The Adventures of T-Rex (T-レックス (T-rekkusu)) is an animated TV series that aired in syndication from September 14, 1992 to January 8, 1993 in North America. The show features five musical Tyrannosaurus brothers who played to sold-out crowds as a vaudeville group for the Dragon company. The company was owned by the beautiful and wealthy Myrna. The band members were also secretly fighting crime as "T-REX," masterminded by Professor Edison. The show is notably an American, Japanese and French co-production between Gunther-Wahl Productions, Créativité et Développement (C&D), and well-known anime producers Kitty Films and Madhouse. It lasted only one season.
Plot Set in a world of anthropomorphic dinosaurs, brothers Bernie (blue), Bruno (pink), Bubba (green), Buck (yellow) and Bugsy (purple) were born with special powers to help fight crime. Each brother's special power was related to a specific part of their anatomy; Bernie's legs, Bruno's arms, Bubba's tail, Buck's mouth and teeth, and Bugsy's telekinetic eyes. In the day, they make up a singing and Comedy Quintet group that perform at the Dragon Company in Rep City. The group rode out on their Rexmobile to battle "Big Boss" Graves, crime kingpin of Rep City, and his evil organization The Corporation which also consists of Little Boss, Adder, Madder, Shooter, Cuddles, Axe, and the Doctor. Kid sister Ginger was part of the singing group, but didn't know about her brothers' secret identities.
One of the show's other noteworthy elements was giving the T-Rexes imitation celebrity voices: Jack Benny (Bernie), Art Carney (Bruno), Bing Crosby (Buck), George Burns (Bugsy), and Jimmy Durante (Bubba).
