On Monday, August 18, PBS KIDS premieres “Classic in the Jurassic,” an all-new one hour special from The Jim Henson Company’s hit series Dinosaur Train.
In the special, kids travel through time with the Pteranodon family to an Olympic-type competition in which dinosaur teams representing three Mesozoic time periods compete in contests.
Following the special, new episodes of Dinosaur Train air on PBS KIDS throughout the week.
Clips and full segments from “Classic in the Jurassic” will be available on pbskids.org, the PBS KIDS Video App, and on Roku and Apple TV starting on August 18.
And on August 26, “Classic in the Jurassic” will be available on DVD through PBS Distribution.
Families can take “Classic in the Jurassic” adventures mobile with the Dinosaur Train Classic in the Jurassic Jr. App, available on iPad. In the app, kids play through four math-based games focused on sorting, using a pan balance and counting to help Gilbert get Troodon Town ready for the big event.
