Quotes:

Huffenpuff: [pointing to map of island shaped like a bikini-clad woman] To find the singing dinosaur, we have to sail under the "Bridge of Bardot", then we sail under the "Low-Low Bridge-ida", all the way around until we arrive at the singing dinosaur's island home; "No-Bikini Atoll".
Cecil: NO-BIKINI ATOLL? WOW!

Very funny!

I remember renting this show in some video retail areas .It's very funny for a kids cartoon. There are a lot of neat characters, such as the illegal eagle and the humbug and many more in this Bob Clampitt cartoon!
