Roku knows that children are the future and, with that in mind, they just launched a new app aimed at families. “Best of Paw Patrol & Friends” promises to be the ultimate streaming destination for non-stop, ad-free adventures featuring some of the most popular animated characters on television. Now, kids can immerse themselves in the exciting world of Paw Patrol and Friends, offering countless moments of fun and adventure without interruptions.
“Paw Patrol,” a beloved Canadian animated series created by Keith Chapman and produced by Spin Master Entertainment, first captured the hearts of fans in 2013. The show revolves around Ryder, a young boy who leads a pack of search and rescue dogs known as the PAW Patrol. Together, they embark on missions to protect Adventure Bay and its residents. Each pup is inspired by real-life emergency services, equipped with unique vehicles and hi-tech gear, making every rescue an exciting adventure. The premise is not only fun, but educational as it helps kids appreciate local heroes in uniform.
Since its inception, “Paw Patrol” has evolved into a formidable media franchise, significantly boosting Spin Master’s profile in the preschool toy market and spawning a wide array of products, a feature film, sequels, and spin-offs. The original series, which has been showered with various awards and nominations, is now in its tenth season, with an eleventh season set to air in spring 2024. According to series creator Keith Chapman, the show’s enduring appeal could see it continue for another decade or more.
In an interview with the Financial Times in 2022, Chapman explained this take on branding, “You’ve got to have the theatre show, you’ve got to have a film, you’ve got to have merchandise and books. It’s got to be big. I don’t just think about just a TV show. It’s got to be creating a brand.”
With the launch of “Best of Paw Patrol & Friends” on Roku, children can easily access their favorite episodes and characters in one convenient location. This new app ensures that the adventures of Ryder and his team of pups are just a click away, ready to entertain and inspire a new generation of fans with tales of bravery, friendship, and community service.
