Dink, the Little Dinosaur -
Adventurous little brontosaurus featured on the Hanna-Barbera
animated cartoon DINK, THE LITTLE DINOSAUR/CBS/1989-90. The
series followed Dink the dinosaur as he
roamed the volcanic landscape of prehistory in a place called
Dinosaur Valley. Dinks friends included
Amber (crestheads), Scat
(a lizard), Shyler (a sailback), Flapper (a pterodactyl) and
Crusty, an old tortoise who mentored the dino youngsters. The
bad guy in the neighborhood was Tyranno the Tyrannosaurus who
liked to chase them.
Produced by Ruby - Spears
Productions, the
30-minute series was based on 1989 movie Dink the Little
Dinosaur which spawned the sequel Land of No Return
(1994). Its storylines fostered
positive behaviors, such as caring
about oneself and others, tolerance, ecology, problem-solving and
team work.
Starting with the second season, the
show introduced a weekly segment called “Factasaurus” that
taught lessons and fun facts about different dinosaur species.
