The cast and crew of PAW PATROL: THE DINO MOVIE shared their thoughts on the movie’s themes, such as courage, perseverance and the support of loved ones.
“Writing on this movie was so fun, because we really discovered just the theme, the power of perseverance, and…to just never give up, and that’s something that relates to my life, and to everyone’s life, too,” Bob Barlen, the movie’s writer, told Movieguide® at the movie’s premiere.
PAW PATROL: THE DINO MOVIE’s young cast shared their thoughts on courage and perseverance, with William Derosiers saying, “[Courage is] to always be brave and to never get scared about something.”
“Courage is, it doesn’t matter if you fail once, as long as you get up and keep going and pushing,” Nylan Parthipan added. “If you fail, you can try again.”

He credited his mom for being his support system, sharing, “My mom has always pushed me when I was down. She always told me, ‘You can do it, keep going.’”
Co-star Carter Young agreed, saying, “[My mom and dad] have helped me throughout this whole journey and they’ve been there for me, and I just appreciate them so much.”
“I hope that [the movie] inspires them that they can do anything they put their mind to, because you can just never give up,” he continued.
Barlen also shared what he hopes audiences take away from PAW PATROL: THE DINO MOVIE — “I really hope families take away just the chance to have a great time at the movies and to do something together as a family…and make a great memory as a family.”
PAW PATROL: THE DINO MOVIE follows the PAW Patrol puppies “after their ship is caught in a mysterious storm, leading to a crash landing on an uncharted tropical island filled by dinosaurs. There, they encounter Rex, a pup who has survived on the island for years and developed extensive knowledge of its prehistoric inhabitants,” a plot description from Animation World Network shares.
“The story centers on a new crisis triggered when Mayor Humdinger begins recklessly mining the island in an attempt to exploit its natural resources, inadvertently setting off a dormant volcano,” the description continues. “The resulting eruption forces the pups into a series of large-scale rescue missions as they work to stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.”
In a statement about the movie, Ramsey Naito, President of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation, said, “We are so excited to bring everyone’s favorite canine crew to a whole new, prehistoric world with this latest big-screen adventure. Audiences will get to experience a mashup of two perennial crowd-pleasers — The PAW Patrol and dinosaurs — like never before! We can’t wait to share this latest chapter with kids and families everywhere!”
