Disney+ launched in the US & Canada on November 12, 2019, and in many other countries across the globe in early 2020.
The new streaming service offers thousands of viewing options which include original content created exclusively for Disney+ along with some of the best library content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic.
Despite hours and hours worth of content to enjoy, there’s one show in particular that fans are craving to re-watch, “Dinosaurs.”
What Is “Dinosaurs” About?
“Dinosaurs” is an American-family sitcom television series that aired on ABC from April 26, 1991, through October 19, 1994, and reruns were shown on Disney Channel. The show, about a family of anthropomorphic dinosaurs (portrayed by puppets), was produced by Michael Jacobs Productions and Jim Henson Television in association with Walt Disney Television and distributed by Buena Vista International, Inc.
“Dinosaurs” is initially set in 60,000,003 BC in Pangaea. The show centers on the Sinclair family: Earl Sinclair (the father), Fran Sinclair (Phillips – the mother), their three children (son Robbie, daughter Charlene, and infant, Baby Sinclair), and Fran’s mother, Ethyl.
Earl’s job is to push over trees for the Wesayso Corporation with his friend and coworker Roy Hess, where they work under the supervision of their boss Bradley P. Richfield.
Is “Dinosaurs” Available on Disney Plus UK?
As it stands, “Dinosaurs” is now available in the US, Canada and a few other regions around the world. As of writing, Disney hasn’t announced if, or when, the TV show might be added to the service in the United Kingdom or Ireland.
Disney doesn’t typically share their plans on when a specific title will be added to the streaming service. New content is usually announced during the middle of the month for the following month. This gives us our best indication on what’s coming to Disney+ in the near future.
Update: Disney has announced that “Dinosaurs” will be coming to Disney+ in the UK and Ireland on Friday, April 09, 2021.
When Is “Dinosaurs” Coming To Disney Plus UK?
It was widely reported that “Dinosaurs” would be coming to Disney+ this fall. However, this report didn’t come directly from Disney and was actually made by Ryan Reynolds during the airing of ABC’s brand-new game show, “Don’t.”
The actual context of the announcement appeared to be a joke and the internet naturally ran with it. Once this “Don’t” episode was streaming on ABC’s website, the joke of “Dinosaur” streaming on Disney+ had been removed. We know that this wasn’t true as ‘Dinosaurs’ did arrive in some countries but in winter instead of fall.
It’s widely believed that ITV holds the rights to ‘Dinosaurs’ in the UK which is preventing Disney from adding the showing to Disney+ in the UK. When that contract expires, it’s likely that Disney will add the show, but when exactly that might be, is unknown.
Update: Disney has announced that “Dinosaurs” will be coming to Disney+ in the UK and Ireland on Friday, April 09, 2021.
How To Request “Dinosaurs”
Disney has made it very easy to request a movie or TV show to be added to the service. You’ll need to head over to Disney’s help center, Help.DisneyPlus.com, and click the ‘Give Feedback’ button. Full details.
How To Watch Dinosaurs
The show has been available on Hulu previously, but as it stands, it’s not currently available on any streaming services, although it can be purchased on Amazon US and Amazon UK.
Update: Disney has announced that “Dinosaurs” will be coming to Disney+ in the UK and Ireland on Friday, April 09, 2021.
I host a podcast about the show Dinosaurs called Sinclairity A Dinosaurs Tale, so it would be awesome if Disney does add the series to Plus soon. However, it’s also been funny to record a podcast about a show that isn’t available to stream on any platform.
