Line #4 YMMV/DinosaurTrain


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The animation is vivid and colorful, [[ArtEvolution and it only gets better with each passing season]].
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme song is cheesy but incredibly catchy. Even people who don't care for the show will tell you that they like the theme song.
3	* CrossesTheLineTwice: The BlackComedy line about asteroids hitting the Earth is unexpected in a show aimed at young audiences, but still hilarious.
4	%%* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Neither of these examples explain why fans think this
5	%%** Many fans think that, due to his strange behavior, Don has autism or Downs syndrome.
6	%%** To a lesser extent, Shiny is headcanoned to have OCD.
7	* FoeYayShipping: There are many fans who ship Mr. Conductor with his rival, Thurston.
8	* FriendlyFandoms:
9	** Back when ''Series/DinoDan'' was on the air, there was plenty of fandom overlap between it and ''Dinosaur Train'', because of their focus on paleontology.
10	** With ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' and ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', because they all have the same creator.
11	* GeniusBonus:
12	** Dennis ''Deinocheirus'', the autistic dinosaur introduced in "Junior Conductors Academy", has huge hands that are bent in front of him. This evokes "raptor hands", which some autistic people actually do. Of course, Dennis isn't a raptor, as there are already velociraptors in the series, but the ''Deinocheirus'' is known for its prominent hands.
13	** While the name of Peng ''Protopteryx'' might look like a regular AlliterativeName honoring the fact that ''Protopteryx'' fossils were found in China, it also bares some resemblance to ''Pengornis'', a close relative of ''Protopteryx''.
14	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: '''Extremely''' famous in Russia, where it gets exclusive licensing deals and millions of views on [=YouTube=], rivaling that of English-language uploads.
15	* HilariousInHindsight:
16	** This series started in 2009, and has a ''Spinosaurus'' character named The Old ''Spinosaurus''. It was a fairly accurate reconstruction of the animal based on the science known at that time, but [[ScienceMarchesOn science marched on]] so hard for ''Spinosaurus'' in 2014 with the discovery of a more complete specimen which gives the name ''Old Spinosaurus'' a whole different meaning than originally intended.
17	** Laura the ''Giganotosaurus'' has spines along the back, an almost triangular-shaped head, and a greenish tint on the scales, all of which is a striking resemblance to the specimen from ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion'' released 13 years later. The prologue of the latter even shows one during the time of the dinosaurs roaming the Earth, which is when this series takes place.
18	* PeripheryDemographic: Among older paleogeeks, as well as fans of Creator/CraigBartlett's work.
19	* MemeticMutation: The asteroid episode is well remembered for this ''very'' dark line:
20	-->'''Buddy''': Asteroids hardly ever hit the Earth. I mean, what are the odds an asteroid would hit us?
21	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The beginning of the "Dinosaur Train Zeppelin" song sounds, appropriately enough, like "Stairway to Heaven" by [[Music/LedZeppelin Led]] '''[[Music/LedZeppelin Zeppelin]]'''.
22	* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: For dino-fans looking for an aversion for ArtisticLicensePaleontology, it is also quite entertaining and wholesome, with its entirely friendly, colorful cast and heartwarming family moments.
23	* ToyShip: The most common ones are Shiny/Gilbert, Buddy/Annie, Tiny/Petey, and Don/Lily.
24	* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The designs of the main kids have this effect on some, especially the EmptyEyes of Buddy and Don.
