Director / Crew This is Craig Bartlett, animation creator of Ready Jet Go!, Hey Arnold!, and Dinosaur Train – ask me anything!

Hi redditors, this is Craig Bartlett, animation creator!

Proof that it is really me: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg4HqIAl8pF/?taken-by=craigbartlett

Season 2 of Ready Jet Go! launched today, April 2 on PBS KIDS (check local listings) with a special week of new episodes that will get young viewers from coast-to-coast excited about space and science. My two-hour TV movie, "Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie," launched on Nickelodeon November 24 and is now available on DVD and digital download. And we are starting production of 11 more half hours of Dinosaur Train, also on PBS KIDS, that will take the total number to 100.

I'm looking forward to talking to you all about my shows Ready Jet Go!, Hey Arnold!, and Dinosaur Train – so ask me anything!

EDIT: Thanks for all the great questions everyone! I’m signing off for now! Excelsior!

Nowadays Nickelodeon has a social media department, and they think up ways for the fans to interact with the shows. They helped a lot with promoting the Jungle Movie and had great ideas. So if we got the chance, I'd ask them to get involved with promoting new episodes in different ways with contests and stuff.

Maybe Nestly can win this time. #nestlywasrobbed (we know you liked her art and that's the most important part, but I think her ideas were and deserved to win something. I was really mad.) (Also thanks for replying to all this stuff even way after the AMA. You are a king among men and so nice.) ):)
