PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups

Movie · 2019

A 44-minute preschool-friendly adventure where a meteor gives the PAW Patrol pups superpowers, and they must stop the villainous Mayor Humdinger and his nephew Harold from stealing the meteor for themselves. Peril is brief and consequence-free, and the whole film wraps up with every pup safe and happy.

A great pick for PAW Patrol fans ages 3 and up; very sensitive toddlers under 3 may want a lap for the villain and peril moments.
