Dinosaurs come alive like never before in this costly computer-animated film from Disney. After a breathtaking opening (a dino egg is kidnapped), the film changes style; realistic dinosaurs are given human characteristics and voices. The kidnapped egg grows into an iguanodon named Aladar (voiced by D.B. Sweeney), who is raised by lemurs (shades of Tarzan) on a lush island void of other dinosaurs. When a meteorite destroys their island home in a thrilling sequence, the lemur family and Aladar become part of a dinosaur troop roaming the mainland deserts looking for the lush nesting grounds (shades of the fourth installment of the Land Before Time series and Fantasia). Disney's usual mix of modern language (one lemur calls himself 'a love monkey') is present, as is its typical capital punishment law: anyone against our forward-thinking hero (or even disagreeing with him) ends up dead. Curiously, the meanies, a pair of carnotaurs following the group, are nameless and voiceless. This more realistic approach might have been a bigger wow, as in the BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs, which looked extraordinary with only a fraction of the budget. The complexity and scope of Dinosaur's visual scale is impressive, and group shots and a point-of-view angle are stunning. Rated PG for general intensity, the film should be a favorite for the 6- to 11-year-old set. --Doug Thomas

Rating:  - dinosaurs!
My two year old loves this movie. It's got a few scary parts that bothered him a bit at first, but now he interrupts me as we watch the movie to tell me that "mean dinosaur eat that one." The story could be a lot better, but my son enjoys it and has taken an interest in all the dinosaurs in the film so this is a total win.
Rating: - Nice movie
This movie is one hour and twenty-two minutes long and was released on May 19, 2000. If you read Amazon review, you get a good idea what the movie is about. The main problem with the film (a small one) is that all the dinosaurs feature in this film are not from all the same time period and the same region also. Go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_(2000_film) to look up what dinosaur came from what time period and where also. Overall it is a very good movie and about a caring dinosaur.
Rating: - Great Movie
My 2 year old son loves this movie. It looks great on my PS3 and sounds great too!
