YMMV / Dink, the Little Dinosaur

• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • "Uncle Longbeak" has Flapper idolizing his eponymous uncle only to find out he's not as cool as he seems. Years later in 2000, the same thing would happen to Petrie in The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire (although Longbeak never does anything antagonistic like Pterano during the first act).
  • Amber's voice actress (Anndi McAfee) would eventually go on to play Cera in most of the The Land Before Time sequels.
• Fridge Horror: Scratcher, the friendly Deinonychus who "chose" to be vegetarian, never shows up after his debut episode ("The Gentle Hunter") despite becoming good friends with Scat and promising to come back. That could imply that he died off-screen from malnourishment because as an obligate carnivore, a dromaeosaur couldn't sustain himself on a vegetarian diet any more than a lion or wolf could.
• The Scrappy: Scat is generally disliked for being a little nuisance.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Shyler is, in fact, male, but you'd be forgiven for thinking he's a girl due to his sweet and shy disposition, as well as his cutesy, high-pitched voice.
