Dinotrux is an American computer-animated television series. It is based on Chris Gall's illustrated children's book series, which features a fictional prehistoric world inhabited by hybrid characters that are part dinosaur and part mechanical construction vehicle.[3] The series debuted on August 14, 2015 on Netflix,[1] and it will span over three seasons.[3]
DreamWorks Animation first optioned rights to Dinotrux in March 2009, a month before the first book was published, with an intention to develop a computer-animated film.[4]
