Jim Henson's Dinosaur Train follows a fairly simple but super successful formula: Dinosaurs + Trains = hit show within the 2-8 male skewed demographic. However, this show proves to be more than just a cashmakersaurus. Dinosaur Train takes on non-conventional topics such as growing up in a blended family. The main character, Buddy, who is a tyrannosaurus, is adopted by a family of pteranodons (pictured left). Buddy has an interest in learning about all different types of dinosaurs as he and his family encounter many dinosaur species both on and off the Dinosaur Train. Not only are viewers exposed to different types of dinosaurs but also to the idea that learning and getting to know several different kinds of people with an open mind and heart is a great way to make friends and grow as a person. Dinosaur Train currently airs on PBS Kids in America and is available for digital download on itunes. Viewers can also play along with Buddy and his pals at http://pbskids.org/dinosaurtrain/ and by downloading the super funsaurs app,
Dinosaur Train Classic in the Jurassic, Jr. on itunes. Have a dinoriffic day!
