Honestly, leaps and bounds better than one would understandably predict. So, this shouldn't work, but against every single odd that is present in the cinematic galaxy, it does. If I was raised on Chase and the gang I'm pretty sure I'd say the same thing.

Alas, I grew up on 2000s-era Nickelodeon, with shows like Blue's Clues, Oswald, The Backyardigans, and even a tinge of Yo Gabba Gabba cementing my young-age nostalgia for years to come. I'm sure if I just so happened to be born later than I was and the Paw Patrol barked its way into my childhood edutainment then I too would have little plushies of all the pups sitting somewhere in my room. They're also probably conscious to the fact that Rocky's catchphrase is 'Green means go!' and that Skye mans an air rescue helicopter. Chances are, if you have any small children within your residence, there's a 95% chance they know who Chase the German Shepherd is. It's a feature-length incarnation of a franchise specially curated for the youngest of the young, it seems, with cutesy canine characters, bright and gaudy colors, no dramatic conflicts or high-stakes kerfuffles, sweet and safe morals, and to top it all off a ridiculously catchy theme song that's almost obligated to haunt the heads of parents nationwide. It'd be easy to scoff off Paw Patrol: The Movie based on some simple assumptions.
