Disney Junior is already stacking its 2019 lineup with a new show airing on Jan. 18, and it's going to be DINO-mite! Gigantosaurus, a CGI animated dinosaur adventure series for preschoolers, is about four young dinosaurs — Rocky, Bill, Tiny, and Mazu — who "explore a prehistoric world of adventure where the most exciting mystery of all is Gigantosaurus, the biggest and fiercest dinosaur anyone has ever seen!"

The hilarious show, which will definitely channel your child's inner dino (and give '90s kids some serious The Land Before Time vibes), features an adorable and catchy theme song, co-created by the LA-based children's band, The BeatBuds.

"As kids, the Cretaceous world always captivated our imaginations. As adults, and as songwriters in the children's genre, we had coincidentally previously explored various musical ideas to express our lifelong interest in this colorful and awe-inspiring time period," Matty of The BeatBuds told POPSUGAR. "When we were presented with the opportunity to write a theme song for a new Disney dinosaur series, we looked at each other, smiled, and started stomping our feet to our own dino beat! After that, the song flowed out like volcanic lava!" Jonny, the other half of the musical duo, added that he was inspired to "create a song that really thumps for the kids!"

Check out a clip from the new show above, get a sneak peek at the theme song written by The BeatBuds ahead, and tune into the first episode of Gigantosaurus on Jan. 18 at 9 a.m. local time!
