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 Description: Join the action-packed adventure of a group of dinosaurs overcoming enormous challenges through courage, loyalty, and hope in Disney's DINOSAUR, a special effects phenomenon! Set 65 million years ago, DINOSAUR tells the compelling story of an iguanodon named Aladar, who is separated from his own kind and raised by a clan of lemurs, including the wisecracking Zini and the compassionate Plio. When a devastating meteor shower plunges their world into chaos, Aladar and his family follow a herd of dinosaurs heading for the safety of the "nesting grounds." Along the way, Aladar befriends Baylene, the dignified, elderly brachiosaur with a take-no-prisoners attitude; Eema, the unstoppable styrachosaur; and Neera, a feisty fellow iguanodon. Together, they must stand strong amid food and water shortages, the threat of attacks by carnotaurs, and Aladar's run-ins with the herd's stubborn leader, Kron. As the trip becomes one pulse-quickening adventure after another, it also forges friendships that no hardship can destroy. A landmark in filmmaking technology, Disney's DINOSAUR is a breathtaking spectacle filled with adventure, fun, and life lessons that the whole family will love! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - DinosaurVery, very good copy. No freezing or sound problems. Most of all clear like brand new. Rating:  - DinosaurLove dinosaur movies since the first Jurassic Park. Blu ray technology just made this movie looks and sounds so much better. I enjoyed this movie and it's worth paying extra for blu ray. Rating: - Great Custmer service....I purchased this dvd. It came exactly as advertised. Package and dvd looked like new...for some reason I could not get the movie to play in any of my players. Seller was very nice about the problem. Returned my money immediately. I would do business with them again. It was just one of those things that happens on occasion. Great customer service. Lisa Rating:  - A very likable movie, if you know what you're watching.First off, this movie is a Disney animated fantasy. It isn't "Walking with Dinosaurs," and was never meant to be, any more than Disney's "Hercules" was meant to be a serious examination of ancient Greek mythology. Disney made a number of choices about this movie as a story, rather than an documentary. They included lemurs to add a touch of the familiar, and because they are humanoid enough for people to be able to relate to them. They didn't use one of the mammal-like critters that actually lived ... Read More Rating: - Awsome imagesThis film worth the blue ray resolution. Now you can see the beautiful scenery and enjoy the texture of the animals. |
