Paw Patrol is one of the most popular kids' cartoons these days, and it has been for several years. That being said, it is surprising that it has taken this long for the pups to make their way to the big screen.
The wait is almost over for a feature film, with Paw Patrol: The Movie landing in theaters and on Paramount+ on August 20th - just over a month from now. In addition to the beloved cast, however, the film also features several new names, and many of them are household names and quite popular, if not odd, choices for casting.
The new additions to the patrol of puppies include Tyler Perry, Dax Shepherd, Kim Kardashian West, Randall Park, Yara Shahidi, Will Brisbin, Jimmy Kimmell, and more. Luckily, a new featurette allows us to get to know some of these new cast members a bit better.
In addition to the featurette above, fans can also get a taste of these new characters with special posters below. As you can see, Yara Shahidi is Kendra, Randall Park is Butch, Tyler Perry is Gus, Will Brisbin is Ryder, Dax Shepherd is Ruben, Jimmy Kimmel is Marty, and they are all playing human characters. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian West is set to play what seems to be a rather pampered pooch named Delores, which pretty much tracks.
What do you guys think of the featurette and posters? Are there any members added to the cast that you're particularly excited about, or some you would have preferred left out?
Whatever the case may be, make sure to check out the official trailer, synopsis, and release info below. And as always, sound off in the comments section with your thoughts!
