PAW Patrol Season 3

If you want animation that is not just for kids, PAW Patrol Season 3 is available on and right now. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. 813 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Elijha Hammill brings more to the role than the format usually demands. Start it whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason PAW Patrol Season 3 keeps coming up in conversation. PAW Patrol Season 3 treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. The PAW Patrol pups take their adventures to the sky with an all-new rescue vehicle, the Air Patroller, that can transport Ryder and the gang anywhere in the world. The third season also introduces new friends including Tracker, a jeep-driving pup with super hearing who lives in the jungle with Carlos. Elijha Hammill and Max Calinescu lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2015. The animation style is distinctive enough to be immediately recognisable, but it is the writing underneath that keeps viewers coming back for more. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

PAW Patrol Season 3 belongs on any best-of list regardless of format. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Elijha Hammill brings more to the role than the format usually demands. A harder one to justify skipping than to start.
