BURBANK, Calif., January 20, 2006 – Because thundering hordes of fan-osaurs demanded it, Disney and Jim
Henson Productions present DINOSAURS: THE COMPLETE FIRST AND SECOND SEASONS, available for
the first time ever on DVD May 2. One of the most-requested TV shows that fans have roared for on DVD,
Dinosaurs is the critically-acclaimed, award-winning comedy series set in 60,000,003 B.C., starring the Sinclairs, a
hilarious family of very modern dinosaurs. Their comedic antics and continuing family relationships provide a
humorous look at our own society today. The show features a talented vocal cast and big-time guest stars, and the
multi-disc DVD set boasts exclusive bonus features including a never-before-seen look at the making of Dinosaurs.
For fans of the show and new audiences, all the laughs and fun of DINOSAURS: THE COMPLETE FIRST AND
SECOND SEASONS are ready to own in a DVD box set for $39.99 (S.R.P.).

Based on an idea by Jim Henson, Dinosaurs is a live-action series which employs Jim Henson Productions’
puppetry and audio animatronics from Henson’s fabled Creature Shop. Combined with smart writing and hilarious
characters, Jim Henson Productions’ ground-breaking puppet technology created a show which won an Emmy
Award for Outstanding Art Direction (1991), the coveted Parents Choice Award for Television (1992), Parents
Choice Gold Seal Award (1992), the Environmental Media Award (1991, 1993), Genesis Award (1991), the New
York Film Festival Silver Medal for Family Programming Award (1992) and the Chicago International Film
Festival Silver Hugo Award (1993).

Dinosaurs’ vocal cast features all-time TV favorites Sherman Helmsley (TV’s “The Jeffersons”) and Sally
Struthers (TV’s “All In The Family”), with a guest star list that includes Jason Alexander, Michael Richards and
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (all of TV’s “Seinfeld” fame), Tim Curry (“Valiant”) and legendary comedian Buddy Hackett
(“The Love Bug”).

<center>BONUS FEATURES</center>

• PRE-HYSTERICAL TIMES: THE MAKING OF ‘DINOSAURS’
This featurette is a never-before-seen look at how Jim Henson’s Creature Shop brought Dinosaurs to life.

• THE ART OF DINOSAURS
Character Designer Kirk Thatcher takes viewers through his original designs for Dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs chronicles the story of the highly-evolved and hysterically funny Sinclair family, whose daily adventures
may be the most comic in pre-history. Earl Sinclair (Stuart Pankin) is a bombastic, middle-aged Megalosaurus. A
blue-collar dinosaur, Earl has worked as a tree pusher for 24 years. Fran (Jessica Walter) is Earl’s even-tempered
Allosaurus wife. Their two adolescent children are Robbie (Jason Willinger), the 14-year-old with unconventional
beliefs, and Charlene (Sally Struthers), the 12-year old, two-ton epitome of a material girl who never finishes
talking or shopping. Completing the family are Baby (Kevin Clash), the attention-grabbing newborn, and Grandma
Ethyl (Florence Stanley), Fran’s mother who opposes Earl on everything. They’re joined by Roy Hess (Sam
McMurray), Earl’s best friend, co-worker and a confirmed bachelor Tyrannosaurus, and B.P. Richfield (Sherman
Hemsley), Earl’s ferocious Triceratops boss.

Dinosaurs is a production of Michael Jacobs Productions and Jim Henson Productions in association with Walt
Disney Television. Executive Producer Michael Jacobs, Co-Executive Producer Brian Henson, Supervising
Producer Bob Young. Produced by Mark Brull, Co-Producer Jeff McCracken, Co-Producer Kirk R. Thatcher.
Associate Producer Kim Rozenfeld.

YES! It's about time! I think they could have made the cover art a little nicer though.

why Disney isn´t giving us spanish speakers a spanish track on their series??

ichabod · Post by **ichabod** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 3:16 am

Well this is good news, although i don't think that cover is as good as it could be. After all a lot of people will not have seen Dinosaurs for 10 years plus, and even if they liked the show when it was aired the fact that the DVD cover doesn't really feature any shots of Earl or Baby in their entirity may lead to them not recognising it as the same show when they see it on the shelf in a store.

Anywho, i'm sure i'll pick this up at some point in time.

This show was good but didn't Boy Meets World take it's timeslot on Fridays.

Wonderlicious · Post by **Wonderlicious** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 4:36 am

I may be interested in getting this. I was somewhat partial to Dinosaurs as a kid. It may not rank as the best TV show ever, but it was still generally good.

I had almost totally forgotten about this show. Wow, can't wait for it to be on dvd!!!!

MickeyMousePal · Post by **MickeyMousePal** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 10:23 pm

The artwork looks nice and hopefully I could get this along with Home Improvement this Summer....or Spring...

Pals, please don't link to other sites that have the same content that's already here. It's more than a little disheartening when people who post on this forum look elsewhere for DVD news that can be had right here at UltimateDisney.com first.

MickeyMousePal · Post by **MickeyMousePal** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 10:55 pm

Sorry, I put that link I'm a bad bad boy and it won't happen again.
