In fact in the end credits of every episode, a PSA-like announcement is heard - "You don't have to be a DinoSquad hero to help save the earth.
Like with fellow-DIC show Stargate Infinity, it shoehorns educational elements such as global warming, recycling, and life lessons very frequently in order to meet certain FCC E/I criteria, and so aren't even handled well at that.The heroes in their Dinosaur forms have their voices deepened, which sounds rather silly to the ear.Poor at worst and passable at best voice acting.The show itself uses almost every single dinosaur-related trope or cliche you can think up just to name a few:.
DINO SQUAD EPISODE 25 SERIES
For some reason, the series thinks anything mutated will be referred to as a dinosaur, including sharks and up to plants, which obviously aren't even animals. As for non-dinosaur related factual errors, one episode had a baby gorilla with a tail. Most raptors were relatively small and covered in complex, birdlike feathers. All of the raptors (properly known as dromaeosaurs), such as Veloci's and the show's mentor Ms. Also while this wasn't known until 2014, the spinosaurus form is depicted as a long-legged runner, but Spinosaurus is a short-legged swimmer. Fiona's Spinosaurus form has a fin instead of a bony sail to it. Rodger's Styracosaurus form has three horns and skull shape which makes it look more like a Triceratops. Caruso's Stegosaurus form has five tail spikes, teeth in the front and no beak, which real Stegosaurus didn't have (it had four spikes, a beak, and cheek teeth limited to the back of the mouth as their name suggests). Its teeth are also exposed, when studies of its skull suggests they were covered by simple lip tissue to prevent them from trying out. The real Tyrannosaurus Rex has only two fingers and kept its hands inwards. Max's T-Rex form has three fingers and inwards facing hands. Despite being an "educational show", the Dinosaurs featured in this series are ill-informed:. Victor Veloci is one of those "I wanna revert the world because I'm a specific creature" kind of villains. Buzz is the mohawked coward who's "different" and is obsessed with video games. Caruso is the loner who only cares about his fame and appearance. Fiona is the caring, extreme-sports-loving tomboy who thinks her friends are more important than her family. It rips-off several other DIC cartoons, like Street Sharks and Mummies Alive!, even Extreme Dinosaurs, (which DIC produced as a co-production with BKN), alongside other cartoons such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Awful and cheesy theme song that keeps playing over and over, making it irritating to hear. Generic yet wasted concept of teenagers transforming into powered up dinosaurs, not to mention it is one of those "Go to School and Save the World" shows. The animation looks cheap and ugly, even by DIC's standards.
