Summary: It's a Good Children's Movie
Review: Don't let negative reviews put you off. I have four children, and the three who are above the age of two loved this movie. They didn't cry or scream. The graphic are breathtaking. The story isn't really anything terribly original, but then, what Disney story is? They all have basically the same theme and this film is no more violent than The Lion King (probably Disney's best modern effort", the violence is simple done with computer graphics instead of traditional animation.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Parents Be Warned
Review: Hello, I know this is a childrens movie but did Disney remember that? The violence in this movie was unacceptable. Working at a local theatre I saw first hand the number of disappointed parents faces and horrified childrens faces. Disney thought of there money book before they thought of the children on this one. Two thumbs down to them. I love almost all Disney movies but they severly disappointed me with this one. Not only was their to much violence this story has been done before, or does nobody remember "The Land Before Time". Littlefoot and his friends were much more lovable than Aladar and his hormones! Now all bashing aside the movie does work and has some very good moments, including fantastic computer animation. However if you have younger children 8 & under I strongly suggest looking before you leap.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Can we say "rip off"....
Review: Ever hear of a movie "Land Before Time", about a bunch of dinosaurs (children) looking for the "Great Valley"? Well, then you've pretty much seen this movie. Yes, the story is slightly different (the dino's are older) but it more or less follows the same plot line, even down the the core group of friends.

Aside from this fact, it is still a compelling story. Great visuals, and sound effects, endearing characters. A timeless story for young and old.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: destined to become a disney classic!
Review: Everyone has seen at least one disney film as a kid and got so caught up in the story it seemed real. Everyone has loved the characters. For anyone who has ever been to a museum, seen dinosaur bones, and wished they could see it walking, will love this movie. Yes! You're probably thinking you've seen animated dinosaur's in Universal's "The Land Before Time", and Disney's origional "Fantasia". You've probably seen Universal's "Jurassic Park", and it's sequel, "The Lost World", but this knocks all of them out of the water. It is also the first movie ever to have all real landscape, with all computer animated charecters. Because the technology was greater, this movie looks better than "Jusrassic Park". This is probably why Universal is jumping to make "Jurassic Park 3". Also, many people think that this story is the same as "The Land Before Time" because this story is taking place at the same time. It's about these dinosaurs trying to get to some suitable living grounds during the time right before their extinction. It's about a dinosaur (Aladar) whos egg was stolen and ended up in the hands of lemurs on an iand with no other dinosaurs. when a huge meteor shower hits the island, they are forced to move to the main lands. There, they join a her of dinosaurs heading toward safe green land. The heard is led by kronk, who isn't kind. while they do this, they arebeing followed by carnatours, who closely resemble a tyronosaurous rex only with two devil horns on their heads.If anything, this movie resembles "Tarzan" and "The Jungle Book" more than "The Land Before Time". This DVD is a spedial edition 2-disc set with tons of special features. I suggest you buy your copy today!

Summary: Dinosaur Rocks!
Review: Chapter 1: A Wonderful Movie This was a great movie! It has amazing special effects, filled with wonder, real backgrounds, and new-to-life backgrounds!

Chapter 2: It All Starts Out... It all starts out with the story of how Aladar got to Lemur Island. From Carntatours to Egg Stealers, there's nothing that can stop this egg with Aladar.

Chapter 3: The Lemurs The lemurs find the egg and Yar, the oldest lemur says it is dangerous. Plio, thinks it isn't dangerous and just needs a little attention. Zini is mad because he always misses the exciting stuff. But, Yar was about to drop him from the trees, when Aladar pees on him.

Chapter 4: Mating Aladar grows up on Lemur Island. One day, it is time for the lemurs to mate. Plio says to Aladar, "If only there was someone on the island that was like you."

Chapter 5: A Meteor Shower Soon, there is a meteor shower, and it ruins Lemur Island. Aladar, Suri, (another lemur after the birth of Aladar), Plio, Zini and Yar are the last of the island. So, they have to go find a new home.

Chapter 6: Velicraptors Aparrently, they run into Velicraptors that try to eat Aladar and the lemurs. Aladar tries to run, but the velicraptors are fast. They make it, but soon, they run into a herd of dinosaurs.

Chapter 7: "Just Ignore My Brother" There was a very rude leader named Kron. He was very mean to Aladar. Then, Neera, Kron's sister says, "Just ignore my brother. He's always like that."

Chapter 8: "Let The Weak Set The Pace?" Millions of dinosaurs pass Aladar. At the back were some old dinosaurs. There was Eema, a stratchysour,Url, an anklasour, and Baylene, the last of her kind, a brachiosaur. They were very slow and old. Aladar goes to Kron and says, "You can't do this. The weak ones can't take this any longer!" Kron answers, "Let the weak set the pace? You better let me do the thinking from now on, Aladar."

Chapter 9: The Nesting Grounds Eema tells Aladar that they were going to the Nesting grounds. It is where everyone lays eggs. The nesting grounds were right over a hill, but the meteor shower had ruined the nesting grounds.

Come back soon and see more chapters, more fun!

Summary: Best Dinsey Movie Yet
Review: This is the best Disney movie yet, and my all time favorite movie. The graphics were outstanding, and the musical score was outstanding too.

"This is not a movie for anyone with a vaugely scientific way of thinking. The villain is the one supporting Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, and the hero is the one opposing it, which was so blatant that my twelve-year-old daughter could point out."

Wha? You must have one hell of a smart kid, which proves intelligence skips a generation. If the way you judge a movie is by how scientifically accurate, then you will never find a good movie. The movie has a great plot, and makes me feel for the Dinosaurs. Undoubtedly the best movie I've ever seen.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Disney at the top of their game
Review: Dinosaur was a great family film in a summer where there was very little that was great for the family. This film and Chicken Run came out of the summer as two of the very few childrens movies that were actually good for people of all ages. Dinosaur is an attempt by Disney to show that not all of their films have to have cute little animals break into nonsensical songs every few minutes. This film showed a bit of a darker side to the childrens films, they also proved that they can handle serious film themes without dumbing it down too much. This film is beautifully rendered with computer graphics, on stunning real landscapes, a process that took them nearly five years to finish. This is the type of film that Disney should do more of. It has aspects for the adults, but also has enough of a story line that is easy enough for the young ones to follow. It may have a short running time of only about an hour and a half, but that is perfect to get the story told and to keep everyones attention.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dino Mite
Review: This stellar animated feature from the masters of amazement will blow your socks off. By the end of the first fifteen minutes, you'll be cluthing the edge of your seat and crying for mommy! Maybe too intense for little ones. My little sister (five) screamed through the whole thing and got pretty scared. Mom had to carry her out, so they both missed the best part...the end.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fantastic CGI with a solid story = one of Disney's best
Review: This is an excellent movie, especially for those who love dinos. Although as in every Disney movie there are discrepancies with reality, this movie is awesome in its attempt to recreate the times and surroundings for these monsters. I also like the way Disney attempted to explain the destruction of the dinos by ridding us of that "all at once" theory that describes the extinction as immediate. Just a wonderful movie that everyone will love.

....If you take your child to see a Disney movie and attempt to entwine Darwin ... well maybe you need to stay home more often.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun for everyone!
Review: My husband and I saw this movie because he went to school for computer graphics. I absolutely loved it. The movie was touching and awesome! Unfortunately, I studied a little bit about dinosaurs in college. I thought a little bit about the timeline as well as the placement of the dinosaurs together was a bit off. But that was my critical eye. I loved this movie because it was not a story about some dinosaurs looking for a place to live. It was more about life and learning to take risks and stepping out on a limb. This movie had some many themes in it that are even evident to children. Get this for your kids, they will learn something. Plus the dinosaurs are really cool!
