Here are all the new and returning characters in PAW Patrol: The Movie and here's who voices them. A long-running children's animated series, PAW Patrol stars a group of pup-tastic heroes who strive to do good in their home of Adventure Bay. It's been running since 2013, with children thrilling to the team's canine adventures, and now they've hit the big screen as well.
PAW Patrol stars a young boy named Ryder who leads a team of specialized search-and-rescue pups on a range of missions. Each one of the dogs has specialized equipment - perfectly suited for a range of toys and merchandise, of course - and they're associated with a specific emergency service or civil service occupation. The plots have been complimented for a surprising depth, depicting problem-solving methods in a surprisingly realistic way.
PAW Patrol: The Movie takes the pups out of Adventure Bay, and it certainly has enough action to keep kids entertained. What's more, it features some big-named voice actors. Here's everything to know about the PAW Patrol: The Movie cast, and the pups they portray.
Iain Armitage is Chase
One of the main characters in the TV series, Chase is essentially the star of PAW Patrol: The Movie. A German Shepherd who sometimes takes himself a little too seriously, he's a police and traffic cop who has received spy training in season 2. He grew up on the streets of Adventure City, giving him a strong character arc for the film. Chase is voiced by Iain Armitage, a young American actor who made his debut in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and he's best known for playing the part of the titular character in the Young Sheldon TV series.
Will Brisbin is Ryder
16-year-old Canadian actor Will Brisbin plays the part of Ryder, the PAW Patrol's human boy who gathered the PAW Patrol together. This was the first time Brisbin has auditioned for a voice-over role, and he went up against stiff competition to become one of the main stars in PAW Patrol: The Movie. He had to keep his role a closely-guarded secret for some time, pretty difficult given his nine-year-old brother is a huge PAW Patrol fan. Unfortunately, the nature of the animated industry means Brisbin has yet to meet any of his co-stars and colleagues.
Keegan Hedley is Rubble
The lovable construction pup Rubble has been voiced by Keegan Hedley since 2017, and he's returning for Rubble's big-screen debut, as well. In addition to playing Rubble, Hedley has voiced the hero of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, appeared in The Odd Squad, and he'll next be seen in SyFy's Chucky series.
Lilly Bartlam is Skye
Another returning member of the PAW Patrol cast, Lilly Bartlam has voiced Skye since 2019. In addition, she's also appeared in Dot, Little People, What We Do In The Shadows, and even The Handmaid's Tale, giving a sense of the breadth of her talents. She plays Skye, the female cockapoo who usually serves as the team's lookout and scout thanks to her helicopter.
Kingsley Marshall is Marshall
An adorable Dalmatian, Marshall is the PAW Patrol's firefighter and medic. He uses his x-ray screen to check people for injuries in order to treat them, but has a habit of going overboard on the bandages. Marshall has been voiced by Kingsley Marshall since 2019, who's returned for Marshall's big-screen adventure. The actor's live-action debut was in It's A Wonderful Mic back in 2015, and he's since appeared in a number of other children's shows; in addition, he's pursuing a secondary career as a stand-up comic.
Callum Shoniker - Rocky
Canadian actor Callum Shoniker has been acting since the age of eight, and he's appeared in a wide range of streaming movies and TV shows including The Boys, Polar, and The Silence. He's done a lot of voice-over work as well, voicing characters in Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood and Go, Dog, Go! - and even working on PAW Patrol before, where he voiced Copy Cat. Now he's stepped in as Rocky the recycling pup for PAW Patrol: The Movie.
Shayle Simons is Zuma
Known for his roles in Corn & Peg and Let's Go Luna!, Shayle Simons is making his big-screen debut as Zuma, the Chocolate Labrador pup who works best in the water. A cheerful and good-natured pup, Zuma is known for his orange lifeguard colors and his hovercraft, which he uses to rescue people at sea and deal with aquatic problems.
Marsai Martin is Liberty
Marsai Martin has set the record for the youngest ever executive producer in Hollywood - even appearing in the 2021 Guinness Book of Records. The celebrated actress is best known for playing Diane on ABC's Black-ish, but she's no stranger to voice-acting; her voice may be recognized from the likes of Spirit Untamed, Goldie and Bear, and Disney's Elena of Avalor. In PAW Patrol: The Movie Marsai plays a brand new recruit - a long-haired dachshund who grew up in Adventure City, who considers the PAW Patrol her heroes and works hard to keep the city clean.
One of the more high-profile stars in PAW Patrol: The Movie is Kim Kardashian West, the reality TV star well known for her provocative Instagram post. She plays the part of Dolores the poodle, one of the few "adult" dogs in the series - and in the movie as well. Kardashian has been excited to voice the part, thrilled that her children now consider her a "cool mom."
Ron Pardo is Mayor Humdinger and Cap’n Turbot
One of the stars of PAW Patrol: The Movie is doubling up; Ron Pardo, who voices main villain Mayor Humdinger and Paw Patrol ally Cap'n Turbot. The experienced Canadian voice actor has actually been involved with PAW Patrol since the series began in 2013, so it's pleasing to see him reprise both his major roles in the movie as well. Viewers may also recognize him from 2007's Hairspray, where he played the host of Good Morning Baltimore.
Dax Shepard is Ruben
Dax Shepard broke out of the MTV show Punk'd in 2003, and he's remained one of the most popular names on television. Like many names on this list, he's no stranger to voice-acting, and he's appeared in the likes of Zathura: A Space Adventure, CHIPs, and Idiocracy. In PAW Patrol: The Movie, he voices the part of Mayor Humdinger's bodyguard Ruben, a new character to the franchise.
Randall Park is Butch
Another big name involved in PAW Patrol: The Movie is Randall Park, the celebrated actor, comedian, writer, and director. Park has had an epic career that has even recently taken him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he played the FBI agent Jimmy Woo, who appeared in Ant-Man & the Wasp and WandaVision. He plays Butch, a harsh security guard, in PAW Patrol: The Movie.
Tyler Perry is Gus
That's right, PAW Patrol: The Movie actually features Hollywood royalty - Tyler Perry, the actor, director, producer, and screenwriter who was listed by Forbes as the highest-paid man in entertainment back in 2011. While his Madea series is generally panned by critics and produced on low budgets, audiences love them, and Perry is in talks with Marvel and DC about breaking into the superhero genre. First, though, he plays the part of Gus, a new Atlantic City trucker who's helped by the PAW Patrol.
Jimmy Kimmel is Marty Muckraker
In a perfect casting decision, Jimmy Kimmel - best known as host of Jimmy Kimmel Live - gets to voice anchorman Marty Muckraker, an anchorman in Adventure City. Like most of the Adventure City characters, he's brand new to the franchise - one of the big shots brought in to make PAW Patrol: The Movie appeal to adults as well as kids.
Yara Shahidi is Kendra
Kendra is one of the Paw Patrol's most important allies, a scientist who's responsible for maintaining all their equipment - think the "Q" of the children's animated series. In PAW Patrol: The Movie, the character is voiced by actress, model and activist Yara Shahidi, who's best known for her performance in Black-ish. Kendra only plays a minor role in the movie. She's due to make history as the first Black actress to play Tinker Bell in Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy movie.
