Development and original project cancellation
Dino's Re-Historic World was conceived by Bear Bones animator Daniel Alexis de Guzman and staff member Yail Darlene in 1984 while working at Mala Miles Productions. The series was conceptualized as a look at the stone age through both dinosaurs and cavemen. The studio passed on the series due to there being too many series in their production pipeline at the time.

Project revival
Dino's Re-Historic World was revisited by Darlene and de Guzman as an "emergency replacement series" for Winx Club, which went on hiatus in 1996. As Winx was the #1 series that aired on the Bear Bones Lineup at the time, most affiliates that carried the block did not want to "eternally rerun" the series until the third season's premiere in 1997. Darlene, wanting to take the spot of her brother's series, revisited the concept of the series as a comedy about dinosaurs and cavemen living together, taking inspiration from The Flintstones as well as the ABC series Dinosaurs. Tribune Entertainment, who, alongside Claster, agreed to distribute the series for 65 total episodes, set to premiere in the fall of 1996.

During the first season, Claster and Bear Bones renewed the series for a second season, which ran for 24 episodes between September 1997 and May 1998.

Animation services for the series were provided by AKOM in Seoul, South Korea, Animation Enterprises in Hong Kong, Fil-Cartoons in the Philippines, Mr. Big Cartoons in Australia, Shanghai Morning Sun Animation in Taiwan, and StarToons in Chicago. The opening sequence was animated by Bear Bones Australia.

Home media releases
Lionsgate Home Entertainment released both seasons on DVD between 2007 and 2009. These releases are remastered from the original 35mm film prints, and feature audio commentaries, new cast and crew interviews, original network promos, and an optional Spanish audio track. Lionsgate released a complete series set in 2011, containing all the previously released DVDs and an exclusive bonus disc. The set was reprinted in 2015 in shelf-friendly packaging, but otherwise are largely reprints of the same content as the previous releases.
