Summary: Beware the Dinosaur DVD
Review: I popped this dvd into my new Harman Karman DVD-5, and the movie played for less than a minute before it skipped ahead a few seconds, then it shipped to the next chapter. The picture would then occasionally stutter and pixilate. Needless to say my two children who were waiting for me to come home from work so that we could watch it together were very disappointed.The local Disney Store has a memo up saying that Buena Vista realizes that there are compatibility problems with this DVD. So the one star rating refers to the poor format of the DVD pressing, not the movie content. A partial list of affected DVD players based on Deja News postings: ATI AIW128, JVC 501K, Panasonic A120 A110, Pioneer 525 414, Proscan PS8680Z, RCA 5520P, Sony 570D 550 S7000 (using ROMS older than 2.x), Toshiba SD3205 SD1200, Harman Kardon DVD-5. Your Mileage May Vary, Trev

Summary: WARNING: CE DVD has problems...
Review: I loved Disney's Dinosaur and shelled out for the Collector's Edition (CE) DVD because I was interested in more detail on the special effects. The Special Effects DVD plays fine, but on my DVD player (Panasonic A100) the movie DVD in this edition stops a few minutes before the film ends. VERY FRUSTRATING!!! At 72:47 into the movie it freezes and FF, REW, PLAY, STOP, nothing works! According to dvdfile(dot)com, lots of people are having this and other problems with this DVD on the 2 disc DVD set, while other DVD owners (those with the newest DVD players) aren't having any problems at all. As of February 6th, 2001, Buena Vista Home Entertainment (BVHE) Consumer Relations (800-723-4763) was only offering refunds in return for shipping the DVD set back to them for the purchase price and shipping. They have no current plan for a recall, because the DVD DOES play on SOME DVD players. Also according to BVHE they are having SOME problems with the single disc version of Dinosaur too, so don't rush right away to that DVD. Be forewarned, especially if you have an older player, before you buy this set.

Summary: Visual effects... they are perfect
Review: I watched this movie not because of a plot. I wanted to see it because of computer graphic. And I can say that I loved it. It's a movie for children but if you have big widescreen TV with perfect surround sound system - you'd better see this one (or see it in theatres if your TV is not good enough).

Summary: Dinosaurs
Review: An excellent choice for "kids from one to ninety-three." Disney came out with its usual excellent film. Some of the scenes were somewhat intense for small children, and Disney departed from its once standard of never showing death. However, for the elementary and even junior high school audience, the film is worth the price. I have not had time to view the extras (if any) on the DVD, but my fifteen year old seemed to enjoy them.

Summary: Great for kids and adults alike
Review: This movie had everything for children and even some to keep the adults entertained. The fight scenes may be too intense for some of the younger set, but my young daughter faired fine with it. The messages of compassion for those weaker then you and to work together to get a job done are throughout this movie. Though Disney liked to soak in their idea of what looked entirly realistic, I think that after 12 years of making this movie, they could have done a little better. Some parts do look real, but most, deffinetly not. Just look at the lemurs...and the fact they put lips on a dinosaur that never had them in the first place. It is nice to see a movie where someone younger gives so much care and respect to the elderly. It is a great picture to teach children that we have a lot to learn from our elders. Overall, a good picture.

Summary: Dinosaur DVD - Defective?????
Review: I gave this DVD a 1 because I could not get my DVD player to play the disk. I took it back to the store and got another one and my DVD player (JVC 2000BK) still would not play the DVD. I have over 165 DVD's and all play correctly. AT the store I met another individual that was returning his Dinosaur DVD because it would not play (A JVC player too). I have read various DVD forums and there appears to be a problem with this DVD. So to keep the grand kids happy, we had to settle on the VHS version.

Summary: This is an unbiased review.
Review: I'll be as straight as possible with the review of Walt Disney's movie 'Dinosaur.' First, it is a PG-rated rather than a G-rated movie, and might not be suitable for the very young. I've already watched this film several times, and do not recall seeing a drop of blood once(yes, there were some dinosaur fights going on). It should NOT be rated PG-13, such as both Jurassic Park and The Lost World, because those two films contain lots of blood and gore. In addition, there was a little touch of dinosaur and monkey romance in there (nothing the young can't handle at all). This movie was purchased because of its huge budget and the great animation, for my curiousity. The computer graphics work is astounding, the music is okay, and the plot is simple. Do you expect a dinosaur's life to be as complex and chaotic as ours? Being a male over 21, this movie is a great relief from all the horrible rated-R movies out there nowadays. 'Dinosaur' may be a new breed of movies for adults after all. About the plot, the dinosaur leader may be doing the right thing (survival of the fittest). But he was very careless in his decisions and had no mercy for anyone whatsover. A ruthless leader challenged by the more compassionate yet courageous main character.

Summary: Dinosaur Recall
Review: I bought the deluxe edition because I have seen this film in the theaters and I loved it. I tried to play it on two DVD players and on one it didn't play at all, and on the other it would jump scenes. I did play it on my computer and it played fine, but it's not the same as on my bigger screen in the living room where I have my DTS and so forth. I called The Disney Store about this and they said that they are having a lot of complaints from consumers who cannot view the DVD. They also said that Disney DVD will be reissuing another Dinosaur DVD to replace this one, and that they will issue credit for your faulty one. On the other hand, disc 2 plays great and has a lot of cool features, but most of the features are on disc 1, one being the movie itself.

Summary: Won't play in my machine
Review: Just a warning for JVC DVD player owners, this DVD will not play on certain models. I have model XV-501BK and tried 3 different copies before I called JVC and found out that they are aware that the formatting of Dinosaur can't be read by my player model. I own over 100 DVDs and they all play except this one. My player can read the supplemental features disc but not the movie disc. Very frustrating! Since I can't watch it I gave it a 1 rating but this rating may not accurately reflect the quality and other features that are on disc 1.

Review: The movie is excellent and the images wonderful, but: MY TOSHIBA SD-3109 PLAYER WILL NOT READ THE MOVIE DISC!. If you have this model also, beware new Disney discs...
