Prehysteria!

It was released direct-to-video in 1993, just 19 days after Jurassic Park. The director fully admits he made Prehysteria to piggy-back off the success of Jurassic Park. And it worked because DANG, I loved this movie as a kid. They ended up making 2 sequels as well. I think the series deserves a reboot to now piggy-back off the success of Jurassic WORLD. I just made a 35 min deep-dive video essay about Prehysteria. If you'd like, you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/KFumaM7JNl0

I’m looking for a movie I had on VHS as a kid. It was basically just a boy learning about dinosaurs through a narrator explaining them to him. The film was in English and I’m American. I feel like the boy’s name was in the title, like “Jacob’s Dinosaurs” or something. It would have been from probably no later than 1995 but I could definitely see it having been from the 80s. 2D animated. The dinosaurs would appear in the real world as the narrator was teaching the boy about them—for example to illustrate how large they were by showing them next to his house. I don’t remember there being any sort of plot. Just the concept of dinosaurs being described to this kid, up to their extinction. I don’t think it was a very long movie. It’s even possible that it may have been a short film that played before another kids movie, which I know would make this even more difficult…

Anyone know?

EDIT: I just remembered an important detail. I THINK the movie was introduced with…it’s hard to describe. A woman (not animated) with dark hair sitting on a bed. It’s one of those goofy looking 90s kids show sets, like from bear in the big blue house or something. Her whole thing was that she reads you a bedtime story, I think. So she’s like “now I’m going to tell you about Jacob’s Dinosaurs…” Maybe she was the narrator, or maybe she just introduced this little dinosaur movie. I feel like she was wearing a sleep mask that was pulled up above her face.
