Arlington, VA – May 3, 2018 – Today, PBS Distribution announced the upcoming release of the new DVD “MEETING NEW FRIENDS,” featuring eight episodes from the popular PBS KIDS’ series DINOSAUR TRAIN, from The Jim Henson Company. Children will join the Pteranodon family as they meet new friends on the trail of the Dinosaur Train. Follow along as the Pteranodons help two new friends find their way back home, meet a Tyrannosaur who has similar features to Buddy, teach the Dilophosaurus twins to work together, hang out with a 40-foot crocodile, and much more!

The five-time Emmy-nominated DINOSAUR TRAIN, created by Craig Bartlett (“Hey Arnold!”), is set in a whimsically realistic, prehistoric world of jungles, swamps, active volcanoes and oceans. Each day, DINOSAUR TRAIN helps kids ages 3 to 6 apply scientific thinking as they discover new types of dinosaur species, compare and contrast dinosaurs to today’s creatures and embrace the living sciences of paleontology and natural science. DINOSAUR TRAIN airs weekdays on PBS KIDS (check local listings).
