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

 Fun with dinosaurs February 7, 2010
Mary L. Stanley (Hillsborough, NC USA)
This is one of my favorite Disney movies. It's one of those movies that can be enjoyed by adults as well as kids. My 4-year-old granddaughter loves it.
Kids 2 and 3 love it February 7, 2010
Ryan and Atziry (Houston)
This dvd tells the story of a dinosaur that ends up living away from all other dinosaurs. He grows and soon realizes he is very lonely. My kids enjoy this dvd but its a story hard to follow, i like that it explains the big ban theory. However I think they could have come up with a better story line something entertaining for the everyone. The kids will watch it and like it.

This movie was made really well. The kind of animation used is just awesome and the plot is cute. A must have for any house hold with children that like dinosaurs.

Disney's movie, Dinosaur, combines real, exotic places with 300 million dollar animation in a seamless, truly beautiful film. It is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and mixed with a soaring musical score, Dinosaur is a delight to the eyes and ears.
The story centers around Alladar, whose stolen egg ends up on an island through a series of breathtaking, rapid events. When he hatches, he is adopted by a family of lemurs (monkeys). The next time you meet him, he and his lemur "brother" have matured. That is when the island and much of the mainland are destroyed by a massive fireball from a fallen meteor. Only Alladar and his lemur family escape to the mainland where they find a devastated, hostile kind of world.
The story is a departure from normal Disney sing-song cartoons. The content is more serious and graphic, without gore. It is more earnest and realistic, but has some great humor. And the facial expressions of the characters are absolutely incredible. So lifelike! It is a journey of the heart.
The thing I appreciate most about the story is the compassion that Alladar and his family show to the mainland dinosaurs. They express the love and loyalty of family, while most of the mainlanders are fractured and wandering and care only for themselves. In the end, the vast and varied "herd" have a life and death choice between a leader who rules by strength and brutality, and a leader who has earned the right because he cares about them.
I recommend this film for all people 8 years old and up. Parents, little ones might be frightened by some of the more intense scenes, as there are deaths, so it would be wise to sit with them, or use discretion if they have tender sensibilities.
Turn your traditional Disney expectations off when you turn on Dinosaur, and enjoy it for what it is.
