Review: DINOSAUR TRAIN “Dinosaur Big City” Screening Party

Today we hosted a special Dinosaur Train movie screening at our house. I connected with the folks at PBS Kids while at the EVO ’11 conference and because of that I’ll be doing some special reviews and posting some great info about PBS Kids on the blog. This is perfect because Eva is a huge fan of PBS Kids and the great programming that they have. Dinosaur Train is one of those terrific shows that is on PBS Kids. It is about a family of Pteradons and their adopted T-Rex son, Buddy. They go on some fun adventures through the many different time periods of prehistory. They get to the different time periods through a special train that goes through time tunnels. There is even a lesson about real dinosaurs at the end of each episode. Trains and dinos, ow can you go wrong with the hearts of kids everywhere. Well, the show was a hit and it is back for a second season starting Monday August 22.

I introduced Copper and Tod to Eva the other day and she enjoyed the movie. She did get scared at some parts because like all Disney movies there are some intensely scary scenes for young kids so that the heroes of the films can prevail. We received the Blu-ray and DVD combo pack and watched the movie on DVD. Once we get a Blu-ray player we’ll watch the movies on that instead. We got the movie early but you can pick up this 30th anniversary release today as it it hits stores today August 9th. In case you don’t know much about the movie I’ve included a press release and some fun activities and videos to get acquainted with the characters.
