Help identify name of movie please

edit

It's a movie I recall seeing as a kid, so most likely from sometime in the mid to late 80s. It had a bunch of midgets in it, and a pirate(?) I think?, and they were traveling through time, and they pull along this boy through his bedroom wall.. and uh.. that's all I remember. Hehe. Does this sound familiar to anyone? -- œ 05:55, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dinosaur egg movie or special

edit

I recall seeing either a movie or a TV special that involved a dinosaur egg at a museum and a woman. The woman was a paleontologist or museum curator and would flash back to scenes set during the time the egg wasn't a fossil. What was this? — Melab±1 09:16, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous (1998)? Tevildo (talk) 09:41, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking of Walking with Dinosaurs, but none of the episodes exactly match the OP's question. Alansplodge (talk) 10:25, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Was it a documentary or was it fiction (or a combination of the two)? We have a list at List of films featuring dinosaurs that you might want to look through. There are obviously a lot, but most are very recent; if you know that the film you're looking for is at least five years old, you can trim the list down quite a bit, actually.
