About this listen

Why settle for a pony or a puppy for Christmas when you could have a dinosaur? A rollicking adventure from singer-songwriter and YouTuber Tom Fletcher!

Once upon a time - long, long ago, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth - an egg rolled away from its mother and landed in the ocean, where it froze solid and stayed peacefully for thousands of years. Then one day, Santa and his elves discover the frozen egg, and Santa sits on it to see if it will hatch. But he can't guess what's inside: a dinosaur!

Meanwhile, a young boy named William Trundle has only ever wished for one thing for Christmas: a dinosaur! So when Santa accidentally gives William the real Christmasaurus instead of a stuffed replica, it's the best Christmas ever! Until an evil man known as the Hunter decides a dinosaur will be the perfect addition to his collection.

A wild and hilarious adventure ensues in this instant Christmas classic!

A delightful Christmas story!

It’s a cute story with a redemption arc for the bully. Some of the bullying is over the top but from a kids perspective it gets the point across nicely. It’s great by itself, but there is a sequel if you want more :)

Takes forever to get going—the kid and the dinosaur don’t meet until halfway through. The elves (who always speak/sing in rhyme) are pretty annoying. And the wheelchair representation is really bad. It does that annoying thing of an hour in saying, surprise! He’s in a wheelchair. But don’t worry, he’s a super normal kid (which we know because it keeps saying so). Then there’s a bunch of really over the top bullying in ways that don’t feel believable and also are super dangerous. Mixed with straight up inaccuracies: Wheelchair wheels don’t go flat if you stick a pin in them (and that would be very serious if it did—he wouldn’t be able to go anywhere! The teacher would presumably notice.) And It’s actually pretty hard to roll over someone’s foot.

Clearly doesn’t use a wheelchair
