Barney the Dinosaur is a two-hundred-million-year-old (two dinosaur years), six-foot tall, purple Tyrannosaurus Rex with a green tummy in stuffed animal likeness, who comes to life through a child's imagination. He's always positive, but tends to a bit sensitive, though he's never really shown it. His theme song is "Barney Is a Dinosaur," which is sung to the tune of "Yankee Doodle". Barney often quotes things as being "Super dee-duper". Episodes frequently end with the song "I Love You", sung to the tune of "This Old Man", which happens to be one of Barney's favorite songs. Despite being a carnivorous type dinosaur, Barney likes many different foods such as fruits and vegetables, but his main favorite is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He also loves marching bands and parades. His three young dino friends are BJ, Baby Bop, and Riff.
Relation with the CMC and the Skarloey engines
Barney is also a close friend to the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Skarloey engines, with Barney by their side. They are always ready for his advice. And when the CMC feel down when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon insult them, Barney is there to make them feel better.
