PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, the third theatrical film in the PAW Patrol franchise, opened in Japanese cinemas on 24 July 2026 and is now available to rent on multiple streaming platforms. Here is a full breakdown of where to watch it, how much it costs, and who voices the characters in the Japanese dub.

Where to Watch

The film is currently available in Japan as a rental only — no platform offers it as part of an unlimited subscription plan. Services carrying the title include:

• U-NEXT — ¥2,189/month; 31-day free trial with a ¥500 point bonus on first registration
• Amazon Prime Video — Prime membership ¥600/month with a 30-day free trial; rental fee charged separately
• Hulu — pay-per-view rental at ¥770 (tax included)
• FOD — 700 coins
• YouTube — rental from ¥700 (tax included)

The film is not available on Netflix, Disney+, DMM TV, ABEMA, or Lemino. TSUTAYA DISCAS does not carry a DVD rental either, and it does not appear on the free broadcast catch-up service TVer.

Best Value: U-NEXT for New Subscribers

For viewers who do not yet have a U-NEXT account, it offers the best deal. Signing up for the 31-day free trial grants a ¥500 point bonus immediately. Since the rental costs 770 points, new members effectively pay only ¥270 out of pocket. Continuing subscribers receive 1,200 points per month (valid 90 days), making it easy to rent the earlier PAW Patrol films as well.

Story & Highlights

PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is a CGI animated feature in which the pup team lands on Dino Island, an uncharted island teeming with dinosaurs — from a towering T-rex to a baby T-rex named Rhubarb. When a group of diamond thieves stirs up trouble and the island’s central volcano begins to behave dangerously, the pups don dino-themed gear for an emergency mission to protect the island and its prehistoric inhabitants.

Key Highlights

• Pups meet dinosaurs — The bond between the PAW Patrol team and the island’s dinosaurs is the emotional core of the film.
• Dino gear action sequences — The pups’ dinosaur-themed equipment is showcased on a cinematic scale befitting a theatrical release.
• Backstreet Boys theme song — “Bottle Up” was written exclusively for this film by the Backstreet Boys.
