PBS at the TV Critics Press Tour | Bartlett/Henson interview

Craig Bartlett and Lisa Henson are interviewed by video blogger Zadi Diaz (www.epicfu.com) as part of PBS's coverage of the 2009 Television Critics Association Press Tour (Aug 1-2, 2009). Both were at the Press Tour on behalf of the new PBS KIDS series DINOSAUR TRAIN. Bartlett is the series creator and writer and Henson is the co-CEO, The Jim Henson Company. http://www.pbskids.org/dinosaurtrain/

PBS KIDS will debut an all-new CGI-animated series, DINOSAUR TRAIN, on Labor Day, September 7, 2009. The new series embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains while encouraging basic scientific thinking and skills as the audience learns about natural science, natural history and paleontology. The series will join other top-ranked PBS KIDS preschool series including The Jim Henson Companys series SID THE SCIENCE KID, which premiered in fall 2008. DINOSAUR TRAIN is seen through the eyes of Buddy, a preschool-aged Tyrannosaurus Rex. Buddy and his adoptive family of Pteranodons go for adventures on the Dinosaur Train to meet all kinds of dinosaurs in different eras and learn fascinating new facts about these incredible creatures.

And from listening to Craig Bartlett, Arnold's dad is really his voice wow. Some girl on Facebook said that Craig Bartlett met her and he said the best way to make the Jungle movie is do your own story of it. That is a ditry communist lie. He seems to be a great guy to meet.

@PinkFrosted Arnold and Helga I don't think will get together. But they'll thank each other for Helga helping Arnold find his parents. Here are going to be some cameos for my version of the Jungle Movie. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal the 3 best basketball players, Phil Jackson the greatest coach ever in all of sports and my fav Dancing With the Stars champions Drew Lachey, Emmitt Smith, Helio Castroneves, Donny Osmond, and HInes Ward. Arnold's Parents will reunite.
