I wouldn’t call any Disney Henson’s Dinosaurs content lost media since it’s clearly found, Nevertheless it’s forgotten and should be talked about more. So I will talk a little bit about different media from Dinosaurs that seems to have been forgotten and fans of hte hsow might want to find a little bit more from the show that they have. I’ll try to keep it with “in continuity” stuff and by that I mean not behind the scenes or interviews, but stuff that I guess is technically supposed to happen “in universe” whether canon or not, though not reasony why it coudln’t be canon.

fairy tales for about 40 mins. These are all sotries you already knwo with soem slight alterations because they’re dinosaurs and it’s the 90s so that’s the twist. There is an actual overarching story and the characters stay in character and there’s interruptions and whatnot. You have most of the cast, Early, Richfield, Ethyl, Fran, Baby, Charlene, Robbie. The whole Sinclair family are both in the ongoing “real” story and the characters of the fictionalized stories. The baby needs to go to sleep so Earl reads him stories and he wants dragons and swamp monsters in the stories. IT almost fels like it could be a lame episode of the show as the whole tape is not that interesting. It’d be a stinker of an episode but I’m pretty sure they had an episode that had a very similar concept.
1992 MGM Studios Walt Disney World Resort Dinosaurs Parade Home Movie Dinosaurs Live!
Surprise family of the day. The Sinclair Dinosaurs were on a parade at MGM studios / Walt Disney World. They were playing, there’s dialog of them talking. It’s a full show in a way. It’s not the actual costumes from the show, they’re cheaper looking but at the same time neat to look at since they’re different. Earl is in a hawaian shirt for example. The characters have appropriate dialogue which is played. Sadly the cart trailer is not really themed for dinosaurs at all. But hey you have the family and even Grandma. Of course it has the Baby. Fran looks the most like herself as does Robbie. Charlene not as much in that sweater and neither does Ethyl, baby looking.
The humor is sort of on point a bit more kid friendly, they have to be in Labrae California, they have to have a dancing number and they talk about how they can handle it, they all dance and that’s it. They do sing in their actual voices like in Big Songs. The song is Everybody do the Dinosaur. The branding for this was never thought out well though. Walk the dinosaur, mini-parade that lead to a minishow. The float just has them dancing and saying random phrases bickering before they stop. Cave girls dancing? There seems to be some but it’s hard to tell, they might just have some similar looking costumes. Trump they’re shooting a video is the context.
Although perhaps some of the coloring books are not really documented, but often they used to have little text flavor that indicated something happening. I actually wish coloring books in general were better documented online. I used to love my Power Rangers the movie coloring book for htat reason, more so than the actual coloring. Perhaps I should also quickly mention the American McDonalds commercial that has new footage of the Fran/Earl in bed with Baby. But with that said, we’ve exhausted all the additional media that exists for Jim Henson’s dinosaurs by Disney, jeeze. how do I even help SEO on this one.
