Paramount Pictures’ PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is clearly aiming to be a full family-event movie, and the new trailer makes that push feel even bigger by pairing the pups’ prehistoric island adventure with a brand-new Backstreet Boys song. The latest look at the film teases dinosaurs, volcanoes, and the kind of oversized rescue chaos the franchise has been building toward, while also previewing Bottle Up, the group’s new single arriving tomorrow, June 12. With the movie set for an August theatrical run, Paramount and Spin Master are now selling this one on both dino-sized spectacle and cross-generational music nostalgia.
Dinosaurs, Disaster, and a Bigger Swing for the Pups
The strongest thing about the new trailer is how fully it commits to the premise. After their ship is caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol crash lands on a tropical island filled with dinosaurs, where they meet Rex and get pulled into a larger crisis when Mayor Humdinger’s reckless mining wakes up a dormant volcano. That setup gives the movie more scale than a standard rescue mission, which is exactly what the franchise needs on the big screen. The new footage leans into that by making the island feel like a full adventure world instead of just a gimmick.
That bigger backdrop should also give the cast more room to play. The film features Carter Young, Mckenna Grace, Terry Crews, Meredith MacNeill, Ron Pardo, Jennifer Hudson, Hayden Chemberlen, Fortune Feimster, Jameela Jamil, Rain Janjua, Bill Nye, Paris Hilton, Lucien Duncan-Reid, William Desrosiers, Nylan Parthipan, and Snoop Dogg, while introducing Henry Bolan. With Cal Brunker back directing from a script by Brunker and Bob Barlen, the trailer suggests the movie knows exactly how much louder and larger this chapter should feel.
Bottle Up Gives the PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie Trailer an Extra Hook
The Backstreet Boys angle is what really gives this rollout extra juice. The trailer features their new song Bottle Up, and the single is set to release tomorrow, June 12. That is a smart move because it gives PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie something for parents to latch onto while the dinosaurs and volcanoes do the heavy lifting for kids. It also helps the trailer feel a little more event-sized instead of just another sequel spot.

This is the kind of pairing that should work well for the film. PAW Patrol already knows how to hit younger audiences with bright visuals and high-energy action, and now the campaign gets an added pop hook that feels built to widen the conversation. Even if the movie is ultimately about pups saving a dinosaur island from extinction, the music makes the whole thing land with a little more fun and a lot more personality.
The Dino-Sized Adventure Starts This Summer
PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie opens only in theaters on August 14, 2026. Fans can watch the new trailer now, and the Backstreet Boys’ new single Bottle Up arrives tomorrow, June 12. The film is rated PG for mild action and peril.
