To celebrate and promote Nick Jr. UK and Ireland airing all-new episodes of "PAW Patrol" and "Dinosaur Train" in March 2014, Nickelodeon UK has unveiled Nick Jr. UK's brand-new "Jurassic Bark" promo/trailer, which pays homage to the classic movie "Jurassic Park".
The advert brings the two popular preschool shows together and sees characters from the worlds of "Dinosaur Train" and "Paw Patrol" playing together.
Nick Junior UK's "Jurassic Bark" advert also features a Richard Attenborough-style narrator and the classic theme tune from "Jurassic Park", and recreates some iconic moments from the film.
"We're passionate about producing innovative content in-house and our creative team has revived a classic to create a concept which fuses two very different shows together," said Alison Bakunowich, Vice President (VP), creative, marketing and communications of Nickelodeon UK and Ireland.
"We know that our pre-school audience aren't and shouldn't be familiar with the film but parents watch the channel as well and our playful nod to Jurassic Park was created with them in mind."
This marks the second time Nickelodeon UK's preschool channel has payed homage to a popular film or TV show, following on from the channels "Game of Thrones" tribute in October 2013 to promote Nick Jr. UK premiering brand-new episodes of "Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom". The promo paid tribute to HBO's "Game of Thrones", a American fantasy drama television series which airs on Sky Atlantic and Sky1 in the UK, by utilising both music and a filming manner that tips its hat to the HBO fantasy epic's opening titles. In the trail, viewers are taken to some of the various locations around the enchanted magical kingdom - The Elf Windmill, The Little Castle, The Great Elf Tree, The Marigold Castle, Gaston's Cave, and The Meadow - to visit and meet the various fairies, elves and insects who inhabit the land.
Go on a Jurassic Bark-sized adventure with brand-new episodes of "PAW Patrol" and "Dinosaur Train", daily at 4:00pm (repeated at 5:00pm on Nick Jr.+1) from Monday 10th March 2014, only on Nick Jr.!
The 30-second promo spot can be seen on air starting this week on Nick Jr. UK and can be watched in full in the online streaming video clip below:
