PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie opened in wide release on August 14, 2026, with early critic reviews establishing an initial Tomatometer in the low-to-mid 80s before settling near 81% from 26 reviews. This marks the highest score among the three theatrical entries in the franchise, outperforming the 2021 original (82%) and 2023’s The Mighty Movie (71%), as reviewers noted solid kid-focused action, dinosaur set pieces, and reassuring themes of teamwork despite mixed adult assessments on pacing and originality. The film’s PG rating and family positioning have driven strong audience scores above 90%, while additional reviews from major outlets continue to post in the first weeks after release. The score trajectory will hinge on the volume and tone of remaining critic notices before the market resolves.
