Denver The Last Dinosaur was a cartoon series produced by WEP from 1988 to 1990. It is a story about a group of teenagers who befriend a friendly, green dinosaur named Denver living in their backyard in modern-day California. The show blends elements of adventure, friendship, and science fiction led by the enthusiastic and adventurous human protagonist, Jeremy.

The series takes place in the present day and follows the life of a group of teenagers who discover a green dinosaur that cavorts and jumps over rooftops, bouncing and sliding through the city. Jeremy and his friends â Casey, Mario, and Wally â find Denver while they were out on their skateboards. They quickly become friends and take him in, vowing to keep him safe from others who might want to exploit him.

One of the unique features of the show is the way it presents Denver. Unlike other cartoons where dinosaurs are depicted as fearsome creatures or cartoonish creations, Denver is shown as a friendly and playful herbivore with an infectious personality. His mantra, âDenver, the last dinosaur, heâs my friend and a whole lot more,â is the perfect description of his character.

In each episode, Jeremy and his friends teach Denver about the world of humans, while Denver teaches them about his world. Jeremy and his friends take Denver on adventures and keep him hidden from the public. They travel back in time to save the dinosaurs from extinction, visit the future to save Denver's home planet, and explore the depths of the ocean to uncover the mysteries of the sea.

One of the recurring characters in the series is the group's nemesis, Morton Fizzback, a millionaire who is keen on capturing Denver for his personal gain. Fizzback hires various employees to capture Denver, but the teenagers always manage to outsmart them in a series of daring rescues. Despite their continuous pursuit, Jeremy and his team never lose their spirit and their willingness to protect their prehistoric friend.

The show's theme song became an instant hit, and Denver quickly became a fan favorite amongst young viewers. The series stood out for its unique concept, vibrant characters, and overall playful nature. The producers also included educational segments after each episode, where they discussed various scientific topics related to dinosaurs and their history.

Despite its short run, the series was a massive hit and garnered a large following worldwide. The show was dubbed in multiple languages and broadcasted in numerous countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

The voice cast of the show includes Joey Dedio, Pat Fraley, Cam Clarke, and Frank Welker, each delivering outstanding performances that brought the characters to life. The series also featured an original soundtrack with catchy tunes and sing-along jingles that became popular among young viewers.

In conclusion, Denver The Last Dinosaur was a brilliant animation series that captured the hearts of young audiences worldwide. Its unique concept, vibrant characters, and adventurous storytelling made it a fan favorite amongst children during its run from 1988 to 1990. The show's legacy lives on, and it remains a household name to this day.
