Denver Dinosaur on Ice

Denver Museum of Nature & Science has worked with Carmichael Lynch Minneapolis and Smoke & Mirrors New York to launch “Dinsosaur”, a silent movie featuring a brontosaurus skating on a frozen pond. The Denver Dinosaur spot features a brontosaurus crashing, struggling, pirouetting, and ultimately toppling back to the ice, accompanied by Tchaichovsky’s ballet classic, The Nutcracker. The spot ends with a superimposed graphic: “Dinosaurs. Ancient Fossils. New Discoveries. Coming this winter to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.”
