‘Dino Ranch’, a 52 x 11’ 3D animation created by Matt Fernandes of Industrial Brothers and produced by Industrial Brothers and Boat Rocker Studios, 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.
The thrill-a-minute series, packed with comedic, mischievous fun, introduces preschoolers to problem solving, the foundations of forging life-long friendships, strengthening family and community bonds.
