PARAMOUNT PICTURES “PAW Patrol… are they still a thing?” asks Mayor Humdinger, the villain of “PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie” — a rare moment of irony in a film otherwise unfashionably devoid of it. That lack of second degree should by rights be charming, in a film landscape where fourth walls are constantly being torn to the ground, but that would be counting without the unsettlingly upbeat pups at the film’s centre, the scourge of parents to pre-schoolers around the world. That demographic will surely produce strong box-office takings for this new installment, which represents something of a step up in ambition for the franchise.
