Hour-long pilot episode. A group of children, Wally, Jeremy, Shades, and Mario, visit the La Brea Tar Pits and discover an egg which hatches to reveal a friendly dinosaur, which they name 'Denver'. However, the gang must protect Denver from the ambitious Dr. Funt, and the evil rock concert marketer, Morton Fizzback, who aspires to use Denver to make a profit.

Denver follows Jeremy to his job at the store, where he hides in the storeroom and eats chips.

Wally borrows his sister Heather's camera, so that he and his friends can make a video starring themselves.
