Dino Boy in the Lost Valley, also known as Dino Boy, is a series of action/adventure segments of Space Ghost & Dino Boy, produced by Hanna-Barbera (H-B) for CBS' Saturday morning children's programming. It ran from 1966 to 1967, airing 18 episodes.
After parachuting from a disabled plane (presumably by his parents, although this isn't clarified), Todd finds himself an orphan and in a mysterious preshistoric valley. While alone, he is attacked by a sabretooth tiger, but is suddenly saved by the caveman Ugh, beginning their friendship.
In 2016, DC Comics reimagined the series in Future Quest and Adam Strange/Future Quest Special.
The entire original series has been released on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
