Summary: Edge of Your Seat Excitment! Wonderful!
Review: Disney's Dinosaur takes you back beyond the dinosaur ages. A time when dinosaurs once ruled the Earth many, many ages ago. This movie I thought was excellent--if only it could have been another hour or so longer. It was just too short of a great, suspence movie. Woopie Goldberg does the voice a female lemur. Who raises her own family of lemurs. But when suddenly a mysterious egg falls into their home, they do not know what to think of it. At first, they were terrifed of what it might be, but soon it begins to hatch after it's long and dangerous journey to the home of the lemurs. And once it hatches--they find out that it is an iguanodon, whom they had named Aladar. They decided it was best to keep it and raise it (something similar to Tarzan) and make it part of the family. But later, they find something spectacular in the sky: (Well it was fascinating at first sight.) A great big ball of fire, shooting down from the sky. From then on, the whole herd was to move out in search of the Nesting Grounds. They have to keep constant watch of predators, such as Carnatuars and Phalasaraptors and other meat-eaters. Also featuring the voice of (Mrs. Wilson, from Dennis the Mennis; can't recall here real name, forgot.) who does the voice of a Brachiasauras: or longneck, I guess you could say. Anyway, this movie it breathtaking and will keep your eyes glued to the wonderfully computerized grafics. It'll make you feel as though you really have been taken back to the age of the dinosaurs!

Summary: Jurassic Disney
Review: Disney's new computer animated feature, Dinosaur, is a striking epic narrative of the life and times of Aladar (voiced by D.B. Sweeney). Though the film is intended for younger audiences, Dinosaur retains a dramatic captivation and sincere interest with the universal human needs for commrodrity. acceptence, self-esteem, love, and leadership. These moral values are allluded to heavly in the film's story and the character's motivations. In the film's emotionally captivating opening sequence, Aladar is tragically seperated from his mother. Following Aladar's egg as it is taken by hunguary carnosaurs and fate to an island filled with mokeys, Aladar grows into an adult where he is faced with the proctection of his primate family and the alienation and suspicion raised once he finally returns to the land of his conception. On the same parallel adults themes of life and death as the Lion King, Dinosaur is not reccommended for very young children under the age of seven or eight. Dinosaur is a potently dramatic coming of age story that has intense vocal characterizations and highly sophisticated animation to create a world so real and so vivid that it story reamains fascinating from start to finish.

Summary: Incredible movie!!!
Review: This film has many deep messages in it. The movie is about friendship, love and courage. Many of the scenes that are generated throughout the movie, have to do with many situations that usually come up as part of growing up, decisions that we have to make, and many other aspects of life. This is a "MUST SEE" movie for all ages. The special effects and the story line are amazing. One of the messages that captivated me the most, was about leadership... Go watch the movie right now! You will not regret it. Then buy the soundtrack from Amazon, which it is also great!

Summary: Breathtaking
Review: If ever the definition of "eye candy" was going to be redifined, this is the movie to do it. Dinosaur is a revolutionary film in its looks, and feel. The opening sequence is almost like watching a documentary on dinosaurs and dinosaur life. I was so enthralled at first that when the animals started talking, I was almost disappointed. I know that it was necessary for the movie, but the opening sequence was so wonderfully different than anything that I had seen in movies, that it was nearly a let down when they started talking. However, that let down was only for a brief minute. The rest of the movie is something else to behold, especially the fireball sequence, and every time I thought I was watching a real movie, I had to remind myself that it was an animated movie. That just added to the splendor. The story is a little weak (it feels as though it was lifted directly from Land Before Time) but I think that is the only fault with the movie. The voice talent was great and the background music superb. This is truly a great movie and one that will revolutionize movies in the future. I can't wait to see what Disney does with this new style of animation in the future.

Summary: Beautiful animation...
Review: ...but the story is not quite there. Even the animation is disappointing, in the sense that the breath taking views such as the opening scene (which was also the long theatrical trailer) are very few. Most of the movie is much ... hmm ... smaller. Also, most scenes lack exotism (which makes sense since most of the background was simply filmed in various locations around the globe.) But overall, the animation part is simply great and was beautifully done. What bothered me more was the story, which is a little heavy on messages... The story is definitely one tracked, and there are some weird inconsistencies: the plant eating dinosaurs of the herd are intelligent and talk, whereas carnotaurs (?) and velociraptors are grunting beasts (in that, they're also more realistic than the other "characters"...) Note that I don't think that the movie is ideal for young children. The atmosphere is depressingly gloomy and dark for most of the movie, with several violent scenes. It also lacks the usual cute Disney sidekicks... Overall, Disney did a great job of animating very realistic dinosaurs. However, the movie is neither a realistic picture nor a complete fantasy. As an adult, I would have preferred something more realistic, with less of a story. If I were to take a 5-year old with me, I'd rather have something "cuter", with a simpler morale, and a more upbeat atmosphere...

Summary: Dinosaur - The Movie
Review: Graphics great, cast etc. This was very well done, had a good, believable story line, but thought it much too strong for little children. It would be nice if parents paid attention to the ratings.

Summary: Wow!
Review: All through this movie, I kept uttering that word over and over. Wow! This is quite simply the best Disney movie in ten years, and one of the best Disney movies EVER. The plot is standard Disney/Land Before Time but considerably less preachy than they've been in a while. But the movie is so visually stunning that any plot weaknesses are forgotten. There are some intense moments, maybe too intense for very young children. But I hope the voices got a piece of the video/DVD rights. Because I will buy a DVD of this regardless of the price.

Summary: DINOSAUR is EXCELLENT!
Review: DINOSAUR was a Great movie! It shows how DISNEY keeps pushing the standards for Great Films. This movie had Amazing Real Life Backgrounds combined with animated characters that seemed to come alive just as much as the real Backgrounds in this film. This movie is one of the BEST DISNEY films EVER! I highly recommend DINOSAUR! With laughs, tears, and just being a Great Flick it's no wonder DINOSAUR took the #1 spot at the Box Office on its opening week!

Summary: Dinosaur Mania
Review: Disney's newest release is very good. The movie has slight gore in it. For instance, many Dinos get eaten. Then others get in a bloody fight. The movie's backgrounds are all real, but the dinosaurs are computer animated. This movie is great, so grab a ticket and see the show!

Summary: Awesome!!!
Review: I SAW THE MOVIVE,"DINOSAUR" OPENING DAY. IT DIDN'T DISAPPOINT US ONE BIT! THERE WERE LOTS OF SPECIAL EFFECTS, LIKE IN THE BEGINNING WITH THE METEORS. MY FAVORITE DINOSAURS WERE THE CARNITAURS, BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE MEAT EATERS, AND THEY LOOKED A LOT LIKE T-REX, BUT HAD SPIKES AND HORNS. I LIKED THE MOVIE BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE DINOSAURS, AND I WANT TO BE A PALEONTOLOGIST WHEN I GROW UP. THE MOVIE WAS VERY SUSPENSEFUL AND EXCITING- I NEVER KNEW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT. THERE WERE ALSO FUNNY PARTS. YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
