I can't invest right now, however, I am a very good and accomplished voice and cartoon voice artist. Send me your email and I'll send you my animation reel. When you get funding, you might need my voices! Steven.alangreen@gmail.com
Wow! Thank you everyone...we are steadily moving forward:) We can't tell you how much we appreciate all the support and excitement:-)
67 hours left to go!!!!! We would love and so much appreciate it if you would continue to spread the word and send folks up here to help support this unique project.
Go Dinos!
Thanks so very much,
Darren and Tina
I appreciate that you are trying to create something wonderful for children of all ages. I'm happy to support something my nephew can watch.

What a great opportunity to help fund quality programing. Go Dino's!!!
Thank you so much all you Dino supporters!

Please keep spreading the word..we are getting closer each day:-)
My 4yr old son loves Dino anything! He watches any number of dino kids shows but I can't tell you how excited I am for him to see DinosaurUs ExploreUs!! With the quality of work I’ve seen from you, I am certain this production will be nothing short of spectacular (with a wonderful, educational twist)! I will enjoy watching your most certain success over the next few months!
Hello Everyone... Thank you for all the wonderful comments and support. Keep your fingers crossed that we can get this baby moving this week. Yes, we have a mountain to climb, (a very very big mountain) but we are the little train that could. :-)
We are really excited about Dino and are so glad to be part of the opportunity. The concept of providing quality television programming for the wee ones is something that is near and dear to our hearts. As is the Dino program and its creators :) Love to you both!
I LOVE DINO!! What an incredible opportunity! Let's see, if networks had a surefire way of seeing if a show is going to be a success... without putting a dime into it..... they would be lined up!!
If there was a way of be the person who decides WHAT the programming was going to be.... because of a $5 pledge?!?.... they would be lined up!! Welcome to that line.
Dino is going to change the way things are done... mark my text.
I am so excited about this project!!!! Oscar is my favorite!
The whole family watched it together. Kids loved it!!!! They wanted to see the next part? Lol! Told them it was coming soon! Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you everyone - for your support and excitement! We really appreciate it:)
Good luck Tina and Darren on your wonderful venture!
Karen and Dan Smet
This looks like a winner you guys!!! Best of luck to you and your team!!!
God Bless and Love you guys!! MaMa Sonj and James
With cute and lovable characters, good educational fun, and catchy music, what kid wouldn't want to see this?
This is such a great idea - showing kids how modern civilization came to be in a fun and catchy way. The theme song is hard to get out of your head once you listen to it. :) Good luck on your funding, we are very excited to be a part of it!!
One of the cutest things I've seen! I can't wait for this to be a full length show. Kids are going to have fun learning about what amazing things humans have accomplished all over the world and across time. Go Team Dino!
DinosaurUs ExploreUs is sure to be a huge success! Can't wait to see the final pilot. Go Dinos Go!
This sounds like an adorable, educational, and fun series all rolled into one. I'm very excited to be a part of the project, good luck on your funding!!
