One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing (1976)

One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing (1976)

Take some British Style Comedy, Mix in Silly Disney Slapstick, and add some feisty old ladies and some kung fu and you have ‘One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing.’

Lord Southmere smuggles the "Lotus X" out of China, only to be pursued by Chinese agents attempting to get it back. They chase him into a museum where he hides the microfilm containing the ‘Lotus X’ somewhere on the skeleton of a dinosaur. He asks his old nanny visiting at the museum to help queen and country and get the ‘Lotus X’ microfilm before the Chinese agents do.

One plot point leads to another and soon you have the Chinese agents chasing the Nannies who have stolen their truck with the stolen dinosaur through the streets of London.

This film is directed by Disney Veteran Director Robert Stevenson and is sadly only on VHS. This is a marvelous unique movie and deserves to be seen by a larger audience, but if you search you can find this missing dinosaur somewhere on VHS OR  you can now watch it on Amazon On Demand.
