Template:Use Canadian English


PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie is an upcoming Canadian computer-animated superhero comedy film based on the television series PAW Patrol created by Keith Chapman. Produced by Spin Master Entertainment, the toy company behind the series, and released by Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies, it is the sequel to PAW Patrol: The Movie (2021) and the second film under the Spin Master Entertainment banner. Directed by Cal Brunker, who co-wrote the screenplay with Bob Barlen from a story by Brunker, Barlen, and Shane Morris, it features elements from the Mighty Pups sub-theme of the series. The ensemble voice cast includes Mckenna Grace, Taraji P. Henson, Marsai Martin, Iain Armitage, Kim Kardashian, North West, Saint West, James Marsden, Kristen Bell, and Will Brisbin. In the film, the PAW Patrol pups, who are given superpowers when a magical meteor crash-lands in Adventure City, must stop the supervillains when Mayor Humdinger escapes from prison and teams up with Victoria Vance to steal the pups' crystals before they can.

Development on a sequel to PAW Patrol: The Movie began in August 2021 when Brunker stated that he was interested in making a sequel after its predecessor's success. It was officially greenlit by Spin Master in November 2021, with a planned October 13, 2023 release date before being pushed back for a September 2023 release, with Brunker returning to direct. Mikros Image in Montreal returned to provide animation, while the musical score was composed by Pinar Toprak, replacing Heitor Pereira from the first film. Much of the main voice cast was announced in January 2023, following Henson's casting in May 2022.

PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie is scheduled to be theatrically released in Canada and the United States on September 29, 2023.

In order to steal the pups' powers, Mayor Humdinger escapes from prison and teams up with a meteor expert named Victoria Vance to steal the pups' crystals.

Production[]

Development[]

In an August 2021 interview, director Cal Brunker stated that he was interested in making a sequel after the success of PAW Patrol: The Movie. He said, "We've certainly thought about it. There are other stories that we would be excited about telling. But for us, it's really about seeing if people love this one, and then taking it from there."[7] On November 3, 2021, Spin Master announced that a sequel, titled PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, had begun development, with Brunker confirmed to be returning in the sequel as director and Jennifer Dodge set to return as producer with the addition of Laura Clunie and Toni Stevens.[8]

The sequel will feature elements from the Mighty Pups sub-theme of the series, where a magical meteor crash lands in Adventure Bay and the pups transform into Mighty Pups with superpowers. It is also set to focus on the story of Skye who is the smallest member of the team, exploring her new "powers" in Adventure City and featuring supervillains where they steal the superpowers from the Mighty Pups, determined to make the biggest difference.[8]

Jennifer Dodge, who is producing the film sequel, says that she wanted to tell a deeper story that could resonate even stronger with kids and families worldwide. She added, "Judging by the exit polls, audience scores, and positive critical reception, everyone had as much fun watching it, and rewatching it, as we did making it. We’re looking forward to taking kids on a new adventure in the second film with our partners and can't wait to further expand our storytelling with one of the fan-favorite pups in our spin-off."[8]

The voice cast of PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie (L-R): Mckenna Grace, Taraji P. Henson, Marsai Martin, Kim Kardashian, Chris Rock, James Marsden, Kristen Bell, Lil Rel Howery, and Serena Williams.

In May 2022, it was announced that Taraji P. Henson would join the cast in a new role. After joining the sequel, she made the following statement: "I am so excited to be a part of the next PAW Patrol theatrical adventure. While I don't want to give too much away, my character in the film throws the pups some new challenges that they must unite to overcome. I think the film has a powerful message for kids that no matter how small they might be, they can still make a difference in their community."[2] On January 25, 2023, Kristen Bell, Iain Armitage (reprising his role as Chase) , Mckenna Grace, Lil Rel Howery, James Marsden, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian (reprising her role as Delores), Marsai Martin (reprising her role as Liberty), Ron Pardo (reprising his role as Mayor Humdinger), Callum Shoniker (reprising his role as Rocky), Alan Kim, Brice Gonzalez, North West, Saint West, Luxton Handspiker (reprising his role as Rubble from Rubble & Crew replacing Keegan Hedley from the first movie), Christian Corrao (reprising his role as Marshall from the show replacing Kingsley Marshall from the first movie), and Nylan Parthipan were added to the cast. Grace and Martin had previously worked together in Spirit Untamed.[9] During Paramount's presentation at CinemaCon, Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation, previewed a trailer for PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie and revealed that Chris Rock will have a cameo in the film.[10]

Animation[]

On June 7, 2022, it was announced that Mikros Image in Montreal, who animated the first film, would return to handle the animation.[11]

Music[]

On January 25, 2023, Pinar Toprak was announced to compose the film's musical score, replacing Heitor Pereira from the first film.[12]

Release[]

PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States and Canada on September 29, 2023. Unlike the first film, which was simultaneously released on Paramount+ in addition to a traditional theatrical release due to the COVID-19 pandemic and received a G rating from the MPAA, the film will be released exclusively in theaters with a PG rating for "mild action/peril".[13] Upon the project's announcement, it was given a release date of October 13, 2023, in November 2021,[14] but in February 2023, it was pushed forward by two weeks to its current date.[15] Later in July 2023, Lionsgate's horror film Saw X also moved its release date to September 29, 2023, leading to a competition between the two films.[16]
