Re: Dinosaur TV Week



what's REALLY obscure in this film is the happy little musical number in
the middle with Ringo and all is EXACTLY THE SAME MUSIC as the happy
little ewok song at the end of RETURN OF THE JEDI (prior to the sp
ed)-sans lyrics of course

John Williams wrote both.  I beleive he's even credited.

The Chiodo Brothers (LAND OF THE GIANTS 2) did the dinosaur sculpt as I
remember it.
