Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs is a series of children's books written and drawn by Ian Whybrow and Adrian Reynolds. The series is about a 5-year-old boy named Harry, who has a bucket full of dinosaurs. In the books the dinosaurs talk to Harry but seem to be toys to the other characters. The other main characters are Mom, Nana, Harry's best friend Charlie and Harry's sister Sam.
It was later adapted into a 104-episode animated television series of the same name, which premiered on Teletoon in Canada on March 28, 2005 and ended on August 8, 2005. The show is also broadcast in Asia, Australia, Latin America, and several European countries. In the TV series Harry plays with the dinosaurs by jumping into the bucket, which transports him to another world, called DinoWorld. Although the dinosaurs are toy-sized in the real world, within DinoWorld they become dinosaur-sized, while Harry retains his actual size. The TV episodes are available on DVD in two volumes.
Recently, it was announced that the show would have a series of apps for the iOS and Android platform and will include some interactive elements.
In the US, Cartoon Network aired the series as part of its short lived Tickle-U block. Reruns of the series began airing on Qubo on June 30, 2012.
Episode titles for season 1 are taken directly from the episodes. Episode titles for season 2 are taken from the official Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs website. There are a number of differences between the actual titles and the titles as listed on the website. It is also interesting to note all the episodes are the first words spoken in the episode itself, this is a prime example of title dropping.
In true Western style, Sheriff Harry and his Deputy Dinos are on a mission to rescue his toy and all other missing duckies from the clutches of the elusive Ducky Rustler – AKA 'The Tickler Kid'. After Harry and the Dinos finally locate and set their kidnapped friends free, all they need to do is confront The Tickler Kid and reveal his true identity before it's time to head home for that bath.
After jumping through the bucket, Harry and the gang discover an Ancient Greek rowing ship with Medea as the figurehead. By a stroke of luck, she has a whole chest full of quests for them to choose from, including one to find 'the most amazing necklace ever' - what could be better for Mom's birthday?! Medea invites them all aboard and they set off on a treasure hunt to follow the clues that will lead them to their precious necklace. But with rivers and lakes to cross and a dancing giant cat to help en route, it isn't going to be easy!
