Denver, the Last Dinosaur is an animated series produced by World Events Productions and Groupe IDDH [fr]. It was nationally syndicated throughout the United States in 1988 with reruns airing until 1990. In the show, a dinosaur hatches from a petrified egg in the modern era, and is befriended by a group of teenagers.[3] Episodes often focused on issues of conservation, ecology, and greed.[4]
The show ran for two seasons, as the dinosaur boom that had followed the film The Land Before Time (1988) waned until Jurassic Park (1993), causing viewership to drop. The series received a recommendation from the National Education Association.
A CG-animated reboot, which originally went under the name Denver and Cliff, premiered on M6 on August 27, 2018.[5] The new series was produced by Zagtoon.[6]
