The movie was released after the end of the TV series. Why not close out with upping the production budget. Added a wick.

* FinaleMovie: Serves as the GrandFinale for the ''Dinosaur Train'' TV series. Unlike previous specials, this one ups the ante in [[FinaleProductionUpgrade production and flair]] by being a BigDamnMovie instead of a 60 minute special.

''Dinosaur Train: Adventure Island'' is a 2021 feature film based on the Creator/PBSKids series ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'' by Creator/CraigBartlett. It is the longest ''Dinosaur Train'' movie to date, at 85 minutes, and the first proper movie, all of the show's other specials are just episodes stitched together to fit an hour-long runtime.
The Pteranodon family takes the Dinosaur Train to Adventure Island, a new theme park on a volcanic island! The Conductor's archrival Thurston is in charge: he proudly shows off the park's amazing robot dinosaurs! When an earthquake causes the pressure to get too high, the malfunctioning robots go rogue. It's up to Buddy and his siblings to navigate across the island and reunite with their parents.
The movie is a co-production between Creator/UniversalStudios and The Jim Henson Company. All of the original voice cast reprise their roles. It premiered on television on April 12, 2021.

!!''Dinosaur Train: Adventure Island'' contains examples of:
* AdultFear: Since the kids and their parents went on different rides prior to the earthquake, they are separated.
* AIIsACrapshoot: The robot dinosaurs go rogue thanks to an earthquake at the amusement park. They go against their programming and don't behave as their species should. For example, the mastodonsaurus robot tries to swim on land.
* AmusementPark: Adventure Island is a theme park filled with robotic dinosaurs.
* AnachronismStew: The biggest example in the franchise. Thurston creates robots for his theme park, ''in the age of dinosaurs''.
* AnimalMecha: Adventure Island's main feature is robotic dinosaurs that one can ride on, so that anyone can be any dinosaur.
* AnimatedMusical: In true ''Dinosaur Train'' fashion, the movie is a musical, containing several original songs performed by the characters.
* AnimationBump: Since the film has a higher budget, the colors are brighter and more vivid, and more detail is put on the characters.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Tricia shows Thurston that the robots are malfunctioning, he doesn't bat an eye at the flyers trying to swim or the swimmers trying to fly, but what puts him over the edge is a carnivore trying to eat kale salad.
* BadVibrations: When the first signs of the earthquake appear, it is demonstrated using the fake fireflies in the slow moonlight ride, and then everything else. Also, when the earthquake is about to affect the kids, who are on a waterfall ride, a small ripple is shown in the water first before everything else happens.
* DarkReprise: After Thurston disses the Dinosaur Train due to it being 'outdated', Mr. Conductor sings a sad reprise of "All Aboard the Dinosaur Train" as he heads back home on the train.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: At the start of the film, Buddy asks Thurston what would happen if an earthquake were to occur on Adventure Island. Thurston brushes off the idea. Sure enough, an earthquake does happen.
* FreeRangeChildren: The kids really want to go on the rides by themselves. Their parents let them after proving that they're mature enough.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Thurston's ego is boosted up to 11 in this movie. He is extremely boastful about his theme park, and acts like only he did everything.
* SandInMyEyes: After the kids leave, Mr. Pteranodon expresses pride at them growing up, then says he has something in his eye.
* TemptingFate: When Tricia Troodon expresses concern to Thurston about the steam pressure getting too high due to the earthquakes, Thurston brushes it off, claiming that the robots won't malfunction. Immediately after that, we get a view of the pipes under the park leaking steam, causing the robots to malfunction indeed.
