Return with us now to those
thrilling days of prehistoric play as DinoRock Productions
unmasks its newest fossil fantasy from the old, old, old
west. Most folks know about triceratops, stegosaurus, and
T.rex. But what's a cryolophosaurus? Why it's the first meat
eating dinosaur dug up in the Antarctic. Folks who know him
call him Elvis. Course most folks don't know him. And that's
made him a desperado. He hangs out at the Dew Drop Inn in
Fossil Junction, where little known dinosaurs from all over
the world mosey on down Main Street lookin' for recognition.
A T.rex youngster is missing. His mama is ready to trample
the town if someone doesn't find him soon. The sheriff is
askin' all the desperados for help in roundin' up the little
buckaroo.
The DinoRockers invite you to
meet eight wacky oddballs from the Mesozoic Era, including:
The thick headed Pachycephalosaurus; Lumpy and his son
Bumpy; Sarah the Saharan Suchomimus who's only thought is of
eating fish; the very cool Elvis, the Cryolophosaurus found
in Antarctica; and, the little lost T.rex toddler named
Wuzzy, who has feathers—that's right...feathers!
"Dinosaur Desperados is, to my
mind; one of the best theme shows for children on the market
today. Of course there are wonderfully animated puppets,
large scale and yet very approachable; toe tapping-sing
along songs; and a funny and vast array of characters that
are a given for DinoRock Productions. But the premise and
plot of this new show follow the latest events of
paleontology with up to the minute depictions of the
recently discovered information about some old "kid
favorites"—the feathered baby Rex is so cute! Yes, this is a
rave review. But actually, I am only voicing my audience's
excitement and enjoyment. Dinosaur Desperados was a smash
hit, and rightly so. Your work was terrific!" —Roberta M.
