PREHISTORIC BEAST by Phil Tippett https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_Beast Prehistoric Beast is a ten-minute-long experimental animated film conceived, supervised and directed by Phil Tippett in 1984. Made with the go motion animation technique, scenes from Prehistoric Beast were included in the 1985 full-length documentary Dinosaur!, first aired on CBS in the United States on November 5, 1985. Phil Tippett later did work for Star Wars and Jurassic Park. I personally was a 7 year old quite fond of dinosaurs when the documentary Dinosaur! aired. The moonlight shining on the teeth of that Tyranosaurus Rex made a permanent impression. Of course it was not until Youtube that most of us are able to see the full version as a stand alone film. Forty years later this film is still one of the best examples of a dinosaur film ever made.

I Can Read About Prehistoric Creatures Written by David Eastman Illustrated by Norman Nodel A book I remember from my childhood. Thanks mom for buying this and reading it to me. The "Lost & Found Vintage Toys" blog has page scans. I also remember the audio cassette that books came with back then. Which youtube user Nick Rosa was nice enough to convert into a video.
