The villainous Mayor Humdinger in the PAW Patrol television show and movies is not a character with whom one should sympathize. But I have to admit that I identified with him more than a little while watching the animated characters’ third big-screen effort. When his canine enemies are mentioned in PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, he asks, “PAW Patrol? Are they still a thing?” And later he admits, “There are so many of them I can barely remember their names.” So true, so true.
These are not movies for adults by any stretch, but younger, and I mean younger, audiences have clearly embraced the adorable puppy search-and-rescue team, so their adult chaperones might as well give in and bring them to a matinee showing. And it must be said that while the material is thoroughly juvenile, the films impart valuable messages to their impressionable viewers.
PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie
The Bottom Line
Dogs and dinosaurs, oh my.
