 | I don't know how others can say the graphics are bad. IMO all the creatures are lifelike, almost like you took the video.
Anyway my 3 year old son loves this movie. It is his favorite DVD he likes to watch. If he is up late running around crazy and wont lay down, I just put this in and he will sit down and watch the whole movie. Laughing, constantly saying "Dungadunga" (his saying of Dinosaur), and saying "Ut O" when something happens. I would say he watched it about 40 times so far. He cries when I put the DVD back in the case. By the ending he is asleep or fighting it. This movie got him into Dinosaurs.
What I am saying is your kids will LOVE this movie.

| Following in the footsteps of such animated classics as "Toy Story", "Dinosaur" continues Walt Disney's tradition of exciting and fun computer-animated films.
Aladar (D.B. Sweeney) is a young Iguanodon who joins a group of lemurs on an island after surviving a T-Rex attack and being scooped up by a Pterodactyl. However, a meteor shower destroys their island home, forcing Aladar and the lemurs back to land and other dinosaurs. Soon, the group encounters a large herd of dinosaurs travelling towards the nesting grounds, which contain fertile land, along with plenty of food and water.
Aladar and the lemurs decide to join the herd, but they soon meet Kron, a fearsome dinosaur who is the so-called leader of the herd. Many of the other dinosaurs complain that Kron pushes them too hard and they cannot keep up. They are befriended by Baylene, a no-nonsense Brachiosaur and Eema, a feisty Styrachosaur, but Aladar becomes enamored with Neera, a female Iguanodon who happens to be Kron's sister. Needless to say, there are some tense moments between Aladar, Neera, and Kron. Neera is not interested in Aladar at first, but as their journey continues, she begins to like him more and more.
Kron fears that Aladar is trying to take his place as leader of the herd, so they have many confrontations along the way. Also, large Carnators have been tracking the herd. Will they reach the nesting grounds before the Carnators get them? Will Neera realize how much Aladar cares for her?
This is a good movie for both children and adults. My 5 and 3 year old children like this movie very much, and they ask to watch it frequently. Although there are some "scary" parts, such as the meteor shower and the battles with the Carnators, overall, it is still appropriate for young children. The animation in the movie is very good. The dinosaurs look very life-like, and the scenery is extremely vivid. The story is well-conceived, as well. The length of the movie is just right to hold a child's attention for the entire film, too. I recommend this movie for parents and children alike. The children will enjoy all of the fascinating dinosaurs, while the parents will be able to spend some quality time with their kids. |

| I would have prefered to be able to give this movie two ratings: one for adults and one for kids. It seems a lot of reviewers who disliked this movie had expected a movie that would interest adults, while many people who gave it good ratings did so because their kids loved it. I watched the movie once and thought it a solid 3 stars because of the good animation but simplistic acting. My 3-year old son, however, LOVES the movie and would give it 5 stars if he could type. If your kid loves dinosaurs; get this movie! But don't expect to watch and enjoy it more than once as an adult. |

| A dreadful bore, "Dinosaur" doesn't have a single original moment in it. Everything is something we've seen somewhere before. The politically correct story chugs along to a predictable ending, without one moment of novelty or surprise. Children who haven't seen many movies might enjoy it, but adults will wish they'd found a better way to spend their time. |
