Jeremy had to do some research for a Natural History Test
for school, so he headed to the La Brea Tar Pits and the
George C. Page Museum, with his friends Wally, Shades
and Mario.
When they were leaving, they came across Nick and his
gang, who were looking for trouble. They escaped from
them by hiding behind a fence, where they found a large
hole . On closer inspection they found a large Tar Egg in it.
Of course they had to touch it and guess what, it hatched!
Boy were they surprised when a large green Dinosaur
came out of it. After the initial shock, they found out it was a
friendly Dinosaur and that it could understand what they
were saying. But what to call him? After a few silly names, a
bus passed close by with an advert for the city of Denver. So they decided to call him Denver, plus
they wanted to keep this friendly Dinosaur, but where?
Initially they hid him in the Pool House at the bottom of Wally's garden,
but soon his sister found out. So they then made the old
school gym his home, with the help of Casey.
Little did they know that Morton Fizzback a music
promoter had seen the Tar Egg hatch and that he
wanted to capture Denver and use him to make
money. He created a diversion to get the kids out of
the way and kidnapped Denver and by the time the
kids found out, it was too late. They didn't even know
where to start to looking for him. That was until Wally's
sister found a poster with Denver on. It was a 'one night
only' Rock Concert starring Denver.
The kids went backstage while Denver was pushed
onstage to a crowed auditorium. He
was a hit, they loved him, but not only that Denver loved it too. He went around the stage with a
guitar and the crowd went wild. Meanwhile the kids had been spotted by Morton Fizzback and
were ushered away by his goons.
After the show Morton got scared about being found out (about kidnapping Denver), so he
decided to get rid of him to a scientist. This scientist wanted to experiment on
Denver with a team of colleagues and was imprisoned in a cage. But
not for long, as Denver made friends with a little girl
who's grandfather then set him free.
Denver then used his Dinosaur instinct to find his way
back Hollywood and the kids. He was just in time to
save them from Nick and his gang. They then
embarked on lots of adventures.
Denver can even show them where he came from. By
touching pieces of the Tar Egg it can magically transport
them back in time to see that era.
Denver (voiced by Pat Fraley)
He loves eating Potato Chips and is a friendly Dinosaur that can
understand English. He is supposed to be keeping a low profile, but
runs around Hollywood without a care in the world. It seems that the
residents in Hollywood are not fazed by his appearances and think he is
a person in fancy dress.
Jeremy (voiced by Adam Carl)
He's the brainy one of the group and if there is a dangerous situation
that the gang is facing, he will use his brain to think up a solution. He is
always telling them facts about Dinosaurs etc.
The trouble is he can sometimes over explain things to much and
confuse the others.
Mario (voiced by Cam Clarke)
I think Mario has spent too many hours watching Bill & Ted films, as he
speaks just like them, dude! (which gets irritating after the first few
seconds).
His ego is the size of a planet and loves to brag about how great he is
and envisages himself as an action hero.
Shades (voiced by Cam Clarke)
Shades vies with Mario to be the coolest dude of the gang. Amazingly he
is named after the shades that he wears all the time, I'm sure they have
been welded to his head.
Wally (voiced by Adam Carl)
He was the bravest member of the gang, as he was the first person to
try and make friends with Denver (the others were off) and I would say
Denver's best friend.
The rest of the gang make fun of him (shame on them!), but he is very
practical.
Casey (voiced by Kath Soucie)
She has a crush on Mario, much to Mario's annoyance..
She is a bit of a tom boy and a mechanic, she always carries around a spanner in her dungarees.
He is Wally's Dog and was initially scared of Denver, but he was soon won over by him.
Heather (voiced by Kath Soucie)
She is Wally's sister and accidentally bumped into Denver is their house (after Wally had smuggled him in) and boy was she
shocked.
Once she calmed down she agreed to keep him a secret.
The mortal enemy of Denver & Gang, they are always trying to beat them up.
Morton Fizzback (voiced by Brian Cummings)
A cheap player in the music business. He is always trying to think up money making schemes and does everything on the
cheap.
He sounds remarkably like the comedian Rodney Dangerfield.
