Barney the Dinosaur shocks fans with first message since 2010 — here’s what he said
Barney sent waves across social media on Wednesday after everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur took to Instagram for the first time in 10 years to spread the love on Valentine’s Day.“Hi friends,” the purple dinosaur says while an instrumental version of the “I Love You” song plays in the background. “I haven’t seen some of you in a long time, but I always make sure to check in on my friends.” “And it seems like maybe we could all use a little reminder right now, a reminder of the super-dee-duper ability we all have to love one another and how important it is to show love towards yourself too,” Barney continues.“After a long day on the playground of life, I want you to know you are seen, you are special, you are loved,” implores the dinosaur.Barney, whose PBS show “Barney and Friends” aired from 1992 to 2010, further states that it must be nice that “some things are still true, even when you’re all grown up.”“Well, friends, it’s been stupendous to see you all, and I have a feeling I’ll be seeing you again soon,” concludes Barney, hinting at the franchise reboot, which is supposedly set to happen this year.
