Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie is an upcoming Canadian animated action-adventure comedy film based on the television series Paw Patrol created by Keith Chapman. Produced by Spin Master Entertainment, it is the sequel to Paw Patrol: The Movie (2021) and Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie (2023) and is being directed by Cal Brunker, who co-wrote the screenplay with Bob Barlen. The ensemble voice cast includes Mckenna Grace (voicing Skye), Ron Pardo (voicing both Cap’n Turbot and Mayor Humdinger), Jennifer Hudson, Fortune Feimster, Snoop Dogg, Bill Nye, Meredith MacNeill, Paris Hilton, Terry Crews, and Jameela Jamil.
In September 2023, before the release of Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, Spin Master announced a third Paw Patrol film is in development with a planned 2026 release date. Returning crew members were announced soon after, including Brunker as a director and Jennifer Dodge, Laura Clunie, and Toni Stevens as producers. Mikros Image in Montreal, like its predecessors, returned to handle the animation, this time collaborating in Paris, with the casting of Grace, Hudson and Feimster being announced the following year. The film is based on the Dino Rescue sub-theme of the main show.
Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie is scheduled to be released in Canada by Elevation Pictures and the United States by Paramount Pictures on August 14, 2026.
Additionally, Jennifer Hudson, Fortune Feimster, Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, Bill Nye, Meredith MacNeill, Jameela Jamil, and Terry Crews have been cast in undisclosed roles. [2] [1]
On September 26, 2023, three days before Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie was released, Spin Master Entertainment announced a third film is in development, scheduling it to be released in 2026. [3] [4] In October 2023, it was reported that Mikros Image in Montreal, like its predecessors, would handle the animation, this time collaborating in Paris. [5] In April 2024, it was announced that Cal Brunker would return to direct, with Jennifer Dodge, Laura Clunie, and Toni Stevens also returning as producers. [6] In February 2025, it was announced that the film would be titled Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie. [7]
In February 2025, it was reported that Mikros' parent company, Technicolor Group, would shut down its operations immediately due to financial struggles and failures to find new investors. [8] [9] This led to Mikros' global operations ceasing work on current projects, including The Dino Movie. [10] In March 2025, it was reported that Rodeo FX acquired Mikros' Paris and Canadian operations with the mission of continuing these projects. [10] Domain Entertainment provided the financing for the film. [11]
In September 2024, Mckenna Grace (reprising her role as Skye from The Mighty Movie), Jennifer Hudson, and Fortune Feimster were announced as part of the cast with Ron Pardo reprising his role as both Cap’n Turbot and Mayor Humdinger. [2] In May 2025, the rest of the cast was officially announced, including Jameela Jamil, Terry Crews, Paris Hilton, Snoop Dogg, Bill Nye, and Meredith MacNeill. [1]
Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie is scheduled to be released in the United States and Canada on August 14, 2026. [12] It was originally set to be released on July 31, 2026 and July 24, but in May 2025, it was pushed up one week, presumably to avoid competition with Spider-Man: Brand New Day , before being delayed once again.
