I *adore* anything vintage dinosaur. There was just something so charming and whimsical about those depictions, as scientifically inaccurate as they were. 

In the modern day they appear almost fantastical- like some mythical beast straight from an ancient manuscript. 

I kind of miss those interpretations. I understand that, today, we focus greatly on what is closest to the real truth of ancient life, and I believe that is the correct path to take. But there's nothing wrong with enjoying an older, more liberal aesthetic.

It's partly for that reason that I like to include 'vintage' dinosaurs in the fantasy stories I make up.

What about you?
