"64,000,000 Years Ago" is a wonderful showcase of dinosaurs from 1981. It's therefore right smack in that weird era when pop culture was just starting to catch up with the then-still-kind-of-new "wait, maybe dinosaurs weren't big dumb failures" theories. And I love every minute of it, but especially the bullying, cock-blocking(!) Tyrannosaurus.
The animation is by Bill Maylone and it looks incredibly familiar, like I'd seen this footage used in another dinosaur video. The only other Maylone animated shorts I can find (and they are both delightful) are a surprisingly stressful woolly mammoth short and "Catapult Through Canada". If anyone remembers an educational short where a Gastornis pounces on a Hyracotherium, let me know.
