“After their boat is caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol pups crash-land on an unexplored tropical island teeming with dinosaurs. They encounter Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dinosaur. When PAW Patrol’s arch-nemesis, Mayor Humdinger, begins reckless digging in hopes of exploiting the island’s natural resources, he inadvertently triggers the eruption of a massive dormant volcano. The PAW Patrol pups are launched into a series of high-stakes, dinosaur-sized rescues, bigger than anything they’ve tackled before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.”
