Paw Patrol: Der Mighty Kinofilm

All those familiar pups are back, except with (mostly) different voices which is an automatic point off for me. Another point off is the overall visual look of the film. It looks more like a video game than what the 2021 film looked like, which I prefer over this instalment. My 3rd point off is the plot, which I feel is slightly heavy for the age group we're going for. Again, I felt the 2021 plot was great, while keeping it super light and fun. That being said, this movie moves at a good pace, is quite entertaining, has many laughs for all ages, and does have some return voices which helps. My kids enjoyed it and want to see it again, we'll see if it gets viewed as many times as the 2021 version, which I'm guessing I've seen about 50 times lol!

This is a kids film, so I have no idea why people are reviewing it through their eyes as adults.

Yes, there are a more "scary" moments than the first one - But my 2 year old is scared by Scooby Doo, yet had no problems with this. And yes... the voices are a bit different - but only adults will notice that anyway!

So. As a KIDS film - This was great. Entertaining, emotional & funny for both kids and parents. Well produced, well edited, great soundtrack, lots of nods to action/superhero films for adults. Kid lapped up every minute, including the end credits, and didn't want to leave. So 10/10 as far as she's concerned.

I liked the film. It was energetic and spirited. A few adult themes centred around confidence, family and friendship which was still simple for children to digest made for a simple and straight forward story. The added theme of superpowers made it fun but also questionable. For me, if they have these powers then why would they need their vehicles still? Hmm. My kids on the other couldn't care less. They were happy to see a super powered Skye that can now fly still get into her jet ha-ha. My favourite characters were the newly added pup recruits. Too cute, cuddly and funny. The movie moves away from the innocence of the tv show. There's a lot more action, destruction, shooting, explosions etc. In other words, if this happens to be your first experience of the Paw Patrol then going to tv shows from this? You're going to really struggle. Compared to the tv show this movie is on steroids with action. My kids loved the film and I feel if it had the marketing budget of the Super Mario film it would have done a lot better. It's a really good family movie which will definitely be repeated a few times in my home.

This movie is the sequel to the Nickelodeon movie Paw Patrol: The Movie (2021) that is based on the 2013 show Paw Patrol that is still going to this day; I know what the show is about, even though I have not seen much of it, and this movie is based on something that does happen in the show. The sequel Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie (2023) is as good and enjoyable enough as the first movie, with it having great animation and good voice acting for these characters that kids will know because of the show, but also it has fun action and entertaining enough villains where you can have some fun with it. Plus, even if you have not seen the show before, or if you have seen some of it but not too much, you might question some things that happen but will like it despite it being aimed at kids.

The whole cast voicing the Paw Patrol pups and the owner Ryder all do a respectable job voicing these characters, along with side characters having well-known actors voicing them, even in exceedingly small roles that do not make a difference. Unlike the first movie where it focused on the police pup Chase, this movie focuses on the pup named Skye finding out how she was found by Ryder, and her proving to herself that she is not a weak small pup by taking this power crystal, gives herself superpowers, and uses them to save the day from the many threats to Adventure City involving meteors, Mayor Humdinger, and Victoria Vance. There is not much to say about the main characters other than that the way they save people from incidents/accidents is entertaining to watch, and them using their powers from the crystals is cool with the nice-looking animation.

The villain is Victoria Vance who makes a machine to drag meteors from space to come down and crash on Earth where Adventure City is, along with her saying she is not a mad scientist, even though she acts crazy and over the top; the other villain is the return of Mayor Humdinger, but he does not do much other than break out of prison, help Victoria steal the crystals, and have one sequence around the end of the second act leading to the third act/third act climax. The animation is well done and nice to look at, with it being bright and colorful, along with the look and colors from the crystals, the Paw Patrol equipment, how they use their powers, and what the powers look like when they use them; also, the action sequences in the movie were fun and entertaining to watch, even in the third act climax.

If you have kids who are fans of the Paw Patrol show, or if you like the show yourself, along with liking the first movie, then you will have fun or will be entertained with this sequel movie; the movie sequel Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie (2023) is clearly not for me, but I was entertained by it and some fun with it, even though I have not seen much of the show. Not a perfect animated movie, but it is not trying to be, it is just trying to be fun and entertaining.

When I saw this movie last week I loved it i laughed and cried at the film not for being bad but it was just a good film to take your kids to see. If you're child Is a fan of the show or likes dogs then they would like it but if you're taking your child Just because why but they won't like it as much but that being said it was really good they really Archie into skyes backstory and Thot was really good and the acting was good not good another fir an Oscar but good enough that you didn't get annoyed and the bad guy was thought out well but my one thing Is that there was a scene where the bad guy felt like your average bad guy other than that it was nice to see.
