- The new 'Dino Ranch' spin-off will see the Cassidy family 'trade their cowboy hats for explorer hats and head to the mysterious and exotic Dino Island', exploring a world filled with dinosaurs, giant insects, and prehistoric amphibians.
- The deal underlines the industry's shift away from global rights deals, as Warner Bros. Discovery has taken the Boat Rocker-produced series for a targeted EMEA release on Cartoonito, its preschool-focused network, after a 2026 launch.
