Disney Junior Signs Up for Boat Rocker Studios’ Dino Ranch

Boat Rocker Studios’ new animated preschool series Dino Ranch has been picked up by Disney Junior in the U.S.

The 52×11-minute CG animated preschool series was created by Matt Fernandes of Industrial Brothers and will be produced by Industrial Brothers and Boat Rocker Studios. Dino Ranch is currently in preproduction and slated to premiere in the U.S. on Disney Junior in 2021, followed by an international rollout.

Dino Ranch follows the action-packed adventures of the Cassidy family as they tackle life in a fantastical, “pre-westoric” setting where dinosaurs still roam. As the young ranchers learn the ropes, they discover the thrill of ranch life whilst navigating the great outdoors through unpredictable challenges.

Boat Rocker Studios will manage the global distribution, brand and licensing of Dino Ranch.

Jon Rutherford, managing director and president of rights for Boat Rocker Studios, said: “We are delighted to be working with Disney on Dino Ranch as they are the perfect platform to help us launch this entertaining new show in the U.S. Matt’s unique vision of combining cowboys/cowgirls and dinosaurs has huge global appeal, and we look forward to building Dino Ranch into a global franchise!”
