What do you get when you cross the world’s most famous singing preschool dinosaur with the birth of the internet? A rabid mob of men out for purple blood. Director Tommy Avallone takes us inside his astonishing new documentary, “I Love You, You Hate Me,” (now streaming on PEACOCK), about the creation and meteoric rise of Barney the dinosaur and the vitriolic backlash by grownups who just couldn’t handle that much genuine goodness. Along the way, tragedy besets the family of the show’s creators, who were just trying to produce something wholesome and kind for a generation of American children to enjoy.
