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

This show is ok. There are elements that kinda work. The time-travel is interesting and there is some interesting facts for kids to learn. Some of the stories are good. The animation is so terrible that it actually confused me as a kid. A lot of obvious animation shortcuts were taken. This show either had a low budget, a lazy animation team, or both. There are a lot of elements that don't work. The characters and stories are extremely watered down. I know that this show is for kids, but there could be a little more depth. Each of the main characters has one little gimmick (most of them have it in their name) and they don't really go to far with them except when they want to teach some kind of lesson. Except for when its trying to be educational, this show is mostly filler. If the animation team had enough money and talent to create actual sets, and if the story was more focused on learning and character development, then it probably would've been much better.

OK, so this show does a good job of being educational & realistic, but in the intro a T-Rex hatches from an egg, in a Pteranodon nest.This type of scientific inaccuracy should be rectified.Perhaps an explanation. Otherwise, it could be confusing to children.Other than that.... good show!

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!!
