New to DVD is Dinosaur Train's Submarine Adventure. Buddy and everyone’s favorite Pteranodon family will dive
into an underwater adventure in “Submarine Adventure.” This DVD
features four new stories about sea creatures that lived during the “Age of
Dinosaurs.” Preschoolers will meet new friends along the way – from Otto
Ophthalmosaurus to Archelon turtles – as they learn about natural science,
natural history and paleontology.
Read a little bit about each story:
“Otto Ophthalmosaurus”
When
the Pteranodon family takes the Dinosaur Train under the sea to visit
their friend Elmer Elasmosaurus, they learn that the Elasmosaurus family
is leaving the station to follow their food – the fish. Buddy wants to
follow, but the train tunnel doesn't go that way – so Mr. Conductor
decides to take the family in a brand-new invention, the Dinosaur Train Submarine! On their journey, they meet a marine reptile called Otto Ophthalmosaurus, who guides the submarine deeper than it’s ever been, and even helps them find their way out of a sea cave.
“Shoshana Shonisaurus”
The Pteranodon family goes under the sea again to ride the Dinosaur Train Submarine
– this time they go to meet Shoshana Shonisaurus, an enormous marine
reptile that’s something between a dolphin and a whale. Since Shoshana
loves to dive very deep, Shiny has a problem with following her to the
bottom of the sea. Shoshana kindly helps Shiny get over her fear of
diving deep.
“Maisie Mosasaurus”
The Pteranodon family goes back underwater in the Dinosaur Train Submarine
and meets Maisie and Marvin Mosasaurus, a daughter and father who are
huge, fast-swimming lizards with flippers. Maisie and Shiny bond when
they discover neither likes to go deep in the water. The Pteranodons and
Mosasaurus have a great time near the ocean’s surface, each family
showing the other how they hunt and catch fish to eat.
“A Sea Turtle Tale”
The
Pteranodon family is on the beach watching small eggs hatch and baby
Archelon turtles emerge and start to swim away. The family and Mr.
Conductor get into the Dinosaur Train Submarine
and follow the baby Archelons, who discover their own facts of nature –
that their mother doesn’t stay with them after they’re born and that
they will grow up to be giant-sized sea turtles.
My boys and I love Dinosaur Train! My little boy saw the sea turtles on the front on the case and wanted to watch it right away. We loved watching our favorite dinosaurs in a submarine, a fish shaped submarine that is! As usual we get to learn new facts. On one of the episodes it mentions a giant squid. This caught my attention because my husband says that no one has ever saw a giant squid underwater before. It made me wonder if there were giant squids back in the dinosaur days.
You can view these full episodes and clips from “Submarine Adventure” on the PBS
KIDS Video Player at PBSKIDS.org/video and on the free PBS KIDS Video App today! If you are like me and prefer to see it right on the tv, you can also order the DVD now on shopPBS.org.
