How do we know no one can escape? – Well, have you heard of it before?īut all is not happiness in this ‘Lost World’. And you can’t escape the island because of the ‘Razor Reef’ that surrounds it. There is a human love interest in the shape of Marion (Katie Carr), the daughter of the Mayor of Waterfall City, capital of Dinotopia.
They discover they have been washed up on the shores of a mysterious continental island called ‘Dinotopia’.Ĭomedian Lee Evans voices the neurotic Stenonychosaurus Librarian, Zippo. Their father is killed but the boys, both spoiled brats, survive. They are flying off on holiday with him when they took over the controls of their father Frank's (Stuart Wilson) plane, and it crashes in a freak storm in the Caribbean. Teenage half-brothers Karl and David Scott (Tyron Leitso and Wentworth Miller) have the same Dad. It’s pure Fantasy, obviously, in a very Jules Verne kind of way. ‘Twenty-Six’ is actually a very delicate little machine controlled by two operators using hidden transmitters to move his eyes, mouth and tail.īut, it also had a fairly adult story, the character interactions, especially between the two brothers was well conceived. The cutest of these is ‘Twenty-Six’, a baby Dinosaur given to Karl to rear. Almost all the creatures are computer generated and do not exist except on screen, apart from a few special ones made by Jim Henson’s creature shop. The Dinosaurs not only speak Saurian languages, but some speak several human languages too. That was the only problem - the lip movements seemed out of synch with the voices. The Dinosaurs fly, swim, lay eggs, work machines, pull vehicles and interact with the humans, The animation is good the same team that made the BBC’s ‘Walking With Dinosaurs’ made it, only these Dinosaurs can speak. Apparently, it’s already been a big hit in America, but Sky One has just started to screen it, and it’s on Channel 4 in the UK later this year. So, I was forced into watching it with him. It's ideal for my son, who likes anything about Dinosaurs. This is a world where Dinosaurs have survived to live in peace and harmony, with the human descendents shipwreck survivors.
