Jeff Rowe will once again direct the follow-up. But this time, co-directors Kyle Spears and Yashar Kassai will accompany him.

Plot

“After their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol crash land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. They meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dino-related,” reads the official synopsis. “When the PAW Patrol’s arch rival, Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The PAW Patrol are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they’ve done before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.”

The Dino Movie is the most recent installment in the franchise, which began with the Paw Patrol television series and continued with Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie in 2023.
