i'm trying to figure out if this is the "movie" i am thinking of. when i was very young, i was obsessed with dinosaurs. and this seems to be it, i had it on video, but i seem to remember it being longer than 13 minutes... and it seems familiar, i swore "that boy from wonder years" was in it.. but the only CLEAR thing i remember about it was that at one point the boy in the movie is sitting on his bed and behind him is his pillow. the pillowcase is white, and has a few dinosaurs drawn on it, colored differently in mainly the primary colors. i remember this because i had the same pillowcase. can anyone DEFINITELY confirm or deny that this is the same "movie" that i am thinking of from when i was a child?

Sarah Michelle? Could you perhaps put down the piña colada for a second and maybe rent an emotion?

yeah, i found it elsewhere and there are a LOT of errors here on IMDB.

it's actually called "Dinosaurs" with an S. and it's thirty minuts long. and was made in '87.

You're right. I think the actual claymation part was in fact from 1980. And it was later sold as a tape with an added live action beginning with Fred Savage.

you guys are absolutely correct. I was a little confused too until I googled the song and found a fan site, MesozoicMind.com. here's the thread for that: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080629/board/nest/5911839
