History Film / AdventuresInDinosaurCity

* DarthVaderClone: The film's BigBad Mr. Big, who has the distinction of being an anthropomorphic Dinosaur version of this.

* ViewerSpeciesConfusion: Mr. Big is frequently called an Allosaurus, including by himself, but he has a nose horn like a Ceratosaurus.

* VillainLearnsOfOutsideContext: Sort of. Mr. Big ''does'' learn about the remote, but he never comes to the conclusion that he's in a fictional world (like Benedict in ''Film/LastActionHero''), nor does he ever suspect that Timmy and his friends come from somewhere else (see WeirdnessCensor). He just assumes the remote is some kind of magical power. [[spoiler:He ''does'' get zapped into what appears to be another cartoon at the end, though.]]

* TheyFightCrime: Rex and Tops

* IdiotPlot: The story wouldn't have happened if Timmy's parents weren't such lousy scientists. Them jumping the gun and rushing off half-cocked, leaving their child unsupervised, allows Timmy and his breaks to access the lab and mess with the experimental equipment.

The film involves a trio of teenagers, Timmy, Jamie and Mick, who enjoy watching their favorite TV show (the titular "Adventures in Dinosaur City") which features anthropomorphic dinosaurs. Wanting to watch it on a better screen, Timmy, the youngest of the three, suggests that they try watching it on his parents screen in his laboratory.

* TyrannosaurusRex: Guess who?

The moment they turn it on however, a vortex sucks the three into the TV screen, [[TrappedInTVLand and into their favorite television show]]. Upon entering the new world, the trio comes across a flightless Dimorphodon named Forry as well as an anthro ''Tyrannosaurus'' and ''Protoceratops'' named Rex and Tops, Rex and Tops being freedom fighters battling against the dictator, Mr. Big, and his caveman henchmen, "The Rockies".

* InformedSpecies: Tops vaguely resembles an actual ''Protoceratops''. While he has a beaked head, his frill looks bizarre, fitting more for a Chasmosaurus.
