Attractions Magazine found it “surprisingly sweet”, praising the detailed island animation and the story about perseverance, and said Rex was the standout for her 8-year-old son. Its complaints are that the film is very loud, with near-constant action, and that the plot is highly fantastical.
Our read of the reviews: it is a solid pick for PAW Patrol fans and for families, and less so for adults looking for something with more depth. For another family film, see our The Cat in the Hat guide.
Is PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie Scary? Parents’ Guide
The film is rated PG for mild action and peril. Reviewers say there is no profane language and no real violence, and Plugged In calls it a wholesome adventure with strong messages about friendship, teamwork, perseverance and not being greedy.
- Intense moments: Plugged In and Attractions Magazine point to the volcanic eruption, fire, dynamite and dinosaur chases, and in Plugged In’s screening a few 4-year-olds were frightened.
- Loud and busy: Attractions Magazine calls it very loud and stimulating, and suggests hearing protection for sensitive children.
- Best age: Attractions Magazine would hesitate to recommend it for children 5 and under, and finds it better for ages 6 to 8. Other parent reviews say many 3-year-olds will be fine, so it depends on the child.
A good approach is to watch it at home on Paramount+ with a parent nearby, so you can pause or turn the volume down if the volcano scenes get too much.
