'PAW Patrol' to Introduce Show's First Handicapped Pup During 'Dino Rescue' Theme

Nickelodeon's beloved CG-animated preschool series PAW Patrol is set to introduce the show's first handicapped pup as part of its upcoming Dino Rescue theme!


PAW Patrol is rooted in action and adventure and this summer the pups will embark on a Dino Rescue! In Dino Rescue, the PAW Patrol travel to Dino Land where they meet new pup and dinosaur expert, Rex. With brand-new rugged Dino Rescue gear, heavy-duty vehicles and tools, the pups are ready for action-packed prehistoric rescue missions in a lost world full of dinosaurs.

The Dino Rescue theme will be meticulously integrated into the PAW Patrol world, staying true to the storylines and characters while exploring new landscapes and rescues. Similar to previous themes, the attention to detail will transcend to the toys.

A first look at PAW Patrol Dino Rescue toy line has unveiled that Rex will be physically disabled, and will be equipped with a wheelchair for his back legs to help him get around:


The PAW Patrol Dino Rescue toy line will also feature innovative features and inspiring transformations like the PAW Patrol™ Dino Patroller, the first-ever motorized PAW Patrol vehicle, featuring large scale wheels for extra rough terrain the Patroller also comes with five and a half inch T-Rex Dino and Chase figure for your little hero to go on big rescues. The PAW Patrol™ Dino Patroller is set to zoom into stores during Fall 2020 with a SRP of $59.99. Suitable for children aged age: 3+.

Additional upcoming new PAW Patrol toys include Chase's Hovercraft, Ultimate Police Cruiser and the Adventure Bay Rescue Way.

Each of the new PAW Patrol toys is set to arrive in stores during Fall 2020.

Its fantastic that Nickelodeon and Spin Master are adding more diverse characters that viewers can see themselves in and relate to into the world of PAW Patrol! Representation matters, and the more kids from all walks of life are represented in the content they consume, the better.

The news comes hot on the heels of Spin Master announced the first-ever PAW Patrol theatrical movie! A Spin Master Entertainment production in association with Nickelodeon Movies and distributed by Paramount Pictures, the PAW Patrol film is slated to arrive in theaters in August 2021 and will be directed by animation veteran Cal Brunker (Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature; Escape From Planet Earth).

PAW Patrol follows the adventures of a tech-savvy boy named Ryder and his team of pups who are ready to save the day. Whenever there's trouble, pups Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Zuma, Rocky and Skye are ready for action, no matter what comes their way. With a mission to work together to keep Adventure Bay safe, no job is too big, and no pup is too small.

Airing in over 160 countries, in 30 languages, PAW Patrol is consistently ranked as one of, if not the, top-rated preschool series. Currently entering its seventh season on Nickelodeon, PAW Patrol's universal messaging resonates with children around the world and since its launch in 2013, the franchise has won countless awards.
