The Media Empire That Time Forgot: The Story of Cadillacs & Dinosaurs

[@fr2331]

I attended several inking workshops by Mark Schultz in college. He wasn't in love with the name Cadillacs and Dinosaurs but he said that it was a godsend when it came to making the toys. He said one of the first prototypes they showed him was horrible, basically a box with wheels and he had little to no say in it. But since Cadillac was in the title for the cartoon, GM got involved and said absolutely not and they had to produce a much better looking toy. He also said he was amazed at how close the animation and production schedule cut it to airing the cartoons. Some were just finalized hours before it was set to air.

[@btetschner]

Very interesting.

[@jonathantillian6528]

One of the best beat-em-up arcades games ever made.

[@borrellipatrick]

Main reason I clicked on video. Because the game is known to be very badass

[@AdamBladeTaylor]

I love the arcade game. Played through it more times than I can count. It's just so much fun. Also love the show. I'd love to see it get remade. It would be awesome to see a more modern "mature" animation of it that better fits with the original material. Though honestly for a cartoon, it was epic.

[@WorldWithOEnd]

So great via Mame

When you refill your gas tank, you're putting dinosaurs into your Cadillac.

[@comicbookfanboy2614]

That's a good one.

@@RIVALContentJammerz I understand. But the commenter you replied to was probably just joking and as a famous clown said, "if you explain the joke, it's no longer funny."

[@chameleonhrt]

Editor's Note: When you refill your tank of gasoline, you are pumping petroleum, which is derived from fossilized flora and fauna, into your motor vehicle. This may result in your car, if a Cadillac brand automobile, having traces of a dinosaur, a form of fauna from centuries ago, inside of it. We are sorry for the confusion.

The concept art for Fallout 1 (man/women in blue jumpsuits over green mutants/mist) was inspired by Xenozoic tales according to the artist. I always felt there was a lot more inspiration from this in the Fallout universe then its original creators ever let on (I know the sources they publicly stated), there is a very high degree of overlap in plots, ideas, style.

[@FoucaultEffect]

I'm more perplexed as to why anyone would dislike a Toy Galaxy video. Dan and his team fire out gold on every video. I've seriously had the history of my childhood explained on levels I never knew I needed. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Galaxy brain move, like the guy who made Helltaker claims he did it solely for the reason of "I like sharply-dressed demon girls" Now he has an infinite supply of fanart of precisely that.

[@paranoyd70]

Mark Shultz really is a fantastic artist that doesn't get enough acclaim, imho.

[@TECHNOIR]

Reminds me of England's Ron Smith (Chopper/Judge Dredd) in style.

No. Please, just no.

[@rykerblade_snb]

One of the best things about my childhood was that my mom would usually take me to hand me down stores like the goodwill and savers instead of the big box stores, and it was in places like those I would find these “cult classic shows” if you will. I had the first VHS tape of the first 2 episodes of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and it was in my regular rotation of tapes I watched

[@blahlbinoa]

Once again, another show that I thought was some weird fever dream I had when I was a child. I saw a few of these episodes then it just vanished!

[@rumrunner8019]

Same here. I remember it well and I also remember it was always interrupted for some baseball game or something, just like Schultz said! Same with an anthology show called "Two-Fisted Tales"; it took me googling it to realize it wasn't just a false memory and that yes, it had existed, lol.

[@razorburn645]

Me too but the name stuck with my 6 year old mind.

[@Clay3613]

Clever naming, Jack Hannah is the name of America's most famous zookeeper and animal conservationist... I had this for PC, could never get past the first level.

[@tetravega567]

Yeah, I was gonna comment this too.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

If you never played the Capcom game and only ever played the Sega CD or PC game I could understand why you'd have bad memories. I'd love to be able to play the arcade machine but I'm willing to bet there probably less than 100 out in the wild still. I keep meaning to play it on emulation as that's pretty much the only way you can these days.

[@Polar_Bear_Ron]

I vaguely remembered the cartoon from childhood, for years I thought I’d imagined it! This spawned my love of red American motors!!

[@Pewpewpew182]

Still love the arcade game. The cartoon deserved so much better. Thanks for covering this Dan!

[@anodyneghost]

I remember watching this cartoon as a kid, and always wishing they had done more with it. It was such an insane premise that really was everything I wanted. There was an arcade downtown that had the game and this made me nostalgic for the place. It was such a weird hole in the wall place but they had the best games!

[@Eastsid3]

Oh this show is on Tubi? Thanks for the heads up! I've heard so much about this series - toys and games but got lost in my youth. Always been curious about it.

[@dreamguardian8320]

Learning the history of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs makes me think of the comic series of Elf-Quest.

[@bowwing333]

Honestly though. Very strong bait for a kid, especially if the chocolate has a print of something amazing looking from the show.

[@brebeaa]

I was OBSESSED with this show. Hit me at just the right age. Still love it.

[@ethanstatler1827]

I didn't even know most of these old shows existed. Thank you for all the shows, and movies that you've discussed, and showing the newest generation what we've been missing out on. As some people say, the past must be preserved.

Oh my God yes! That's almost the exact same cast I always imagined except it was Ernie Hudson as Mustafa and Salma Hayek as Hannah.

Great video Dan! I was 22 years old and an avid reader of Death Rattle and Xenozoic Tales. I am 57 now and had no idea about anything that came after those titles. Well done.

[@pamelamays4186]

Cadillacs & Dinosaurs sounds like the name of a rock band. There was a weird animated series by the name of Van-Pires. The premise was a group of teens who hung around a junkyard got turned into various vehicles, whose purpose in life was to battle a group of vampiric monster vehicles who had an insatiable thirst for motor oil. Definitely the weirdest cartoon I had ever seen.

[@JimmysALilGirl]

The first time I heard about Cadallacs and Dinosaurs was when I took $5 to the laundromat to play some games. It was 1993, so they must have just got the thing. I beat the game, took the change home and that was the last I had heard of Cadallacs and Dinosaurs...until today...almost 30 years later. I remember having fun and I was able to beat it with less than $5, which was weird because I had never beat an arcade game before or after that, lol. I had no idea there was a show, comic and candy bars...I just thought it was a crazy Japanese arcade game.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

It's funny because I was more aware of the comics and I guess the cartoon even though I never saw it live I don't think then the arcade machine which I have never seen in my entire life out in the wild. I keep meaning to play it on MAME as finding an actual physical machine at this point is probably extremely unlikely.

[@Chalk0073]

I'd really like to see a deep dive on how many times Tyco reused those Dino Rider molds

[@ericturczynowsky3243]

Dan, I'm glad you really took those comments to heart and started taking this stuff more seriously by wearing a jacket and talking about vehicular safety...retro toy, TV cartoon shows, and Videogames is serious business

[@MikeJackEatsHeat]

The arcade game is frickin amazing!

[@Michael-590]

I wish the arcade game was made available on a compilation release or something.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

You can get it in a lot of arcade emulator compilations. I have one and it is still fun.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

@AT Productions That and that super sweet alien vs predator game are definitely top of the list of games I'd love Capcom to release but they probably never will or simply can't due to legal nonsense and licensing.

[@kechidonick]

Don't forget The Punisher Beat'em up.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

@@kechidonick What's even worse is literally the only home version we got of that was a very meh genesis/mega drive port. I would say it's better than nothing but nah it really isn't.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

@AT Productions Yeah I know the one you're talking about the giant Capcom shaped one. Unfortunately it was crazy expensive and I don't think it was released in the US as far as I'm aware which is probably how they were able to get away with it. I doubt we'll ever see it come out in any other official capacity considering that was a real one-off sort of situation. Again technically you're right (and I knew that when I was writing it) But like I said considering the circumstances I just don't count that.

[@Rodrigo_Vega]

The world did done dirty on this franchise. How something so awesome can be so woefully underappreciated. We need new movies and games based on it with everything modern budgets and technology can afford.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

The 90s was a weird transition time for toys and cartoons. All the kids of the 80s were outgrowing animation as it was seen as very 80s and everyone was scrambling for live action stuff like Power Rangers, BeetleBorgs, and captain power.

[@Rodrigo_Vega]

@@HeadCannonPrime I think the show would have done much better had it come up a bit later when adult animation started gaining mainstream acceptance. Today they cold do something like Castlevania and have the dinosaurs actually eat someone every now and then. I think even kid-friendly Camp Cretaceous today has more of a body count than the Cadillacs & Dinosaurs cartoon. The 90s were kind of lame in that regard.

[@lutherheggs451]

@@Rodrigo_Vega the 90s? Thats children's cartoons in general......It was a CHILDREN'S show not a neckbeard show....Just like every other CHILDREN'S cartoon...Nobody died in He-Man, Nobody died in G.I. Joe. Rambo, Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos etc..... It wasn't a "lack of violence"....Kids didn't like it PERIOD....Thats obvious by it only being on for 13 episodes, it wasn't done dirty. It was literally nobody wanted to watch it, Kids didn't want the toys.....They don't keep doing things that have no interest behind them and wildly killing people wouldn't have made it interesting to kids...

[@Rodrigo_Vega]

@@lutherheggs451 It's not just about not dying, they couldn't do anything back then. People complain about "censorship" today, but 90s Spiderman literally couldn't even punch a bad guy. The show wasn't disliked at all. It was awesome and clever and had everything anyone likes. I was a kid and I loved it I have at least one of the toys. (I'm from SA, so we didn't get ALL the toys), I know other people close my age who watched it and had some toys. It probably wasn't liked _enough_ for being such an expensive show. The art and animation really was top-notch, so it was probably on the expensive end of cartoons for a show that didn't sell amazingly in merchandise. At least compared to other shows with much cheaper animation but extensive and extremely popular toys of the time. The toys were manufactured by Tyco, because they had the rights to the Cadillac brand, but they specialized of course in cars and made rather weak and not very varied action figures. If they had had done something like Kenner, and gotten a line more similar to Jurassic Park's the story might have been quite different. Besides I'm talking about the franchise, not the cartoon. It wasn't a "children's" franchise to start with. That's... exactly my point. The comics have politics, ecology, spirituality and seedy characters. They _made it_ a childrens cartoon because back then all cartoons were expected to be for children. But that's no the case today and we wouldn't have to kneecap the story or expect it to rely on toy sales to stay afloat today. That's what I'm saying.

[@Homeschoolsw6]

Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, rad AF.

Hard to find even if you’re looking pretty well sums up this franchise. When I stumbled across a TPB of Xenozoic Tales at the library, I decided it must have fallen through a portal from another, cooler universe.

I have some animation cells of the Cadillacs & Dinosaurs Saturday morning cartoon in my animation cel collection, as well as a beautiful hardbound book of the original Xenozoic series. I still love this story concept, all these years later. And Mark Schultz's original drawings are right up there with Frank Frazetta, in quality in my humble opinion. Love the series. Fun fact: The Sega CD Cadillacs & Dinosaurs game by "Rocket Science Games" had work done on it by Elon Musk, who worked for the company at the time.

The only thing missing from this overview is that, in a weird sort of way, Mark Schutlz's comic wound up helping create one of the richest people on the planet today, even if only incidentally. You see, that Sega CD & PC game by Rocket Science Games that wasn't very well received? One of the guys who did some of the programming for it was a no name college intern named Elon Musk. Yeah, THAT Elon Musk. It's a small little world, isn't it?

It probably helped more that he had a dad who sent him to computer camps and bought him an extremely expensive PC when he was six years old.

[@TheLandofObscusion]

@@toddjones1480 That's why I said it was "incidental". I never said that Cadillacs & Dinosaurs directly lead to Musk's later success, but he did work there as part of an internship during college, which in turn helped lead to him graduating. After that, it was all Musk, but I wouldn't be surprised ifhe did put his time at Rocket Science Games on his resume early on, which showed that he knew what he was doing professionally.

My first experience with XenoTales was getting a comic book at DisneyLand of it as a kid that had a carnivore dinosaur that was basically being held as a pet being blamed for brutal nightly mutilations that was being done by another meat eater that snuck into the city and I remember how parents had a gigantic fit on the news over it when they saw all the mutilations/implied mutilations in the comic and Disney did a big apology thing an ensured they would remove all relations to it.

This is why I love this channel, You learn something in every video. I had no idea Cadillac and Dinosaurs was a pre existing comic called Xenozoic Tales. Here I thought it was just another early 90s cartoon that had a toy line and arcade game. The comic sounds very interesting and the artwork is phenomenal. I might even track down one of the first collected omnibus or which ever collected graphic novels are available. Back in 1993 I remember seeing Cadillac and Dinosaurs on tv but I wasn’t interested in watching the cartoon at the time. Thanks to Dan I now know it’s available to watch for free on Tubi and I definitely plan to check it out since I missed it the first time around.

George RR Martin would like to speak with you.

[@magnumcornetto]

From what I understand, what Schultz been working on isn't exactly a continuation, but more like a "standalone" story set in the times before Jack and Hannah were exiled from the City in the Sea. Supposedly, he'll start to work on a continuation (and possible finale?), maybe in the form of an illustrated novella, after this one is released. It's taken forever for this new graphic novel to come out, I remember it as if it was originally set to be released in 2019, then 2020, then the pandemic probably caused more delays, we are halfway through 2021, and no word yet on when it's coming out.

By the time this cartoon was airing ,even though I was already a fan of the comic,I didn't watch it. I was in my late teens and sleeping in each Saturday. But in 96 I was in a local Dollar Tree store and they had gotten in a case of the action figures from Tyco. I bought a full set of the figures for myself,couldn't pass them up at a buck a figure. Then bought every Hannah Dundee figure they had. Cause at the time they were considered rare and selling for 15 a figure. Sold off the extra Hannah figures and used the profits to fund my trip to a convention.
