Barney shares first public message in 14 years. Here's what he said
Newsy
Everybody's favorite purple dinosaur shocked social media Wednesday with his first statement since his show ended in 2010.
An old, purple friend wanted to ensure you had a "great big hug and a kiss from me to you" this Valentine's Day.
Barney took to social media Wednesday to share his first "Stu-u-u-pendous!" message to the public since his show, PBS' "Barney and Friends" ended 14 years ago. However, this new message seemed a bit more directed at adults, rather than at the youngsters who would typically watch and listen to his words of wisdom.
"Hi friends; it's Barney. I haven't seen some of you in a long time, but I always make sure to check in on my friends," the purple-and-green dinosaur said in the video, posted to his Instagram and TikTok. "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."
"After a long day on the playground of life, I want you to know you are seen, you are special, you are loved," Barney continued. "Isn't it nice how some things are still true even when you're all grown up?"
