Same here, I watched it over and over and my parents were thoroughly sick of it lol. Luckily I didn't understand movie cliches at the age of three so I loved it.
I was in fact too young when it came out and I was heartbroken that I couldnt see it in cinema but when I got my hands on the DvD, I loved beyond compair in Fact, this movie might be one of the reasons I am studying paleontology right now
James Newton Howard is the composer and is amazing. He’s done Treasure planet, Atlantis, the live action Peter Pan and most recently Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them
I think they just speak different languages Chomper does only speak because he lerned Litllefoot herbevorial language When we see him again in Movie 5 he speaks to his parents like :"Raw raw rawrawraw" and they understand each other I even think the sharptoot got subtitled in that moment!
+Sammyyaam Thinking about it, it makes sense. You're assuming that every dinosaur speaks /one/ language. Obviously that's not a very good reflection of the real world, as we have many different languages. What if one language that was present in that world was something herbivores understand and omnivores understand; this could possibly count for why chopper has both the language of the herbivores and carnivores because he was exposed to both at a young age. This would also make sense of the point made by whoever in this thread about the parents having a different method of vocal communication.
I honestly really like this film. I saw it first when I was very young, and loved it (as I loved anything with dinosaurs), but I saw it recently and it is REALLY DARK. So many characters die in gruesome ways - we see innocent dinosaurs get torn apart by the Carnotaurs (like that one scout) and others dying of thirst (like all those corpses).
it's better quality now than it was back then. The copy of it that I saw originally was so dark and bit blurry, but now it's so much more HD and looks freaking incredible. I also think it's one of them movies that ages well and could get popular again.
Filip Jeglic Probably they mean it in the sense that little kids love movies. You know, playing it again and again until everyone else in the house is sick of it.
I'm pretty sure Disney wanted a larger gross. This came just after Tarzan, which was a more profitable hit, and the investment Disney made in this movie may have meant the idea they expected much more from it.
darwincity First off, I agree. Second, Wrong this film came after Fantasia 2000. Third, Correction. & Fourth, Disney have been trying to get it's audience back. Overall, great comment
+Benjamin Gavrin Yeah, that always bugged me immensely, especially when also taking to mind that Iguanodons were actually a lot bigger than Carnotaurs, so basically there shouldn't be that much of a conflict to begin with, since the main character could easily take one Carnotaur head on.
I remember I saw this in theaters as a kid, and I loved it for some reason. Then I saw Jurassic Park, and then I figured out which is the superior dinosaur movie.
I was 9 when this came out & my best friends mom took us to see it. I loved it so much because at the time there was nothing like it so i then took my dad & uncle to see it which is one of the only times where my dad went to a movie theater ever. My dad was blown away by the CGI merging with real landscape that we bought it on VHS when it was released. It was amazing. Seeing it on Blu ray now, yeah it got outdated but the details are still there & they gave it a nice look to blu ray but man the feeling of seeing that movie, i will NEVER forget! Soundtrack was the best!
Stepping out of the norm, I love this movie. I just saw it a couple years ago and now I don't understand why people hated it. It's wonderful, a classic in my book!
I loved the part where the dinosaurs roar at the Carnataur to get it to back away. The "Stand Together" scene. It totally works, it gives me goosebumps.
I don't get the Critic's problem with how some dinosaurs talk and some don't. The exact same thing happens in The Land Before Time, a film he constantly praises (including in this review) and that doesn't seem to be an issue there. Heck, one of the main characters in TLBT doesn't talk either and acts somewhat dog-like too.
It's called karma. If there are a lot of bad things, bad things stand out more. If there are a lot of good things, bad things stand out less. I like to call it the TTG and SU effect.
the fuck ? no it's not , a great movie for kids it's peanuts. this movie is goos for everybody , there should not exist something like "for kids" , this life aint for kids , I grw up with marvel comics movies and videogames (normal , not kids games) and all that stuff was for mature people , but that's only made my way of thinking more complex better and of course mature
I thought Doug would talk about Dinosaurs starring the Sinclair family & their baby saying "Not the mama" & hitting the father on the head with a frying pan, lol
I don't see anything weird about only allowing some dinosaurs the ability to speak. They're all dinosaurs but they're all different species. We live in a world where humans can speak and dogs cannot even though we're both mammals. It's no different. Dinosaurs don't represent a single species, it's a bunch of related species lumped in a category. Again, like mammals; Bats, whales, dogs, humans, deer, beavers. Dinosaurs; Tyrannosaurus, Iguanodon, Apatosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Velociraptor. I think you get the point.
Dinosaur's the oddball. Though the style is unlike any other disney even to this day, it is considered one of the classics. That would be likely the reason why it was so highly. I also treasured this film for a long time. First cinema watching too, and it did make some of the scenes phenominal, but I was also 5 at the time. The trailer terrified me, but amazed me also. The impact and impression The Egg Travels left on me was staggering, visually and audially. At five years you're too young to hold any prejudice towards the voice inclusion, and you've not seen the character tropes and clichés before. I also do own The Land Before Time, and 8 of its sequel films. I think I even saw it first. It was Dinosaur's incredible visualization the creatures, and also the music, which is phenominal, as well as a natural fascination I get with anything that makes me cover my view of the screen in some way out of scare (this happened when the young Parasaurolophus chased the flying lizard too far into the forest, and you first see the Carnotaur before the big stampede), that drew me in as a child like a hook to bait, and the cinema watch cemented it as my favourite film henceforth. I think it's still true, even in the present day. In fact it's been the film that took me the longest to step back from and take criticism for. Only time I've ever seen Dinosaurs like it since was that Walking with Dinosaurs film in 2013 (I think), which I knew well enough to avoid by then. And the film's first proper act certainly deserves praise. From the perspective of changing the atmosphere and music to make so many shifting moods within one single setting, the film's does it masterfully. I don't often see jubilent festivity smoothly transition to calm and soothing melancholy, then to mystification but with a very resonant gut anxiety and forboding feeling of dread, to climactic, to dead silence, before raw apocolyptic terror is unleashed. Even in disney such a fluid as fast execution of so many different moods is rare. Anyway, that's just some revised thought from somebody who's got a more positive view on the film.
Despite Doug's issues with the movie, I still love it. However, like him, I don't like that one lemur character, but at least he's not constantly in your face and only shows up every now and then.
I watched this movie recently for the first time in years and yeah I still love it. The Carnotaurs were so badass and their scenes were definitely my favorite parts of this movie.
I used to have a big poster of this movie in my room, it was like just a big eye and I also had a complete collection of cards that came with a Disney magazine... The memories!
Having some dinosaurs talk and another be like a dog isn't as odd as you'd think. Dogs and humans are both mammals, and somewhat closely related, we talk and the dogs are dogs.
I did like this movie and kinda still do. My favourite things were the music and the way the carnotaurs were portrayed, switching out the over used t rex who had become less scary and more cool and having these in the movie put forward the idea to me as a kid that "hey there were other big dinosaurs with teeth that can be just as frightening". The one scene I remember is in the cave where they come through the water running down. That wa so actually chilling for me as a child
Oh man, my brother used to watch this movie a lot when he was little. I liked it too, we even had a video game based off it (in which we weren't able to get through the lava level lmao) And you know what? I still like it. Perhaps partially for the nostalgic reasons, but also: the music is beautiful. The background music in the review in particular. I love it.
I remember seeing a preview for this film on a VHS or DVD I'd watch a lot as a kid, and it looked good!...because it was the first 5 minutes where no one talks! That sequence is honestly amazing...and infinitely better than every other piece of the actual film I've seen so far.
All I remember is the epic opening scene. Had that Walking With Dinosaurs feel to it (not the 2013 movie but the old semi-live action movies with no dialogue except for a narrator).
This movie was amazing! The animation was freaking insane! I loved it. Granted, it's been done already, but when you're a kid you don't care. Im kinda sad it didn't do better in the box office.
This is my favorite movie of all time because it taught me how epic films can be, the designs of the dinos and the landscape are amazing and the adore by James Newton Howard is one of the best scores I’ve heard to this day because it almost feels like another character in and of itself. I absolutely LOVE this movie, but I can see where others may say it’s middle of the road. I didn’t watch Land Before Time or Jurassic Park first, I saw this, so I measure those, as well as all movies, really, by the standard of epicness this set for me
the first movie I ever had was a cassette version of Dinosaur. by the time I was three I had seen it round about 50 times and could recite most of it by memory. while I haven't seen it in years, I still love this movie
I watched this movie a lot when I was a kid and I still love it. I have not seen the good dinosaur and it has been for ever since I have seen a land before time, so this movie is still high on my list.
I agree wholeheartedly. I said the exact same things you did a little while before watching this, down to a T. I even used the term, 'jerky leader'. However, there are a few pros that you fail to mention. First, the soundtrack is amazing. So much so, that you use lt in quite a few Disneycember videos. Second, this is Disneys first attempt at CG without Pixars help. It's a notable attempt. And lastly, this is the farthest back chronologically that a Disney animovie or any animovie has ever went. The beginning takes place in 66 MA, before the asteroid hits. The Land Before Time takes place afterward & The Good Dinosaur begins with the asteroid.
The only line I remember from this movie is, "Carnatourus. Two horns and one bad attitude." Granted I haven't seen the movie since I was really young, so....
Whenever we put on the Tarzan VHS we almost never skipped the preview for this movie. I don't even remember when I finally got to see the real thing because that preview was so epic. The Egg Travels remains one of my favorite scores in a movie.
Something about this film really struck me as a child. It seemed really genuine for some reason, idk. Maybe it was just the dinosaurs, because dinosaurs are always a treat, but I felt I could get a new experience out of it every time I saw it. Not a "great" film by any means, but it really stuck with me for some reason.
Mostly I remember this movie because I played the everloving crap out of the movie game. It was just a collection of minigames; there was a puzzle sim, that one where you make more squares on a grid than your opponent, a colour matching game, and a chess game, all with some kind of dinosaur theme. It was very entertaining when I was five.
I love this movie, mainly because I grew up on it and I loved dinosaurs. Just hearing that score again made me tear up, guessing I'm gonna have to get out the old VHS and watch it.
2:46 I agree about that. They also did that in the Land Before Time movies. It's like the herbivores could talk but the carnivores really couldn't. Whenever there were fights with carnivorous dinosaurs in the movies, the carnivores would never talk. And I really don't think intelligence is a factor there. Because there were a lot of intelligent carnivorous dinosaurs. So I really don't understand that.
Let me put it this way; when my family went on car trips, including our cross country moves, my dad would jury rig a mini TV with a VCR player in our car in order to keep us occupied using moving crates and bungee cords. And with three kids under the age of 9 in the car, we had to find VCRs that we had that nobody would complain about because what's the point of a TV in the car if the kids are constantly arguing about what to watch. This film was one of the few that we all could watch that we were all ok with. So I watched this a lot, but even to this day I barely remember anything about it outside of the visuals. I could barely follow the dialogue, even when I got older
I agree if they didn't have the dinosaurs talk it would have been better. Yet despite it this movie is great for it's scary yet unworldly imagery. Great cinematography and music!
I loved it as a kid, but the story not as good as it was then, verses now, that I'm older....but I can say this the CG is still amazing! One of the best CG movie especially since, back then, computer weren't as good.
I loved this movie as a kid. I saw it in the theater and I was basically smiling the whole time. Why? One word: Dinosaurs. When it comes to dinosaur movies, I've always been very easy to please so long as they're walking around in a physical fleshed-out state and the story isn't 100% terrible...~cough~"Jurassic Park 3"~cough~
This movie was my childhood
+William Mcmeekin Your parents could have bought you a better childhood lol
+THEGREATMAX Hush.
Same here, I watched it over and over and my parents were thoroughly sick of it lol. Luckily I didn't understand movie cliches at the age of three so I loved it.
Youre not alone bro
+William Mcmeekin My obsession with dinosaurs as a kid led me to watch this movie a ton. Definitely part of my childhood too XD
Despite Doug's lukewarm reaction to the movie itself, he must have loved the music for it because he uses it to start every Disneycember.
I loved this movie as a kid. But I was pretty young.
same here.
Diddo
+Chase B me too bro
Me as well, in fact my cousin saw the dvd of the film at my house and wanted to buy it from me cause he loved the film when he was a kid.
I was in fact too young when it came out and I was heartbroken that I couldnt see it in cinema
but when I got my hands on the DvD, I loved beyond compair
in Fact, this movie might be one of the reasons I am studying paleontology right now
I still like this movie a lot. The Swedish voices were really good, and the music is amazing!
How could he NOT mention the music?
+4NG3Lx0FxD34TH It seems that every Swedish-dub is better than the original. (Except for The Simpsons Movie)
BirdsElopeWithTheSun Especially if you consider he uses the Song for the next few times in Disneycember
idk
he forgot about mentioning the phenominal music. i found the music to be amazing and timeless
The Fat Dragon Especially since he used the music for the Beginning of Disneycember and continued to used it a few more times
Might be the only thing from this movie that will become timeless...
James Newton Howard is the composer and is amazing. He’s done Treasure planet, Atlantis, the live action Peter Pan and most recently Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them
The music is the only timeless thing about this movie
^^ don’t forget the only good part of bad Shyamalan movies
I loved and still love this movie more than I probably should...
...I collected the action figures and I had three identical plushies of Aladar.
Same here, but I collected the McDonald's toys. I watched this movie a lot as a child for some reason.
Oh man, it used to speak. My name is Alladar
I had the plushies of Aladar, Eema, and one of the Carnotaurs.
The T-Rex's don't talk in The Land Before Time...except for Chomper.
I think they just speak different languages
Chomper does only speak because he lerned Litllefoot herbevorial language
When we see him again in Movie 5 he speaks to his parents like :"Raw raw rawrawraw" and they understand each other
I even think the sharptoot got subtitled in that moment!
I love how the T-Rexes speak their own roaring language. I guess it's because they got very tiny brains
+Juan CL carnivores have a higher intelligence than herbivores.
+Sammyyaam Thinking about it, it makes sense. You're assuming that every dinosaur speaks /one/ language. Obviously that's not a very good reflection of the real world, as we have many different languages. What if one language that was present in that world was something herbivores understand and omnivores understand; this could possibly count for why chopper has both the language of the herbivores and carnivores because he was exposed to both at a young age. This would also make sense of the point made by whoever in this thread about the parents having a different method of vocal communication.
+LiquidPebbles good point but its not that deep

I’m surprised that it’s only PG.
Why are people saying "I liked this movie when I was young" like it's something wrong if you like it now.
I understand what they mean when movie is really bad in reality, but not in case when movie is 'ok' or judged by someone (in this case NC).
Filip Jeglic Probably they mean it in the sense that little kids love movies. You know, playing it again and again until everyone else in the house is sick of it.
Chief Broom Maybe yeah
Filip Jeglic I love it now, I still have it on a vcr
Along with the tv for it, all in good condition
BAYAR3AB3AST Oh nice =)
I don't care how cliché it was. I LOVED IT
The opening sequence of the movie as well as the score are the best things about it.
I remember this movie
It was weird.
I loved this movie!
Ya it is, even weirder that they have a Disney ride based off of it
I loved dinosaurs as a kid, and as a result I bloody loved this film. Particularly the evil ones.
Budget: $127, 500 ,000.
Gross: $347, 800, 000.
Didn't do well, huh?
And not to mention the 5th highest movie in the 2000's. I say it did pretty damn well.
***** your opinion says so, i say it did. It could of been different but i liked the visuals and the story was fine for me as a child.
SThe Teller it really was a good success, especially for its time.
I'm pretty sure Disney wanted a larger gross. This came just after Tarzan, which was a more profitable hit, and the investment Disney made in this movie may have meant the idea they expected much more from it.
darwincity
First off, I agree.
Second, Wrong this film came after Fantasia 2000.
Third, Correction.
& Fourth, Disney have been trying to get it's audience back.
Overall, great comment
“It didn’t do phenomenally at the box office”, this movie was like the fifth highest grossing film of that year
This movie is one of Disney’s underrated gems
This film’s graphics really do hold up after all these years. I watched this all the time as a kid and I still enjoy this film now as I did a kid.
I love this movie. And I really like the Carnotauruses.
Dito
I thougt it was brilliant not to have a T-Rex as the bad guy
+Hendrik Maus yeah, using lesser known dinos was an interesting idea, i liked that
+Benjamin Gavrin Yeah, that always bugged me immensely, especially when also taking to mind that Iguanodons were actually a lot bigger than Carnotaurs, so basically there shouldn't be that much of a conflict to begin with, since the main character could easily take one Carnotaur head on.
+Denis Paulovič But you need to give them credit for getting the Raptors right
Hendrik Maus Yeah, I guess you're right, but still, having the Carnotaurs be like 20 meters long is still extremely dumb.
I actually forgot this movie existed.
So did Disney.
I did too! Nuff said I guess.
I...
1. Forgot it was a Disney Movie
2. That it even existed
+falloutghoul1 Me too man, me too. o_0
I remember I saw this in theaters as a kid, and I loved it for some reason. Then I saw Jurassic Park, and then I figured out which is the superior dinosaur movie.

I still remember seeing this movie as a dinosaur fanatic with my dad. And I got the VHS when it came out and I still have it. Those were good times.
Stepping out of the norm, I love this movie. I just saw it a couple years ago and now I don't understand why people hated it. It's wonderful, a classic in my book!
I still really like it, too. Haven't watched in a while, but now that I've seen this, I might watch it again. :)
I’m waiting for a sequel.
This movie came out when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade and all the kids at school were really hype for it. Dinosaurs are a huge deal when you're that age.
I loved the part where the dinosaurs roar at the Carnataur to get it to back away. The "Stand Together" scene. It totally works, it gives me goosebumps.
I don't get the Critic's problem with how some dinosaurs talk and some don't.

It's called karma. If there are a lot of bad things, bad things stand out more. If there are a lot of good things, bad things stand out less. I like to call it the TTG and SU effect.
+Garry Courtney What about Chomper?
Chomper actually does talk from movie 5 onward
+Friendshipismagic Chopper was too young talk and It took awhile until he was able.
Loves this movie and still do❤
Hey at least we get the best Disney ride out of this flick
God this movie is so underrated
For good reason.
The music though... James Newton Howard
This is a great movie for kids
Agreed
the fuck ? no it's not , a great movie for kids it's peanuts. this movie is goos for everybody , there should not exist something like "for kids" , this life aint for kids , I grw up with marvel comics movies and videogames (normal , not kids games) and all that stuff was for mature people , but that's only made my way of thinking more complex better and of course mature
Daniel Castañeda k
+Daniel Castañeda k
+Daniel Castañeda Actually Peanuts is great for everybody too.
I thought Doug would talk about Dinosaurs starring the Sinclair family & their baby saying "Not the mama" & hitting the father on the head with a frying pan, lol

Dinosaurs; Tyrannosaurus, Iguanodon, Apatosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Velociraptor. I think you get the point.
One of them acting like a dog is still weird and obviously just trying to grab kids' attentions.
Please, SOMEONE tell me they also had a rubber Carnotaurus (the spiky t-rex looking one) head puppet when they were little
Eeyup. That thing was badass.
I did, i wore it for halloween 10 years ago.
jefftheduck321 I had an Aladar one
OMG yes. I used to scare people with it.
Totally
a better done version of the Good dinosaur?
Eh, Good Dinosaur had a better protagonist.
I prefer this movie over the good dinosaur
***** The good dinosaurs had a bad story but good animation at least.
***** I've posted this comment in January 18. So I'm going to have to watch dinosaur and the good dinosaur again.
hiram castellanos
yes! This was disney's first dinosaur movie
As a kid I absolutely love this movie. It's not the best when you think about it.
It's a good guilty pleasure movie of mine though.

Anyway, that's just some revised thought from somebody who's got a more positive view on the film.
This is actually one of my favorite Disney movies of all time, This is what got me interested heavily in dinosaurs, plus the animation is amazing
Despite Doug's issues with the movie, I still love it. However, like him, I don't like that one lemur character, but at least he's not constantly in your face and only shows up every now and then.
I loved this movie as a kid and I still really enjoy it today!
that animation for its time is unreal, also loved the story and tension this film had..pretty brutal in places.
I watched this movie recently for the first time in years and yeah I still love it. The Carnotaurs were so badass and their scenes were definitely my favorite parts of this movie.
I used to have a big poster of this movie in my room, it was like just a big eye and I also had a complete collection of cards that came with a Disney magazine... The memories!
Does anyone else vaguely remember the McDonald toys for this movie??
Vaguely
+Daisy Tapia (kitsunechan06) I actually still have some of them... somewhere in the depths of my basement
+Daisy Tapia (kitsunechan06) I remember having an Aladar toy back when I lived in Paraguay. It's probably still in my toy box.
The Aladar hand puppets? XD
ugh, those creepy hand puppets, yuck.
Who at McDonalds' R&D thought that was a good idea hm?
One of my favorite movies of all time!!!
Having some dinosaurs talk and another be like a dog isn't as odd as you'd think. Dogs and humans are both mammals, and somewhat closely related, we talk and the dogs are dogs.

HOLY SH*T! THIS MOVIE WAS MY F**KING CHILDHOOD!
its one of my own personal fav Disney Films
I remember seeing a preview for this film on a VHS or DVD I'd watch a lot as a kid, and it looked good!...because it was the first 5 minutes where no one talks!
That sequence is honestly amazing...and infinitely better than every other piece of the actual film I've seen so far.
2:55 Uh what? not all dinosaurs are the same animal.
All I remember is the epic opening scene. Had that Walking With Dinosaurs feel to it (not the 2013 movie but the old semi-live action movies with no dialogue except for a narrator).
I loved this movie a child! The part when the t rex comes out of the forest scared me
This is definitivly my favorite Disney made movie of all time!
This movie was amazing! The animation was freaking insane! I loved it. Granted, it's been done already, but when you're a kid you don't care. Im kinda sad it didn't do better in the box office.
I don’t have a lot of memories of this movie, but my gosh was that Carnotauros awesome
Oh gosh, I remember loving this movie.
You have to compliment the movie for having a Carnotaurus as the villain and NOT a T.rex
I love dinosaurs and this movie... that has the same name!
Still love it! Very nostalgic to me!
You can say what you want about the movie as it really wasn't anything special but the ride at Animal Kingdom it inspired is timeless
I've been on that ride and I loved it
Awesome. While Animal Kingdom only has a couple of rides. The ones it does have are pretty great.
I adored this movie as a kid!
This is my favorite movie of all time because it taught me how epic films can be, the designs of the dinos and the landscape are amazing and the adore by James Newton Howard is one of the best scores I’ve heard to this day because it almost feels like another character in and of itself.

My favorite Dinosaur movie, so epic!
My favorite Dinosaur movie, so epic!
I remember seeing this I theaters as a kid and it was sweet 😭
the first movie I ever had was a cassette version of Dinosaur. by the time I was three I had seen it round about 50 times and could recite most of it by memory. while I haven't seen it in years, I still love this movie
i really like this movie. and musics are pretty awesome as well
Despite it being a kind of silly movie now that I've grown up, I watched it again recently and found that I still liked it
I watched this movie a lot when I was a kid and I still love it. I have not seen the good dinosaur and it has been for ever since I have seen a land before time, so this movie is still high on my list.
This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine
Who cares if they talked, it's a dinosaur movie! Who wouldn't be so hyped up for it?!
Well...i thank you for saying its not horrible but this is another one of those Disney movies forever etched into my heart....
My childhood was 50% Lion King and 50% this movie

Iunno, ask disneys mascot mickey, hes over there with pluto and goofy
I agree wholeheartedly. I said the exact same things you did a little while before watching this, down to a T. I even used the term, 'jerky leader'. However, there are a few pros that you fail to mention. First, the soundtrack is amazing. So much so, that you use lt in quite a few Disneycember videos. Second, this is Disneys first attempt at CG without Pixars help. It's a notable attempt. And lastly, this is the farthest back chronologically that a Disney animovie or any animovie has ever went. The beginning takes place in 66 MA, before the asteroid hits. The Land Before Time takes place afterward & The Good Dinosaur begins with the asteroid.

I loved this movie as a child and I still love it today!!
i remember seeing this 2000 film when i was young
I loved this movie all around. I can't wait to show my kids in the future
The only line I remember from this movie is, "Carnatourus. Two horns and one bad attitude." Granted I haven't seen the movie since I was really young, so....
When Littlefoot grows up what would his name be
+Goji Boy Bigfoot
Do you know how many years it took me to realize this was the dinosaur version of the story of Moses? 17 fucking years lmao.
"Something New" How often do you see an iguanodon as the main character in a dinosaur movie?
Whenever we put on the Tarzan VHS we almost never skipped the preview for this movie. I don't even remember when I finally got to see the real thing because that preview was so epic. The Egg Travels remains one of my favorite scores in a movie.
Something about this film really struck me as a child. It seemed really genuine for some reason, idk. Maybe it was just the dinosaurs, because dinosaurs are always a treat, but I felt I could get a new experience out of it every time I saw it. Not a "great" film by any means, but it really stuck with me for some reason.
Had my mum walk me out of the theatre during this film. The loud noises really freaked me out as a kid.
Mostly I remember this movie because I played the everloving crap out of the movie game. It was just a collection of minigames; there was a puzzle sim, that one where you make more squares on a grid than your opponent, a colour matching game, and a chess game, all with some kind of dinosaur theme. It was very entertaining when I was five.
Oh I love this movie
I love this movie, mainly because I grew up on it and I loved dinosaurs. Just hearing that score again made me tear up, guessing I'm gonna have to get out the old VHS and watch it.
2:46 I agree about that. They also did that in the Land Before Time movies. It's like the herbivores could talk but the carnivores really couldn't. Whenever there were fights with carnivorous dinosaurs in the movies, the carnivores would never talk. And I really don't think intelligence is a factor there. Because there were a lot of intelligent carnivorous dinosaurs. So I really don't understand that.
Let me put it this way; when my family went on car trips, including our cross country moves, my dad would jury rig a mini TV with a VCR player in our car in order to keep us occupied using moving crates and bungee cords. And with three kids under the age of 9 in the car, we had to find VCRs that we had that nobody would complain about because what's the point of a TV in the car if the kids are constantly arguing about what to watch. This film was one of the few that we all could watch that we were all ok with. So I watched this a lot, but even to this day I barely remember anything about it outside of the visuals. I could barely follow the dialogue, even when I got older
"Its like talking to a person and then another person is licking and scratching at you"
Yeah that was a great party!
I agree if they didn't have the dinosaurs talk it would have been better. Yet despite it this movie is great for it's scary yet unworldly imagery. Great cinematography and music!
I loved it as a kid, but the story not as good as it was then, verses now, that I'm older....but I can say this the CG is still amazing! One of the best CG movie especially since, back then, computer weren't as good.
I loved this movie as a kid. I saw it in the theater and I was basically smiling the whole time. Why? One word: Dinosaurs. When it comes to dinosaur movies, I've always been very easy to please so long as they're walking around in a physical fleshed-out state and the story isn't 100% terrible...~cough~"Jurassic Park 3"~cough~
I wished he mention the carnotaurs. The way they're design in this movie used to scare me as a kid
The ride that's based on this movie is pretty good.
God the first time another dinosaur was scarier than a T. rex! Damn Carnotaurs!!
I enjoyed it. The most.
I remember I had one of the Dinosaur McDonald's toys. It was a plastic puppet I think. I was like 6 years old when I got it
I had the same thing, it was the bad dinosaur it was pretty scary for a kids toy
Yes
