Patrulha Pata: o Super Filme

While not as subversive as its predecessor, it delivers on the promise of a smart and salient sequel with bolder action, bigger stakes, and deeper resonance for all ages.

If you can imagine your kiddo enjoying an animated car-chase scene featuring puppies and kittens, set to Icona Pop's "I Love It," they'll probably be thrilled with "The Mighty Movie."

Unfortunately, much of the film's running time is taken up [with]... the sort of typically mind-numbing action sequences stuffing adult live-action superhero franchises.

Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie is nicely animated and reminds kids to celebrate their qualities and power from within. It won't win awards but it is certain to delight its target audience.

As with the first feature, The Mighty Movie is not an experience to seek out if you don't have a five-year-old who requires it, but it's not disagreeable to sit through if you do get stuck at it.

Is it a worthwhile transition object to get children used to the thrill of seeing stories they love on a giant screen in a dark room? Of course, it is.

PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie has enjoyable moments children and adults will enjoy, but also poses big questions and complicated ideas about personal growth and achievement.

Skye's story is sweet enough to make it worth recommending especially for families of small children.

Not torture for adults. PAW patrollers receive superpowers, of course.

Nothing about the sequel is anywhere near as compelling, surprising, or even as mildly interesting as the pups' first movie, which, let's be honest, already wasn't Citizen Kane.

This is still a time-waster designed to momentarily distract the smallest children in exchange for pitching them a new line of PAW Patrol action figures. Little kids will like it, but they can still do better.

Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie is a cute, surprisingly satisfying animated feature. As an entertaining family film, it accomplishes its goal, and it provides a strong message around a story that kids should enjoy.

The film offers some cute character interactions, a funny villain & a story that is enough to have you rooting for the heroes, and Skye in particular.

For a kids film there is still a genuine charm and comedy that will make the film enjoyable for both kids and adults.

Skye's subplot will particularly resonate with young audiences, since she initially feels like her small size makes her the team's weakest link.

PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie is blatant commercialism. If you're going to sell toys, this movie at least puts some work into making it fun.

"PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie" is not a good movie, but it should appeal to its intended audience.

While "PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie" will still play well with kids on the small screen, there's enough big-screen action and loads of heart to help kids engage with their favorite pups on a whole new level.

Don't babies deserve superhero movies, too?

'Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie' is a real treat.
