Do you have a favorite Marshall & Rubble moment from Paw Patrol? If so what is it?

I can't think of too many right off hand, but one that comes to mind is a moment during the season one episode about Rubble's backstory. When Ryder calls the pups in for a mission, lil' Rubble starts asking Marshall what's going on, and while they're distracted, the two crash into the Lookout elevator. It made for a good wipeout, and a really cool (and a possible moment of bonding) moment between the Dalmatian and young bulldog. 😌

Season 10, episode 7 - "Jungle Pups Save the Meerkat Pirates / Jungle Pups Save a Hum-Hippo"

Over the last few months, I've seen many folks discuss their thoughts on the upcoming spinoff "Rubble & Crew". One of the biggest things I encounter, however, is confusion over the sudden appearance of Rubble's family. In truth, it does seem to conflict with what we know about Rubble's backstory. Just what's up with that, anyway?

Even though I don't have any interest in the character or the spinoff, I still came up with a theory of my own. Just for fun, I figured I'd share it. Of course, this is just a guess, so who knows what'll really happen.

First off, for those of you who haven't seen it or don't remember the episode, season one's "Pups Get a Rubble" gave us a glimpse at Rubble's history. Long story short, he was found wandering around while claiming he was "on his own". Later, when the young bulldog tagged along during a mission, he did something that impressed Ryder enough to allow him to stay at the Lookout as a permanent member of the PAW Patrol.

From the TV show's perspective, that was surely a few years ago, as the Rubble we know today is a lot older now. And that's why fans are so confused; just where was Rubble's family all this time? Have they been looking for him? If his family's so big, how'd they lose him in the first place? Did Rubble go wandering off on his own, and for what reason? And am I really going to keep carefully handpicking certain screenshots of Rubble that feature Marshall as well?

As of right now, we don't have the answers. Of course, this hasn't stopped fans from thinking up their own theories. And, I said before, I came up with one of my own, so I figured I'd throw in my two cents, too. Let me know what you think!

This will be another long post, so hit "Keep reading" to see more.

=================

Let's assume Spin Master will at least try to link the spinoff to Rubble's established backstory. Perhaps some big construction job went down somewhere, and Rubble's family was called in to help out. Maybe it was serious, maybe not, who knows. But the important detail here is that it's big, and it required their full attention for many days and many nights.

Rubble, being so young, wasn't allowed to go with them to help out. For that matter, he didn't understand what was going on or why everyone was suddenly gone so much. They kept telling him things like "we've got a big job to do" and "you stay here, we'll be back later", but rarely ever any more than that. Soon, as the days went by, Rubble started to believe nobody cared about him anymore, nor did they want him around, either. Sad and lonely, he finally came to the conclusion that he's now on his own...

...so he ran away from home.

Due to the job keeping everyone so distracted, the family didn't realize the young bulldog was gone until it was too late. They went looking for him, but nobody had any idea where he went or even which direction to start. Months go by, and they still can't find him. They're soon forced to give up their search, fearing he's gone forever... but deep down, they still hope to find him someday.

At this point, Rubble's found by Ryder, Chase and Marshall. He claims he's "on his own" because, from his perspective, that's what Rubble truly believes. As stated before, he joins the PAW Patrol and spends many years in Adventure Bay with his new family, serving as their construction pup and helping out on countless missions and rescues. Over time, he becomes well known among the townsfolk... in fact, you might even say he turned into quite the celebrity! But of course, Adventure Bay is a small place, so the events that go on there don't exactly make headlining news around the world. Anyone who knew Rubble prior to his running away from home would never think to look for him there. It's just one small town in a very big world! It would take him doing something in a big city to get noticed...

Cue Liberty calling the PAW Patrol about Mayor Humdinger's disastrous misdeeds in Adventure City, and the pups rush to go and stop him. As we know, the film ends with a big mission, and the pups are later awarded the key to the city for their heroic deeds. This certainly makes headlines, which is later seen all around the world. Knowing their job is done, the pups proudly head back home to Adventure Bay, with Rubble none the wiser that his appearance there was about to change his life...

Back in... wherever Rubble's family lives, Grandpa Gravel, Auntie Crane, and the rest of the family are all taking a break from their latest job when they decide to watch some television. The news is on, and the report starts talking about these heroic pups that saved the day in Adventure City. Soon, images of the pups flash on screen, and it doesn't take them long before one in-particular catches their eyes.

"Wait... that bulldog...?" "That looks like our little Rubble!" "It couldn't be him... could it?"

The news report has their full attention now, and they listen closely to the names of each pup as they're listed off.

"Chase... Marshall... Rocky... Zuma... RUBBLE?!? IT IS HIM!!! It's our little Rubble!"

"He's grown so much... he even has a full head of stylish hair, too!"

The whole family is overjoyed to learn that Rubble is indeed alive and well! And he seems to have grown into quite the hero, too! Wasting no time, they head straight for Adventure City to greet their once-lost member of their family! Well... they soon discover he actually lives in Adventure Bay, so they quickly change course and head there instead! And once they arrive, Rubble immediately recognizes them and freezes in disbelief. The family disembark their vehicles, and they all embrace Rubble with hugs and tear-filled smiles.

The family is reunited once again.

Rubble soon gives in and starts crying, too... but of course, he admits he believed they didn't care for him anymore. Realizing why he feels that way, Auntie Crane explains why they were all so busy/gone so much when he was younger, and she apologize for leaving him alone as much as they did. Rubble, being older now, finally understands the responsibility they held and apologizes for running away and worrying them so much, too. But now that the family's reunited, they invite him to join their crew so they'll never be separated again!

But... he can't do that. When they ask him why, Rubble says he has another family now. Sure, he's not related to any of the PAW Patrol pups by blood, but he knows they all still love and care for each other as if they were. He can't choose between one family or the other, but as it turns out, he doesn't have to!

"Builder Cove" is an upcoming town that requires numerous construction jobs to get it up and running. Conveniently The best news is, it's neighboring Adventure Bay! Rubble doesn't have to choose between his two families; he can now stay in either location and help out whenever he's needed! Rubble is overjoyed, as he now has the best of both worlds at his paws. What more could a pup ask for in life?

=================

Well, that's my theory! I do think Rubble's appearance in Adventure City is likely the key that connects everything, which might also explain why the spinoff's animation so closely matches what we seen in the theatrical film. Then again, maybe I'm way off, and Spin Master's explanation will be nothing more than "Rubble's family is here now because we said so". Hopefully there's more to it than just that, but... we'll just have to wait and see.

An image was recently discovered that gives us our first look at some of the characters to be introduced in the upcoming Rubble spinoff series. Looks like he'll be teaming up with his family!

"Rubble & Crew" is set to premiere in spring of 2023.

I recently discovered a site with some Rescue Knights concept art! They were made by Brian Frisch, so of course, all credit goes to him. A big thanks to Mr. Frisch for sharing these, too! You can find a link to his site near the bottom of this post.

One thing you'll notice right away is how the pups' armor uses black instead of silver. I think it looks nice, though I do think I like the silver a bit more. However, the biggest change has to be to Claw!

He's wearing RED armor! Villains in PAW Patrol don't ever wear such a heroic color, so it makes me think that, at some point during Rescue Knight's development, Claw might've been a good pup! It'd make sense, considering some of the images found before Rescue Knights premiered just didn't make the Doberman look evil (plus, at one point, there was a description on Amazon about Claw that also suggested he'd join the pups and help out, soooo....). Then again, that's just speculation on my part... maybe he was always intended to be bad from the start, who knows.

In any case, you can find a few more images on Mr. Frisch's site. Here's a link; definitely check them and some of his other works out!

And because why not, here's a bonus image from me; Marshall's Rescue Knights armor, but with the silver edited to be black! :)

A new image appeared based on the upcoming "Aqua Pups"! This not only gives us our first look at the new outfits, but also a new pup!

Definitely like what I'm seeing so far! I look forward to learning more!

[marshallpupfan]

Here’s something I found last night. I know it’s similar to one I posted before, but it gives us yet another look at the new pup, so I figured it was worth sharing!

Supposedly, his name is “Al”. Interestingly enough, that’s also the name of another character (Farmer Al). I wonder if there’s a connection? We’ll just have to wait and see!

So far, there’s still no date for when this new sub-series will air. I’ll try to keep you guys informed when we learn more!

Edit: I’ve been informed that some folks have discovered info hinting that the new sub-series and its merchandise could launch some time in the fall, around October and so.

For those of you in the United States with a subscription to Paramount+, I've got some interesting news for you!

As you might know, "Cat Pack" will release soon on the streaming site. June 24, in fact. I was initially under the belief that it was just the first episode, but as it turns out, it's all of them! Here's the description directly from Paramount+.

"The PAW Patrol teams up with a new pack of heroes: The Cat Pack - Wild, Leo, Shade and Rory! These two teams will have to work together to save Adventure Bay from a robotic tiger, stop a runaway rocket, and rescue a baby monkey in this epic, five-part adventure!"

Interestingly, Canada has yet to receive the last episode, as it'll air this Saturday (June 25). Folks in the USA get to watch it a day early!

While browsing around, I managed to find a really good quality copy pic of Marshall, Chase, Skye, and Rubble in their new outfits from the upcoming sub-series!

I gotta say, I like ‘em so far! :)

As far as I’m aware, we still don’t know the name of what this new sub-series will be called. Here’s hoping we find out some info soon! 

[marshallpupfan]

Better images of the Rescue Knights figurines have surfaced on Amazon! Not only that, we know the names of each dragon, too.

PAW Patrol Academy Yearbook Photos!

All of these were found on the official PAW Patrol Facebook page, with the exception of Tuck and Ella’s pages, as those two were made by me.

(I’ll make one for Wild Cat when/if I can find some high-res art of him.)
