Paw Patrol: The Movie is officially available to see in theaters and stream on Paramount+. As if the franchise weren't already popular enough to nab an audience, the stellar voice cast is sure to fill a few seats.
The human and animal voices are delivered by Kim Kardashian-West (Oceans Eight), Randall Park (Wandavision), Dax Shepard (Without a Paddle), Jimmy Kimmel (Jimmy Kimmel Live!), and Tyler Perry (Madea's Family Reunion).
Will Brisbin is a bit less known, but he leads the film as Ryder in his first-ever voice acting gig. To promote the film's release we chatted with Will and got his perspective on a few things regarding the movie.
Literary Joe: What are your feelings about canines in real life? Are there any dogs that you prefer breed-wise, or do you have any pets on your own?
Ryder (Will Brisbin): I love dogs! I just recently got a cockapoo puppy named Lloyd! He’s a crazy boy for sure but we love him a lot!
Literary Joe: Is there something that was particularly difficult to adapt to with this project, or did you feel at home in the shoes of Ryder?
Was there any particular research that went into your preparation for the role?
Ryder (Will Brisbin): This was my first ever voice-over role, so I was really excited! It was a big challenge for sure but I learned great lessons about acting and developing character!
To prepare for this role I watched a lot of Paw Patrol episodes and practiced being Ryder in the mirror every day!
Literary Joe: Have you lent your voice talents to any of the puppies, and if not, which one would you like to take a shot at?
Ryder (Will Brisbin): I haven’t lent my voice to any other role except Ryder, but I think it would be very fun to try and be Rubble. He’s such a cute and fun pup and I think it would be a lot of fun!
