Three teenage friends, Timmy [Omri Katz], Mick [Shawn Hoffman], and Jamie [Tiffanie Poston], love to curl up with a goofy animated show called Dino Saurs, where dinosaurs and cavepeople share adventures on a cartoon Earth. One afternoon, eager to watch on a bigger screen, Timmy—the youngest of the trio—suggests they try the lab’s giant TV, which is hooked up to an experimental device meant to open a portal to another dimension. After they pop the videotape into the device and power it up, a swirling vortex pulls them through the screen and into the world of the show itself.
