Plot: Prehistoric Peril and Paws-on Action
In The Dino Movie, the PAW Patrol pups are swept away by a mysterious storm to an uncharted tropical island. But this isn’t just any island—it’s inhabited by dinosaurs! There, the team meets Rex, a fellow pup who has adapted to island life and become an expert on its prehistoric residents.
Trouble quickly arises when the mischievous Mayor Humdinger arrives with a scheme to mine the island’s resources. His reckless plan awakens a dormant volcano, threatening the island’s delicate ecosystem—and the lives of its dino and pup inhabitants. Now, it’s up to the PAW Patrol to embark on their biggest rescue mission yet, one that requires courage, clever thinking, and teamwork to save dinosaurs, the island, and themselves.
The film promises high-stakes adventure and heartwarming moments as the pups navigate a land where the prehistoric meets the present, offering an educational yet thrilling cinematic experience for younger audiences.
