Dino-Mite Birthday is a 2007 direct-to-video Birthday themed Barney Home Video clip show that was released on DVD on September 11, 2007. It features scenes from the eighth-tenth seasons of Barney & Friends. Written and directed by Fred Holmes, this is the only Barney Home Video to have new content written and directed by the same person. The video was meant to kickoff the twentieth anniversary of Barney,[1] though not directly being a video to commemorate the anniversary, as that would later be saved for The Best of Barney.

    This video marked:
  • It was revealed that Barney's favorite cake is pistachio.
    • Coincidentally, the season eleven premiere episode "Pistachio" mainly focuses on Barney's addiction to pistachios and how he can't stop eating them until learning a valuable lesson from his friends.
  • Two photos from the shooting for the episode "That's What a Mommy Is", can be seen in Ryan's scrapbook, which indicates that this video takes place after that episode was produced.
  • Reused stock footage of Baby Bop dancing in a ballet studio amongst other children from Come on Over to Barney's House is used for this video.
  • Barney Doll at the Beginning of Dino-Mite Party
