Dinosaurs! a fun-filled trip back in time (1987)

  • 3 years ago
released under the Golden Book Video/Goldenvision banner, Dinosaurs! was designed as an educational film for young children new to the world of prehistoric life; the video slip sleeve describes the film with "Discover the real monsters who dominated the earth for millions of years!" The cartoon animation of the chalkboard is used to elaborate on attributes such as the extinction of the dinosaurs as well as their brain capacity, while the Vinton claymation illustrates, in a colorful and simplistic manner, the brutal lives of the many dinosaurs. The movie also introduces a music video for the song "Mesozoic Mind" by Charmer, featuring cartoon dinosaurs performing it.

with Fred Savage (The Wonder Years) as Philip!
