PAW Patrol/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Trivia about PAW Patrol includes:

  • Adored by the Network: This show is essentially the SpongeBob of Nick Jr., in terms of how often it airs.
  • The Other Darrin: Since most of the child characters are played by actual children, they have to be recast every once in a while:
    • In Season 2:
      • Max Calinescu replaced Tristan Samuel as the voice of Chase.
      • Drew Davis replaced Gage Munroe as the voice of Marshall.
      • Elijah Hammill replaced Owen Mason as the voice Ryder.
      • Stephany Seki replaced Hiromi Okuyama as the voice of Farmer Yumi.
    • In Season 3:
      • Samuel Faraci replaced Stuart Ralston as the voice of Rocky.
      • Jaxon Mercey replaced Elijah Hammil as the voice of Ryder.
      • Jaiden Cannatelli replaced Lucius Hoyos as the voice of Carlos.
      • Megan Fahlenbock replaced Julianna Paul as the voice of Ace Sorensen.
    • In Season 4:
      • Carter Thorne replaced Alex Thorne as the voice of Zuma.
    • In Season 5:
      • Justin Kelly replaced Max Calinescu as the voice of Chase.
      • Wyatt White replaced Christian Distefano as the voice of Alex.
      • Justice James replaced Moses Rankine as the voice of Julius Goodway.
      • Holly Gorski replaced Addison Holley as the voice of Julia Goodway.
      • Jonathan Malen replaced Daniel DeSanto as the voice of Danny.
    • In Season 6:
      • Lukas Engel replaced Drew Davis as the voice of Marshall.
        • Engel would later be replaced with Kingsley Marshall towards the end of Season 6.
      • Lilly Bartlam replaced Kallan Holley as the voice of Skye.
      • Keegan Hedley replaced Devan Cohen as the voice of Rubble.
      • Shayle Simons replaced Carter Thorne as the voice of Zuma.
      • Joey Nijem replaced Jaxon Mercey as the voice of Ryder.
  • Recycled Script: Season 6 has quite a few:
    • Pups Save a Freighter is essentially a remake of Pups in a Fog, as both episodes take place during the evening/night and involve the pups stopping a boat from crashing into something (the lighthouse in Fog, and the Adventure Bay Bridge in Freighter).
    • Pups Save Chickaletta's Egg has a couple similarities to Pups Save the Parrot. Both have an animal, who was originally thought to be male (Mateo the parrot and Jimmy the alligator, respectively), be revealed to have laid eggs, and their owners (Carlos in Parrot and Francois in Chickaletta's Egg) giving them female names upon this discovery (Mateo is renamed Matea, while Jimmy is renamed Jenny).
    • Pups Save a Mud Monsteris similar to Pups and the Snow Monster. Both episodes take place at Jake's snowboarding resort, involve someone discovering a "monster" (actually Mayor Goodway and a couple of Farmer Yumi's animals, respectively), and have the PAW Patrol investigate whether said "monster" is actually real or not (both times, they weren't).
  • She's a Man In Japan: For some reason, Marshall and Zuma were originally girls in the Brazilian dub. However, they were later changed back into boys, and their original lines in the Brazilian dub were later re-recorded.
  • Talking to Himself: Ron Pardo voices Cap'n Turbot, Mayor Humdinger, and Farmer Al.
  • Too Soon: Following the death of George Floyd in late-May 2020 and the subsequent police brutality protests throughout June 2020, Chase's Ultimate Rescue episodes were temporarily pulled, and the Nick Jr. website changed an icon of Chase (representing PAW Patrol) to an icon of Marshall.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • At first, Ryder was going to be called Raffi. His name was later changed to Roddy and Robbie, before Spin Master settled on Ryder.
    • The pups were originally going to look a lot more realistic. They were later made more cartoony to make it easier to make toys for them.
    • Initially, Ryder was going to rescue each of the original six pups before they became part of the PAW Patrol. This concept was later abandoned, and the pups were instead with Ryder from the start.
    • Jake was originally going to have a St. Bernard named Timber. Timber never made it into the show proper, but he may have later been reworked into Everest.
  • Word of God: According to the show's official Instagram page, Chase was the first member to join the PAW Patrol.
  • Working Title: The show was originally going to be called Raffi and the Rescue Dogs, then Ryder's PAW Patrol, before the latter was shortened to just PAW Patrol.
