  • I remember watching this over and over as a kid! So glad to find it here.

  • brilliant video

  • interesting video and very informative

  • 3:53 When I was little, I thought the T-rex had a rubber chicken in his mouth, not another dinosaur XD

  • Man, why don't they make stuff like this anymore?

  • @Jonstern1983

    AngryLizard is right, the narrator, being a 5 year old child, is annoying.

    Also this entire thing is 87% incorrect.

    Heck, the only way they could make it more incorrect is if they said, "we found velociraptor claw and teeth marks on tyranno' bones. This must be 'cuz, since they were in the same period, and velociraptor is 6-8 feet tall, the velociraptors must hav had large packs, up to 50 members!!"

    Velociraptor lived during the triassic and was 3-3.5 feet tall. --_--

  • @KaxakaDarktree the kid is not as annoying as his entire friggen class,,,sheesh for a children's video the claymation rex killing a flying reptile was pretty violent

  • @darkservantofheaven

    Correct, but so was I. We ar both correct.

    The problem with this vid' has been stated and a correct, or, rather, more correct version should be created to educate children on dinosaur facts so they don't hav to get their information from outdated "made between 10 and 30 years ago" books and movies.

    I was purposefully being inaccurate about the years (the lack of common sense leads me to hav to explain these self explanatory things)

  • that narrater is annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ....and Phillip grew up to work at INGEN, create Jurassic Park, and then was eaten by Jeff Goldblum.

  • WOW i haven't seen that ever since i was a kidd back in the early 80s talk about a time trip back in time :o)

  • Thanks for posting this.

  • why are plant eaters eating meat

  • HAHAHAH! apparently tyrannosaurus was a homicidal maniac who killed for sport lol

  • 4:41 HARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! NOM NOM NOM!!! xD!!

  • Use your inside voice, Philip. >_>

  • When I was a kid I knew some parts were inaccurate. I also didn't care. This movie was pure entertainment.

  • the narrator sounds like milhouse.

  • Been waiting 200mya for PREHISTORIC CHANNEL. Its finally launching. The site is basic right now though.

  • wow i wantched this tape till the damn thing broke when i was a kid,now im making a dvd of it for my kids

  • dude 2:45 that thing sounds like a monkey

  • lol the narrator is rambling so much

  • Too bad dinosaurs where not around during the Jurassic period...

  • @Ductapemyheart

    YES THEY WERE! wow your an idiot!

  • @Fisher1031 The majority of them weren't. No need to insult. Couldn't have said it much nicer then that you soulless asshole.

  • C'mon! Triceratops did NOT live in the same time as Supersaurus or Brachiosaurus! Those sauropods live during the Jurassic while Triceratops lived in the Late Cretaceous before the extinction! Come on! You're making some of us confused!

  • What are those little blue dinosaurs running from the T-Rex at 3:23 and 4:11? I think they're Dryosaurus but I'm not too sure.

  • "taller than the man who found it"

    supersaurus was discovered by a woman. this "educational" video is full of huge innacuracies and plain falsehoods :S

  • There were some really simple shots in this really that mainly seem to revolve around dolls or little figures, and a low budget, but man this was awesome for me as a kid and still now. Stuff like that T-Rex used to both exhilirate and terrify me. I couldn't get enough about dinosaurs though. Books, movies, toys, etc. Thanks for bringing me back a taste of my childhood!

  • wow, brings back memories, I remember renting this on video from the library at least 15 - 20 years ago.

  • This claymation sequence (well, parts of it) was also featured in the kids' documentary "More Dinosaurs", which was hosted by Gary Owens and Eric Boardman in the late 1980s. The science of the film is a little outdated, but "More Dinosaurs" was one of my favorite films when I was a kid. I'm thrilled to see this here. Thanks!

  • i think it's funny that people are so concerned that they showed a "triceratops in the Jurassic period." If you're going to get that into facts then why don't you complain that they put a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the Jurassic period, too?

    Both Triceratops and T-Rex lived during the last three million years of the Cretaceous Period. But seriously? OMG. This is TOTALLY the first time the movie industry has ever tampered with facts! :P

    Anyway, thanks for posting this! I loved it as a kid! :)

  • Thanks for posting this video. I've been wanting to watch it for years. Can't find it anywhere.

  • The ending used to scare the crap out of me as a kid.

  • Wow!! I was probably 8 the last time I saw this, that was 14 years ago

  • notice how its the jurassic and there is a triceratops

  • Thanks again for posting this. It's been so long since I last saw this. Whenever I was sick, my mom would put this on and make chicken and vegetable soup. I also had those toy dinosaurs that grow and expand when you put them in water, they were so fun to just stare at, lol.

    Those were the days...

  • Lol whats sad is that this would be "innapropriate" by todays standards. Clay dinosaurs are "too violent". LOL

  • I love this film I still have the VHS!

    You can keep your Cenozoic, but I'll take that mesozoic!

  • silly dinoaurs

  • the t-rex sounded like my cousin when he had asthma

  • at 2:47 that little dino baby.. i called him terry and i tried to make everyone of the dinos in this claymation bit.. when i was in school haha.

    my mom told me i would always scream RUN TERRY RUN HES GONNA EAT YOU! lol loved this movie and im so happy someone put it up !! best movei EVER

  • Wow, nostalgia. I remeber borrowing this video in the public library when i was 2-7 years old. Im frekin 21 now

  • what the hell is the t-rex's problem?

  • The other dinosaurs find him boorish and unpleasant to be around. You can see their point, though. He's not quite all there.

  • nice! Hes probably that guy that no invites that just keeps showin up!

  • @jasonxxxvoorhees His wife left him and he's been drinking. Anger issues, you see.

  • who does the music for the dinosaur band at the beginning? lol

  • It's a band called "Charmer"... Don't know if they've ever written anything else

  • song is called Mesozoic Mind, you can easily find an MP3 for it

  • I was getting a little creeped out when the kid started screaming at 0:45. I mean, WTF????

  • that last bit always scared me when i watched this when i was a kid. haha

    funny how in like every movie about dinosaurs they always portray the t-rex as a bad guy. he was only being a carnivor; not trying to murder every single dinosaur there was. :D

  • I used to watch this on vhs like everyday!

    I almost forgot about it!

    Thanks for posting it!

  • I was obsessed with this when i was a kid, I had the vhs, I'm so glad I found this! haha And now I'm working on my bio degree, so influential!

  • Isn't that strange, I had the video myself as a kid and I probably watched it until I memorized it. Now I'm almost done my bio degree! I'll have to be sure to show my kids this video! When I have kids anyways.

  • awesome! have been looking for this for 15 years or so :D

  • I've been looking for about 15 years too, can't believe i finally found it! Lol. and now i'm a freshman in college...

  • Omg!! My brothers and I totally grew up watching this!!! Must have seen it over a million times...love it!! And now I have a bio degree lol :)

  • lol this makes me feel stupid its like land of the lost off bubble boy

  • I've been looking for this for YEARS. They play it at the Milwaukee Public Museum on a loop and I must have seen it hundreds of times there as a kid.

  • All that stop motion animation reminds me of other movies like King Kong, Plane of the Dinosaurs and even 2,000,000 Years B.C.

  • I have been searching for this for who knows how long. Im 21 now, but i rememeber this vaguely at my mums friends house. all i remembered was clay animation dinosaurs, and something about a dinosaur eating salad, lol

  • hey man dont touch that pine tree  lol

  • weird stuff

  • wow...that takes me back.

  • hmmm....surely the Anky's woulda stood well against Rexy!

  • A sauropod that eats EGGS?!

  • I liked the way Vinton and crew made the dinosaurs more realistic and less comical looking in this sequence.

  • i have this video at home....and i love it still!

  • THank you for posting these videos!

  • if only kids shows could be like this today, i loved this when i was little and its still great to watch dinosaurs trip balls

  • @ZombieMan324  kids have changed.

  • "A shoulder blade, man!"

  • Wow. I used to watch this at the Milwaukee Public Museum when I was a kid. Loved it! Then I used it in a report in middle school on dinosaurs. Very cool to see again, thanks!

    ~Trav

  • Thank you for putting this up! Brings back memories! "Give me a mezosoic mind!"

  • wow. i haven't seen this in at least 15 years. thanks for posting this!!!

  • No problem. :)

  • That T Rex is trippin BALLS man. Look at his eyes. His tongue hanging out of his mouth. Get that guy in rehab!

  • Hmmm... Nice animation!

    Must be Spielberg's work.

  • Awesome. I love this part. though there was some odd mystery to it for me. Even when I watch it today, it makes me crave for some Cheez-Its. lol.

  • Proabably the dumbest comment I've ever had the grave misfortune of laying my eyes upon.

  • Don't listen to this guy. He's obviously got some sort of an inferiority complex or problem with his manhood. Either that or he's just an idiot.

    Life lesson from one who's been there: kids who are enthusiastic about school end up rich, kids who screw around (and screw each other) end up being either useless masses of protoplasm or employees of the rich "nerds" they once picked on.

    Would you rather be dumb and useless or educated and rich? You decide.

  • I friggin' loved this as a kid, even though I knew how inaccurate it was. Images from it that stuck with me all these years include the tyrannosaurus' slow reveal, and the blue, red-eyed egg-eating brontosaurus. Looking at it now, I still like it a lot. The kid's narration is annoying in hindsight, though.

    As for the egg-eating bronto, as horrendously inaccurate as he may be, I think he's my favorite dinosaur in this. It's those red eyes and that distinctive growl.

  • Brontosaurus was not a real dinosaur. It was a mistake between Apatosarus and Camarasaurus. The Camarasaurus skull was stuck on the body of the Apatosaurs and the name stuck. But someone saw that the head was on the wrong body and because Apatosarus was it,s first name that's it's name we stick with now.

  • well, Brontosaurus will always live in the hearts of us old schoolers. Plus, since when did sauropods start eating eggs?

  • Yeah but it never exsited.

  • Unless of course someone finds a new sauropod and gives it that name.

  • Brontosaurus = Apatosaurus

  • true, but it's the name that counts.

  • Sometimes today Brontosaurs are used as another word for suropods which Apatosaurus belongs to but not to Apatosaurus itself which is why it's name means mistaken lizard.

  • It looks like its eating the shell.

  • As much as this brings back fond memories, that kid narrator is starting to get on my freaking nerves; somebody give him back his meds!

  • 4:48-4:51 is pretty damn bloody. And this was for kids?

  • Educational purposes, my friend. Plus the violence is so cartoonish it's impossible to take it seriously.

  • This kid is into dinosaurs waaay too much. Future furry, I'd guess.

  • isn't that "Patrick's Dinosaur" or something?

  • Thanks for posting this :)

  • He was EVVVERYWHERE... For a HUNNNNDRED MILLLLIONNN YEEEEEEEARS!

  • What's a Triceratops doing in the Jurassic Period?

    I'm not even a Paleontologist/Biologist/scien­tist and I'm noticing more and MORE scientific inaccuracies in this film than the people who made it. And this film is supposed to be educational? What a joke. For God's sake, Jurassic Park is more accurate than this!

  • I knew this was pretty inaccurate evenn when I was a little kid. I've always watched it strictly for entertainment value.

  • I know. There,s also

    Coyrythosaurus

    Tyranosaurs

    Pteranodon

    Ankylosaurs

    Struthiomimus.

    They were there too. In real life did not live in the Jurassic Period.

  • The dinosaurs in this part that DID live in the Jurassic Period are

    Apatosaurus

    Brachiosaurus

    Supersaurus

    Stegosaurus

    Dryosaurus

  • @bobdrantz Jurassic Park was also made several years later. Which doesn't excuse all the inaccuracies here but it does open a window into the mindset of dinosaur lovers before Jurassic Park came out. That movie raised the bar on lots of things, from scientific accuracy to special effects (if not storytelling and screenwriting). It's unfair to harshly judge older dinosaur films, esp. ones aimed at children.

  • "Luckily Phillip erases the dinosaur before they are all killed. The class is happy with the report because not only was it informative, but also life threatening."

    rofl

  • thank you SOOOO much for posting this, a round of applause for FearlessSwan!

  • Ahh i remember that blue one scared the crap out of me as a kid haha.

  • I heard the guy who does the voice of Johnny 2X4 somewhere at the end.

  • I didn,t know Apatosaurus ate eggs! LOL

  • I'm glad someone noticed that! Apparently the animators didn't know that Apatosaurus was a plant eater.

  • They didn't realize that the sauropods and stegasaurs went extinct before T-Rex and the ceratopsians came to be, either...the idiots...

  • Yeah and I don't think T-Rex could jump as well.

  • why cant i get it to plaaaaaay!?!?!?!? This is like my favie childhood movie of all time!!!

  • is the kid in parts 1 and 2 supposed to be the one talking in parts 3 and 4? cause i always thought it was a girl talking lol.

  • The chalkboard/Claymation parts were done in 1980 and the opening live action scenes were added seven years later for home video release.

  • when did rhis come out then? did it go to theatres?? or did it just come out on video?

    thanks for putting this up i really appreciate it!!

  • Only on video as far as I know.

  • thats so weird...but my favorite movie by far!

    and i was born in 87..hahaha funny.

    thanks again!

  • hahah! That's so nice!
