Dinosaur Train

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

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!

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!!

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

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.
