Dinosaurs come alive like never before in this costly computer-animated film from Disney. After a breathtaking opening (a dino egg is kidnapped), the film changes style; realistic dinosaurs are given human characteristics and voices. The kidnapped egg grows into an iguanodon named Aladar (voiced by D.B. Sweeney), who is raised by lemurs (shades of Tarzan) on a lush island void of other dinosaurs. When a meteorite destroys their island home in a thrilling sequence, the lemur family and Aladar become part of a dinosaur troop roaming the mainland deserts looking for the lush nesting grounds (shades of the fourth installment of the Land Before Time series and Fantasia). Disney's usual mix of modern language (one lemur calls himself "a love monkey") is present, as is its typical capital punishment law: anyone against our forward-thinking hero (or even disagreeing with him) ends up dead. Curiously, the meanies, a pair of carnotaurs following the group, are nameless and voiceless. This more realistic approach might have been a bigger wow, as in the BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs, which looked extraordinary with only a fraction of the budget. The complexity and scope of Dinosaur's visual scale is impressive, and group shots and a point-of-view angle are stunning. Rated PG for general intensity, the film should be a favorite for the 6- to 11-year-old set. --Doug Thomas

 Sub-par, badly-aging Disney outing September 8, 2009
Brian A. Schar (Menlo Park, CA United States)

"Dinosaur" has long been forgotten by most people, for good reason. This movie may have been cutting-edge technically 10 years ago, but the CGI work just doesn't hold up technically by today's standards. Still, that doesn't matter a whole lot; kids aren't picky about that stuff. But the technical aspects aren't the major problems with the movie. "Dinosaur" simply fails to engage adults or children (in our case, our 2 year old) at all. After an asteroid strikes the ocean a few miles from our heroes, who manage to not die, they walk around a while until they find a herd of migrating dinosaurs a few miles away from them. The asteroid is never mentioned again and has no bearing on the rest of the movie at all. The dinosaurs walk around a while, engage in predictable and cliched plot points and dialogue, and then it's over. Finally. This movie was a big waste of time for our family. If your kid is really into dinosaurs, he or she may like this, and it would be worth a rental for you. However, it lacks the writing, cleverness and fun that distinguish the top tier Disney movies.

My child loves it. I bet he has watched it 100 times already. He is 5 yrs. old.
Great Dinosaur Movie May 26, 2009
J. Alderson (Oviedo, FL USA)
My 3 year old son loves this movie! He wants to watch it over and over again. To be honest, the movie is so good, I'm not sick of it yet (even after seeing it 30+ times). If you have a kid who's into dinosaurs, then this movie is a must. Buy it now and enjoy it together!
 Entertaining May 25, 2009

My husband and I were surprised at how entertaining this movie is. It's a little beyond our two year old but we were delighted that we had a break from elmo and monsters ink. The graphics are pretty cool!
It's Just "Okay" April 26, 2009

I bought this for a friend's little boy as a Christmas present because he loves dinosaurs. I thought the animation was well done. There's a good, subtle, morality theme going on about acceptance and kindness that I'm sure kids will pick up on. I don't feel it was necessary to have a triceratops talking jive...and switching back and forth between male and female genders in speech. But I doubt a 5 year old will mind. Overall I give this a "B" for kids entertainment.
