Barney

Barney is the main character of the children’s television series “Barney & Friends”. He is a six to seven-foot tall purple Tyrannosaurus Rex with a green tummy and green spots on his back and his tail, and yellow toes. Barney comes to life through a child’s imagination, springing up from a doll to full size. In turn, Barney opens children’s eyes to the joys of learning and discovery, to the wonders of make-believe, and to the beauty of unconditional love. He is best known for his silly and optimistic attitude. His birthplace is Dallas, Texas, however, he lives and resides in one’s imagination. His place of residence would later be expanded in the video “Come on Over to Barney’s House”. Although Barney comes to life through a child’s imagination, he isn’t imaginary. Once Barney springs to life from imagination, any and everyone can see him and no one else needs to use their imagination to see or interact with him in his large form.
