Rating: Summary: Very Real Animation, Some Scenes not 4 Kids! Review: Certainly a master piece in terms of animation. Incredible to the point where you have to clear your eyes in amazement as to how real the characters seem.The story line is "cute" yet it carries on for too long and there are times where you can almost loose interest and give it up, this specially when you expect amovie of this kind (Disney) to be full of adventure, songs, and "jumping around" at all times. I have a 2 1/2 year old and even though perhaps a bit to young to "understand" a movie about dinosaurs, I thought It would be a piece she would enjoy because of the scenery, and the characters (lemurs -monkeys-); well I had to stop the movie almost within 2 minutes into it, because there are some scenes that are a bit "cruel" although real, perhaps unnecessary in a film of this nature. For the most part during the rest of the movie, this turned out to be not so bad, and we continued the show. Yes, the plot is a bit long and there are not many "cool" scenes, just a lot of very good animation and at points some sound effects that are worth sitting thought. I would recommend "screening" the movie before you play it for younger audiences, don't let this movie surprise you; just because it is from Disney doen't mean it is all nicey!
Rating: Summary: Outstanding Movie!!!!!!! Review: Well, I loved this movie! The senes are so cool looking you could just watch them over, and over again. The movie is about a dinosaur who is raised by leamers on an island, but when a large meteor hits he and his family set out on a journey to find their new home. It's a very touching story, and has both sad and happy parts. I stayed home from school sick for three days and I watched this movie four times. Each time you watch this excellent movie you will notice different things. Again, I loved this movie and I reccomend it to anyone of any age!!
Rating: Summary: Seeing is believing Review: Let's face it, Land Before Time has a more complex plot and better characterization, but that's far from the whole story. Visually this is a real marvel. In years to come it may be studied along side King Kong due to its innovative combination of real locations and computer animation. Rent it and see what you think - you may want to add it to your collection.
Rating: Summary: Animation excellence, but not for young viewers Review: Animation scenes at times border on Imax quality, but the topic-dinosaurs is not for the young or nightmare-prone viewer. Despite having cuddly monkeys to help offset the large often scary dinosaurs, the gruesome fight scenes are too much for those with young kids. The movie does come round full circle like "The Lion King", but the visuals make this much more scary as all is more realistic.
Rating: Summary: What a progress! Review: After reading some reviews here, I didn't expect much. Maybe great graphic but weak (very weak) story...but no way. I liked this very much. Yes, graphic itself is stunning. Now they challenged 'Hair"balls, not toys or ants. Only problem with me was the faces and bodies of monkeys (still, not perfect). But wow! And story? I liked it. As a scientist, I know the fact but what's the matter? The story is well made. I am pretty sure my son will love this movie. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: DVD is a slap in the face Review: This dvd will not play on my DVD player. It's unfortunate that Disney thinks so little of its fans that it will release a DVD that is incompatible with a great number of DVD players. Walt is probably rolling over in his grave.
Rating: Summary: DVD fails to play Review: I have tried two different copies of this disc. Both have failed to play in my Toshiba SD-3109 and the DVD player in my computer (a Samsung OEM, I think). I would advise everyone to buy another movie rather than gamble on it working in their player.
Rating: Summary: Hollow Movie + Parents Beware. Review: It's very hard to reccomend this movie and here's why: VERY SMALL AGE BRACKET: The movie is so childish, that is will turn off adults. Most family films have themes that adults can enjoy, but this doesn't. Yet this movie contains some mild to moderate VIOLENCE, WHICH MAKES THE APPROPRIATE AGE ABOUT 7-10 YEARS OLD. THERE IS NO REAL STORY OR CHARACTERS: The characters have too much dialogue that doesn't really show their personality. They are hard to relate to (not because they're dinosaurs, but because they're shallow). The wonderful special and visual effects only satisfy for the first 15 minutes. So, as I said, the mild violence mixed with the hollow and childish story make this movie hard to reccomend to almost anyone.
Rating: Summary: Campatibility???? Review: Well, I have the RCA that doesn't work with this DVD. Fortunately, I saw the post from someone else listing this issue. I have a second player on my laptop and watched the film. The seamless animation mixed with real life was fantastic. The film I give a 5. The fact that compatibility issues are not listed on the sales page cost it 2 stars. Also, the case was destroyed on arrival.
Rating: Summary: Dino lover Review: Animation is brilliant - but oh what ever happened to a good story line? Not only was there Monkeys living at the same time of Dinosaurs (when in reality the biggest mammal was the size of a mouse), but they also talked! And the terrible "lets get together and we can sort this problem out" constant behaviour made me sick. 2/5 for pure animation 0/5 for the worst story line yet ever put on the big screen.
