A prehistoric defense program is officially hitting the streaming world as the high-octane series “Armorsaurs” makes its highly anticipated debut on Disney+ today, Feb. 18.
A reimagining of the South Korean hit “Armored Saurus,” the series blends live-action performances with visual effects to tell a story of survival and mechanical dinosaurs.
The show follows five teenagers with a rare genetic marker that allows them to bond with dinosaur companions, from a T. rex to velociraptors, to defend Earth against an alien invasion led by the villainous Karter Klay, voiced by Michael Dorn.
While the series features massive scale, director David Feiss said the day-to-day energy on set was driven by the cast’s rapport.
“It was interesting to be working with these people who are so enthusiastic and who liked each other,” Feiss told On The Red Carpet. “It actually made the process of making this series almost effortless. They were so willing to learn and believe in their characters and that they actually had dinosaurs … it really was a thrill.”
The streaming launch is only the beginning for the brand. Producer Kevin Yi said the goal was to build a world that extends beyond the television screen.
“It’s so cool to be able to have a show, but more than a show, an entire franchise and a world kids can embody, and that’s really what we’re most excited for,” Yi said.
To coincide with the series, MGA Entertainment is releasing a new line of toys in March.
The line features a mix-and-match “Armor-Up” system, 3.75-inch pilots and dinosaurs from the show like Ajax and Cobalt. The toys will be available at Walmart, Target and Amazon.
“‘Armorsaurs’ toys share the same DNA as the ‘Armorsaurs’ TV show. They pair and bond with their teenage pilot heroes,” said Greg Mitchell, vice president of brand marketing at MGA Entertainment.
Avianna Mynhier, who portrays pilot Paloma Silva, said she hopes that connection resonates with the families watching at home.
“Stepping into people’s living rooms is a big responsibility; it’s a big honor,” Mynhier said. “I hope our show can live up to the intelligence of how smart kids are these days, and excite them and their parents alike.”
Jailen Bates, who stars as lead pilot Liam Roberts, agreed that joining the franchise felt like a milestone.
“It was very much this feeling of responsibility to kind of carry on this next generation of incredible superhero fighting against aliens,” Bates said. “It was incredibly surreal and the honor of my life so far.”
With a second season already confirmed and production underway, “Armorsaurs” is available to stream on Disney+ now.
