      @Steave Reviews I've been watching your videos for some time and I was thinking that you might want to watch watch a French series called the the long long holiday It is a story about World War II and the occupation of France it has some very dark tones to It I will be completely honest but also some very happy moments in the show all in all of pretty good series to watch. And there is an English dub available on TH-cam but I cannot seem to find the 1st episode

    Can we get a rewrite of this movie that just focuses solely on the brothers? A guy who harnesses the dreams of others and literally engineers ways to traverse time and space to make them come true vs. a guy who harnesses the deepest fears of people willing to be sealed into a circus tent with them would be legendary in good writers' hands.

      That would be a really cool idea for a story. Heck, maybe both that and the story with the dinosaurs (and pterosaur) could work as their own separate movies. The former could expand on the surreal fantasy elements like some of the stuff with Screweyes, while the latter could give the Mesozoic quartet more focus on their character and them further exploring Manhattan. And this is coming from someone that has a nostalgic soft spot for "We're Back!" as is.

    There was actually a deleted scene about Screweyes that definitely would've helped with the point you brought up. In it, Screweyes explained that as a child he slept under a berry bush and when one of the berries fell on his face a crow came and tried to grab it only to get his eye instead. This not only gave him a fear of crows but drove him insane because he couldn't understand how something so terrible could happen for no good reason so he became obsessed with using fear to understand others and gain some control in his life. He also explains that while he is afraid of crows he keeps them around as a way to show he has mastered his fears, even though he still jumps and cowers when they move or get too close to him. Edit: I wrote this right before you went into the whole deleted Screweyes thing.

      In the deleted scene we learn Screweyes had his eye pecked out by a crow as a child. The trauma made him insane, bitter and obsessed with the emotion of fear, hence him creating the Circus.
      It's pretty damn dark, his own trauma comes to finish him off in the end.

    Screweyes is the only reason I remember this movie. In fact, his death scene has sat perfectly in my mind since childhood, alongside far too many episodes of Are You Afraid Of The Dark and Courage The Cowardly Dog. To learn about his cut backstory after all this time is such a treat! (Also, someone once pointed out to me that he has a "coke nail"--ie. a nail which is grown longer specifically to divide up portions of cocaine...which is a freakin _weird_ detail for an animated kids film)

    I remember this movie as a kid, and yeah the plot is completely insane and non sensical and I didn't understand the human characters at all. However, it's still a guilty pleasure of mine. Also I gotta give this review a 0/10, you didn't talk about the best character: Stubbs the Clown. The scene where he quits and leaves behind all his gags is top tier.

    • @ninjasecret8418

He is the only character that wants to be good and nice with Screweyes. And surprisingly, Screweyes accepted him on circus and let him try to make him laugh. This relationship needs more exploration in my oppinion.

    I feel like this film would have been something special if the writing and direction was handled better.
    I mean, dinos in New York?
    Traveling and avoiding dangers?
    A psycho circus master who wants to use the dinos?
    A lot of ideas that sounds interesting and could have stand out from the other films. But it fell victim to the 90s formula, where it tries to copy Disney's films at the time.
    Plus, it's a surprisingly short film...
    Clocking in at about 70 minutes(though I could be wrong). It's a film that just comes and goes. If it had a longer running time, it would have had more time to explore the characters and concepts; telling a more interesting story.
    I would also keep the deleted scenes

    You just dug up a deep, deep childhood memory with this review. We used to own a hard-box VHS of this movie. It was a charming movie in a way, but weird. But Listening to John Goodman (playing Rex) actually sing was amazing!! But... the circus scenes, any part with Screweye, the parts where 'Brain Drain' was introduced, the dinosaurs turning feral, and where the human protagonists were fucking turned into chimps was a goddamn fever dream. I vividly recall retreating under my blankets when those scenes played.
    And the intro is hilarious. I mean, the bird does ask legitimate questions. You're basically a descendant of the dinosaurs, and you see your ancient predecessor just casually playing golf. It's a movie with a whole deal of flops, but for a film from 1993, it is neat to see how at times the animation is polished and smooth.
    Thanks for the content as always, dude. Much love from the Philippines. Cheers.

      That's how it goes when nostalgia factors in, isn't it? I was recently watching someone (Schaffarillis) rank all the Disney Renaissance movies, and he put Pocahontas pretty low and I was ready to be mad, but then he started by saying he never saw the movie as a kid, and went on to describe it exactly as it is, from the perspective of an adult. And.. he was right. It actually isn't a truly great movie, when compared to the likes of Beauty, Lion King, and Mermaid. But because I saw it as a little girl, and felt the hell out of the entire vibe, I just can't let my fond memories go.

I suppose there's the critical and philosophical distinction between enjoying some art and that art being "good," and I'd argue that just because something is marketed to kids doesn't excuse it from being held to the same standards as all other movies, at least critically. However, enjoying it, nostalgically or not, is always good and no critic on TH-cam can take that away from you.

    Like in most cases, read the book. It is way better. Focuses way more on the dinosaurs, with no kid charecters and allowing them to be the main characters throughout. The film has some aspects included from the stories plot and follows a vaguely similar storyline, but it cuts a lot of the charters from the book out and adds in a lot of new things that just had nothing to do with the original story.

Also il be damned if this guy wouldn't have liked this movie as a kid himself. easy to say he doesn't care he missed out on it. now that hes 30 or whatever. So my point. Don't regret the memory of this movie because in the end its better to have seen it back then. I remember it made me happy to watch it. Im not above grading kid movies either, but we have to consider the fact that this movies simplistic nature , even with its flaws , made it a fun movie for kids. Yes there are some kids movies that are worse in the fact that even as a kid , u can tell its bad. But you couldn't with this one back then. and that I would call a successful kids movie. since any more mental stimuli like"the tyrannosaurus doesn't have appropriate amount of fingers , would go over any kids head at that time and wouldn't even ruin immersion for them. Yes I would recomend this movie to ur CHILDREN ...because the stuff this guy complains about wouldn't even matter to them. obviously not recommended to watch as an adult.

      Here's the thing, tho: an alarming amount of people still want to pretend that JP/JW's dinos are accurate for some reason. Look at how apeshit so many people went at the dinos from "Prehistoric Planet" crying about how they're "woke dinos" -_-
      The first JW keeps saying that nothing in the park is natural, yet you still have the good guy nerd at the control room saying "What I loved about the original park is that they didn't need these hybrids, but just REAL dinosaurs!" and he keeps inaccurate dinosaur toys on his desk.
      Hell, if Gray is this big dinosaur nerd kid, you'd think he'd be more disillusioned/critical about the park still doing inaccurate dinos because they sell better, but no, he never criticizes anything and if anything he tries to support the "Amber can preserve blood DNA for eons because chemistry!" BS to give those fans what they want: validation.
      You can twist and turn his words to cope like "No no no, he was comically wrong because they're all hybrids!!", given how a lot of people negatively responded to Prehistoric Planet's dinos, it's clear JW1 just wanted to _pretend_ to be 'self-aware' while still doing the same shit and subtly giving validation to inaccurate dinos fanatics.
      Hell, it's not even the first JW saying it, even "Jurassic Park III" had Grant literally spelling out something in the lines of "Us paleontologists are the real people doing science, what Hammond did was creating lab accident monsters", yet people STILL find Prehistoric Planet and similar media problematic for not making their dinos the leathery, mad eyed and malnutritioned looking beasts from JP.
      I can get behind the 1993 original because it's a good film and the raptors and T-rex are effective and brilliantly suspenseful scary movie monsters, but the franchise has had a bad influence on people's perception of dinosaurs. I did not care about inaccuracy stuff until people unjustly talked shit about Prehistoric Planet for actually trying to be more accurate.
      To its credit, the original JP was more researched and accurate compared to the old "King Kong" and other dino movies before 1993, so it's hypocritical how these people reject progress when it's about their stupid nostalgia, such petty bullshit.

    When I saw this as a kid, I thought the same thing about Rex's three fingers, and the dietary changes made to the herbivorous party members. I put it down to the Brain Grain supposedly evolving them into sentience, not just upping the brain power and adding vocal cords, in addition to the other changes to their faces and bodies.
    Sentient, civilized creatures would have a wider range of facial expressions and more forward-facing eyes and whatnot. And being friendlier, they'd likely evolve less fearsome features.
    Of course, I didn't notice that the original Rex pre-Brain Grain had three fingers as well, and I forgot about the theory by the time they were devolved in the circus, but hey I was a kid. I'm surprised in hindsight that I had that kind of theory in the first place.

    *Clarification:* I vaguely recall the baby bird mentioning that he wants to run away too. Rex was probably telling his story so that he can make the bird realize how dangerous being lost and alone is. There's also the theme of getting into trouble by making hasty decisions and trying to correct them before it is too late. This is what Louie did through talking to Rex and stopping him from hurting anyone.
    From what I can remember, Louie's tough guy speech was just a minor arc. The major arc was about him moving past his selfish desire to run away. He learns this through the dinosaurs, who tried their best to reach the museum so that they can make kids happy, and who sacrificed themselves when could have left him to suffer the consequences of his actions.
    On another note, my brother acted exactly like Louie when he was young. What the hell kind of dramatic character development do you expect from a kid? That he suddenly turns into Einstein? 😅

    The plot of the story gets really twisted if you think how that crazy Circus Guy (Professor Screw-eyes) only wanted to have things to scare people only to have it all backfire on himself.
    And the villain's death was like WTF???
    But then the movie wanted to be suitable for everyone, so sadly no T-Rex eating someone from a toilet seat then.
    So many flaws in this kid friendly movie, as well as WTF moments like the Pterosaur saying to the T-Rex that she could lay an Egg.

      What I love about the Italian dub is that sometimes they'd actually improve upon the original, whether be better acting or changing some awkward lines. The SW Prequel Trilogy is a good example of this, performances aside they made some awkward lines a little less silly sounding (don't worry tho, it's only minor things, the more iconic meme moments are still funny in Italian. Hell, italian Nute Gunray has more of a Russian accent and I find him more hysterical than the original) and likewise Jar Jar is less annoying and him commenting Padmé as "Pretty hot!" is similarly changed into him saying "Maxi cute!" which is more innocuous in comparison.
