Forget the Jurassic era; don’t even think about the Cretaceous era – it’s time for Buddy and his friends to take you on a journey to the ‘Spooky era’ in an exciting Dinosaur Train adventure!
All Aboard! As StudioCanal releases Jim Henson’s™ Dinosaur Train – Spooky Adventures, the perfect Halloween treat for pre-schoolers featuring seven themed episodes, a fun colouring sheet and never seen on TV educational segments with resident Palaeontologist Dr. Scott.
From the producers of The Muppet Show, Dinosaur Train embraces and celebrates the fascination pre-schoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains while sparking an interest in life science, natural history and palaeontology.
Dinosaur Train is one of Nick Jr’s most popular shows and stars Buddy the world’s cutest T-Rex, who, with his friends, jump on the Dinosaur Train and circle the world to meet, explore and have adventures with all kinds of dinosaurs.
Buddy is especially curious about the differences between species and vows to learn what makes each dinosaur special by riding the Dinosaur Train.
