I'm A Dinosaur: What can I say? It has a very cool art style it is quite cartoony, especially the Gorgosaurus episode or even the Smilodon one, I was introduced to it by the Velociraptor episode. Though yeah a few nitpicks here and there like how dinosaurs cannot pronate their wrists, but still a good art style. Also it's quite a good beginner art style for those who are wanting to draw cartoony dinosaurs.
The Land Before Time: Ok, yes ik ik it's a film in 1988 but it's still a cartoon, as it still follow the same logic as one, but I think grittiness of the original probably amped up this art style. I mean yes it's very inaccurate now and highly outdated to today's standards. So that's why it's in 2nd place
Gigantosaurus: Ok this the first and probably only cartoon that uses CG models on this list. But it makes up for it in terms of the designs I mean all of the designs are quite well made especially the main characters, but I think it lacks the charm of The Land Before Time, and I'm A Dinosaur due to them being made in 2D while this Disney Junior show is made in 3D, maybe if it where to be made in 2D it could be higher up on the list.
Dinosaur King: Yeah could've ranked it up higher because it is made by the company who made that blue hedgehog who has 2 very good films, and plus the dinosaurs have this mix of cute and cool, the cutesy art style go towards their chibi forms and then their other forms are cool looking. But this is an anime and idk if it could be considered a cartoon.
Dinosaur Train: Ok I did sorta lie on the 3rd one, as Dinosaur Train is another 3D animated show, but why I placed it in 5th place is because of Troodon of which is no longer a valid genus, maybe if they called something else like Stenonychosaurus then I could've ranked it higher.
The Good Dinosaur: Ok I was originally gonna include it on the list but it is a cartoon, I don't art the style I think the designs are decent, but yeah Arlo looks weird especially that one scene in the film.
So, that's all of the cartoons ranked are the any that I have missed? Please comment down below and I am NOT including dinosaur related episodes from shows that aren't about dinosaurs.
