Product Description
AN ORPHANED DINOSAUR RAISED BY LEMURS JOINS AN ARDUOUS TREK TO A SANCTURARY AFTER A METEORITE SHOWER DESTROYS HIS FAMILY HOME.
Amazon.com
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

My child loves it. I bet he has watched it 100 times already. He is 5 yrs. old.
Great Dinosaur Movie May 26, 2009
J. Alderson (Oviedo, FL USA)
My 3 year old son loves this movie! He wants to watch it over and over again. To be honest, the movie is so good, I'm not sick of it yet (even after seeing it 30+ times). If you have a kid who's into dinosaurs, then this movie is a must. Buy it now and enjoy it together!
 Entertaining May 25, 2009

My husband and I were surprised at how entertaining this movie is. It's a little beyond our two year old but we were delighted that we had a break from elmo and monsters ink. The graphics are pretty cool!
It's Just "Okay" April 26, 2009

I bought this for a friend's little boy as a Christmas present because he loves dinosaurs. I thought the animation was well done. There's a good, subtle, morality theme going on about acceptance and kindness that I'm sure kids will pick up on. I don't feel it was necessary to have a triceratops talking jive...and switching back and forth between male and female genders in speech. But I doubt a 5 year old will mind. Overall I give this a "B" for kids entertainment.
Everyone matters February 26, 2009
Judith Arle (USA)
I loved this movie, and I'm over 60! My four-year-old granddaughter watches it about once a week. What draws young and old? A finely drawn portrait of what makes a family, and what decisions a real hero makes - no matter his age or size. The characters are visually and emotionally engaging - we disliked the bullies, cheered for the little monkeys and baby dinos, and ached for the wise and witty 'aged' dinosaurs. The very concept of leaving loved, elderly leaders behind reminds me of my own inabilility to keep up with the fast-paced life my sons and their loved ones lead. But Aladar, his adopted lemur family and the lovely Neera stay back to encourage and protect their elders, Balene and Eema. Gosh, I hope someone does that for me. Beautiful to the eyes, and warming to the heart. Why didn't we have these when I was growing up?
