Found this wonderfully animated ad for the first Dinotopia book.

It was directed by the late C. Martin Croker of Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Brak Show fame. Seeing this ad makes me wish there was a proper animated adaptation of the Dinotopia books.

Swoop [Transformers] vs. Skybax [Dinotopia]

Best Fictional Pterosaur Tournament: Round 3A, Poll 2/8

Swoop [Transformers]

Skybax [Dinotopia]

Voting ended onMar 10, 2025

Propaganda (if any) under the cut! Please be civil, and feel free to reblog!

Propaganda for Swoop [Transformers]:

"Most of the dinobots (yes, I know he's not a dinosaur, yes, it bothers me too) are difficult to get along with and don't like to listen to others but Swoop is actually pretty chill. He talks in third person and is surprisingly cute for a giant robot."

Propaganda for Skybax [Dinotopia]:

None submitted.

I wonder if skybax riders ever scratch a spot so well that they get silly faces from their partners?

Oh boy did elementary school me have a crush on Will Denison from Dinotopia. He got to fly around a socialist utopia on a giant dinosaur that was also his best friend! Anyway, I found barely anything on Tumblr's heinously bad search function (definitely none of the pics that made 8-year-old me swoon) then hyperfixated on raiding James Gurney's excellent blog for material so I could make a lil tribute post.
