Barney is a Dinosaur from our Imagination is Getting a Reboot with New Movie and Animated Series

Barney is a Dinosaur from our Imagination is Getting a Reboot with New Movie and Animated Series. Our friendly purple and green T-rex who loves me and you, once filling our daily lives, will make a grand return with shows, merchandise, youtube presence and so much more.

“Barney’s message of love and kindness has stood the test of time,” said Josh Silverman, Chief Franchise Officer and Global Head of Consumer Products at Mattel, in a statement. “We will tap into the nostalgia of the generations who grew up with Barney, now parents themselves, and introduce the iconic purple dinosaur to a new generation of kids and families around the world across content, products, and experiences.”

Fred Soulie, SVP and General Manager of Mattel Television, adds that with a new “modern take” of the purple dinosaur the creators hope “to inspire the next generation to listen, care, and dream big. We think that parents, many of whom will fondly remember the original Barney from their own childhoods, will love the show, too.”

The relaunch will kick off with a reimagined animated series, which is set to debut globally in 2024. Produced by Corus Entertainment’s Nelvana, the show promises to reintroduce the famously friendly purple dinosaur to a new generation of preschool kids with lessons on “love, community, and encouragement” told through music-filled adventures.
