A “Paw Patrol: The Movie”: The rescue dogs of the Nickelodeo­n children’s cartoon venture to Adventure City in their first feature film, hoping to thwart the plans of the nefarious mayor.

“Slightly stepped up from common TV animation for kids, the look of ‘Paw Patrol’ is below the standard detail, texture, artistic use of color and daring design of today’s theatrical 3D computer visuals,” writes Los Angeles Times critic Michael Ordoa in his review. However, he notes, “the show is presumably popular, so there’s probably a 3- to 6-year-old audience for this out there. Accompanyi­ng adults, though, are in for a ruff time.”
