Trying to find a lost dinosaur documentary from my youth
When I was a little kid, there was a particular video I used to watch all the time from my local library that was a kid's educational video about paleontology and dinosaurs. I used to watch it a lot, and even to this day random bits of the video would pop in my mind...from pieces of the catchy tunes to certain funny deliverables or visuals.
The video in question is about this paleontologist and his dog (appropriately named Rex) who go to a dig site with a bunch of kids to basically give an insight in how paleontology can help us learn about dinosaurs from the past. Things I remember from this video include:
- A song with the words "We're Going Digging For Dinosaurs"
- A musical sequence where the professor pretends he's walking among living dinosaurs (just found footage of notable dinosaur animatronics)
- A song about the process of digging up dino bones ("first you dig, dig, dig then you sift, sift, sift, that's a job for a paleontologist")
- A lame joke where the professor says "Good night and don't let the T-Rex bite" to the audience
- One of the kids finding a piece of a fossilized dinosaur egg
It's not much but if anybody here remembers it and knows what it's called, that would be a big help! I would love to see if I can't find this somewhere in the bowels of the internet.
