Rating Summary
Paw Patrol: Mighty Movie is a vapid brain-suck of colors and sounds dressed up in fun vehicles and costumes. In the first PP movie, Chase had to deal with crippling PTSD. In Mighty Movie, Sky has to deal with being small.

Paw Patrol was created by Keith Chapman, a British children’s television producer, and the series was developed by Keith Chapman’s company, Guru Studio. The idea for the show stemmed from Chapman’s childhood memories of playing with toy dogs. “Paw Patrol” premiered on Nickelodeon in August 2013 and quickly gained popularity among preschool-aged children for its catchy theme song, colorful animation, and positive messages about teamwork and problem-solving.

Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie

In a remarkable twist of fate, the beloved PAW Patrol pups find themselves imbued with extraordinary abilities following a cosmic collision with a meteor over Adventure City. Yet, the joyous discovery swiftly turns into a perilous ordeal when the nefarious Humdinger, alongside a diabolical scientist, absconds with the pups’ newfound powers and transforms into menacing supervillains. With the fate of the city hanging in the balance, the heroic team leaps into action.

 

INNAPROPRIATE ELEMENTS

Rated PG
  • Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie is appropriately rated PG. Half of it consists of various battles. However, the violence is never graphic.

WOKE REPORT

DEI
  • The primary villain is a “diverse” and dumpy blue-haired woman who looks like an elementary school teacher from a Libs of TikTok video.
  • She not only usurps Humdinger as the primary villain but is (surprise, surprise) far more competent than him.
Lady’s Night
  • This Paw Patrol movie is all about the ladies. The A, B, and C plots are entirely focused on the evil villainess, Sky, and Liberty, respectively. The rest of the cast is just there.
  • Humdinger is just plain bad, whereas the villainess is a misunderstood victim who has been emotionally abused by a society that couldn’t handle her brilliance.
  • Both she and Sky utter the line “like you have to work twice as hard just to be noticed,” and while they never say that this is in direct reference to sexism, it’s totally in reference to sexism and probably racism.
Light In The Purple Loafers
  • It’s never said, but Humdinger is a single middle-aged effeminate man who lives with a bunch of cats, is always well-groomed, and wears nothing but purple. You do the math.
