PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is going full Jurassic Bark for National Dinosaur Day, and the latest reveal is exactly the kind of dino-sized chaos this movie should be serving. Paramount Animation and Spin Master have introduced a brand-new dinosaur named Rhubarb while also dropping a new featurette that spotlights the rest of the Dino Pack, including Timmy the T-Rex. With cast members Mckenna Grace, Jameela Jamil, Terry Crews, and Jennifer Hudson helping bring the prehistoric energy to life, this newest look pushes the movie even further into big, colorful, family-event territory ahead of its August release.
Rhubarb Brings More Bite to the Dino Adventure
The smartest thing about this reveal is how much it leans into the movie’s core hook. PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie was already going bigger by dropping the pups onto an uncharted tropical island full of dinosaurs. Now, by introducing Rhubarb and giving more attention to the Dino Pack, the campaign makes the prehistoric side of the film feel more like a true co-star instead of just background spectacle.
That matters because dinosaurs are the whole flex here. The PAW Patrol movies already know how to scale up rescue missions, but dinos, a volcano, and a mysterious island give this chapter a much stronger fantasy-adventure edge. Rhubarb helps sell that world as something packed with personality, not just danger.
The Dino Pack Looks Built for Big-Screen Fun
The new featurette also helps flesh out the larger creature lineup, with Timmy the T-Rex and the rest of the Dino Pack adding even more flavor to the island setting. That gives the movie a stronger visual identity and makes the premise feel less like a simple gimmick and more like a full-on prehistoric playground for the franchise.
It also sounds like the cast is having a blast with it. Mckenna Grace, Jameela Jamil, Terry Crews, and Jennifer Hudson bring a lot of energy to the featurette push, which is exactly what a movie like this needs. PAW Patrol works best when it feels big, bright, and sincere, and the Dino Pack angle seems built to deliver all three.
Volcanoes, Villains, and Prehistoric Rescue Missions
The actual story still sounds like the franchise’s biggest swing yet. After the pups crash land on the island, they meet Rex, who has survived there for years and become the resident dino expert. Then Mayor Humdinger predictably makes everything worse by mining the island and triggering the eruption of a dormant volcano. That setup gives the film a strong mix of dinosaurs, disaster, and rescue spectacle, which should be more than enough to keep younger audiences locked in.
Between the mysterious storm, the dino-filled island, and the volcano countdown, PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie looks like it wants to go much bigger than a standard animated sequel. Rhubarb and the new Dino Pack reveal only make that clearer.
PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie opens in theaters on August 14, 2026. Fans can watch the new Dino Pack featurette now, while the full prehistoric rescue adventure hits the big screen this summer.
