Paw Patrol: The Movie is a 2021 Canadian animated adventure comedy film based on the television series Paw Patrol created by Keith Chapman. It was directed by Cal Brunker, who co-wrote the screenplay with Billy Frolick and Bob Barlen, and features the voices of Iain Armitage, Marsai Martin, Yara Shahidi, Kim Kardashian, Randall Park, Dax Shepard, Tyler Perry, Jimmy Kimmel, and Will Brisbin. Several cast members from the television series also reprised their roles, such as Ron Pardo, Keegan Hedley, Lilly Bartlam, Kingsley Marshall, Shayle Simons, and Kim Roberts, with others joining the cast. In the film, Ryder and the Paw Patrol pups are called to Adventure City in order to stop the recently elected Mayor Humdinger from wreaking havoc.
Ronnen Harary announced that Spin Master Entertainment was "considering whether to extend the Paw Patrol franchise into feature films at some point in the next 12 to 24 months" in November 2017. Development began in February 2020, with Brunker attached to direct, and Barlen and Frolick attached to write the screenplay. Voice casting took place from October 2020 to May 2021. Production was done remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was produced almost entirely in Canada; according to Brunker, "95 percent of everything" happened in Canada, with the exception being some audio recording.
Paw Patrol: The Movie premiered at the Vue West End in London on August 8, 2021, and was theatrically released in Canada on August 20, by Elevation Pictures and in the United States by Paramount Pictures. It was also made available on Paramount+ on the same day in the United States. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $151 million against a budget of $26 million. A sequel, Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie was released in 2023, and a third film, Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, was released on August 14, 2026.
