All the Paw Patrol pups, especially Marshall, are very excited when a car race featuring The Whoosh comes to Adventure Bay. The pups are cheering for The Whoosh to win but Mayor Humdinger's cousin, the cheating Cheetah, has other plans. Determined to win the trophy by any means possible the Cheetah stoops to all kinds of dirty tricks to ensure she wins the race. After The Whoosh injures his elbow, Marshall steps in to drive on his behalf but he is no match for the Cheetah's tricks. When a tie is declared and a new race set, despite feeling inadequate, Marshall again agrees to drive for The Whoosh but the Cheetah and Mayor Humdinger will stop at nothing to come in first. When The Whoosh is abducted and the other race cars stolen it is up to the pups to save the day and for Marshall to prove you do not need to cheat in order to win.
Selfishness, loss of confidence, cheating and sabotage.
There is some violence in this movie including:
Through a variety of mean tricks, the Cheetah repeatedly sabotages other race cars and their drivers by sticking their wheels to the pavement, damaging tires, stealing parts, and causing drivers to be unable to see, lose control of their vehicles, and occasionally crash.
In the process of stealing a race car the Cheetah knocks into a man on a ladder. The man holds on to the roof of a silo for dear life as a fire rages beneath him. Despite damages and occasional injuries, the Cheetah never faces consequences for her actions.
The Cheetah purposefully knocks into a large statue that nearly crushes a monkey queen.
Nothing of additional concern.
