One of the most nostalgic filled shows of the 90’s is heading to Disney+!
Jim Henson’s classic series, Dinosaurs, is finally headed to Disney+ in January. The series was given a release date of January 29, 2021, Brian Henson, the executive producer of the series commented on the announcements stating,
“Up until pretty recently it was on Hulu and it has had quite a following on Hulu. I think the audience will more easily find it on Disney+, which is terrific. It sits very well on Disney+. When they were divvying up what goes where, they eventually decided Dinosaurs should be over on Disney+. I think it’ll find a bigger and new audience base on Disney+.”
Dinosaurs premiered in 1991 and originally aired on ABC through October of 1994 for 65 episodes. Brian Henson, added,
“It was a show that benefitted from lack of experience. The way that we decided to make that series was sort of as a progression from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we barely made with spit and polish and rubber bands. We had no money, made it super-fast, and I wanted to use that same animatronic approach to dinosaurs. Basically, there was nobody who had the experience to do what we were doing. The fact that I was 27 or so didn’t matter. I was as much of an expert as anybody else. It was nice to bring everybody together and go, ‘Okay, this has never been done. And now we’re going to figure out how to do it.'”
The series is sure to be a streaming hit for the mouse company and while a delight offers one of the most morbid series finales of all time so newcomers are in for quite the ride.
