Director: Simone Giampaolo
A rowdy, prehistoric household takes center stage in Bad Dinosaurs, an animated comedy that turns a Tyrannosaurus family's misadventures into slapstick fun for kids.
What is Bad Dinosaurs about?
The show centers on a mischievous T. rex family navigating a bright, chaotic prehistoric landscape full of oddball neighbors and equally silly dinosaurs. Rather than leaning on danger or menace, the series treats its Cretaceous setting as a playground for physical comedy: chases, pratfalls, and misunderstandings drive most episodes, with the family's antics bouncing off a wider cast of dino personalities who are just as prone to trouble. Sibling rivalry, parental exasperation, and the everyday chaos of a busy household get filtered through a prehistoric lens, so familiar family dynamics show up wrapped in roars, tail-swipes, and volcanic backdrops. Episodes stay short and self-contained, built around quick, punchy set pieces rather than an ongoing storyline, which keeps the show easy to jump into at any point.
Cast & crew
The voice cast includes Talullah Veitch, Adam Diggle, Josie Long, Luisa Guerreiro, Darren Strange, Ruth Bratt, Dan March, and Nathaniel Tapley, bringing the family and its prehistoric neighbors to life across the series.
Context & significance
Directed by Simone Giampaolo, Bad Dinosaurs is a UK-Spain co-production aimed squarely at younger viewers, with episodes running about twenty-two minutes. The show's visual style favors exaggerated expressions and bold color to sell its slapstick gags, and its IMDb rating of 6.7 reflects a solid reception among the family-comedy crowd it targets. The animation leans into broad, rubbery movement rather than realism, which suits the constant pratfalls and near-misses that drive each episode's central joke, and the pacing keeps gags coming quickly enough that younger viewers rarely have time to lose interest between bits.
