SRNF and a show about dinosaurs isn’t. The show is off the air and if I can enjoy power rangers wild force despite the red ranger being convicted of murder then other people can enjoy this show despite the actor of baby Sinclair being convicted of pedophilia. Actor does not equal work.
SRNF Again, I looked it up. He is not a pedophile. The charges and the allegations were dropped he was never convicted. Therefore you are accusing him of something he was already cleared of.
There is a nice story by Arthur C. Clarke just like this. Long after global ice age which destroyed entire human civilization, evolved inteligent creatures from Venus come to the Earth and find a box hidden by the last of us on the top of a mountain right where glaciers devoured final part of the land. In a box is a recording, the only artifact remaining. It is studied by generations of Venusians as an evidence of our habits, our culture and biological features. At the end of the story it is revealed that this is a recording of Walt Disney movie with Mickey Mouse from the beginning of XX century.
You know what's fascinating? When the actors have a meltdown, the head-operators imrovise the mimics accordingly. This has to be such a FLAWLESS cooperation between actor and operator... you don't see stuff like that anymore.
But to be fair there is also another person operating the other parts of the head like the eyes and eyebrows. Nash isn’t doing those, he’s doing the mouth, arm and voice.
It blows my mind that this was actually a show. I remember when it premiered. But still, mindblowing. I hope those suits had active cooling in them. It looks like torture.
No, you can see near the end of the video, the actress inside the Dinosaur Mom was asking for air and someone went and sent fresh air with a type of fan or something.
Yeah, some sort of pump transferring fresh air into the suit. Totally believable. Those suits look about twice as stifling as an animatronic suit from FNAF! And considering they have the springlock suit...
"Active" cooling, rather than... cooling? What kinda "Active" cooling would you like them to have? Airconditioning boxes or a big 240mm fan spinning around inside the cramped suit?
You shouldn't be so condescending. Active cooling refers to a cooling mechanism that involves the transfer of heat to a recirculating medium. i.e. Through a fan that recirculates air. Passive cooling involves the transfer of heat via the recirculation of a medium that is not "actively" moved by a mechanism.
Antony Quigley why are you acting like a jerk? All he said was he hopes the actors had something to make them cooler so they weren't so hot, and here you come out of left field acting like a complete ass because he used a technical term instead of being vague.
I wrote on another location just now how it had a kind of Elaine May..a jewish family humor..especially with grandma, and of course with pop and his buddy Roy, a tie with the Honeymooners.
Whitmire let me come watch for a couple days and what struck me is puppeteering under the Baby was SO UNCOMFORTABLE. They crammed that large man into small spaces. If I were him I would've demanded breaks more often. One of the days I was there the crew had to leave set for a bit and they left Clash locked inside the "stroller" which was unbelievably cramped. But there was really no choice because it would take so long to take the thing apart and get him out and then put him back in and reassemble, so he just had to wait in there :(
Soko Nonetheless, his techniques and style for puppet design helped inspire it. Saying that he had little involvement in it is like saying the Romans had little involvement in the US Highway system; technically true, but would we may not have that if the Romans hadn't done it first.
FreedomFiend There are a lot of puppeteers and puppet designers who's faces and names we may never know yet Jim Henson is mentioned ALL the time. Even with things he isn't directly linked to. Kinda like the Steve Jobs of puppeteering.
JorgeAraujo97 this is because of all the little motors build inside the animatronic head. It’s hardly controlled by a single person alone and requires a lot of experience
ZeroPoint Black As I don't watch the show, it would be best to keep comments like that off of RUclips. You could have just said, "I don't like the show." Instead of ranting like you did. Please show some respect, and refrain from posting comments like this again.
Just the fact that you actually have these props in front of you instead of a green screen or a guy wearing a green suit makes it even more amazing. I hate everything is cgi these days
I know right? I wish they would have used puppets and props to make Iron Man fly through a wormhole in space to destroy an alien mothership with a nuclear missile.
I expected an actual meltdown like breaking equipment, swearing, crying, maybe even a bit a police some sad backstory about pushing a child actor to the breaking point
CGI killed off this sort of stuff, and animatronics, shame because Jim Henson and his like created some amazing things. I'm glad stuff like the Muppets and Farscape stuck with old school effects instead of going CGI.
boko harem because they are real. They were put down after the finale because the execs didn't want to fork over the money for their retirement that they promised.
I miss this show so much, the baby is what sold it to me back in the 90's. I also loved the dad's boss who screams his name out every time. "SINCLAIR!!!"
Man that last episode was dark. As a kid when it first aired it didn't really hit me. Then I watched it again when it was on Netflix and I was like holy crap.
Kevin Clash is the same man who voiced and puppeteered Elmo until 2014. I read his book "my life as a furry red monstor". He also worked on captain kangaroo. I have to say Baby from "The Dinosaurs" was my favorite character. 😁
One of my favorite shows as a kid. Amazing how real they still look in 2018. Kids now will never get to see something as great as this. Truly was the Golden Era for all entertainment.
Came back here after listening to Defunctland. One of the puppeteers for Baby Sinclair was on and said this kind of thing happens ALL THE TIME on sets like this. Puppeteers are always playing around, practical joking and ad-libbing. It's wonderful.
matrixvalnar because movie producers think they need to dazzle the audience with "cutting-edge" effects. but i agree; jim henson especially was a master at his craft, and i'd say that his creations absolutely beat the computer graphics today.
Here's one good reason: If you were to watch this show in 4K or even 1080p, it would look way more fake and wouldn't complete the illusion. Back then, 480p CRT televisions would hide all the imperfections and make it look realistic.
I can see why this brought me so much joy as a kid, they're all having so much fun on set. I remember this show being one of the few highlights of my day, whenever I was allowed to watch TV.
It's a really nice thing that something which made me that happy as a child was produced in a giant laughter and such fun. Seems this series was positive thing all through. Want my childhood back right now.
Lol 😂 the Baby’s singing that’s Amore 0:28 🎶When a tip a tipa dee that’s amooooore when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that’s Amore🎶🎶 0:51 🎶That’s Amore..That’s AMOOOOOOOOREE🎶🎶🎶
This is even more impressive that upwards of 4 people are operating these characters (A puppeteers, puppeteer's asst., a voice actor, and a Waldo operator) , in sync, at any one time, even when improvising.
There was no need to have the voice actors coordinate, though. The costumers could use their own voices and the real voice actors do voiceovers to video later.
Because, so many people operated one puppet was sadly why this type of performance was deprecated. They were faking so much fluidity because, the technology didn't exist convincingly. Maybe once Robotics gets really good hopefully it will return. A.I can also aide in functions that required tons of people reducing it to 1 to 2 operators if we were to bring it all back today. That's why it annoys me when people get mad at A.I "taking their jobs". Most people have zero understanding of what goes into making the modern world function and the fact that it takes so many people to operate and pay which makes everything exceedingly expensive the more complex these services and industries get. People ruin everything with larger and larger demand and the expenses to continue operation. Hopefully A.I can help us run our world more cost affectively.
lost it at the part where Sinclair said “No!” and then turned his head away from the camera. I don’t know why, but it made me laugh so hard. 3:17 is when the moment happens.
omg i love this, as funny as it is, the director made me laugh too everytime i heard him get more pissed. but my favorite is the head turn, "no" part. cant stop laughing.
This is clearly either the cast and crew playing a joke on the director OR it was a bit of off-colour fun onset to break the monotony. Either way this is freaking hilarious. Best part comes at 3:09 - 3:12. Loved Dinosaurs growing up and Baby Sinclair was always the best.
Goofing around between takes like this is really common with actors when it's been a long day and the scene needs high energy. I worked on a bunch of sets right after college as a production assistant and 2nd asst director and saw this a lot. The tired crew is always ready for a laugh, actors feed off that crew laughter and that helps to keep things energetic.
Man, I remember watching this show as a kid! It was absolutely amazing! So unique and entertaining. I am so thankful to those who created it and helped bring it to our T.V's!
Kanína_Zając yes some was CGI but arguably the most famous animatronic scene in a movie that was widely loved by viewers and critics is the scene where the kids are hiding in the kitchen and the raptors come in to get them
Wow! To see them be candid and lifelike even between takes is really something. I’m amazed-to think someone was in the costume while another was a puppeteer controlling the expressions is hard to imagine-So fluid and coordinated
TheTruthTeller Callouts I also once watched a video of people dancing on a coffin while setting their vaginas on fire. That was good too. Not quite porn, but it was crotch hot. I also like seeing people with metal poles strapped to their crotches and banging other metal poles with them. p.s. I love your videos.
From the description I was expecting the actor to jump up and start smashing up the set. Total opposite of what happened. Clearly the actor was enjoying playing baby for the last time and was being mischievous
I love quality puppetry, and by the looks of it everybody on set was having a blast being a part of it. Nowadays it seems like those kinds of privileges are long gone due to the easier and cheaper CGI and flash alternatives.
CGI isn't cheaper, no chance. B-movie horrors do practical effects because to achieve realistic looking CGI it costs big bucks. CGI is hard to get right, look at CGI in any indie movie production - it's always terrible.
My nephew reminds me so much of baby. He gets so mad when I try to kiss him or hug him and I shout “not the mama!” in my best baby voice 😂 this show has such a special place in my memories as a kid. It’s so funny how so much of the unit went over my head lol
How funny of a show that was back then...the cast and crew had a lot of laughs while making the show. I'm sitting here laughing at this video 24 years later..:D
lilYomi when you say that you discredit all the talent and CGI that goes unnoticed, CGI isn’t all bad, just bad CGI is, it’s just another tool in the toolbox. If you use it right the audience either doesn’t notice, or is so into the story they don’t care.
@@Chrispbacon94 no CGI still is not the same as real effect and it wont be. It has its place sure. Today this show would be 3d and it would be no where near as good.
Man! I watched this as a kid and I would always act as baby.... now looking at it and I’m seeing how good the puppets were! This video is awesome... thanks!
It sounds from the way everyone was interacting that everyone was on edge. The director in particular sounds like he's just getting pissed. I've talked with people who have to work on tv shows, and not even ones where you have to get in awkward positions and only see what you're doing through a monitor while trying to control a puppet. Tensions run high. There comes the time where you're caught in between, "I want to get this over with," and, "I just don't are and I don't want to anymore."
KT926 you've just got to love RUclips comments. You're ALWAYS gonna find someone who just quotes exactly what's said in the same video you just watched and just throw "ROFL!" And "LOL/LMAO!" with a bunch of Xs and Ds Just liking the video does the same exact thing as just saying "ROFL XDXDXDXD!!!1!12"
I wrote those lines in because they were my favourite parts and I put the ROFL and XDs because I was in fits of laughter the first time I watched this video. I think liking the video isn't expressing my thoughts enough

I was there and I shot it with my little camcorder. I'm the one shaking the camera because I was laughing so hard.
ET
Ed Tannenbaum thank you for the video
Well, um, i think I'm a bit late, but funny vid
Never too late to appreciate for good stuff
That was an awesome show growing up as a kid. Still have a couple episodes on VHS. Thanks for the video!
Thanks 👍 #childhood
4:00 the actor calls out for air. They literally had to use a fan to cool her down. I can't imagine being in one of those for hours
Him*
I can see why this brought me so much joy as a kid, they're all having so much fun on set. I remember this show being one of the few highlights of my day, whenever I was allowed to watch TV.
It's a really nice thing that something which made me that happy as a child was produced in a giant laughter and such fun. Seems this series was positive thing all through. Want my childhood back right now.
Robin positive my ass, did you see the final episode?
Yeah real positive, at least until the final episode
I'm still amazed by the quality of these puppets!
Yeah the seem to have been.... augmented :)
I was in my 40's when this show aired. IMO it was one of the funniest shows ever made. Truly hilarious.
It’s amazing to see that kind of work being done with very little or no post manipulation. The puppeteers were amazing.
I used to watch this show! 🦕🦖
It’s depressing how it ended
I used to watch it on vhs back in the day oh my childhood miss it so freaking much
@@darthvader2241 yes ._.
@@cheyannebecker281 the app Disney plus just added the show
@@erinmefford8041 I know and I heard and unfortunately I don’t have Disney plus account sadly but I like to see how they used to make them come alive
X'D "And.."
*Does a 180 headspin*
"NO!"
This is why films like *”The Dark Crystal”* will *_always_* look good... the creature shop at Jim Henson Studios are *_incredible !!!_*
orion khan and Labyrinth
Secret of nihm
Dark crystal
Heavy metal
The hobbit
So should Clash of the Titans (1981)
The Witches and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (both 1990).
The Thing and Ghostbusters also Have some of the best practical effects
Lol 😂 the Baby’s singing that’s Amore
0:28 🎶When a tip a tipa dee that’s amooooore when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that’s Amore🎶🎶
0:51 🎶That’s Amore..That’s AMOOOOOOOOREE🎶🎶🎶
I should've realized Baby Sinclair and Elmo have the same voice actor.
ikr
Lmfao. I love the 25 yr old animatronics... Kinda creepy how well they could control them.
Jack of the Realm Demigod there are people inside of it...
costumes and puppets, not animatronics. simple is better
Animatronics too. Like 3 people working each character.
Ed Tannenbaum They have amazing reaction times
Yep, the faces for example where remote controlled by another person. This does not make this any less impressive as they had to sync all of it.
One of the best shows ever. Still holds up and still insightful.
This is even more impressive that upwards of 4 people are operating these characters (A puppeteers, puppeteer's asst., a voice actor, and a Waldo operator) , in sync, at any one time, even when improvising.
There was no need to have the voice actors coordinate, though. The costumers could use their own voices and the real voice actors do voiceovers to video later.
Because, so many people operated one puppet was sadly why this type of performance was deprecated. They were faking so much fluidity because, the technology didn't exist convincingly. Maybe once Robotics gets really good hopefully it will return. A.I can also aide in functions that required tons of people reducing it to 1 to 2 operators if we were to bring it all back today. That's why it annoys me when people get mad at A.I "taking their jobs". Most people have zero understanding of what goes into making the modern world function and the fact that it takes so many people to operate and pay which makes everything exceedingly expensive the more complex these services and industries get. People ruin everything with larger and larger demand and the expenses to continue operation. Hopefully A.I can help us run our world more cost affectively.
3:16
" AND ! "
" NO ! ! ! "
Trying not to laugh....
GOD DAMMIT xD
this show looks hilarious! I can't wait for it to come out....
Me when someone try’s to take my picture
Corey Shelp lol, your like 24yrs too late.
+BriefcaseBlues I'm just glad there doing a show about talking dinosaurs that's really refreshing original idea...can't wait to see it...
I was born around the time this was filmed, August 1993.
"No no dont.hold.me back!" Omg i lost it
J Logan same
Hearing the baby's voice and visioning Elmo makes it still funny
Brent W same voice actor sooo
Merci you misunderstood the comment. Shrug
Izzy8u I didn't. I understood
lost it at the part where Sinclair said “No!” and then turned his head away from the camera. I don’t know why, but it made me laugh so hard. 3:17 is when the moment happens.
omg i love this, as funny as it is, the director made me laugh too everytime i heard him get more pissed. but my favorite is the head turn, "no" part. cant stop laughing.
This is clearly either the cast and crew playing a joke on the director OR it was a bit of off-colour fun onset to break the monotony. Either way this is freaking hilarious. Best part comes at 3:09 - 3:12. Loved Dinosaurs growing up and Baby Sinclair was always the best.
C21L01 Basically Baby Sinclair's actor was cranky after a whole day of shooting.
Goofing around between takes like this is really common with actors when it's been a long day and the scene needs high energy. I worked on a bunch of sets right after college as a production assistant and 2nd asst director and saw this a lot. The tired crew is always ready for a laugh, actors feed off that crew laughter and that helps to keep things energetic.
It sounded to me like everyone was getting upset, so he burst out into this to lighten the mood.
I always loved it when the Dad Dinosaur had to take care of the baby and the baby would scream “Not the Mama!!”😂🤣
I miss the 90's and shows like this! :D
amethyst0285 90s were ok
We all miss them.
amethyst0285 me too
What you meant to say was:
I miss the 80's shows!
Cause 90's shows were HORRIBLE!
Cartoons are better too. Spiderman, xmen, batman, beast wars transformers. Oh yeah. 90s are way more creative than today.
I'm a 31 year old man, and my brain still refuses to believe that baby isn't real, even after watching this video.
Charles Foster Kane i just made 29 and i still believe they are real lmaooo but did they die in the last season somone on here said they did?
38.
⏲️ 🪰 when you get older.
Man, I remember watching this show as a kid! It was absolutely amazing! So unique and entertaining. I am so thankful to those who created it and helped bring it to our T.V's!
I prefer puppets over CGI...
that 80's girl same
that 80's girl ex 1:Jurassic park
Nick Coker
You know they wanted to use animatronics but used CGI instead, right?
It was Jim Henson's puppets that were the shit, his death helped usher in the CGI craze because the go to puppet guy was gone
Kanína_Zając yes some was CGI but arguably the most famous animatronic scene in a movie that was widely loved by viewers and critics is the scene where the kids are hiding in the kitchen and the raptors come in to get them
Damn I remember watching this as a kid brings back memories man.
DOOMSLAYER PRIME for me it brings back nightmares. This show freaked me out. Lol
Tim Scheive this shit creepy af
90s kids all the way!
NOT THE MAMA
DOOMSLAYER PRIME me too! :) I'm actually only in my 20s but we had dvds of a few seasons I used to watch.
I love how you can hear everyone on set laughing, except for i suspect the director, he sounds salty as hell
That's a pretty interesting tune that Baby was singing in the beginning of the video.
"Edelweiss"?
Robert Haworth I have since learned that he was singing Edelweiss, yes haha :) It sounds like there's more than one voice coming out of him.
Taylor Gilligan thats amore
Mack McCordTM thats cause the mother and someone of camera was singing as well
Edelweiss is great for vocal practices for harmonizing with people around you
Wow! To see them be candid and lifelike even between takes is really something. I’m amazed-to think someone was in the costume while another was a puppeteer controlling the expressions is hard to imagine-So fluid and coordinated
ABC should bring back this show after all they brung back The Muppets
They died in the last episode.
+mst3kanita trur
+Piñata Gamer *true
Uh they died
mst3kanita So? they could reboot it.
I really miss this show, I wish they will air this back on t.v. The best show a child can watch, in my eyes
The app Disney plus just added Dinosaurs recently
This is back when TV shows how to studio audience. So the good performers knew how to entertain the crowd. That's what we're seeing here.
the baby sounds like elmo
There's a good reason for that. Kevin Clash played Elmo and baby.
+Ed Tannenbaum and Master Splinter
i didn't even turned the sound on but i immediately thought of Elmo's voice on the baby haha
Actually, that is because both characters (the baby and Elmo) are voiced by Kevin clash.
WERE, Kevin clash was fired from Seasame Street a few years back after it became known that he likes to touch little boys,
I re-watched this, and I laughed even harder. My face is red, and I almost passed out laughing.
No lawsuits please!
Once, I saw a zebra being raped by a Rhino. That was the best.
TheTruthTeller Callouts I also once watched a video of people dancing on a coffin while setting their vaginas on fire. That was good too. Not quite porn, but it was crotch hot. I also like seeing people with metal poles strapped to their crotches and banging other metal poles with them.
p.s. I love your videos.
You're ruining Catbug for me
Noah Diamond holy shit😂
I looooooooved this show when I was a kid!!!! Now at 29 years old it’s still a guilty pleasure. 😂
"You better be glad she was holding me back!"... Still awesome.
2:13 meltdown happens😂😂
From the description I was expecting the actor to jump up and start smashing up the set.
Total opposite of what happened. Clearly the actor was enjoying playing baby for the last time and was being mischievous
This is it I'm not doing it again this is it this is it I'm not doing it again
*calls him son of a something* Hey who you callin a son of a-why don't you come over here and say that to me!
I love quality puppetry, and by the looks of it everybody on set was having a blast being a part of it.
Nowadays it seems like those kinds of privileges are long gone due to the easier and cheaper CGI and flash alternatives.
Jupiter9099 flash?
It's a shame that practical effects have, for the most part, gone by the wayside these days...
CGI isn't cheaper, no chance. B-movie horrors do practical effects because to achieve realistic looking CGI it costs big bucks. CGI is hard to get right, look at CGI in any indie movie production - it's always terrible.
Those suits are like an oven.
Not to mention its a pain to get off and on every time you need to eat or go to the bathroom.
My nephew reminds me so much of baby. He gets so mad when I try to kiss him or hug him and I shout “not the mama!” in my best baby voice 😂 this show has such a special place in my memories as a kid. It’s so funny how so much of the unit went over my head lol
I lose it at 3:17 every fucking time. XD
rebeckymo And @ 4:08 Lol
Exorcist
Fran’s puppeteer and the whole crew versus Kevin should be the subtitle of this video 🤣
How funny of a show that was back then...the cast and crew had a lot of laughs while making the show. I'm sitting here laughing at this video 24 years later..:D
All the effort they put into this. It's incredible.
And..NO!!
3:16 *baby’s head spun back*
ROFL 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man, these costumes and puppets still look insanely good.
I prefer these old methods over CGI
lilYomi when you say that you discredit all the talent and CGI that goes unnoticed, CGI isn’t all bad, just bad CGI is, it’s just another tool in the toolbox. If you use it right the audience either doesn’t notice, or is so into the story they don’t care.
@@Chrispbacon94 no CGI still is not the same as real effect and it wont be. It has its place sure. Today this show would be 3d and it would be no where near as good.
Companies relay way to much on CGI.
Look what Christopher Nolan has done with very little CGI.
Man! I watched this as a kid and I would always act as baby.... now looking at it and I’m seeing how good the puppets were!
This video is awesome... thanks!
It sounds from the way everyone was interacting that everyone was on edge. The director in particular sounds like he's just getting pissed. I've talked with people who have to work on tv shows, and not even ones where you have to get in awkward positions and only see what you're doing through a monitor while trying to control a puppet. Tensions run high. There comes the time where you're caught in between, "I want to get this over with," and, "I just don't are and I don't want to anymore."
Walt Rimmer did the baby actor really had a meltdown
Whomever told you that wasn’t kidding. Trust us, we know. lol
"0:55 Moooooorrrrn aaaayyy!!"
"NO! *turns head" 3:16
ROFL XDXDXD
KT926 amore
LMAO
KT926 you've just got to love RUclips comments. You're ALWAYS gonna find someone who just quotes exactly what's said in the same video you just watched and just throw "ROFL!" And "LOL/LMAO!" with a bunch of Xs and Ds
Just liking the video does the same exact thing as just saying "ROFL XDXDXDXD!!!1!12"
Troy Roebuck And there’s always going to be somebody complaining about the smallest thing.
I wrote those lines in because they were my favourite parts and I put the ROFL and XDs because I was in fits of laughter the first time I watched this video. I think liking the video isn't expressing my thoughts enough
Sounded like baby was humming edelweiss from the Sound of music in the beginning
He was
These puppets blow my mind. Wow, it’s incredible.
The real meltdown 3:21 "COME ON!!!....AND....ACTION."
The 80’s and 90’s were the peak of our culture. In 2003 it all went to crap.
I love this! thank you so much for uploading it!!!!
This is quality entertainment that you just don’t get anymore... I miss and love this show! 🦖🦕😂😂😂
My favorite TV show growing up as a kid. Loved it when the baby smacked the dad.
