Synopsis: Get on board the Dinosaur Train with Buddy, an adorable dinosaur, and his adoptive Pteranodon family as they embark on nine whimsical voyages in the DINOSAUR TRAIN: T-REX TALES DVD available from PBS Home Video and Paramount Home Entertainment. In these special adventures, Buddy travels to Rexville, home of the Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaurs, and learns that he too is a Tyrannosaurus!
Kids can learn fun and fascinating new facts about the dinosaurs while traveling through prehistoric jungles, swamps, volcanoes and oceans. “Dinosaur Train” embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains while encouraging basic scientific thinking and skills. Perfectly timed to the holiday gift-giving season, the DINOSAUR TRAIN: T-REX TALES DVD includes a bonus holiday episode, interactive games, coloring pages, Dr. Scott’s Segments and a reference guide for parents.
My Review: I thought this was a very cute movie! My husband actually hopes our son will get into dinosaurs when he gets older, so he (my hubby) was especially interested in watching this movie with the monkey. My son actually sat down and watched some of this with us…which is saying a lot because he doesn’t pay much attention to TV unless Big Bird is on the screen!
I think this will also be a good movie for him to watch as he gets older, as there were a lot of facts about dinosaurs presented in the movie. There are also tons of bonus features on the DVD that make it even more entertaining.
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie, and recommend it to all parents with toddlers and preschoolers.
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this movie in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% mine.
