The Movie Behind the Yee Meme 🦕 Dinosaur Adventure 2000

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]IT'S A BOY AND A REALLY BIG ONE.

[00:00:03]>> This little guy appears to do a weird chuckle in a bush.

[00:00:06]>> I really can't cope with THE DAD'S VOICE.

[00:00:08]>> CREO, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO WITH THY SON?

[00:00:10]>> AND AS soon as tomorrow, I have to go to Oral's class with that lizard far. Did Tio nearly call Far a >> beautiful egg?

[00:00:19]>> That strange construction over there.

[00:00:22]>> Construction. Oh my god. Bird lady, cover up. Look at the faces of these background monkeys. Love this smug little one at the front, though.

[00:02:05]Hello lovely people. My name is Emma.

[00:02:07]Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you are new. You know that meme, the one where it goes Yeah, you know the one. But did you ever stop to wonder where must this meme doth originate from? Probably not that. You probably never wondered that. But if you ever wondered where it came from, today is your lucky day, my friend. I've got a hay fever tablet in my hand cuz I forgot to take it and I'm going to be sneezy.

[00:02:38]Not to sound like a flat earth YouTuber spin-off, but the trees really are out to get me, man. If you've been around my channel before, you will already be familiar with the concept of a mockbuster. These are films usually quickly and lazily produced by small studios riffing on an existing mainstream movie, usually just the title and the vague concept or the central characters. So essentially, Abentoya Imand deinosaurier aka adventure in the land of the dinosaurs just called dinosaur adventure in English. bit boring is more or less The Land Before Time, leaning much more towards less.

[00:03:15]The studio behind this and many of my favorite Disney mockbusters is Dingo Pictures. Given this movie is from the year 2000, kind of outstanding if they really are still alive. I don't know if they are still alive or they just have a online presence, but whatever. I love them. A long, long time ago, long enough that it is probably now cringey to watch, on my gaming channel, I played a game by a company called Midas Entertainment. For some reason, there was a period where Dingo Pictures gave Midas Entertainment their movies and Midas Entertainment made games out of them for the PlayStation 1. So, an innocent grandma or an aunt trying to get their children the latest fun-l lookinging Disney game would pick up out of the bargain bin something like Lion and the King or Nice Cats. I believe it was Nice Cats that I played on my gaming channel. You can check that out if you're not too scared that it might be cringey. I think it's probably still funny. Long story short, that was my introduction to Dingo Pictures was these PlayStation games that just played the short film and also had like a coloring page. Utterly bizarre. And like most mockbusters, most ripoffs that we looked at on this channel, my god, they're bad.

[00:04:22]I mean, dingo pictures are the worst of the worst, but they exist in that beautiful, very specific, small niche where they're so bad that they're actually delightful. and I will prove it to you by taking you through dinosaur adventure today. I've got my board. I've got my pointer. At first, I thought this was a little bear dressed up as a crocodile, and I was like, "Well, that's good enough." But I think it is genuinely meant to be a dinosaur. I got my reference books, and I will be honest, my dinosaur books largely come from my dinosaur period that we all had as a child. So, I'm looking at the covers and thinking that actually the information might be a little out of date. Without further ado, let's roll.

[00:04:58]Yes, this is a child-siz hat. I don't judge your head. We open with some boppy techno music and we are plunged straight into the epic world of copypasted dinosaurs. What is this? Noah's Arc. The dinosaurs marched on two by two. Harrah.

[00:05:12]We join an eclectic gang of uh you know I I did have my dinosaur phase as a kid but I I'm struggling to identify these guys to be honest. The opening is just fairly random shots of different dinosaurs walking in different directions. What's up with this one's tail? There's a story there. All of that leads us gently to our first piece of near incomprehensible dialogue.

[00:05:35]>> They keep coming. It's enough already.

[00:05:37]>> You'll notice here that the mouth starts moving long before the dialogue starts.

[00:05:40]That's a professional technique to get the mouth warmed up. Again, this is a German studio. Credit to Dingo Pictures.

[00:05:46]They dubbed their movies in several languages. Clearly, I'm listening to the English version. If you're looking for the version that has ye, you want the Italian dub, by the way. Another dinosaur says, "No way, man. They should all come see our first child be born."

[00:05:59]So, I guess this is some mixed species molecule. Very modern for the times. The dinosaur times. This bird guy is like, "So what? It's just a baby. It's nothing unusual." And the dino dad just vibrates with rage. A lady dinosaur. We assume the mother. I know from later that it's the mother. But at this point, really, who can tell? She's like, "Sh, the egg is doing something." And the bird is like, "No way. It's too early." Cut to a shot of the long boys again. There's more of them in every shot. The bird is like, "Oh god, even more of them. And what am I going to get them to eat? And if you're wondering what's going on, you are not alone. It kind of feels like the voice actors are improvising based on seeing the animation for the first time ever.

[00:06:37]>> A beautiful egg. This definitely is the mother dinosaur because she says she's been polishing the egg every day. And who cares? Honestly, this background dinosaur's expression really sums the whole thing up. Why are dinosaurs visiting from far and wide to see this one egg hatch? Is this meant to be a Jesus allegory? Are they dinosaur celebrities? You tell me. Somehow, for some reason, the bird knows exactly when it is time for the egg to hatch. And it is not now, but he has got a hammer.

[00:07:04]Haha. I'm going to get this in early.

[00:07:06]This guy's a psychopath. Just trust me, okay? You'll see. This adorable little guy hasn't said one word yet, by the way. He He's just there. Present and accounted for. There's absolutely no continuity between these shots, by the way. The parents are by the egg in one shot, the bird and the nervous looking creature in another shot. The random backdrops don't seem to line up. I'm just guessing that people are on the left or the right of the scene based on which way they're facing. But if you tried to match them up in like a big wide, I think you'd be [ __ ] I suspect these dinosaurs would break the laws of physics and they wouldn't be sorry either. Especially this guy. Ready for this character's first line? No. The dinosaurs riff about hitting baby top of his head for a minute and then this Ridley Scott looking creature is like, "It's hatching." And so it is. The egg hatches to reveal this green gummy bear looking creature. And the dad dino is thrilled because it's a boy.

[00:07:56]>> IT'S A BOY AND A REALLY BIG ONE.

[00:07:59]>> We watch the little baby take its first toddling steps and the bird laments that it will grow up into a big dino. They call them dos, by the way. All dinosaurs are referred to as dos in this. I don't know why. So, the bird is lamenting that this baby will grow up into a big dino one day. And I guess they're trying to be funny, but really they're just setting up a worrying throughine for this character.

[00:08:22]They all laugh at nothing and Adino asks the mom dino if the baby has a name yet.

[00:08:27]I nearly had a stroke at all the shots jumping around here. During the era of my notes writing, I thought the baby was called teal, like the color for a long time. I think actually it's to the IMDb page for abto land dinosaur. Apologies to my German friends. It has like three characters names on it and I disagree with the spelling of some of them, but it does say toot tio. So I I I think I think this is to There can be no certainty in the land of dinosaur adventure 2000.

[00:09:01]Berto flies up into the sky calling everyone to eat and be merry. And then we fade to a draw me like one of your French girls narrator duck. If you're wondering why or or where or what or when, I have no answers for you. And I never will. She just appears on the screen like like what? Like this. Like we see this guy for one second, I guess, just as a filler shot so we could then cut to uh narrator duck flying in the air without having to animate her standing up and flying off. There's a lot of that. There is a lot of that.

[00:09:33]This crow or whatever is just following the other duck silently as she flies, narrating the story to us.

[00:09:40]He loved to play with Cree because although Cree was much older, he was up for all the pranks.

[00:09:47]>> I don't know if I like that. So, this is Cree and I don't know if I like that. We fade back into present day, past time.

[00:09:54]Who knows? Dad, Dino gets up on his hind legs like a freak and calls for Tio.

[00:09:58]This little guy appears to do a weird chuckle in a bush. And I guess Tio and Cree are planning to do a a crazy prank on Dino Dad. Dino. Dino. Dad or Dadino?

[00:10:10]Dadino. Okay, he's called Dadino from now on. Absolutely terrifying front shot of Cre for the first time. What is this Daffy Duck [ __ ] Tio appears immediately on the defensive.

[00:10:20]>> Why are you shouting at me like that? I haven't done anything wrong today.

[00:10:24]>> They have this weird Dadino son dinosaur talk where Dadino says that Cree is a bad influence. Tio's getting rebellious.

[00:10:31]But Dadino has a solution. Tio is going to start going to school for 3 hours a day. Shucks. Oh, and Tio has evolved into his second form now. So, you understand the board. Absolutely no reason to have a shot of this guy in here. Tio complains to Dino Mom about having to go to school. I guess he's reached the age of bargaining because he's like, "Mom, I will go to Oro school if I get to play with CR now." And mom says, "Yes, but get out of here so your dad doesn't see." At this point, I wondered, is it a deliberately unhealthy family life? Is the dad going to end up being the villain? Is it too much to hope for some kind of plot? Tio and Cre are talking and and this guy whose name we still don't know is following them.

[00:11:10]It's like having a ghost in the background. No one ever mentions it. We don't know who they are. What is going on? What is this haunting of Hill House [ __ ] I will tell you now, I find Tio and Cre's relationship to be weird. I do think it's good to break generational barriers. You can have important friends and mentors that are of an older generation, but Cree just tells Tio to be naughty. They go off to play together unsupervised. His dad doesn't like Cree.

[00:11:35]Tio asks Cree if he can teach him how to fly. Then if his lessons at school are too boring, he can just fly away. I wasn't sure if Cree was being evil or genuinely stupid when he said he wasn't sure if it would work. One thing is for sure, they need to get Tio some wings.

[00:11:50]>> Yeah, that's what we need.

[00:11:52]>> She doesn't even go here. This Dino is suddenly part of the scene and I guess a child. And this is their voice. Instead of flying, Tio's father was spanking for lying.

[00:12:02]>> Tio says they won't get in trouble if they don't tell Dadino that they're practicing flying. And the crow from the narration bit flies overhead. So, who knows what's going on there.

[00:12:13]>> Stronger. You must be stronger with the wings and more elegantly.

[00:12:18]Elegance with elegance. T invites the bride to dance.

[00:12:22]>> What is going on? At this point, we learn this creature is called Peak because Cree says, >> "Shut up, Peak, or you're a freak."

[00:12:28]>> The gang debate why this flying holding two leaves thing isn't working for Tio.

[00:12:33]And Cree recalls starting from his nest the first time. Peak doesn't have dialogue exactly. They just kind of chime in now and then with a sinister chuckle or a little musical half rhyme.

[00:12:43]>> TO START FROM A STONE, THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE.

[00:12:46]>> Mostly when there's music in this film, it's that one jaunty ditty from earlier just on repeat. So enjoy that. Cre tells Tio to run off the rock, beating its wings. I'm pretty sure this grown adult prankster is trying to get this child killed. And Cre is barely finished speaking when Tio freaking goes for it.

[00:13:03]The reactions to Tio falling are so [ __ ] funny.

[00:13:10]>> By CRE's reaction, it seems cannon that Cree is an idiot and really didn't know that a dinosaur wouldn't be able to flap two leaves and take off into the air. or he wasn't expecting Tio to land on his head and is now a bit concerned that he's brained this child. Dadino starts calling for Tio who still hasn't woken up, probably brain dead. And Cree is freaking out. I really can't cope with THE DAD'S VOICE.

[00:13:32]>> WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

[00:13:33]>> TIO IS TRYING TO learn to fly. That's what made him cry.

[00:13:38]>> Pico, YOU LITTLE GRASS.

[00:13:39]>> CREO, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO WITH THY SON?

[00:13:42]>> DADDYO DOESN'T QUITE GET THIS line out right. I think he went a bit wrong on Cre's name and that threw him off. But we've only got one more hour in the vocal booth. Just move on. Cre and Peak argue. By which I mean Cre threatens Peak and Peak says a sinister nursery rhyme. If there is one thing I can say for this movie, it's that there is very consistent characterization.

[00:14:00]Consistently evil and worrying.

[00:14:02]Consistently strange and sinister, yet a little bit lovable. We fade out on a shot of the dad not saying anything.

[00:14:08]Back to narrator duck.

[00:14:10]>> He had a light concussion.

[00:14:12]>> Oh no, poor Tio. He experienced a massive thunderstorm that could be heard through the whole valley. Who is this guy? There's just another bird character that mimics the duck sexy pose every now and then for no reason. Back to the present. And Cree hasn't been allowed to visit Tio for obvious reasons. And Tio misses him cuz he's been groomed. I'm just putting it out there. Okay, we all know that's the case. Dino mom tells Tio to play with Far who is actually his own age, but Tio hates her. But I can't stand her. She's always knows everything better.

[00:14:46]>> She's always knows everything better. Is that what he said? Intrusive pan pipes over Dino Mom's dialogue.

[00:14:51]>> Now off to bed with you.

[00:14:53]>> Don't you hate it when that happens.

[00:14:54]From tomorrow, Tio is going to Oro school and he's going there with far. So lump it and get to bed, kid. Of course, Cree has snuck in for a visit.

[00:15:02]>> No, nothing's okay. I'm not allowed to see you anymore. And as soon as tomorrow, I have to go to Oral's class with that lizard saw. I'm telling you, there's no time for second takes. Did Tier nearly call Far a [ __ ] Cree says that they'll just meet secretly. That's more exciting. Anyway, hello police. Is it possible to go back to the year 2000 and arrest an animated dinosaur?

[00:15:24]Hello. Hello. C suggests they meet in secret and Tio does this. The dingo pictures patented head jiggle. It can mean anything from anger to excitement to terror to sadness. Very versatile.

[00:15:37]The next morning, we meet Far, who has kind of a bear's head on a dinosaur body.

[00:15:45]If you think Far's design is creepy, then forget it, because next we meet Oro. Oro is absolutely horrifying. He has more chins than me and a constant vib in his voice.

[00:15:55]>> There's no danger that they'll be chit chatting instead of listening to me.

[00:15:59]Okay, come along, kids.

[00:16:01]>> Is it just me or does he kind of sound like RFK Jr.? Oro gets way too close to the camera to ask how Tio's concussion is. Glad we're keeping on top of that and he's fine now. Phew. They start a lesson on a local landmark. A volcano.

[00:16:16]Can a volcano be a smoking gun? Feel like it can. Far does the whole know-it-all thing that is the reason that Tio hates her. Straight up saying to Tio on his first ever day of school, "Wow, you're stupid." Got to say, cutting to Oro's face while the kids argue. Really [ __ ] funny. Why is that so relatable? It becomes obvious in this part that Tio and Far have the same voice. The dialogue doesn't often line up perfectly in this film. On top of that, the English dub that I have seems badly out of sync. So, that makes it even worse. So, on my end, the dialogue for the next character usually starts when the previous character is still on screen. This made for a very confusing conversation because they do have the same voice. Our gives a sinister suggestion that they may be due an eruption, which leads to the worst bit of dubbing in this whole movie. Every line of dialogue is so behind that the characters have basically all swapped voices.

[00:17:04]>> Can't one tell beforehand?

[00:17:06]Yes.

[00:17:07]>> T on farf follow lowbudget Doc Brown to his invention and Peak appears to trail them with a creepy nursery rhyme. Why does this character exist?

[00:17:15]>> Oh, Oro invents great things, but the others just call it schlings.

[00:17:19]>> Honestly, how has nobody killed this dinosaur yet? So, this is Oro's invention. It's a toy dinosaur on a wooden pedal stuck to a Flintstone's gramophone which has been put together backwards. And this guy is the teacher, not the local scenile that they visit to cheer up with a song every Sunday. Otto explains that this machine listens to sounds deep in the earth and essentially paints a waveform. This is Tio's first day of school. What happened to basic maths and reading? To be fair, they are dinosaurs. They are dinosaurs, actually.

[00:17:48]Maybe learning about volcanoes is more important than maths and reading. Now that I think about it, now that I think about it, my idea is pretty stupid.

[00:17:55]Oops. Anyway, predictably, the machine starts freaking out. And I think actually this is a tiny dinosaur, not a toy, because it looks all shocked when that happens. You can always rely on Peak to cheer you up. When Oro explained the machine, he said it worked by drawing a line, a waveform, but all it did was jiggle. Tio is like, "Wow, cool.

[00:18:13]It's going to have fire and everything."

[00:18:14]And Oro is like, "You stupid little prick. This is serious." Our tells the kids to go tell their parents the news.

[00:18:20]In typical fashion, Dadino greets Tio with a loving, "What are you doing here?" Tio tells his parents of their discovery and his mom is like, "Great. A volcano. That's all we need." I mean, literally.

[00:18:32]>> A volcano eruption. That's all we need now. That I've just renovated our home.

[00:18:39]It's the forest. What have you been replanting the trees? The parents walk off to consult with Oro and Cree sneaks in the moment they've gone. That's creepy uncle behavior. Tio's voice actor chooses an unfortunate moment to swallow their saliva or something.

[00:18:52]>> Everyone's running tomorrow.

[00:18:54]>> Yes, I wanted to tell you about it as well. And Phil's crein recycling the same dinosaurs walking around B-roll as earlier, but with the weirdest little riff. Terrifying dinosaur jump scare.

[00:19:05]The dinos are, I guess, all crowded around Oro's invention, which is still just juttering and not drawing anything.

[00:19:12]>> But how do you predict an eruption with that strange construction over there?

[00:19:17]construction.

[00:19:18]>> He can't prove anything. We can only tell by watching the sky the way we learned to do from our parents.

[00:19:26]>> Who are you? This terrifying Dino walked in with Far. So, I kind of assumed at this point that it was her mom. Also, this our elders know best idea is kind of exactly why the kids are sent to school with Oro. He's the boring wise old dinosaur. So, this line doesn't really make any sense. And I am afraid of her and her stunning eyeliner. Just a couple frames of this. I guess Otto was frozen from being dumbfounded because that all builds up to him saying, >> "Are you as stupid as you always were, >> bro?" Otto rants at them about science and how one day they'll all be able to fly. And Cre laughs at this, probably fondly remembering the other day when he gave Tio a concussion.

[00:20:05]Good times. All the idiot grown-up dinosaurs get caught up in this flying thing. And scary eyeliner dinosaur is like, "See, this is why we can't trust Oro's machine." And then she's like, "Let's go, Far." I think Far might be adopted. Just a hunch. I'm just going to play my favorite bit from this scene so that you can enjoy it, too.

[00:20:21]>> WE MUST GET AWAY from here.

[00:20:24]>> Dadino is like, "We should sleep on this and discuss it in the morning." Tio tries to argue with him. And Dadino is just like laments to Cree that the DOS don't believe him even though it's so simple.

[00:20:39]And I'm looking at the machine and I'm thinking, I kind of get why they don't believe him. Cre asks Oro if he can do something with his machine to stop the volcano. And Otro just vibrates with rage. That happens a lot. Oro gives Cree this ominous message. If we stay here, very few of us will survive. And Cre flies merrily away. This guy doesn't have a care in the world. Psychopath. Oh my god. Bird lady, cover up. Why are her poses like this? Just clo her right in the face. Narration. Narration. Cutting to this other bird that never says anything. Basically, the DOS had the clash moment and couldn't decide whether to stay or go. That Clash song has an answer, by the way. If I go, there will be trouble.

[00:21:18]If I stay, it will be double. So, come on and let me know. You should clearly [ __ ] go. So, should the DOS, but they don't, and they forget all about Oro's warning. The next bit of dialogue is so rushed. It's like the actors were trying to keep up with the animation. Where are you going off to? We want to take a trip to the Crater Lake and play with the crocodiles. Folks, am I crazy or does this sound like the same actor trying to voice both characters at the same time?

[00:21:42]Tio is still not allowed to see Cree, so he pretends that he's off to hang out with Peak. And his mom is like, "Okay, but you better not start speaking in rhyme." And fair enough, Peak is very creepy. Tio and Cre meet up, [ __ ] talk Peak for a bit, and then head off to see some crocodiles. I wasn't sure at the time if they were crocodiles or alligators. The dinosaurs are all mixed up together, so it's not like we can judge from the time period. I only know they're crocodiles because somebody says crocodile later in the movie. The crocodiles see the others coming and decide to give Tio and Cre a fright because they're jerks, I guess. Tio and Cre approach the empty pond and a crocodile leaps up.

[00:22:19]Did you expect me to jump? You can't scare me. Then why did you go? Ah. Tio starts getting ready to play in the water when a great rumbling occurs. At least the picture shakes. There's a slight rumbling sound, but it's pretty much drowned out by this like single cord that gets suddenly cut off. It It's weird.

[00:22:38]Oh [ __ ] fam. The volcano is erupting. Please post in the comments about how sweet that was when I did that just then. It's frantic. Everyone is panicking. The volcano is shooting red orbs right at the audience. These dinosaurs are in negative now. Tio Cree and the crocs hide in a cave. This crocodile seems to have lost his tail in the carnage. Narrator Bird Lady tells us that the group had to hide in the cave for almost a week before the air cleared and they could go back outside. Not sure how they survived that long without food or water, but whatever. This is hardly a documentary. The gang head outside and find the landscape devastated. The trees are all bare. Everything's all burned away. The crocs cry. They're already the cutest characters with their big eyes.

[00:23:18]This is heartbreaking.

[00:23:23]Tio is like, "They're dead, C. We're all alone in the world. And Cre turns into Christopher Walkin for a second.

[00:23:30]>> I don't know.

[00:23:32]>> Good news, everyone. Oro survived. When his machine reached peak crazy, he ran away and hid in a cave. If you're ever wondering, that is how you survive a volcano erupting. Apparently, everyone in a cave is fine. Tio is not pleased about this. You can tell by the insertion of these frames where he has angry eyes. Tio is like, "You just left everyone in the lurch, huh?" And Oro explains that he warned them all again before the eruption, but everyone just argued about whether to believe him or not. He did his best, man. They decide to go looking for the others, except for the Crocs, who have got to go find water. Goodbye, Crocs. I love you. The gang draw sticks that represent cardinal directions, and they use that methodology to decide to go west. Go west. A stick said, "Go there. Go west."

[00:24:14]This has all got a bit [ __ ] grim, to be honest. Earlier, it was all pranks and school is boring. Now everyone's crying and their neighbors are dead and their home is destroyed. I guess Lamb Before Time has a similar level of dark.

[00:24:28]So maybe that's what they were going for. Good news, the gang haven't found Tio's parents among the dead.

[00:24:35]Yay. But they haven't found a trail or anything to eat. Suddenly Cree flies in to tell Tio and Oro that he's found some grass to eat. And they're chowing merrily down when monkey jump scare.

[00:24:48]Hey, we're the monkeys. We haven't really evolved yet. Now, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer here. I don't want to be a Peter Party pooper. I don't want to be a Randall ruins the movie by failing to suspend his disbelief. But if we're in dinosaur times, granted speurious dinosaur times based on the species, but dinosaur times nonetheless, we're too early for primates. And the earliest primates were small shrewike fellas.

[00:25:10]Apes like the gorilla ass man we've just seen came tens of millions of years later. And the enormity of that time difference is only acceptable if you have a great tie-in bowling game for the PS1 or Raquel Welsh in a bikini. Dude, if this came out in 2026, there would be AI allegations. Look at the faces of these background monkeys. Love this smug little one at the front, though. Cre taunts them because even though this is a terrifying gang of great apes, he can just fly away above them. And he doesn't care about his friends. Psychopath. Oro apologizes and explains that they're just so dang hungry. In this movie's little Tarzan moment, a lady monkey feels sorry for Tio and sticks up for the group. They promise to eat just a little bit more and then move on. A little baby monkey appears and Cree immediately starts chatting him up.

[00:25:51]>> You're a cute ape. What's your name?

[00:25:54]>> He is not beating the creepy uncle allegations. The group explain that they're looking for Tio's parents and ask the monkeys if they've seen any DOS.

[00:26:00]>> No, you're the first dos we've seen since the eruption.

[00:26:04]>> Do you think that line was on a page 10?

[00:26:06]Lady Monkey asks lead man monkey. I think his name is Draon. She asks if the Dino gang can stay and get recuperated.

[00:26:12]And she stumbles like three times in that line. His response is just But the lady monkey is like, "Cool, you can stay with us." We all see who's really in charge here. Oro is like, "Great. I can work on my invention."

[00:26:25]They explain the whole volcano eruption predictor of Oro's invented a machine that predicts the eruption of the volcano. And why?

[00:26:36]And why did you not predict this terrible eruption? Was that first why meant to be there? A lot of Oro's dialogue in the English dub. Sounds like he's burping.

[00:26:46]>> Ed, but no one believed me.

[00:26:48]>> Don rather cleverly asks Oro to explain his machine and build one for the monkeys and then they can stay as long as they like. And Cre asks the monkey baby to go play because he only befriends children. That's canon.

[00:27:00]>> The three friends felt more and more at home with the ape every day.

[00:27:04]>> She said apes. You all heard. We didn't start getting apes until the oligosine epoch, like 30 million years after the Cretaceous Paleogene extinction event that would have wiped out most of our characters. Immersion ruined. This was a totally realistic film until now.

[00:27:19]Narrator Bird says the mom ape is called Kala and I believe her. Kala has been mothering Tio whenever she could. Really weird way to phrase it. Narrator Bird says Tio got sad thinking about his parents and weird other bird cries a bit. It's the first sound he ever makes.

[00:27:35]Who is he? One day, no idea how much time has passed. The narrator just says, "One day and you have to deal with that." Cree and Raja, baby monkey, run back from an excursion all excited, calling for Tio and Oro. Raja tells the gang what he just told Cree that when the monkeys ran through a cave during Volcano Gate, a big foot nearly squished him. The group surmised that the Bigfoot must belong to Adino. Finally, a clue.

[00:28:00]>> Do you remember in which direction the foot was running?

[00:28:03]>> I don't know why. I just love that line.

[00:28:05]What a funny way to phrase that question. Raja has forgotten which way the foot was running, but Draggon reasons it must have been going the same way that they were.

[00:28:12]>> We have a trial or my parents are alive.

[00:28:15]>> Hang on, Tio. Couple of questions. We have a trial. I listened to this a bunch of times and that's my best guess at what he says. I think he just means they have a clue. I think there was probably a typo in the script and it was meant to say trail, but even that is not really the right word. And uh just because Adino was running from the volcano doesn't mean that Tio's parents are alive. Everyone would have been running from the volcano. The dinosaur that owned that foot could have died a few minutes later. That dino, sorry, Dino could also have nothing to do with Tio's parents. And they certainly don't have feet big enough to squish Raja. And for him to only see their feet. Their feet were pretty normalsized. Oro says as much to Tio, but this time he goes a bit walking.

[00:28:51]>> All we know is that one Dino is alive.

[00:28:55]>> Tio, Oro, and Cree bid farewell to the monkeys, leaving the apes with a machine of their own. We don't see it. We're just told this. According to the narrator bird, Oro told the apes to turn the machine on every day. I don't think I need to explain the problem here.

[00:29:07]We're certainly further from electrical machinery than we are from the evolution of apes. Although, this is a world where a dinosaur has already invented the gramophone. I guess anything's possible.

[00:29:15]Anyway, the group continues west. Go west. There are do sulfur in the air. Jaunty as hell music accompanies their travels again. Tio spots some tracks and again immediately assumes they found his parents. Otto says that these tracks are fresh, but thinks it's strange that these do haven't moved on. There's hardly anything to eat here.

[00:29:36]>> Who cares? The main thing is that we're they're alive. Are you sure you don't want to retake that line? Our doesn't have a good feeling about this. Man's so unsettled that his medium close-up sprite keeps flipping on the horizontal axis. Hate when that happens. Tio spots the DOS up ahead. There's a couple familiar faces. Far's terrifying parent and the screaming alien among them.

[00:29:55]Far's legal guardian rears up and croaks menacingly at them.

[00:30:02]Ah, the group send to fly over and see what the heck is going on. She's like, "Get lost, mate. You're just here because you want food and there ain't enough in this town for both of us." I'm paraphrasing. Cree is like, "No, the dry, boring food here. We don't want that stuff anyway." And Arg says they've gotten used to something better.

[00:30:19]I guess the dos were all herbivores before, even though they definitely did not all look like it. And now this group has become carnivorous. Cut away from that dramatic reveal to these old pals.

[00:30:31]Peak and far walts over all casually.

[00:30:34]>> My heart just fills with joy that I can see you boy.

[00:30:37]>> A do I love Peak now? Cre asks where Tio's parents are, and Peak rhymes that there was a fight some time ago. Arg does her evil hedjiggle laugh and explains that Tio's definitely carnivorous looking parents refused to eat meat, so they moved on. Alien Dino finds all of this hilarious. Arg is mocking Tio's parents for thinking that there might be better plants to eat further away, but feel like her strategy is a bit shortsighted. With no plants around, there's going to be no prey for the now carnivorous dinosaurs to eat.

[00:31:06]And the first newbies that showed up here in ages, they told to get lost. So, where is this meat they're eating coming from? I can only assume that they're ritually consuming each other one at a time. But I mean, that can't last forever. Far is like, "Maybe they were right. Maybe there is more food out west." And also calls after Cree, who doesn't hear or ignores her as he flies back to fill in the others. So, at this point, I discovered that I've been misgendering Arg this entire time because Cree says that Arg and his gang have become meat eaters. In my defense, a lot of these characters have been voiced by a woman. Just a woman doing a deep growly voice. How am I meant to know what dinosaur gender that represents? Not only that, but I'm pretty confident that a woman voices this same character in the English and the Italian dub. So, my apologies to Arg. I will get that right from now on, but I was too lazy to update my notes up to this point. Tio and Oro ask about Tio's parents and the fact that Peak is over there with them. And Cre becomes very lazair. He's like, I don't know. I I didn't really understand. I think there was a fight or something. I was there, Cree. It was very simple. They moved on further west. Our is like fine.

[00:32:08]I'll have to go and talk to Arg myself and find out where your parents are, which he wouldn't have had to do at all if Cri had just retained that very simple conversation. The music is very retro pornographical as Oro walks over to the meateers.

[00:32:23]Arg tells Oro the same thing that he told Cree, "They've gone bloody west, mate." Oro says pretty boldly given the circumstances that meat eating is going to do this lot in. He's probably also noticed the sustainability issues. Also, suddenly changing your diet completely seems like a problem. I had also been getting Far's relationship with Ark wrong this whole time. I mean, obviously, it's not her mom. She suddenly calls him uncle for the first time, which makes the fact that they look like wildly different species slightly better. I swear the film never made clear their relationship. It barely helps you out with their names. I'm doing my best. Peak, not rhyming, for the first time, I presume, ever, whispers that he and Far will sneak out to them tonight. Back to narrator bird and I think she's drunk.

[00:33:05]>> Oro told trio and ki after dark far and peak slipped away to meet their friends.

[00:33:11]And I really don't know why we need a narrator for this. The animation is already so minimal. Is it really easier to reuse this flapping bird animation than it is to reuse Far and Peak's walking animation? I guess there are fewer characters and the background never has to change, but dear lord, that's laziness on an unprecedented level. Anyway, fun fact, I didn't know ARG was called ARG until this point. I thought they were called ANC at first, and then I used the find and replace tool to change it to art, which was also wrong. The narrator bird, while pointless from a storytelling perspective, is the only character who speaks clearly enough for me to understand every word. Also, come on.

[00:33:46]The scary grumpy dinosaur is called Arg.

[00:33:50]Really? Anyway, the gang met up at night and snuck off to continue heading out west. The landscape was getting friendlier. I presume that means the environment was improving. But despite that, Tio had to annoy Far. We jump into Tio being a little [ __ ] to Far for no reason. You can tell that by Far's absolutely furious expression. Tio says he's surprised that Far didn't stay with the meateers because she always does what her uncle tells her. What the [ __ ] bro? I kind of hate Tio. He doesn't have a lot of redeemable qualities. That totally unnecessary bit of [ __ ] talking over with. Cree tells everyone to hurry up. There's fresh water and lovely grass up ahead. Plus 11 copy pasted deer shapes. See, this would be a better spot for plant and meat eaters alike. Off they go. For some reason, the sound of the deer running away is really funny to me.

[00:34:36]>> Look, Tio, it's almost looks like a crocodile.

[00:34:40]>> It is. I know you're excited about this croc. They are the cutest little guys, but just wait till you hear this character's voice.

[00:34:45]>> There were big dinners here lately, but my cousin told me that there is much, much more to eat around the corner.

[00:34:52]>> What corner? the corner of the lake. The group walks, I presume, round the corner, jaunty music, spring sounds.

[00:35:00]We're getting towards the end. You might think we just have time to finally reunite Tio with his parents. Brace yourselves for another shock, lads.

[00:35:09]>> Who are you? I'm Tio.

[00:35:12]That's right. Tio's parents moved out west and thinking Tio was dead, they had a second child that they basically called T02. I used this sad image just to differentiate between Tio and Tio. I cuz it is the same sprite from when Tio was a baby. Who are you? Tio the second.

[00:35:29]Are you dead? This kid actually goes by Tio II. First of all, that implies his dad was Tio the First, not his brother.

[00:35:37]Second, oh my god, this poor kid doesn't get to live one second of his life outside of his presumed dead brother's shadow. I never like Tio's parents. Tio looks mega uncomfortable with this whole situation. Understandably, he's worried that his parents won't want him anymore, but his friends reassure him. This is the moment in the Italian dub, by the way. Beep.

[00:35:55]>> Cut to Mom Dino and Daddy know. Mom Dino is still depressed that they left Tio behind. No surprise that Daddy know is like, "Come on, cheer up. He never liked Tio anyway. Who cares? It's my son. Who cares?" Q. Goofy reunion with an absolutely timeless tune.

[00:36:14]We don't actually see the Dino family reunite. We see Madino and Tio running towards each other and we just fade to black on Peak chuckling. Back to narrator Bird to tell us that it was a lovely reunion. Classic tell don't show.

[00:36:27]And apparently Far was a little sad because Tio got to reunite with his family and she's all alone in the world.

[00:36:32]I feel like Far's story would have been a much more interesting one to tell.

[00:36:36]Instead, we follow her school bully. Oh well. Tio's mom adopts Far. Even Tio II was happy because he found a new friend.

[00:36:44]If you thought narrator Bird was talking about Tio, remind yourself which character is the first to make friends with any baby. Tio II asks Creed to teach him how to fly. Later, later when it's dark, there's a rock over there, but but don't tell anyone.

[00:37:03]>> Psychopath shut of the Dino babies all on mom's lap giggling to end the story.

[00:37:08]The music abruptly cuts off and roll credits.

[00:37:13]Ludvig Simone, I have some questions.

[00:37:16]That, my friends, is Dinosaur Adventure 2000, aka the movie that spawned one of the greatest memes. While Dingo Pictures animated films are guilty of the same things that all these mockbuster companies are, right? The laziness, the poor script, the bad dubbing, relying on innocent grandmas picking the wrong VHS by mistake. Something about the animation, the terrible voice over, the fact that the voice over is done by like two people, maybe three, and they just put on a different voice for some characters and then not for others. Just how bad the art is. I'm so sorry. My apologies to the animators, but the drawings are bad. I'll eat my dinosaur hat if they used any references for these creatures, but those things are what makes it so fun. Get the lads around, get some chips and dip together, and have a Dingo Pictures marathon. I promise you will laugh so much and we wouldn't have one of the greatest memes of all time if it weren't for this movie. Let me know your thoughts down below. Do give this video a like.
