With this cast of dynamic voice talent, we’re bringing a whole new level of excitement to the big screen."

PAW Patrol Gets Another Film
Nickelodeon
It’s not a shock to see the franchise get another movie. The first film opened up at No. 1 at the box office, even with a day-and-date release, garnering more than $150 million worldwide. It was also one of the most-watched titles on Paramount+, earning just as much success on streaming. It’s noted by Paramount that the movie has since been watched five times on average per subscriber household, which makes it one of the most popular films on Paramount+.
The official synopsis for PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie reads:
PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie will premiere exclusively in movie theaters on Oct. 13, 2023.
When a magical meteor crash lands in Adventure City, it gives the PAW Patrol pups superpowers, transforming them into The MIGHTY PUPS! For Skye, the smallest member of the team, her new powers are a dream come true. But things take a turn for the worse when the pups’ archrival Humdinger breaks out of jail and teams up with Victoria Vance, a meteor-obsessed mad scientist, to steal the superpowers and turn themselves into supervillains. With the fate of Adventure City hanging in the balance, the Mighty Pups have to stop the supervillains before it’s too late, and Skye will need to learn that even the smallest pup can make the biggest difference.
