Creator of ‘Dinosaurs’/Notorious B.I.G. mashup on how he came up with the idea

If you were a fan of the sitcom “Dinosaurs,” which aired from 1991 to 1994, we have good news for you. They’re back! Well, sort of. A Canadian filmmaker released a mashup of scenes from the hit show timed perfectly with The Notorious B.I.G.’s song “Hypnotize.” Bet you never expected to hear that combination! Unusual as it may be, the video has gone viral on YouTube with more than 4 million views so far. The show’s main character, Earl Sinclair, appears to be rapping along to the lyrics and dancing in perfect harmony to the song.

Benjamin Roberts created the video that everyone can’t stop talking about.
He told Yahoo News that he dreamed up the prehistoric idea after he noticed that Sinclair’s moves mimicked those of a rapper. Roberts told Yahoo News he picked Sinclair because “He’s just so expressive.” It took him 30 solo hours to edit the video, and his hard work definitely paid off. When asked about his Internet fame, he told us, “I spend a lot of time on reddit, so I was excited when I saw it go viral there. It’s also been shared about 250,000 times on Facebook, which I thought was pretty cool.” So what can we expect to see next from Roberts? “I'll definitely try something else, but no idea what yet. You can't force these things.”
