Johannesburg, 12 August 2026: The Paw Patrol pups are back on the big screen, and this time, they are taking on their biggest adventure yet. PAW PATROL: THE DINO MOVIE opened in cinemas this past weekend, bringing dinosaurs, daring rescues and plenty of action to fans of the much-loved franchise.
In the new movie, the pups find themselves far from Adventure Bay after their ship is caught in a mysterious storm and crash-lands on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. There they meet Rex, a pup who has lived on the island for years and knows everything there is to know about its prehistoric inhabitants.
But adventure quickly turns to danger when Mayor Humdinger begins recklessly mining the island in search of its natural resources, inadvertently causing a huge dormant volcano to erupt. It is then up to the PAW Patrol and their new friend Rex to tackle a series of dino-sized rescues and save the island and its inhabitants from disaster.
The Adventure Comes to Malls Across SA
To celebrate the cinema release, PAW PATROL: THE DINO MOVIE activations are bringing Adventure Bay to shopping centres across South Africa. Young fans can enjoy hands-on toy demonstrations with Prima Toys, shop the latest PAW Patrol toys from Toy Kingdom, discover paw-some character clothing from Woolworths, and treat their furry friends with goodies from Montego. Packed with fun activities and exciting products, the activations offer families the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of the film in cinemas.
Of course, no Paw Patrol experience would be complete without one of its best-known pups. Chase will make special appearances for meet-and-greets, giving fans the chance to meet the police pup in person and snap a photo with him.
Chase will be at Mall of Africa from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 August, with appearances between 11:00 and 16:30 each day. He will then move to Menlyn Park Shopping Centre from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 August, where he will also be appearing from 11:00 to 16:30 daily, before heading to The Pavilion in Durban from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August, from 11:00 to 16:30 each day.
