Dino Fino – The creation of a new global children's world
We are building a global children's IP.
We are not just a publishing house.
Dino Fino is an independent German content studio that develops original children's intellectual property (IP) – designed for books, audiobooks, animation, games, streaming, licensing, merchandising and much more.
Instead of individual, independent titles, Dino Fino allows children to grow up with the same recurring characters throughout different phases of their childhood – from sensitive stories for the youngest to exciting and humorous adventures for older children.
The entire universe is based on the experiences of two dinosaur siblings and their best friends, as well as a constantly growing number of recurring characters who continually enrich the world of Dino Fino.
Our goal is not to sell more books.
Our goal is to create characters, worlds and stories for the grand global stage that will accompany children for many years to come.
The Dino-Fino universe today
Our dinosaur universe currently includes:
3 interconnected children's book series for children aged 2 to 11 years
20 titles released, further releases are in preparation
More than 70 recurring characters with their own biographies
15 audiobooks with individual voices, music and sound design
Original songs and music videos
Animated story content
Board game and gaming concepts
Educational materials for kindergartens and primary schools
Editions in multiple languages
A growing universe of locations, cultures, and recurring plot elements
A pointedly developed historical background with its own traditions and rituals.
More than 1,000 documented story, content, and franchise ideas for future development
At the heart of the project is a shared world that children can discover over many years through different age groups, characters, and media formats.
Our mission
Children today no longer experience stories exclusively through books.
The future belongs to character-driven universes that seamlessly combine print, audio, animation, streaming, games, licensing, and merchandising – and will soon merge into entirely new media formats unknown today. We're working on that, too.
The world's most successful children's brands are no longer individual products. They are living, breathing ecosystems.
We are convinced that the next generation of global children's brands will not be created through individual products, but through professionally designed and artfully integrated story universes.
And we are convinced that our dinosaurs can win the hearts of children – and their parents – all over the world.
Children grow up.
Great characters grow with them.
Most children's brands appeal to only one age group. Dino Fino allows children to grow up with the same characters and in the same story world across different developmental stages.
