*Paw Patrol: The Movie* is a funny, action-packed animated movie full of fast-paced chase sequences, delightful jokes, stunning visuals, and powerful themes like grief and acceptance, and making Chase the main character who grew up in Adventure City, the main location the movie is set in, adds a lot of nuance into the story as it allows us, the audience, to see his pain and how he eventually moved on thanks to the Paw Patrol. Adding in Liberty, my favorite character, was a nice touch and allowed the pups to have someone street-smart and grounded to balance out the movie's cast of characters while also providing inside knowledge into the city's infrastructure. The soundtrack was also fairly good, though "That's My Girl" by Fifth Harmony, which existed BEFORE this movie did, is my favorite song of the bunch. I love their music. The updated animation from the TV series also helps make the movie feel gorgeous while retaining the cartoonish elements of the source material. My only complaints are that it is severely rushed and feels like an extended episode considering the plot is the pups having to save a city from Mayor Humdinger's wrath. Still, it was a great movie and I honestly feel like adults will get a kick out of it more than kids.
