The Paw Patrol team (which includes Everest and Tracker)are at Barkingburg to celebrate the Princess's birthday. However, the Duke of Flappington arrives, alongside his eagle Jean-Claude, and introduces himself as the Princess's cousin. However the Duke has evil intentions, as he and Sweetie team up to steal the Gem of Barkingburg, which combined with the Gem of Flappington, forms a powerful gem that has the power of levitation. Skye has to overcome her fear of eagle as she is to lead Everest and Tracker as the first responders for a Mission Paw, as they pilot supersonic jets while the others are trapped inside the castle.
Yeah, this is a neat TV film, but sadly, it's another one that has the sole purpose of introducing yet another new gimmick that will appear in the TV show so the writers can make new episodes (as well as SpinMasters making new toys to sell to kids). Also, this one focuses on Skye (as the last movie, Ready, Race, Rescue. focused on Marshall and Mighty Pups focused on Chase) and it has her conquering her fear to save the day. Also, it has the pups flying jets, which makes me not liking the gimmick somewhat, as Skye was always the air rescue pup since the series began, so it basically takes away what made her special in the first place.
However, it does do some things right. They got Everest and Tracker in, which is a rare treat, as those two are only around if the problem of the episode requires their skills, and the villain, despite falling under the usual cliché of being related to another character. is a lot better than Cheetah, as he has a better ambition that makes him a true villain. While some older Paw Patrol may not like this, it does have a good lesson about fear that kids will learn, and it is a good film for the target age group, as there is no violence (as usual with the Paw Patrol) and the rest of the team uses thinking for ideas to get out of the castle.
