Boat Rocker’s new pre-school show follows the Cassidy family as they tackle life in a setting where dinosaurs still roam.
Boat Rocker Studios, a division of global media company Boat Rocker Media, has announced that leading US toy company Jazwares has signed as the global master toy partner for its forthcoming pre-school animation Dino Ranch. The worldwide deal grants Jazwares the rights to design and produce a wide range of engaging and inventive toys across a variety of categories including figures, plush, play sets, role-play, vehicles and musical instruments.
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 Rancheroos learn the ropes, they discover the thrill of ranch life whilst navigating the great outdoors through unpredictable challenges.
Targeted at 2 to 5 year-olds, the series introduces kids to problem solving, the foundations of forging life-long friendships, strengthening family and community bonds, and taking care of animals. The 52 x 11’ series animated pre-school 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 pre-production and set to premiere on Disney Junior US in 2021.
