PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie (2026)

Paramount says PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie will jump from the big screen to your living room on September 29, just weeks after its August 14 theatrical debut. The 88‑minute, PG‑rated adventure marks the third feature‑length outing for the beloved canine crew, building on the success of the franchise’s previous films. In this tropical island escapade, the PAW Patrol pups wash ashore alongside a new cast of dinosaur friends who are facing a looming volcanic eruption. The story blends comedy and high‑stakes adventure, brought to life by a star‑studded voice lineup that includes Mckenna Grace, Jennifer Hudson, Terry Crews, Snoop Dog g, Jameela Jamil and Fortune Feimster. Fans who download the movie will also unlock a trove of extras. A Backstreet Boys featurette shows the pop icons recording the PAW Patrol anthem, while another behind‑the‑scenes look,"Dinosaurs Galore!!!," introduces dino characters Timmy and Rhubarb. Music lovers can enjoy a Bottle Up music video and lyric video for Ava Max’s"Work," plus a sing‑along version of the Backstreet Boys track. The film is directed by Cal Brunker, who co‑wrote the script with Bob Barlen, and is produced by Laura Clunie, Jennifer Dodge and Ronnen Harary. With its blend of familiar faces, new prehistoric pals, and family‑friendly bonus content, the digital release promises to keep the PAW Patrol adventure rolling long after the credits roll.

The third PAW Patrol feature, PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, drops to digital on September 29, bundled in a PAW Patrol 3‑Movie Collection, with DVD and Blu‑Ray following on November 17. Fans can dive into a suite of bonus content—from a Backstreet Boys anthem and music video to behind‑the‑scenes looks at new dinosaur pals Timmy and Rhubarb, plus a sing‑along version of the group’s new track “Bottle Up.” The film’s theatrical run was brief but lucrative, raking in $155 million against a $40 million budget and comfortably surpassing its $100 million break‑even point. Critics gave it an 83% Rotten Tomatoes score, while audiences awarded a 95% Verified Hot rating on Popcornmeter, setting the stage for a strong home‑media performance. Its digital debut lands in a quiet window for family animation, with DreamWorks’ Forgotten Island faltering at the box office and the next big animated releases—Laika’s Wildwood in late October and The Cat in the Hat in early November—still weeks away. That timing gives the Mckenna Grace‑led adventure ample breathing room to capture at‑home viewers looking for a fun, dino‑packed romp.

Spin Master and Paramount Animation have just unveiled the creative duo behind the franchise’s fourth feature: veteran director Cal Brunker, who helmed the last three Paw Patrol movies, will co‑write the new installment with screenwriter Bob Barlen. The announcement follows a string of box‑office hits that have collectively raked in over half a billion dollars worldwide, cementing the brand’s appeal to both kids and their parents. Executive Vice President Vishnu Athreya emphasized that the pups’ universe is far from finished, promising more series, specials, short‑form videos and interactive play experiences."We're investing in the franchise to keep delivering what fans love," he said, underscoring a strategy that blends new storytelling with the beloved tone that made the 2013 Nickelodeon series a global phenomenon. Paramount Animation’s president Jennifer Dodge echoed the excitement, noting that the upcoming film will introduce fresh characters and new adventures while staying true to the core values of teamwork and heroism."We're thrilled to extend the pups' adventures on the cinematic stage and bring audiences another thrilling experience that showcases the series' core values of teamwork and heroism," she remarked. With the previous release topping charts in multiple territories and the brand’s ever‑expanding merchandising and partnership deals—including a forthcoming collaboration with Tyson Fury—the new Paw Patrol movie is poised to be another benchmark for animated feature performance and a fresh chapter for fans worldwide.
