Plot

Though Adventures in Dinosaur City predates We're Back, the two films make good companion pieces. The "live action" characters-a bunch of precocious pre-teens-are zapped back to prehistoric times. We've established that the kids idolize a group of animated TV-series dinosaurs, so guess who they meet in the flesh (so to speak)? In the manner of the "Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm" segments of the various 1980s Flintstones revivals, the kids help the dinosaurs solve Jurassic-era crimes. It's all a great deal of fun, but at 88 minutes it may be a bit too wearing for very small children. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Adventures in Dinosaur City is a 1992 television film directed by Brett Thompson. The story revolves around three teenagers who are transported into their favorite TV show, "Dino Saurs".

Plot

The story involves a group of kids, (Timmy, Jamie and Mick) in their early to mid teens who enjoy watching their favorite TV show, named "Dino Saurs". Wanting to watch it on a better screen, Timmy, the youngest of the three, suggest they try and watch it on his dad's screen in his lab. The moment they turn it on, a vortext sucks the three into the TV screen, and into their favorite show. Upon entering the new world, the trio comes across the character of Forry, a Dimorphodon who can't fly. Although reluctant at first to help the kids, his knowledge of Dinosaur World proves useful, as he guides the three kids to Tar Town, where they join up with Rex and Tops, two dinosaur freedom fighters willing to ignite a revolution against the villain, Mr. Big, and his evil caveman pawns, "The Rockies".

The film was made in the heyday of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and appealed to the same demographic. The film has a SNES game based on it called Dino City. Dino City 2, a planned followup (also for SNES,) incorporated plot and character elements from an unproduced sequel to the original film; the game was not completed past prototype phase and was not released.
