Halloween Costume Idea For Kids Who Love Soccer
Julia tags along after her brother Ernie and his best friend, and the three of them end up in the age of the dinosaurs. The red and white striped jersey is the part that matters. Almost nobody will know her, since the animated movie opened in South Korea in 2012 (Wikipedia) and only reached the US years later under a different name.

People see the stripes first, so they have to run up and down and stay red and white. Swap in a plain red shirt and she turns into a kid in sports clothes. A wig that is too yellow or too long pushes her toward a generic blonde girl with no movie behind her. Even when everything is right, most guests will guess soccer player, so have one sentence ready.
Julia follows Ernie and his best friend to a museum and sets off the alarm just by tagging along. Later she tries to call her mom from the friend's house, and that is how soda ends up on the time machine. She is the little sister who makes everything harder.
Cold night fix
Short sleeves, shorts and a thin wig are not much for late October. Put white leggings and a long-sleeve white shirt under the outfit, and a jacket on top until the photos are done.
Bring a dinosaur
A small toy dinosaur turns soccer player into Julia from Dino Time. Any dinosaur works, and it gives your kid something to hold when someone asks what the costume is.
Group Idea
Might work, but only for people who have seen the movie. Ernie is her brother and Dodger is the dinosaur they meet, so the three of them tell the story together. The hard part is Dodger, since nobody sells that costume, and one plush toy may be the only option.
Most of this is already in a kid's closet. The jersey and the wig are the two things worth buying.
She is the little sister who follows everybody around. A kid who tags along all night is already in character.
Start with a red and white striped soccer jersey, with the stripes running up and down. Add black Bermuda shorts, light blue striped knee socks and soccer cleats, then a short blonde bob wig. A soccer ball and a small toy dinosaur help people connect the outfit to the movie.
It is a very niche pick. The film reached the US in 2015 under another title, so most people at a party will see a soccer kid and nothing else. It works for a kid who loves the movie, or when you want an easy sporty outfit that you can explain in one line.
Dino Time is the original title. In the US it was released as Back to the Jurassic, and the limited release planned for December 7, 2012 was pulled at the last minute. It finally opened in the US on June 2, 2015.
Tara Strong voices Julia, who is listed as Julia 'Jules' Fitzpatrick.
It was released on November 30, 2012 in South Korea. The film was directed by Choi Yoon-suk and John Kafka and produced by CJ Entertainment.
No. The jersey and the wig do the work. The ball is for photos and for kids who want something to hold, so skip it if yours will kick it across the party.
The socks are listed for ages 6 to 10 and the cleats for little and big kids. The ball is a mini size, the wig is made for kids, and the jersey comes as a kit in numbered kids sizes, so check the size chart before you order.
