The PAW Patrol performs an ultimate rescue from Marshall's ultimate fire truck. Aesthetically, it’s driven by our art team on the movie, but working in consultation with our toy design team.”īrunker adds: “Because this film is all about Skye’s story, and she’s a helicopter pup, we saw it as plane-centric.Envious Mayor Humdinger tries to draw the Adventure Bay Monster Movie production to Foggy Bottom by commandeering the mechanical movie monster, but he can't control the fire-breathing robot. “For us, it’s always about the story first – in this case, telling a compelling story about Skye and her history and journey, and within that tableaux asking what are the vehicles and superhero uniforms we want to see, then working out the action sequences. “The iterative process in which we design those vehicles and the film is our secret sauce at Spin,” Dodge says. Which leads to the chicken-egg question of what comes first when making a Paw Patrol movie: the story, or the toys? Spin Master is also used to pushing toys to match its media output, a fact and strategy that becomes clear during the first minutes of The Mighty Movie, when the pups command a massive aircraft carrier to complete a mission – the same aircraft carrier that can be found online at the company’s website (complete with Chase action figure and Mighty Pups Cruiser) for $129. “Many of us are television producers first, so we’re used to tight turnarounds,” Dodge says. Chase, Marshall, Skye and the rest of the pups – who gain superpowers this time around, giving the Marvel Cinematic Universe a run for its money – have six long weeks at the multiplex to themselves before Universal Studios’ Trolls sequel comes calling, quickly followed by Disney’s Wish and then Warner Bros.’ Wonka. partner Paramount Pictures saw an opening in the market and seized upon it: between now and American Thanksgiving in November, there isn’t a single new family-friendly release heading to theatres. The main reason for the sweat-equity push: Spin Master and U.S. It meant late nights and weekends, but the team did an amazing job.” So we had that section of our brains free to work on the script so the movie was ready to go if audiences embraced the first. “The last six months of work on the first movie was all lighting and compositing and effects, not much creative thinking. “It was record speed, and the team is still recovering from it – normally three years is a comfortable gap,” says Brunker, who re-teamed with Barlen to write the sequel as the first film was finishing postproduction. Whereas the 11-minute television episodes – dominating Netflix and anywhere else where your child finds themselves glued to a screen – are best described as no-frills CGI adventures, the film levels the action up to near-Pixar, or at the very least Illumination-worthy, levels of graphics and design.Īnd it was all done on a faster-than-Chase’s-fire-engine timeline: The second film arrives barely 26 months after the first was released. While Spin Master would not reveal the budgets from either the first film or The Mighty Movie – except to say that the sequel had a “conservative increase” – it’s clear from the big-screen action that this is not your toddler’s Paw Patrol. So on the second, we knew we could take those original assets and update the things we wanted to deliver something bigger.” “We learned so much from the first movie, which had a short schedule and a very conservative budget. “This is a made-in-Canada success story,” says Jennifer Dodge, a producer on the sequel and president of Spin Master’s entertainment division.
