PAW Patrol: The Movie/Trivia

*This was the first PAW Patrol film to be released theatrically, as the previous three PAW Patrol films: "Mighty Pups", "Ready Race Rescue", and "Jet to the Rescue" were direct-to-DVD TV movies.
*This film was released on Paramount+ the same day it was released in theaters.
*The PAW Patrol: The Movie logo is more detailed and HD than the show logo.
*This film marked the debut of Adventure City.
*Liberty, Delores, Barney, Harris, Rocket, Gus, Tony, Carmen, Marty Muckraker, and Kendra Wilson all made their debut.
*The pups have a sky-high headquarters in Adventure City.
*The pups received bigger vehicles and new gear.
**They have one new feature that is not in the main series, they can drive with both of their front and hind paws.
**It is reused in PAW Patrol: Grand Prix video game.
**If you count Chase's new bike feature when driving up the building, this is the third animal (Liberty being the first pup, which makes Chase the second pup to drive one) to drive a bike.
*The film focused on Chase and revealed his backstory. 
**He was a stray when Ryder found him, and he had an owner before Ryder, but was eventually abandoned in downtown Adventure City.
**This is the second movie to focus on Chase after "Mighty Pups".
**With this, it may also suggest that Chase may have been born in Adventure City and when Ryder found him, they moved to Adventure Bay.
***What happened to Chase is usually what happens to real life stray dogs, cats and other animals that become abandoned by their owners. 
*Rubble becomes the comic relief character of the team in the film as opposed to the series, getting more comedic and goofy moments than Marshall does.
**His actor Keegan Hedley ad-libs a lot of his lines.
**According to director Cal Brunker after recording, Rubble has a few influences to Disney comic-relief characters such as the Genie from Aladdin, Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King, Mushu from Mulan, and Olaf from Frozen.
**According to Keegan Hedley, Cal Brunker gave Rubble a personality change from being a tough pup to a funny comic-relief character in this movie.
*This is the second time a pups' backstory has been revealed.
**The first was Rubble in "Pups Get a Rubble".
*Due to the great success of the movie, a sequel was announced.
*The film features several elements not present in the main series, namely genuine crimes, real dangers being shown, financial terms (insurance, official merchandise, affordability), and several social world problems (anxiety, betrayal, trust). The crimes are mentioned:
**Arson - Fireworks fiasco.
**Destruction of Property - when the storm is generated from the Cloud Catcher cause severe weather conditions, although the PAW Patrol stopped this from happening in countless episodes in the main series. 
**Animal Abuse - Humdinger authorized the complete removal of almost every dog on the streets of Adventure City.
**Government Misconduct- Humdinger abused his position and completely neglected the safety of the general public.
***Other stuff include copyrighted music from Maroon 5's "Good Mood" and Fifth Harmony's "That's My Girl", which isn't present in the main series. 
*The film features several similarities to the main series:
**Dog-napping - Mayor Humdinger kidnaps every dog (like above) to be cats only. (Sweetie kidnapped Chase in the main series episode, Mission PAW: Quest for the Crown)
**Upgraded vehicles- In every sub-series, the pups get new vehicles. (Air Pups, Rescue Knights: Quest for the Dragon's Tooth, Aqua Pups: Pups Save a Floating Castle, etc.)
**New pup- Liberty is the new pup in the movie and at the end becomes part of the team, just like Everest, Tracker, etc. (The New Pup, Tracker Joins the Pups!, Pups Get a Rubble, Mighty Pups, Super Paws: Pups Meet the Mighty Twins, etc.)
*A number of the equipment from the original series feature several new features in the film:
**Rocky's original recycling truck can deploy road flares from a compartment under the hopper.
**Zuma's original hovercraft can deploy marker buoys.
**Chase's original police pup pack has a grappling hook feature and a safety harness.
**Rubble's original bulldozer has grey tracks instead of yellow. His original pup pack also contains numerous robotic arms ending in dessert plates.
*The film takes place in a separate continuity from the main series. As such, the PAW Patroller is depicted in it's original design as opposed to its new design (which debuted around the same time as the film), and the team permanently relocates to Adventure City.
*A DVD and Blu-ray were released on November 2nd, 2021.
*Prior of the movie, tons of merch, ads and sneak peeks appear in stores.
**Some TV series from Season 8 DVDs included a sticker announcing the movie "coming soon".
*This is the first time Mayor Humdinger held another office: Mayor of Adventure City.
*According to the reporter, Marty Muckraker, the leading candidate dropped out, leaving Humdinger winner by default.
*Mayor Humdinger could have used corrupt/unorthodox practices to win the election as stated by him: "Well, maybe not fair, but who is keeping track?"
**A woman claims that he is the only one on the ballot, which normally in elections has 2 or more people run for office.
*Mayor Humdinger abuses his powers over the course of the movie just to boost his ego.
*Mayor Humdinger breaks the fourth wall by telling the audience if this goes viral, he'll "cancel" the internet.
*Ryder is said to be 14 years old in the film, even though he never aged in the series (this is because the movie takes place during a Season 2 timeline).
*With the exception of Ryder and the main six pups, the only returning characters from the main series to speak are Cap'n Turbot, Mayor Humdinger, and Mayor Goodway.
*Unlike in the show, the humans in the movie have five fingers instead of four.
*There is an instant fourth wall break in the movie, it happens when Skye asks how Ryder was able to afford the Adventure City HQ, Ryder replies with "Official PAW Patrol merchandise, they sell like hot cakes", while holding a shirt up.
**The PAW Patrol shirt Ryder holds up in the new headquarters depicts official vectors of Skye, Chase and Marshall in the main series style by Guru Studio.
*Although the main series updated its animation style to be more realistic in Season 8, the film's animation style is much closer to real life. A key example is with the humans and pups; the humans all have realistic eyes (including the Turbots), the aforementioned finger count, and the hair and skin textures are much more detailed. The pups' fur is also given a similar amount of detail, and like real dogs the skin of their lips is colored black. Additionally, the pups' rear legs are anatomically accurate, much like Dwayne in the main series.
**This happens in the software, Unreal Engine, SFM and Blender.
*This is the sixth time Chase needs rescuing.
*This is the seventh time Ryder needs rescuing.
*This movie marks the fifth time in the PAW Patrol Franchise that a PAW Patrol vehicle was damaged/destroyed/defaced. This time, the vehicle was Skye's copter, which she used to destroy the cloud catcher. However, it was rebuilt at the end of the film.
**The first was in "Pups Save the PAW Patroller".
**The second was "Pups Save Friendship Day".
**The third was "Ultimate Rescue: Pups Save the Pupmobiles".
***The fourth was "Pups Stop the Cheetah".
**The movie has been out for a year.
**It also marked 8 years since "Pups Jungle Trouble" and "Pups Save a Herd" premiered.
*This is the second PAW Patrol member (Chase) to take a break from the team. First was Marshall in "Pups Save a Friend", in which Marshall misheard the others saying they are better off without him, only for the scene to pan to them that they were commenting on the Apollo show. Here, Chase was told to take a break, which he did not want to do and ran away.
*This is the third time Chase lost his pup tag.
*There are three new original songs that played in this movie.
**"Good Mood" by lead singer of Maroon 5, Adam Levine.
**"The Use In Trying" by Alessia Cara.
**"PAW Patrol Theme Song (Reimagined) (The Math Club version/Reimagined).
*Six other songs were played in the movie:
**"PAW Patrol Theme Song (TV series version)
**"Something Right" by Kiki Simons.
**"Tear the Roof Off" by Spilt Milk
**"That's My Girl (Fifth Harmony)" (Liberty's joining the team scene) by Fifth Harmony.
**"Somebody Sometimes" by FITZ
**"PAW Patrol: The Movie end credit (PAW Patrol Theme Song movie version)" by Scott Simons.
*The song, "I Need Help" by Fitz and the Tantrums, was featured in the movie's trailer.
*When Chase is placed in the jail like room with other dogs that were dog-napped, there is an older Dalmatian. This is the second Dalmatian to appear in the series.
**The first is Marshall.
*There are some similarities to the movie, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs:
**A cloud machine releasing in the sky to collect clouds (in the movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Flint's cloud machine used clouds to make it rain food, the cloud catcher is used for studying instead of manipulating the weather).
**The mayor destroying the signal to the cloud machine making it go out of control (in the movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the mayor threw a drumstick at the dish that sends the orders of the foods destroying it, Mayor Humdinger carelessly tosses the remote in front of Kendra preventing her to stop the device in any way).
**Heroes take their aerial vehicle to the center of the storm and destroy it. (Skye having to stop it with her helicopter in the movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Flint having to use a kill code on a USB and Spray on shoes to stop it).
**Mayor wants to put the place on the map but drastic results thanks to their hubris (Mayor Shelbourne uses Flint's invention to produce food non-stop and ditches the residents to save himself, Mayor Humdinger puts on fireworks display, loop-de-loop train system, Humdinger heights and Cloud catcher overload forcing the PAW Patrol to save the day and stop him).
**Both became a Franchise expanded to different materials.
***PAW Patrol: TV Series, Video Games, Books, Movies.
***Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs: Movies, TV Series, Short Films and Video Games,
**Both of those films features sitcom stars.
*The movie released on Paramount+ and in theaters 8 days after the series' 8th anniversary.
*In PETA's 2021 Oscat Awards, PAW Patrol: The Movie won the award for Best Animated Feature. 
*Gus' tanks contain red Canada leaves, where the series was created.
*There is a storyboarded scene that was removed from the final production of the movie called "Chase's Nightmare".
**The final scene becomes Chase that cannot sleep through the night.
**According to Cal Brunker's tweets, it never made it to the animation stage of the movie because the team believed the audience understood Chase's fears without the scene.
***It may also have been scrapped due to it being much darker than anything shown in the series.
*Also, in one of these storyboards, Liberty was called "Rosie".
*Arna Selznick, one of the storyboard artist, released "four of the movie's storyboards".
*The rock near Adventure City says "MMXIV", which are the Roman numerals for 2014.
*After the theatrical release of PAW Patrol: The Movie, fans began a movement, #ReleaseTheBrunkerCut, which advocated for Spin Master to release an alternate version of the movie, colloquially referred to as the "Brunker Cut".
**Many PAW Patrol and Rubble & Crew cast members have voiced their support for a release of the director's cut, including Ron Pardo, Kim Roberts, Caoimhe Judd, Anya Cooke, Kit Rakusen, and Mikayla SwamiNathan.
*There are a few instances where there innuendos are spoken and understood by the adult of the audience.
**Marty remarks that Humdinger's subway upgrade is a "steaming, hot pile of, dare I say, poop." (sh- word)
**Mayor Humdinger later details that the disaster was a "little subway snafu" (situation normal, all fouled up).
*This is the third time a Star Wars reference sneaks into PAW Patrol (I have a bad feeling about this). The first is in "Jet to the Rescue".
*As of November 18, 2022, the movie aired on Nickelodeon for the first time.
*Running gags:
**Throughout the film, Mayor Humdinger has a few occasions where he either loses his top hat or his kitty underwear gets exposed.
**Throughout the film, whenever Kendra announces something, her initial delivery is her talking fast while using scientific terms unable to be understood easily by casual listeners. After figuring out they did not understand her earlier, Kendra would then use more commonly used terms that others would understand except Rubble, who understood her. This comedic element was used 4 times in the film.
*Continuity error: When returning the baby turtle to its family, Ryder is holding the turtle with his hands, even though in "Pups Save the Sea Turtles" he instructed Alex not to touch the sea turtles, as it is unsafe for them.
*The traffic jam deployment scene is unrealistic in three ways:
**In real life, people are required to move out of the way of emergency vehicles when they see and hear sirens and flashing emergency lights; both Chase and Marshall's vehicles have these features, yet they have little effect on the traffic.
**Skye could have flown straight to the disaster site without waiting for the other pups.
**A number of Liberty's shortcuts would not have easily accommodated thepups vehicles.
*When Ryder is showing the pups the mission prep area of the Adventure City HQ, Rubble accidentally goes into Skye's cubby. However, the cubby dresses him in the standard uniform she wears in Adventure Bay instead of the new standard uniform she wears in Adventure City in this film.
*Despite being a movie, the 2021 KCA commercial for it plays the TV series theme song.
*The screening size for the movie on Nickelodeon is more zoomed than the screening size on Paramount+.
**This results some of the scenes to overlap the movie.
*At the start of film on the Nickelodeon Movies logo section, closed caption says "creature grunting" instead of "SpongeBob grunting" since the release of the third SpongeBob film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.
