StockDinosaurs
#119297
Stock Dinosaurs....well....this troper remembers he watched the Disneyan "Robin Hood" with all the humanized animals when he was a young boy ....and had fun imagining to substitute thse animal species with dinosaurs! But which dinosaurs? Of course the stock ones! Almost ''all'' the stock dinos are present in his list (note that this happened slighty before the "Jurassic Park Mania", and thus some today stock dinos were missing because they weren't popular yet).
#119298
1) Prince John / King Richard: '''Tyrannosaurus rex''' (obviously)
#119299
2) Sheriff of Nottingham: '''Allosaurus''' or '''Megalosaurus''' (because they are similar to T.rex but smaller...)
#119300
3) Sir Hiss: '''Coelophysis''' (because its snake-like neck and its former reputation as a cannibal)
#119301
4) Robin Hood: '''Deinonychus''', because Robin was cunning, agile and also a good fighter like this dinosaur (So Yeah, Velociraptor wasn't stock yet!)
#119302
5) Maid Marion: obviously another '''
Deinonychus'''...
#119303
6) Lady Cluck: '''Oviraptor''' (because its chicken-like look and also the mental association with eggs)
#119304
7) Alan-a-Dale: Ornithomimid, precisely '''Gallimimus''', because its name just means "imitator of the rooster"! ("gallo" is the Italian word for cock).
#119305
8) Little John: '''Iguanodon''' or '''Plateosaurus''' (both big, strong and weaponed with thumbclaws but herbivores, thus "good guys")
#119306
9) Friar Tuck: '''Protoceratops''' (apparently humble, but a strong fighter if provoked, as seen in the famous skeleton with Velociraptor).
#119307
10) The Soldier Rhinos and the Executer: obviously '''Triceratops'''.
#119308
11) The Trumpeter Elephants: '''Parasaurolophus''' or '''Corythosaurus''', because of their "trumpet-like" crests....
#119309
12) The Prince's carriage-pulling Elephants: generic Sauropods.
#119310
13) The Drummer Hippos: '''Ankylosaurus''' or '''Euoplocephalus''', because they could play the bass drum with their club-like tails! (and because of their rather low and bulky frame like a hippo's as well)
#119311
14) The Tournament Crocodile: '''Baryonyx''' (because Spinosaurus wasn't well-known at the time)
#119312
15) The two Vultures: Trigger as '''Rhamphorhynchus''' (because of its dragon-like look), Nutsy as '''Archaeopteryx''' (because it superficially appears similar to the former, but less menacing!)
#119313
16) The Archer Weasels: '''Troodon''' (as weasels are the more slender and cunning version of foxes in AnimalStereotypes, so Troodon was the more intelligent but less-weaponed cousin of Deinonychus/Archer Robin!)
#119314
17) The Rabbit Family: '''Hypsilophodon''' (one of the smallest and most harmless herbivores)
#119315
18) Toby Tortoise and his Father: '''Stegosaurus''', because its reputation as slow and dumb-witted.
#119316
19) The Church Mice: Obviously the tiny '''Compsognathus'''.
#119317
20) Otto the Dog: '''Pachycephalosaurus''' (because its "wrinkled" face recalled that of the old blacksmith...)
#119318
21) Robin's Stork Disguise: '''Quetzalcoatlus''' (So Yeah: nobody knew at that time
it really was stork-like !!!!!)

This troper recently took an Italian test with "Name two dinosaurs" as extra credit. She was about to use StockDinosaurs, but realized everyone else would, so instead she averted the trope and used Utahraptor and Acrocanthosaurus. The teacher
lampshaded her dinosaurs and mentioned that she'd taken the troper's word for it that they were dinosaurs.

playing with the Stock Prehistoric Animals (not necessarily dinosaurs) when the Ice Age movies started coming out this troper has hoped for an Andrewsarchus voiced by
