What's the Story?
In BLIPPI'S BIG DINO ADVENTURE, Blippi (Clayton Grimm) and Meekah (Cashaé Monya) are visiting the T-Rex ranch when they cross paths with Park Rather Asher, who needs their help recovering some missing dinosaur eggs. The duo have to race the clock and locate and return all of the eggs before they hatch. Guided by a trusty map, they set out on their quest, finding eggs in the most unusual places, and learning a lot during the journey. For example, they learn about the types of dinosaurs and what kinds of food they eat. Will Blippi and Meekah be able to make it past their obstacles and return the eggs in time? Blippi and Meekah lead kid viewers through their adventures and lessons using their familiar energy to share knowledge and have fun along the way.

This hour-long special is an engaging blend of fun and learning, characteristic of the YouTube sensation Blippi. While his and Meekah's (Cashaé Monya) personalities might be somewhat overwhelming for adult audiences, preschoolers find their boundless energy infectious.

Throughout the movie, the duo's charismatic energy keeps young viewers engaged as they explore unusual places in search of these eggs, all while learning about different types of dinosaurs and their diets. Blippi excels at explaining concepts in a way that resonates with young minds, nurturing their natural curiosity.
