan Hedley (Rubble), Shayle Simons (Zuma), Lilly Bartlam (Skye), and Ron Pardo (voicing both Cap'n Turbot and Mayor Humdinger). They are joined by newcomers Iain Armitage, Marsai Martin, Yara Shahidi, Kim Kardashian, Randall Park, Dax Shepard, Tyler Perry, Jimmy Kimmel, and Will Brisbin in his first acting role.

The film had its red carpet premiere at the Vue Leicester Square in London on August 8, 2021.[9] It was theatrically released in the United Kingdom and Ireland on August 9, 2021,[10] and in both Canada and the United States on August 20, 2021.[11] It was also made available on Paramount+ on the same day. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $82.7 million worldwide on a $26 million budget.

Plot

In Adventure Bay, a truck driver crashes and hangs over the town's suspension bridge. Cap'n Turbot comes across the scene and calls Ryder, who sends the PAW Patrol pups into action. Chase, the police pup, saves the truck driver.

Meanwhile, in nearby Adventure City, the PAW Patrol's archenemy Mayor Humdinger has recently been elected mayor. Knowing of Humdinger's infamous wrongdoings in Foggy Bottom, a dachshund named Liberty calls the team. Chase says he is not going due to him having a "history" in the city when he was a little puppy, but Ryder convinces him to go back. The team arrives and gets settled into their new headquarters. Meanwhile, Humdinger uses a device called a Cloud Catcher to clear up the weather so he can do his firework show. The show goes haywire and the team is alerted. They rush straight into a traffic jam, but Liberty arrives and guides them to the City Hall. They manage to take care of the situation but Chase fails to save some people. An infuriated Humdinger tells his henchmen Butch and Ruben to get rid of the PAW Patrol by any means necessary.

A few days later, Humdinger builds an extension to the subway line with several inversions similar to a roller coaster. It breaks and traps the passengers upside-down. The pups rescue them but Chase freezes and is forced to be rescued by Skye. Ryder suggests Chase should take a break from his duties, but this greatly upsets him and causes him to run away, and is soon captured by Humdinger's henchmen. The team discovers that several dogs have gone missing and Ryder links them to Humdinger. Liberty gets captured on purpose and is taken to an obedience school-turned-dog jail where she meets snooty valley girl poodle Delores and rescues Chase and the other dogs who chase Ruben and Butch.

Ryder takes Chase to where he found him and tells him why he chose him was because he was the bravest dog that he met. Meanwhile, the Cloud Catcher has gone critical and the creator Kendra Wilson confronts Humdinger. He destroys the remote and reveals his building called Humdinger Heights. The machine unleashes a week's load of bad weather. Kendra calls the team and Liberty is given her own vehicle and uniform, joining the team. Ryder saves Humdinger, but he is trapped in the building when it falls down. Chase drives up to save him while Skye goes to stop the Cloud Catcher. Chase takes a leap of faith and saves Ryder, while Skye destroys the Cloud Catcher in a kamikaze style attack. She ejects from her plane before it crashes and flies back down to the city. The team sees Mayor Humdinger and Chase puts him under arrest for the trouble he has caused to the city (Gross Negligence, Public Endangerment, and Dognapping). He tries to run away as fast as possible, but Skye uses her mini drone to stop him.

The team is given the key to Adventure City in a major ceremony. Liberty becomes an official member, finally fulfilling her aspirations of doing so. Ryder begins to make a speech, but he is interrupted by a call from Harris, one of the dogs from the dog jail, saying there is trouble at the waterfront, leading the team to drive to the rescue while the theme song plays.

In the credits, Mayor Humdinger and the Catastrophe Crew are shown to have been apprehended and detained for their crimes throughout the film.

Production

In November 2017, Ronnen Harary confirmed that Spin Master was "currently considering whether to extend the PAW Patrol franchise into feature films at some point in the next 12 to 24 months." Animation tests were conducted in 2017 to measure how the characters "would translate onto the big screen" and the company developed a film script.[12] On November 8, 2019, it was announced that Mikros Image in Montreal would handle the animation.[13] There are 250 film crews with a team of about 60 devoted to the animation. Their biggest challenge was creating high-quality theatrical animation that didn't lose the sense of the series. They were also especially interested in creating action scenes that had more of a realistic quality.[14]

Development of the film was confirmed on February 21, 2020, with Cal Brunker attached as director.[15] Production was done via telecommuting during the COVID-19 pandemic in both the United States and Canada.[16]

Producer Jennifer Dodge said, "it was important to be able to tell a deeper character story than what they've been able to do with the series." She also explained, "And to tell it in a way that a child really can understand and relate to, and maybe even their parents get a deeper meaning from it. You can have a hard day at school or daycare and you can rise above those difficulties and you can come through on the other side. It doesn't mean you're never scared, it doesn't mean you don't doubt yourself. But, if at the end of the day, you really believe in yourself and you have people around you who believe in you, you can overcome it."[14]

On October 15, 2020, Iain Armitage, Marsai Martin, Yara Shahidi, Kim Kardashian, Randall Park, Dax Shepard, Tyler Perry, Jimmy Kimmel and newcomer Will Brisbin were announced as part of the cast.[17] On March 13, 2021, an exclusive first look of the film was shown during the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2021.[18] On May 3, 2021, the cast and characters were announded.[19] Adam Levine, Perry and Kardashian joined the cast because their respective little children were fans of the show.[20] For the role of Ryder, more than 1,000 people has been auditioned before the 16-year-old actor Will Brisbin from Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, got the role.

On July 14, it was announced that Ronan Keating, Richard Arnold, Sam Faiers and Tom Fletcher were added to the cast as part of the voice cameos for the dub in the UK and Ireland.[21][22]

Screenwriter Bob Barlen described the main character to be focused on the film:

"Chase is kind of like the quarterback. Chase sort of seems like the main character, and so being able to expand and kind of have a character who fails and who has to overcome an obstacle is important. We were able to do more than the TV show time allows. Starting in Adventure Bay, you see him as that same perfect pup from the show where he’s executing things flawlessly. That’s really where we were able to expand on his backstory and create something that would be worthy of the feature film. So, you’re seeing him for the first time really ever make mistakes and mess up and come to terms with not being perfect, and then pushing through and overcoming that fear. That was really something that we were excited about in terms of telling a story."[14]

The film also represented the fulfillment of a lifetime dream for the collaborators of Bob Barlen and Cal Brunker, who had been making films together for decades. Brunker had known Barlen since they attended high school, and would make films at the same time as him later into their respective careers: "Back before we ever got a chance to make a movie, Bob and I went to Hollywood for the first time and we actually paid to go on the Paramount lot tour. You know, you get to see behind the gates. We said to each other, wouldn't it be amazing if one day we were making a movie for Paramount? Well, we’re six or seven weeks away from our first movie for Paramount coming out. And to be entrusted with such a beloved brand for so many people and to be able to share that with the world, this is a dream come true for us. It's been something we’ve been working towards for a long time and, and it's a real gift."[14]

Dodge and Brunker both thought the style of the animation needed to remain true to the series but with some significant adjustments to give it a more theatrical feeling. According to Brunker, they wanted to redesign some things noticed in the movie: "The back legs of the dogs actually look and function like real dog legs and in the TV show they're kind of more cartoony; just kind of stick legs. We felt it would allow them to move more like real dogs, and if we could push the realism of the movement, then it would make the fact that they're doing these great big rescues and all this heroic stuff even more exciting."[14]

At a reported budget of $26 million,[5] the CGI animation is more polished and textured than the series, with Brunker and his team reshaping and rebuilding every character, vehicle and environment from scratch. Aside from some voice recording in Los Angeles (including recordings from most of the cast remotely) and orchestral scoring in Nashville, “95 percent of everything” happened in Canada, according to Brunker.[8]

Music

Heitor Pereira composed the score for the film. He previously collaborated with director Brunker on The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature.[2] On June 2, 2021, it was confirmed that Maroon 5 lead signer Adam Levine will provide an original song, titled "Good Mood". It was written by Shellback, Savan Kotecha, Oscar Görres and Adam Levine; Shellback and Oscar Görres are the producers, while Savan Kotecha serves as the executive producer.[11] The track was released on August 6.[23]

Another song, titled "The Use in Trying", was announced on August 2, 2021, and released on August 10,[24] co-written by Alessia Cara (who performs the track) and Jon Levine, who additionally serves as producer. Levine stated that "her one-of-a-kind voice weaves a beautiful song that captures the sadness and uncertainty during a pinnacle moment in the film".[25] Many artists were featured on the soundtrack, including Avril Lavigne, Weezer, Good Charlotte, Beck, We the Kings, and The Smashing Pumpkins.

Release

Theatrical and streaming

During Spin Master's first quarter 2019 earnings conference call, an animated theatrical film based on the series was announced to be "in the works" with an August 2021 theatrical release date.[26] On April 24, 2020, the film's theatrical release was announced to be August 20, 2021.[27] The film was also available to stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. on the same day it released in theaters.[28][29] Because Canadian distribution is handled by Elevation Pictures, the Canadian version of Paramount+ did not initially offer the movie, and it is unknown if it will.[30]

In July 2021, Paramount Pictures UK and Ireland announced that the film would be released in British and Irish theaters on August 9, 2021.[31][32] This version also retained the voice actors of the British dub.[citation needed]

The film had its red carpet premiere at the Vue Leicester Square in London on August 8, 2021.[9]

A series of books based on the film was published on July 13, 2021.[36] A line of action figures and toys collection by Spin Master was released on August 1, 2021 after July 15th presale.[37] In June 2021, PetPlate announced its partnership for the launch of the film.[38]

In July, Marston's made a deal with Paramount Pictures to launch the exclusive meal deal and collectible mask offer across 270 pubs ahead of the film release in UK. The kids' meal deal offer was run throughout August and it also includes the merchandise, such as six collectible character masks and activity sheets.[39] Additional marketing partners for the film included Build-A-Bear, Hasbro, Kellogg's, Campbell's, Kraft Heinz, and Random House Children's Books, while ViacomCBS has partnered with retailers such as Walmart, Target, Amazon, Kroger, and LIDL.[40]

Home media

PAW Patrol: The Movie will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on November 2, 2021 by Paramount Home Entertainment.[41]

Reception

Box office

As of September 9, 2021, PAW Patrol: The Movie has grossed $32.4 million in the United States and Canada, and $50.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $82.7 million.[6][7]

In the United States and Canada, PAW Patrol: The Movie was released alongside Reminiscence, The Night House, and The Protégé, and was initially projected to gross around $7–9 million from 3,184 theaters in its opening weekend.[42] After making $4.5 million on its first day, estimates were increased to $12–14 million. It went on to debut to $13 million, finishing second behind holdover Free Guy; 88% of the audience was made up of families, 63% being under the age of 25. The opening was noteworthy because Regal Cinemas, the second-largest chain in the U.S., refused to carry the film due to its day-and-date release.[43] The film fell 50% in its second weekend to $6.6 million, finishing in third.[44]

Worldwide, PAW Patrol: The Movie debuted in six markets, making $5.8 million in its first weekend, including a $2.3 million opening in France and a $3.2 million opening in the United Kingdom.[45] In its second weekend, the film made $12.8 million in 39 markets; the top countries were Germany ($2.6 million), the Netherlands ($1.1 million), Mexico ($864,000), France, and the United Kingdom. It also had a South Korean opening in a mere 240 theaters, a decision by the Korea Theater Association to release local titles instead.[46] In its third, the film was screened in 46 markets and grossed $10.3 million, which included #1 openings in Spain, Argentina, and Chile.[47]

Critical response

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 77% based on 44 reviews, with an average rating of 6.10/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "No job's too big and no pup's too small for PAW Patrol: The Movie, which should give its youthful target demographic exactly what they're looking for."[48] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 50 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[49] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported 81% of audience members gave it a positive score, with 66% saying they would definitely recommend it.[43]

Randy Myers of The Mercury News gave the film three stars out of four and said, "This old-fashioned, G-rated animated children's film (young children, that is, not teens or tweens) does everything it intends to do. And does it well."[50] Kristen Page-Kirby of The Washington Post gave the film two and a half stars out of four and said, "A better movie than it needs to be, with some neat visuals, an outstanding score and a story that, while simple, is well told."[51] Glenn Kenny of The New York Times called the film, "Entirely toddler-friendly and irony-free."[52]

Nate Adams of The Only Critic gave the film a B, and wrote in his review, "I think three to six year olds are going to wince with glee at the sight of their favorite puppers saving the day, but the parents who are forced to go along for the ride will appreciate the film's cheery sense of humor and educational elements."[53] Lisa Giles-Keddie of HeyUGuys gave the film four stars out of five and said, "A relentlessly entertainment big screen outing for the familiar pups. A perfect slice of summer cinema for all the family."[54] James Mottram of South China Morning Post gave the film three stars out of five, saying "Paw Patrol: The Movie is a solidly entertaining film for kids, with plenty of crash-bang action."[55]

Nell Minow of RogerEbert.com gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "Parents will appreciate the way the pups tackle problem solving, working together to make the best use of each character's talents."[56] Courtney Howard of Variety found that, "Any crass consumerism is eclipsed by disarming, demonstrable themes and meaningful sentiments woven throughout the film's textured fabric."[1] Yolanda Machado of TheWrap gave the film a positive review, stating "Brunker and his co-writers find a way to deliver a multi-layered story that can grab toddlers while keeping older viewers entertained and not groaning at some propagandized messaging."[57]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called the film, "Harmless fun for its target audience."[58] Sarah Bea Milner of Screen Rant gave the film a negative review, saying, "Paw Patrol has enough action to keep young fans entertained, but parents will likely be bored by the dragging pace and convoluted plot."[59] Jude Dry of IndieWire gave the film a D, and wrote in her review, "While it's doubtful the humorless dirge of a movie will make enough of an impression to mold young minds in any lasting way, the critique of PAW Patrol is useful as an amalgamation of certain favorite Hollywood themes that ought to be retired."[60]

Video game

A video game based on the film was announced on June 10, 2021, titled PAW Patrol The Movie: Adventure City Calls. Developed by Drakhar Studio and also published by Outright Games, it was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows on August 13, 2021.[61]
