That T-Rex needs to be like at least 3 times bigger.

I love the New Victory, they do the cutest stuff. Can't wait until my son is old enough to start going to the theater!

It is a sad day when you do not recognize a Zoolander quote.

Also the only way this could have been better is if one of those little kids ran towards the dinosaurs while everyone else was running away, and everyone thought "oh how precious they are trying to save their friends!" But in reality this tiny menace would be attempting to climb atop the dinosaur to ride it triumphantly while it devoured everyone else.

These guys came here over the summer and scared the living hell out of my four year old. She knew it was all fake, but somehow that didn't make it any less scary.

Oh man if I were one of those dinosaur puppeteers I would love so much to knock the cameras out of everyone's hands and stomp them to dust. EXPERIENCE DIRECTLY, PUNY HUMANS!!

I want to entertain the idea of buying, renting, or making a costume/puppet like the ones in NYC video. Who would sell, rent, or instruct me how to make one?

I'm surprised they didn't have "tips" bags hanging over their shoulders.

Oh my god, my husband bought me tickets to this thing when it comes to Long Beach, CA in February and I am SO EXCITED. Maybe they'll let me sit with the kids.

I caught it.

Of course, that could be the world's smallest T-rex like the phone.

You know what you need?

Orange Mocha Frappacino!

You don't smoke, right?

Wrong. Stupid monkees getting it all wrong. Monkees are warm blooded, so EVERYTHING is warmblooded.
