Rubble & Crew

Rubble & Crew is a Canadian animated television series and a spin-off of Spin Master's PAW Patrol brand. It is produced by Spin Master Entertainment, with animation provided by Jam Filled Toronto. Corus Entertainment also receives a production credit on the series.

Unlike the original series which airs on TVOntario in Canada, Rubble & Crew airs on Treehouse TV and StackTV. Both services are owned by the spin-off's co-producer Corus Entertainment. The series' first episode was released on the official Rubble & Crew YouTube channel on January 9, 2023 followed by its premiere on Nickelodeon in the United States on February 3 of that year.

Plot
While attending his family reunion in Adventure Bay, Rubble is called to the neighboring town of Builder Cove by Mayor Goodway's sister Mayor Greatway to help in its construction projects. After building a bridge to Builder Cove, Rubble suggests that his family move to Builder Cove where they establish a construction company called Rubble & Crew that operates out of the Bark Yard. Rubble & Crew helps to expand Builder Cove by repairing buildings and making new ones for various different proprietors while contending with a rival construction worker named Speed Meister. When a construction work is done, Rubble & Crew celebrate their success by doing the "Wiggle and Wag" dance.

Rubble & Crew also have personal songs like "We're a Pup Family" and "Bounce and Build".

Main

 * Rubble (voiced by Luxton Handspiker) is a 5-year-old English Bulldog and a member of the PAW Patrol who becomes the founder and the leader of Rubble & Crew. He drives around in a bulldozer with an excavator arm. Like PAW Patrol, Rubble is also an expert DJ and makes use of his catchphrase "Rubble on the Double". Handspiker previously voiced Rex from the Dino Rescue sub-series in Season 7 and replaces Lucien Duncan-Reid from the original series.
 * Mix (voiced by Shazdeh Kapadia) is an English Bulldog and one of Rubble's cousins, yet might lead to confusion about them being siblings, as they are the same breed of bulldog. She handles mixing things that are associated with construction like concrete, paint, cement, and glue. Mix drives around in a cement truck that can be customized with paint, cement, concrete, bubbly soap, water, asphalt, rubber, and sparkles. When it comes to certain projects, Mix would lean forward, bang both her front paws, and quote "Wouldn't it be fun if" and makes her suggestion. Sometimes after that, Rubble would quote "Mix, you are one smart pup".
 * Charger (voiced by Alessandro Pugiotto) is a French Bulldog and one of Rubble's cousins. He handles the heavy lifting for construction projects. Charger sports a prosthetic left back leg and drives around in a crane with a golden winch and stabilizer for heavy loads.

He is the first of the characters exclusive to the spinoff to appear in the main series appearing in the ninth-season episode "Charger Visits the Pups".
 * Wheeler (voiced by Liam McKenna in season 1, Nylan Parthipan in season 2) is a Pointer and one of Rubble's cousins. He is a clean freak and handles everything involving nuts and bolts.

Sometimes, Charger will make a comment about something and say it again after quoting "I repeat". He is the only member who is not a bulldog. Parthipan previously voiced Al from the original series Big Truck Pups sub-series in Season 9 and Zuma from PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie.
