Dino-Zug

Trains? Dinosaurs? Why they were never put together before has to have folks not associated with Jim Henson's studio scratching their heads.

Dinosaur Train completely changes how kids learn about dinosaurs. Finally, all the mistakes I was taught as a kid are repaired! Dinosaurs use tails for balance, have proper names, sometimes are tiny, have feathers, fly, are birds, swim, hunt, etc.

Mix in some really well done music and clear, quality animation, and you've got a great show. Best of all is a moment after each episode with a real paleontologist who clears up fact from fiction and even gives great details about what was learned in the cartoon - finally, a TV show is using standard teaching methods like reinforcement and repetition without boring us to death.

Thank you, Dinosaur Train! You've created a show on a great subject that I can learn something new from right along with the kids! Well done!!

This show hits all the right notes for kids and is entertaining enough for the parents. Lovable characters, compelling voice talent and surprising plot variety given its long run and narrow subject. My 4 year old daughter is dinosaur obsessed and this show has hours of fun and educational content I can trust. She now knows the difference between a theropod and a sauropod, plus it offers great life lessons on friendship and family.

Very good science, fun show, Not annoying voice acting, nicely paced, not franetic like so many kid shiws. My boy has lesrned so much more about dinosaurs than i ever knew

My little one loves this show, probably because it's so colourful (although the animation has dated now!) but it's also very educational. The little characters are very inquisitive too, and explain things simply for kids, and the bit at the end of every episode where the palaeontologist explains what each dinosaur was like is interesting even for grown ups.

It's a clever little premise for a show too, as the characters travel between the three main time periods and meet different types of dinos.

I even learned that pteranodons (the main characters) weren't technically dinosaurs so I picked something up from it too!

When life gets in you way, this is the show to watch.
