Dinotrux is an American computer-animated web 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] while season 2 premiered on March 11, 2016,[4] and season 3 is scheduled to premiere October 7, 2016[5]

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.[6]
