There were three things I loved as a kid:
1. Dinosaurs.
2. Cartoons.
3. Cartoons about dinosaurs.
And yet, I somehow missed the 1987 gem "Dinosaucers":
Holy crap! I'm getting goose bumps. This show had every element for the perfect 80's cartoon:
--Dinosaurs
--Kids in matching jackets
--Space travel
--flying motorcycles
--gloves with holes for the fingers
How could I have missed this show? All I did in 1987 was watch cartoons. Hell, I hadn't even started Kindergarten yet, so it wasn't like I was hurting for free time.
Here it is again with some choice voice over work.
And how hasn't this been made into a movie yet? I guarantee this would make money. Just think about "Transformers." Are you thinking about it yet? Good, now instead of robots, I want you to switch in some dinosaurs. Okay, the dinosaurs don't change into cars or anything, but besides that, I think you can see what I'm getting at.
Also, you will be humming the "Dinosaucers" theme for the next several hours. That's my gift to you.
