Fan Made DINOSAURS Animated Video Now Online

Today we are thrilled and proud to present an incredible fan-made video based on Dinosaurs. The video was made by Davide Maugeri and his talented team of animators. Here's a brief blurb about the animated short from Davide himself...

Recently I've teamed up with some workmates to make a CG tribute to Jim Henson. A one and a half minute animated short featuring two characters from one of our favorite Jim Henson shows, Baby and Earl Sinclair from Dinosaurs. We'd like to stress that it is only meant as a homage and tribute to the genius of Jim Henson which made the series possible. Since this was a big hit in the early 90s and it ended up forgotten, our main goal is to bring these characters back to life and remind people they still exist, and they still can make us laugh like they used to

And without further ado, here it is: "I'm the Baby, Gotta Love Me" completely and expertly rendered in gorgeous CGI. Enjoy it, because it's almost impossible not to. I love it. I hope you do too.



The Muppet Mindset would like to thank Davide Maugeri and his team for choosing us to showcase this incredible video.

(Kind of) Weekly Dinosaurs Quotes: Earl Sinclair

Casey Daron - The main protagonist in Dinosaurs is fat, clumsy, and hated by many, including his mother-in-law. Who is he? Earl Sinclair, of course! He works all day pushing down trees under his hateful boss, B.P. Richfield. He goes home, gets hit with a frying pan, eats a meaty dinner, and yells at his kids. And that's all in one day! Earl is a great guy, er, dinosaur, who adds just the perfect amount of stupidity to the show.

"Those Wesayso ads are lies."

"So what? It's temporarily being accepted by the masses, so it's the truth!"

"I know they just crawled out of the sludge and I hate to be critical of other life forms, but God, I hate lawyers."
