Jurassic Limericks: Rhyme Time with Dinosaurs
Do you have a dinosaur mad child? Then, show them these. You won’t see Rhymesaurus or Limerickodon or even a
Musephyll in this collection of short poems… Even so, Jurassic Limericks was
probably inevitable at some point in time (lots of people are probably wondering why they didn't think of it, now). No, these are the real deal. There's Triceratops, Pteradactyl, Troodon and others, all with their own limerick. Founded several years ago as a
theatre and media company, CarryTale is now stepping into the spotlight with
this exciting new venture, bringing to life playful dinosaur-inspired limericks
through vibrant 15-second animated shorts. With creativity rooted in family fun
and poetic whimsy, this new series invites viewers young and old to embark on a
joyful journey where dinosaurs and poetry collide.
Jurassic Limericks originated from a playful game of
creating spontaneous limericks and poems inspired by dinosaurs, enjoyed with founder
Jeremy Baker’s children. These imaginative verses were then accompanied by
original dinosaur-themed drawings. Now, these creations have been transformed
into 15-second animated shorts. If you are going to do things as a family, you might as well go the whole hog...
And, as I also went to university with Jeremy, a shameless plug to
celebrate the launch of CarryTale Studio’s new YouTube channel is in order. A
new Jurassic Limerick video will be released each day over the course of a
week. Fans and young dinosaur enthusiasts alike are invited to enjoy and share
these delightful animated shorts. Watch
them below and let us know which is your favourite.
...And there's more!
