Rubble & Crew
What's the Story?
RUBBLE & CREW follows the fun story of Rubble and his crew of pups, who use their construction tools to help neighbors in need. Rubble and his family use their high-powered vehicles to build -- or rebuild -- structures and buildings in Builders Cove to make the neighborhood safe. Mix, Charger, Wheeler, and Motor are brave and happy to help those in need! Rubble's human friend, Ryder, pops in sometimes to lend a hand. But the pups always have to be on the lookout for the villainous Speed Meister and his sidekick, Mr. McTurtle. Will they be able to save the day like heroes, or will his evil plans get in their way?
Is It Any Good?
Two paws are high in the air for this lively show. Rubble & Crew's bright animation, upbeat music, and fun-loving characters are engaging for young audiences. The show teaches important lessons about organizing, teamwork, and being a great neighbor. Rubble & Crew is sure to please fans of the original series, PAW Patrol. Viewers will be left wishing the cute pups were a part of their own neighborhood's construction crew.
