Dinotren

Not a bad show. It's got a catchy theme song and suitable for people interested in trains or dinosaurs or both

I loved this show when I was kid and my made me love dinosaurs

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!

One of the most informative children shows I was forced to watch as a parent. Each episode explores a specific group of dinosaurs in a way that is accessible to kids (and adults). Our little boy is 10 now and no longer watches DT but still has a great handle on his dinosaur knowledge. Thanks, in part to this awesome show.

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.
