But while still kid-friendly, PAW Patrol: The Movie is possibly the most exciting and suspenseful entry in the series to date, with the people the team saves being in legitimately life-threating situations. Darker and Edgier: Okay, so it's not that dark.The audience for his swearing in don't hesitate to lampshade it. Dark Horse Victory: The only reason Humdinger got elected as Adventure City's new mayor was because he was the only candidate in the running after his more favored opponent suddenly dropped out, with Humdinger secretly implying that he had something to do with it.In the show itself, Rubble has shown a fondness for wearing wigs on occasion. When Marty Muckraker's wig accidentally flies off and lands on Rubble's head, the bulldog takes a liking to it.Longtime fans who know exactly who and what numbers 08 to 21 are may find it heartwarming that the series has come so far that number 22 is introduced right on the big screen. Viewers whose first exposure to PAW Patrol is the movie may find it odd that the new member's vehicle number is 22 instead of 08, right after Zuma who is number 07.Captured on Purpose: Liberty lets herself be caught by Butch and Ruben so they'll take her to where Chase and the other dogs are, with the rest of the team following.Bumbling Henchmen Duo: Butch and Ruben, Humdinger's main enforcers, who are slightly more competent than their boss.When Skye questions how they can afford a new headquarters, Ryder says it was through the sales of PAW Patrol merchandise, as he holds up a T-shirt with one of the common stock arts (of Marshall, Chase and Rubble, but edited so Skye replaces Rubble) seen on the packaging of said merchandise and other marketing materials. Biting-the-Hand Humor: A mild example.Big Damn Movie: The rescue missions for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City are a lot more serious than any mission they've faced in Adventure Bay.Awesome, but Impractical: Mayor Humdinger's plans for Adventure City fall into this, and since it will inevitably cause trouble, Liberty calls the PAW Patrol to keep him in check. Ascended Fangirl: Liberty, an unabashed admirer of the Patrol, is initiated in the climax.All the humans get an extra finger added to their hands, too. In a jarring example, Cap'n Turbot (who has cartoony black-dot eyes in the show) has realistic, detailed eyes. Animation Bump: The film's animation takes a far more realistic approach than the series.And the Adventure Continues: The film ends with the PAW Patrol investigating the waterfront in Adventure City.Adaptational Wimp: The Kitten Catastrophe Crew are not equipped in their usual Evil Counterpart gear and are reduced to being Mayor Humdinger's housecats, rather than being rivals to the PAW Patrol.Adaptational Karma: Mayor Humdinger doesn't get to slink away back to Foggy Bottom this time.Adaptational Intelligence: Rubble is the only one who understands what Kendra the meteorologist is saying, even though in a season 4 episode of the series proper ("Pups save a Blimp") he's shown not to be particularly familiar with the terminology.Adaptational Comic Relief: While the pups are often silly in one form or another, Rubble really stands out as the comic relief of the team in the film as opposed to the series.
