12 Animated Movies Like DC League Of Super-Pets You Should Watch Next

As a franchise, "PAW Patrol" has proven to be immensely popular, with more than 200 episodes of the television show airing since 2013. The premise sees 10-year-old Ryder and his team of search and rescue pups frequently called upon to save the residents of Adventure Bay and its neighboring communities. The show easily taps into that winning formula that appeals to children: cute characters, fun action, and a clear sense of right and wrong with a positive resolution in each episode when the pups come to the rescue.

These plucky pups are big business, and since 2014 the franchise has generated more than $8 billion in retail sales (via Paramount Pictures), so it was only a matter of time before they made the leap onto the big screen. Released in 2021, "PAW Patrol: The Movie" sees the squad heading to Adventure City to take down their biggest rival, the pompous Mayor Humdinger (Ron Pardo). With the group's leader, Chase (Iain Armitage), facing a crisis of confidence, the gang recruits sassy dachshund Liberty (Marsai Martin) and pulls together to save the day.

While the team may have everyday jobs — including a police officer and a fire marshal — the PAW Patrol are basically superheroes and fans of "DC League of Super-Pets" will find a lot to enjoy here. Like any reputable hero, these pups come with their own catchphrases, cool vehicles and gadgets, and that crucial thirst for justice. It might be aimed at younger audiences, but there's plenty of fun to be had here, and heroes rarely come cuter than this.
