Movie Monthly - Jurassic World

Welcome back to Movie Monthly where I spend an entire month spotlighting entries in a niche genre of films.  Normally I don’t like to focus on big, well-known films unless I feel they’ve been overlooked or forgotten but this is a special case.  The whole reason I decided to make this first month of Movie Monthly ‘Jurassic June’ was because Jurassic World premiered this month so it would feel a bit disingenuous not to cover it here.  With that said let’s dive right in. 

Static Thoughts - Dino Riders

As it’s still June and I’m still celebrating all things dinosaur I thought it’d be fun to look at some dinosaur T.V. shows, specifically shows of the animated variety.  Here’s the thing though, the preponderance of animated dinosaur shows range from awful to mediocre.  There’s the well remembered but in actuality terrible Dinosaucers, rightfully forgotten mediocrity like Denver the Last Dinosaur or The Land Before Time animated series, and the decent if not terribly interesting installments like Extreme Dinosaurs.  There is however one animated dinosaur show that not only holds up it holds up incredibly well thanks to a huge amount of non-narrative subtext.  That show, as you may have guessed from the title, is Dino-Riders.
