A French-American co-production, Denver the Last Dinosaur is an animated series from the 1980's (as if you needed to be told) about a group of Los Angeles teens that find the last dinosaur egg in existence and teach the hatchling, Denver, all about skateboarding, rocking out on guitar, and generally being totally radical. It lasted for 52 episodes and then was promptly forgotten, along with some of the other remnants of the late-80's / early 90's dinosaur mania. The little nostalgia for the series is mostly because of that kick-ass theme song. Fun fact: most of the cast consisted of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles voice actors (Cam Clarke, Rob Paulsen, Townsend Coleman, even Adam Carl who voiced Donatello in the second live action film) which just adds to the late 1980s period piece feel as these actors arguably did the totally radical angle better than anyone else.Zagtoon produced a reboot of the show as Denver & Cliff.In 2023, World Events appointed Curiosity Ink as the property's licensor while in April of that same year WEP and Curiosity Ink announced that it would develop an animated feature film based on the IP.

Speech-Impaired Animal: Denver perfectly understands English from his birth, but initially just makes animal-like vocalizations and grumbling, with the occasional intelligible word. As the series goes on however, Denver seems to learn how to say more words to people, and in later episodes, he can even say simple phrases & sentences, similar to Scooby-Doo.

Show Within a Show: Apparently in the universe of Denver, there was a crossover show between Lion Voltron and Vehicle Voltron. You get to see about a second of it in one episode when a TV is changing channels quickly. (Keep in mind that Denver's production company, World Events Productions, Events, is the same group that dubbed Voltron for Western audiences.)

comment
Have a Gay Old Time: The lyrics "he's my friend and a whole lot more" would nowadays imply that the subject is a romantic partner. This being the 80's and both the singer and the subject of the song being male (not to mention the latter being a dinosaur as well)...

comment
Rhymes on a Dime: Nick, a bully who likes to pick on the main group of boys, usually speaks in rhyme for some reason. Dr. D, a zookeeper who appears in some episodes, also sometimes speaks like he's rapping.

Four-Man Band: The boys: Only Sane Man: Wally, the most "normal" guy to balance out the antics of his friends. The Smart Guy: Jeremy, the smartest and most eloquent guy who focuses on his schoolwork. Casanova Wannabe: Shades, who tries to act like a cool kid all the time. Butt-Monkey: Mario, a cocky goofball who's often the butt of jokes.
