More Detail:

PAW PATROL: THE MIGHTY MOVIE is a sequel to PAW PATROL: THE MOVIE.

It opens with a masked burglar stealing a magnet from a junkyard outside of Adventure City. The burglar starts a fire in the junkyard, and the owners call on the PAW Patrol pups to help save them. The movie introduces familiar members of the PAW Patrol team, like Chase, Marshall, Skye, Zuma, Liberty, Rubble, and Rocky.

Skye ends up saving the lives of the junkyard owners. Afterwards, however, Skye feels insecure because she’s the smallest pup in the group. Ryder, their human companion, assures Skye that it’s not about the size of the pup.

Meanwhile, the criminal who stole the magnet announces on the internet that she plans to use it to attract a mysterious meteor to her scientist hideout. However, her experiment goes wrong, and the meteor ends up destroying the PAW Patrol’s home base in Adventure City. While researching the mysterious meteor, Skye discovers that inside are crystals that give her the ability to fly and have super strength.

Skye and the rest of the PAW Patrol pups each receive a crystal that gives them a unique superpower that corresponds to their skills. However, Liberty is the only pup unable to figure out

her power. With their newfound strength, they decide to call themselves “The Mighty Pups.” The pups use their new superpowers to help citizens of Adventure City and save lives.

Little do the pups know, a pair of criminals are hatching a plan to steal all the crystals to use them for their own selfish gain. When Skye loses her crystal, she makes a selfish decision that could put all the pups in danger.

Will The Mighty Pups be able to band together to stop the pair of criminals?

PAW PATROL: THE MIGHTY MOVIE is an exciting adventure with strong morals. Families can watch THE MIGHTY MOVIE without any fear of an agenda or immorality. It has a strong emphasis on the importance of family, sharing with those we love, courage, and doing the right thing. In the end, Skye learns it’s better to be selfless than selfish.

That said, there are some scenes of pups in peril, as well as a scene that depicts a shelter pup alone which could upset some viewers. Aside from one or two bathroom jokes, the movie is clear of bad language. Ultimately, PAW PATROL: THE MIGHTY MOVIE is a fun, animated adventure for the whole family.
