Patrulha Canina: O Filme

To A lot of people paw patrol is a kid show. But after watching this movie... I feel like I am a new fan of them. As an animation lover, the way they animated the pups are simply too adorable to resist. Story line isn't bad either. Following the kids show premise, with character back story and development in it. You get a full movie.

I m 24. And I cried. A few times... One of the character goes through something that I understand deeply. And every time I see it... every time I cry. This movie will remind you that even the big and strong can be mentally hurt. And that it doesn't mean they are weak.

If you've ever watched the TV show, you know what you're in for. The film version builds on that and adds a new layer to the burned out show. It feels fresh and also entertaining with enough adult comedy to add to the message of overcoming fears. Loved it and hope that the new city and characters are included in future shows.

Ignoring the fact this is Paw Patrol, this pawsome movie stands mighty on its own merits and is a fun, cool, exciting adventure from start to finish. This isn't just 86 minutes of what you get on TV. This is all new, revamped Paw Patrol which has been redrawn in a new style and modernised for its cinema audience. And ifs fantastic.

The story starts off in the familiar Adventure Bay and we are re-introduced to the characters with a typical rescue from Rider and his team of mighty pups. Then the narrative whisks us off to Adventure City where Mayor Humdinger is up to his naughty tricks once more and its up to the Paw Patrol to save the day again.

Its exciting from start to finish and the story is surprisingly good considering its source material. Chase takes centre stage with strong character development that delves in to his origin story and tells you how he became part of Riders rescue team of puppies. The only downside really that I can think of is that we didn't see enough of some of the other pups. It was too focused on Chase who I think is the dullest of the crew but it can be argued this was the point of his story. Rubble brings some comic relief from time to time but nowhere near enough and the likes of Rocky and Zuma are nothing more than background extras. Without giving anything anyway the squad also meet a new pup who serves as a guide to Adventure City and gets second billing after Chase.

The graphics and direction is superb and nothing less than what you would expect from a summer blockbuster animation movie. All of the team get brand spanking new costumes and vehicles and are showcased in the action brilliantly. My 4 year old little girl who is a big fan of the franchise already, loved every moment of it - laughing and clapping throughout and shrieked with glee on more than a few occasions. It even managed to pull on her heart strings and there was a moment i swear I heard a sniffle. By the end she was dancing on the floor in front of us and wanted to stay and watch it again when the credits rolled up.

This movie is an absolute blast and the Paw Patrol certainly are on a roll with this one.

Took my son to see this this afternoon. Could not have been a better experience. Our son is autistic so we weren't sure how he'd react sitting still for so long... He sat, for the entirety of the movie! He clapped, he got excited in certain parts but most importantly he sat still eating his popcorn from beginning to end!! 😀 very, very proud parents here. I love all things cinema, film and TV so this means so much to me.

Also, film was pretty decent to be fair. Didn't feel like a lengthy episode. It felt like an actual new movie 🎬

The popular cartoon series for children also got its feature film. As expected instead of one rescue they now had to add a few of them to the film however I didn't see any problem there. The puppies leave their bay and go to a big city where, as expected, they then have a great adventure. The film has its main story that is followed by several smaller ones. Each puppy got his moment in the film where they shone, but one puppy got a big part in the film where we see also a part of his past, all in order to teach us a valuable lesson. A few funny scenes, a lot of expected and quite predictable scenes with questionable logic, but still this is a movie where little dogs save people from difficult and dangerous situations, and besides it is a movie for children so they are all forgiven. Also a plus for the film is that it doesn't look like some extended episode but like a standalone film that is an upgrade to the whole series. A fun movie for kids.
