The shockwave from the meteor actually pushed away oxygen for a brief moment, causing every living thing in its vicinity to gasp for air. It's cool that they added that in the movie.
The Carnotaurus is still pretty terrifying. Also, there was actually a REALLY cool (imo) method for how they created the scenery of this movie. They filmed in several locations around the world, from all sorts of environments, then cut different parts together. So in one shot you might see a beach from Hawaii, a jungle from Africa, and a sky sunset from Arizona. Honestly a great way to make it look familiar, but also otherworldly.
I was fooled into believing that the environments were just That well done in CG. I later learned through bts material that it was an actual environment, and that they wanted to keep that type of realism. This makes me appreciate the film much more !
Fun fact they chose the carnotaurus because they wanted something different for a villain than using the basic trex cause a lot of dinosaur movies back then always used a trex as the main villain!
@@nathancruz9172 Apparently _DINOSAUR_ was James first Disney animated film he composed for Disney and it’s interesting that during the next two years following he would later do the scores for the next two Disney animated films _Atlantis: The Lost Empire_ and _Treasure Planet_ respectively.
The crazy thing is that the voice actor of Kron is Samuel E. Wright who voiced Sebastian in _The Little Mermaid._ But, it gets even more crazier that both Samuel E. Wright and Max Casella (Zini’s voice actor) were in the original broadway production of _The Lion King_ as Mufasa and Timon.
Another crazy fact about Max Casella is he was also the Voice Actor who voiced Daxter from “Jak & Daxter” Video Games🎮📀 in case y’all didn’t know about nor realized Zini’s voice in “Dinosaur” Movie from back in 2000/2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣🦎🦕🦖📽️🎞️📼💿💯
“We can only hope that in some small way, our time here will be remembered” and it was and still is, entire generations loving and obsessed with dinosaurs 🥲
This is such an underrated and sadly forgotten gem from Disney. It’s one of my favourites, I watched it so many times growing up and it still holds up to this day even if the cg is a bit dated. Interestingly the VHS tape, mine at least, came with a documentary that showed how they animated the dinosaurs and also how they created the meteor impact which was very fascinating to see.
@@whitenoisereactsApparently you can thank James Newton Howard for doing the score and surprisingly he also did the music scores for _Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Raya and the Last Dragon, Maleficent (2014)_ the _Fantastic Beasts_ films, the _Hunger Games_ films and the movies by M. Night Shymalan such as _Sixth Sinse, The Village_ and _Signs_
At 30:35 I realized Bruton and Kron are so much larger than the other iguanodons like Aladar, I didn't notice back when I watched this movie. Aladar's 'normal' sized but these two tough guys are HUGE.
Maybe it's because they were the strongest one in their nests so they got to eat more and grew bigger and stronger. So they got the alpha and beta job at the herd and always get to eat first until they were full. So they got even stronger in comparison to the rest of the iguanas.
I really like Disney’s Dinosaur. More often than not, this film is compared to the likes of The Land Before Time with the story alone and I can see why. Be that as it may, I feel that this film is on a larger scale with its cast of characters, their relationships, and gorgeous environments. I also enjoy the music as well, which evokes a sense of epic proportions. Honestly, one of my favorite films from Disney, definitely deserves more recognition.
This was one of the first Disney animated films I saw in theaters and I still remember having the hand puppets of Aladar and a Carnotaurus from McDonald’s. Now while the story might not be one of Disney’s best, I still enjoy the Visual effects of this movie and how the filmmakers used real locations such as Florida, Venezuela, Australia, Hawaii, Death Valley and Arboretum in California, and Jordan to bring the prehistoric landscapes to life. However, I give massive credit to the musical score by James Newton Howard who does an incredible job providing awe, wonder and suspense in this movie, especially The Egg Travels sequence with the Pteranodon carrying Aladar’s Egg. It’s easily one of his best scores he contributed for Disney and throughout his career.
Omg, I also had those rubber hand puppets! I also still have my action figures of Aladar, Kron, and Eema, which have a lot of good articulation and nice color/texture in their materials.
Same. It was also one of the first films I saw at the cinema. I still have my cinema ticket from back then. I got the McDonald's toys but I live in the UK and we got figures of the dinosaurs instead
Yup Hayden Panettiere, she also was Kairi in the _Kingdom Hearts_ series (until Alyson Stoner replaced her), Claire Bennet in _Heroes,_ Juliette Barnes in _Nashville_ and Kirby Reed in _Scream IV_ and _Scream VI_
Rest in peace Ossie Davis 1917-2005 who voiced Yar Della Reese 1931-2017 who voiced Eema and Samuel E Wright 1946-2021 who voiced Kron, it’s sad that Kron and Burton couldn’t make to the nesting ground, White Noise Reacts, I am going to miss your reaction videos
NICE!! This is one of my favorite Disney movies! Originally, Phil Tippett, stop motion animation effects artist and Paul Verhoven, director of ROBOCOP and Total Recall, were hired by Disney to create a movie about dinosaurs in 1988, very similar to THE LAND BEFORE TIME, with Rick Baker hired to do the makeup effects that would have had actors playing lemurs, and that the film would have involved a Styracosaurus and his family being harassed by a Tyrannosaurus Rex, until he has the courage to kill the dinosaur. Feeling victorious, the Styracosaurus returns to his family, but sees a giant flash in the sky indicating the 6 mile wide asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, is on a collision course with Earth. Paul Verhoven said in an interview that "The final shot would have the lemurs crawl out of a hole in the ground and see the aftermath of the asteroid impact, and that it wasn't the end, it was the beginning of the Human Race." Production began in 1991, but was halted in 1993 as Disney learned that JURASSIC PARK used CGI, Phil Tippett was then hired for VFX scenes, and shelved the movie until 1998, when they began filming in California, Hawaii, Somoa, Jordan, Florida, South America, and Australia. They used real world locations and placed the dinosaurs in their natural environment.
Having the Styracosaurus conquer a T-Rex but then get wiped out by a meteor definitely would have been dark but probably more interesting or memorable than what we got here imo. At least the seeds of that idea still made it in here 🤔.
it was actually the other way around. Phil and paul got the idea first, and developed the idea for the film while working on robocop, then started shopping it around and ended up at disney. but when they started talking about giving the dinos eyelashes and having them talk, thats when Paul and co walked away, and he told phil to do the same. even encouraged him to look into jurassic park, which was in very early development at the time (the novel hadn't even been finished yet, but there was already interest in a film version since Michael Crichton and steven spielberg were friends). and R rated dinosaur film would have been an interesting watch. lol
What made this amazing is that they put animated creatures into an unanimated world. CG dinosaurs they made as realistic as possible put into the real world, altering and interacting with it as needed to make it real. I was obsessed with this movie as a child and I still marvel at how well it aged
Same with his Lemur Family (Plio, Yar, Suri, and Zini) who were also present during the 100 Anniversary photo shoot in _Once Upon a Studio._ Even it’s worth noting that Aladar and the Lemur family along with the characters from _Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons_ and _Bolt_ also received updated character models in _Once Upon a Studio_
This movie has some of the most underrated epic soundtrack ever! There was a little snippet of it during a trivia on my first Disney Cruise a few years and I was the only one who knew it. I was like, guys, come on, Dinosaur!
I was OBSESSED with this movie. I was obsessed with dinosaurs. I used to be able to recognize and recite dinosaur species, but not anymore lol. My dino-phase ended when i learned we didn't have paleontology in my country I have the mcdonalds toys of the main cast. To motivate me in school, my family promised to buy me a dinosaur toy of my choosing. You bet your ass I aced my tests. I bought a dinosaur egg. You can remove the top part, and inside is a baby triceratop that can move. Still have those toys in my childhood room.
To this day still it's an incredible movie. The music and environment are fantastic, the Carnotaurs are terrifying, and the main characters are lovable.
All yes i love this movie very underrated and it still holds up when it comes to the models and backgrounds. As well as the soundtrack being breathtaking at certain parts.
The carnotauruses (big 'bad guys') were meant to be tyrannosaurs, but they changed them because Jurassic Park 1 & 2 and some documentaries had already covered T-rexes just a few years earlier. They just made the carnotaurus the size of the t-rex so it was a threat to the 'good guys', which is much bigger than it actually was.
Up until the writers made him obsessed with being right, Kron technically wasn't wrong. Survival can be an ugly thing, but sometimes, the ugly things are necessary, or everyone dies.
I mean, not really. He had a very uncaring attitude toward the survival of others. “If you can’t keep up with me then you deserve to die” isn’t a great motto for a leader…
@@lilscenechick1995you're not understanding the vast amount of time and difference between them and us even mammals are a very small and new species in this era leaders aren't even a concept or about what we think now or then there was no humans no inventions no morals or complexity just survival and instincts. And the world is hundreds of times more desolate and lonely than any period even remotely within a billion years of humans or our ancestors.
@erueka6 This film isn't realistic, though. That argument doesn't work because these dinosaurs DO have morals, ARE capable of intelligent reasoning, HAVE a human concept of leaders, and can engage in intelligent conversation. The film goes full on with this anthropomorphism like we are supposed to see them that way with only the aesthetical animal stuff like the nesting grounds, mating rituals, and herds.
Oh my gosh! Disney’s dinosaur was one of my top favorite Disney movies of the early 2000s! I love everything about it: The storyline, the score music, the voices of the characters, and of course the animation.
Yup, the main reason why many ignore Disney's Dinosaur is because the plot is too similar to Universal's The Land Before Time - both involve prehistoric creatures traveling through a dying land in search of a green valley to call home. I will say, though, that the opening sequence involving the egg's adventure was incredible.
funny thing is, that opening scene was almost a one for one adaptation of the same scene in land before time. to the point that, when the first teaser came out (which was just that scene played in full), many people thought it WAS the land before time, just in "live action" till the title popped up.
@@RaptorNX01 Another reason why several seem to ignore Disney's Dinosaur is due to how extremely unlikeable Kron is. He made the film almost watchable, even though he's the secondary antagonist. When he died, I did not shed a single tear. Never once were we given a reason to care for him; he was never even given a tragic backstory - nothing like Kerchak in Tarzan, who did have a personal tragedy and later asked to be forgiven at his deathbed.
@@wesmcinerny4524 I always thought that the one reason to sympathize with Kron was just because of Neera's love for him! He was totally stuck in his ways and a douche, but he *did* just want to get the herd to the nesting grounds without losing too many as well.
@@Azayth103 But never once did he swallow his pride and apologize for his unprofessional behavior. He didn't learn a thing. He was more of a menace to the herd than the predators. Far from the ideal leader. Again, why couldn't he have been more like Kerchak from Tarzan?
@@breezy3392Agreed 110%. I've had an extremely religious upbringing (Baptist) and while I am no longer personally a believer, I believe the Prince of Egypt still conveys very important themes and morals in everyday life that can relate to viewers regardless of that aspect. Also, the soundtrack is literally a landscape of music, it's breath-taking.
@@pc_buildyb0i935 The soundtrack goes hard. The visuals are stunning. The voice acting is fantastic. The story, the characters, the directing, they hit every point.
@@breezy3392 Oh man, everything about the film is perfect, just like you listed. The chemistry the voice actors had with one another is next level, and every voice fits the character so well you'd swear they were born for the role.
The dinosaurs they have in the movie are Iguanodon, Styracosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Stygimoloch, Microceratus, Parasaurolophus, Velociraptors, Ankylosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Carnotaurus, and Struthiomimus 🦖🦕
@@HarmonyOCThey're not. Most dinosaurs in the movie are from the Late Cretaceous, but Brachiosaurus and Iguanodon are from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous.
@SarD3an Also Parasaurolophus and Pteranodon both died out a good couple of million years before the asteroid hit. Velociraptor or something very similar to it might've been still around, but it's contentious.
This movie will never not impress me. I saw it in a theatres as a kid, and I think it still holds up today. Obviously it’s not perfect, but the way they captured to movement and the facial expressions is wild. Like when Bruton shook his head, all the skin around his neck would sway back and forth with the follow through. And when the dinosaurs shouted their cheeks vibrated. I’ve seen some (albeit low budget) animations in today’s age that don’t show that much attention to detail. Also the way they integrated the CGcharacters into real environments is very impressive, especially in the ocean scene. One of my favorite shots is when Aladar gets out of the water at the beginning and they show his toes move the pebbles out of the way on the beach.
Also the MUSIC is insane. And I like that even though there are a lot of characters, they’re almost all likeable and don’t overstay their welcome. Like Zinni is silly and dumb, but they don’t shove it down your throat every five seconds. He only has a few moments like that. Unlike a lot of movies today where the comic relief is just obnoxious.
YES!!! FINALLY!!! This movie shaped my entire childhood and I still love it and watch it all the time. Never gets old for me. I'm SO happy y'all finally reacted to it!!!!!!!!!
This was one of my most rewatched vhs tapes as a kid. Even though it's not the typical disney movie, I wish more people gave it a shot. Glad you guys did! The music and voice acting is so good!
@whitenoisereacts Ha! I won't deny that. CGI has come a long way since then. Actually, this movie was right on the heels of the "Jurassic Park" franchise when digital CGI was fairly new. They even waited until they could acquire similar CGI. Otherwise, it would've been stop motion. The realism for us, at the time, was quite unusual, if not captivating. Also it didnt hurt that those who wanted more dinosaurs after Jurassic Park got "Dinosaur" itself as a nice little answer. Especially kids.
Dude, this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I remember seeing this on v h s multiple times and going over to a friend's house to watch it not just at my house Indeed such an underrated c g I dinosaur movie still love it to this day A lot of people don't give this movie enough credit
Dang watching this Disney movie, to me this film is pretty slow on most parts, but when it gets interesting that when it’s okay, hopefully the next film. You watch is the great mouse detective.
Resident dino-nut here to give you some fun facts! None of these are meant to be indictments of the movie- I, for one, think it's pretty fun, and I'm glad you guys enjoy it as well. I just think these things are worth bringiing up as they fall into one of the few topics I actually have any kind of authority to speak on. - The backdrops are mostly live footage. Some scale models are used, and many of the plates are photoshopped, but a lot of the big outdoor shots are found in real-world locations. The intro was filmed in Hawai'i and Venezuela, Lemur Island was shot on a California ranch owned by Disney Studios, and the desert is primarily in Death Valley. - The giant salamander, as you called it, not only a real animal, but probably the most accurate in the movie! It's modeled after Koolasuchus, a giant amphibian from Antarctica roughly 120 million years ago. The adults could reach 15 feet long! Giant amphibians were much more common before the dinosaurs and early crocodilians evolved as competition, but Antarctica never really developed ice caps throughout any of the Mesozoic, and an island continent with lush forests and cooler weather than most reptiles are comfortable in is perfect territory for weird things like Koolasuchus to evolve in. -Pteranodon is mostly found in coastal formations and was likely to have lived much like a modern seagull or albatross,. I don't think any cliffside remains have ever been found, but it's a good dramatic location, and there were enough of them around for a long enough time that at least ONE of them had to have a nest on a cliff, so I let it slide. -Yeah, anachronism is a big thing in this movie. Lemurs are exclusively indigenous to Madagascar, and while genetic data suggests they evolved around 60 million years ago, the jungle environment makes the actual fossilization process so rare that the earliest known fossil only dates to the last Ice Age. Primates as a whole aren't that much better off- while the oldest is sixty-five million years old, it 's found JUST after the imact layer, making it unlikely that true primates ever interacted with a non-avian dinosaur. -The ocean kinda had to be real in the movie. This was released in 2000, when proper physics simulations were rare, expensive, and nowhere near powerful enough to match the quality of the water interactions the movie demanded. -The "raptors" appear to be Velociraptor mongoliensis, look a LOT more like the fossils than Jurassic Park's raptors were (which were actually modeled after the larger Deinonychus), and are properly scaled compared to what an adult member of Aladar's species is supposed to be. This was also around the time that we started definitively saying that they should be feathered, but this movie was struggling enough trying to get the hair to work. -This movie was not in 3-D, although I'd definitely pay to see a 3D re-release. Those movies certainly existed, but they were pretty rare and didn't really become a theatrical staple until Spy Kids 3D came out five years later. That was just a cool shot. -Aladar is stated in promotional material to be Iguanodon, noted for being one of the first species prehistoric we named and one of the diagnostic species for the clade Dinosauria (the official definition is a descendant of the last common anscestor of Iguanadon, Megalosaurus, and Hylaeosaurus). The truth is slightly more complicated. In the early days, paleontologists didn't have enough data to tell extinct animals apart as well as we can today, so anything that kinda looked like an Iguanodon was just thrown in the group. Since this movie came out, we've looked at the specimens that the movie's Iguanodon are based on, and the proportions are different enough that they've been set apart as their own genus, Mantellisaurus. Although, it should be noted that Mantellisaurus is only a quarter of Iguanodon's size, and it looks like they scaled that specimen up for the role in this movie. -The Carnotaurus in this movie was actually scaled up pretty dramatically, and it's Disney was planning on using T. rex for a part of pre-production and swapped it out for a more obscure dinosaur to make it more marketable. The real animal was much more lightly-built and probably only stood a head taller than Mantellisaurus if it was taller than it at all. -It's probably a little more theatric here than in real life, but groundwater is definitely a thing. Many places that grow plants, like the movie's lake, have a near-permanent layer of rock and dirt underground that are soaked with rainwater that seeped in to all the little cracks and gaps between the particles. In fact, this is where wells tend to get their water- the builders dig down until they reach this water table, and it automatically fills as it spills in from the surrounding rock. -Brachiosaurus (might actually be Giraffatitan -- same situation as Mantellisaurus) only three times Aladar's size? Try twelve! Giraffatitan easily reached 50 short tons, while Iguanodon probably maxed out at around 4. (Again, Mantellisaurus was smaller, but we're looking at the film's scale.) Okay, rant over. Glad you had a good time! EDIT: Forgot the Koolasuchus bit.
The Ocean with the cliffs where the Pteranodon was flying was in Australia and it’s nest with the baby pteranodons before being harassed by the Icthyornis was in Hawaii. Also the opening scene was a combination of two to three real world locations: Orlando, Florida, Arboretum in Los Angeles California and Venezuela.
Thank you for these informations!!! It was good to read. I just don't understand why Nobu or James saying that the lemurs are monkeys, when they are not at all. While the lemurs are primates too like humans or apes and monkeys, lemurs are prosimians.
Fun facts! Those _different_ raptor designs are what naked little velociraptors look like. They're smaller, with long narrow snouts. But ofcourse they should be feathered. The horned big carnivore; Carnotaurus is actually bigger than a tyrannosaurus rex in scale in this movie in comparison to the iguanadons. It of course isn't nearly this big in real life but if these movie Carnotaurus would be scaled next to everyday rexes? The rexes would be dwarfed.
The scenes with them before Aladar meets the herd was a little scary to me at a younger age. We had a collectible Dinosaur-Magazine for kids it was weekly and introduced three dinosaurs in every issue. One had a picture in it with a pack of Raptors attacking an Iguanodon about the same colour as Aladar (don't know anymore whether the Raptors were Velociraptors or Deinonychus).
When I saw this in theaters she said wow it looks so real I was 11 and growing up with Jurassic park yrs before she said it looked fake in jp she was definitely tripping . I was still obsessed with this movie . I collected all the hand puppets from McDonald’s had a sound book , got like 3 vhs 📼 tapes of it for christmas from different people.
Loved this movie when I was a kid - The Carno’s would always give me nightmares, istg, still kinda do. If you guys wanna check out more earliy-ish 2000’s movies, theres another one ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’(2013) that has some really nice CG and animations to it, loved the story as a kid too. Hope you check it out!
This was my CHILDHOOD film. I've watched it so many times that I know all of the cuts, sound effects, visuals, everything. And the score by James Newton Howard, who also did Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet, is one of my absolute favourites.
I remember first seeing this right after Jurassic park! I was ready for the big leagues aftee loving the land before time movies. Lots of musical bops from those. The cg still holds up so so well. Such a great story, loveable characters, super cool villains. Love coming back to this movie every so often ❤️
I saw this movie in the cinema when it was released. And omg what an experience it was, i will always remember that. Especially the scene with the egg travels score. It's a masterpiece, and the meteor scene was fenomenal on the big screen. Great movie and great childhood memories.
Thanks for this awesome video! This is and will always be my favourite movie of all time. Until I read the comments I didn't even realize that the story was similar to Land Before Time (another series I used to watch religiously as a kid) - that's how different they feel in execution, especially with the far higher maturity of Disney's Dinosaur.
Disney Dinosaurs is a great movie from 2001 which it was an still is my favorite Childhood CGI Animated Live Action Movie out there and I was only 9 or 10 years old when I first saw it
This also came out during my huge dino phase as a kid, and this still is one of my favorite childhood films to rewatch. Visuals are lovely, music is wonderful, and the themes are classic.
Pterosaurs, the Bird thing you saw at the beginning carrying the egg to its cliff face nest, did actually do that. Part of the reason why is that they hunted primarily fish, putting it next to the ocean kept them able to eat, and as large animals they couldn't really nest in trees, so they needed something bigger, the cliff being the best place. The cliff face also provided the Pterosaurs both an escape and a way to teach their young, all spartan like. If something finds its way to the cliff, tries climbing down to them, they can just- fly away with ease. Additionally, I don't know if its proven or not, but I believe they also would toss their young from the side of the cliff so they're forced to figure out how to fly, as a er- crash course...
I think the "throw babies off cliffs"-thing is pure speculation. But then again, some bird hatchlings will willingly throw themselves off cliffs, so definitely possible. Prehistoric Planet from last year had some interesting theories on this subject tho. One was similar to a seabird colony, where several species built nests on secluded beaches and hard-to-reach-cliffs and simply raised their young until they could fend for themselves. Another was that the parents would put the soft, leathery eggs in a bed of wet seaweed to keep them from drying out and then abandon the nest as soon as the young hatched, which is based on findings that suggested that at least some pterosaurs where able to fly mere days, maybe even hours after hatching. And the show also suggested that azdarchids, the largest of the pterosaurs, would build nests on islands created by river deltas and swamps, where the young could hunt frogs, lizards and insects in isolated sanctuaries until they were strong enough to take off and leave the island behind
I love the pterodactyl flying scene, and I sometimes reenact scenes from movies, and I did something like that when I went downhill skiing. It's the speed and the rush feeling like freedom and flying.
Yes, yes, now land before time was one my favorites as a kid. I was born in 89 and I grew up with a lot of the 90s movies. But dinosaurs faze was strong and I love any movie with Dinosaur. All thought Dino King still makes me cry.
I heard someone point out how Aladar has a different worldview than the herd because he grew up with the lemurs who have much more of a human familial bond. And thinking about it now, they didnt leave behind their own, like Zuri, when the meteor came! :)
I’m so glad this was made before the Channel shuts down, if Rescuers Down Under was a part of my childhood, Dinosaur was my entire childhood, well that and Free Willy. 😂
One of the good movies from my childhood. Wasnt allowed to watch Jurassic Park so it was this. Oh man. The graphics are really good for 2000 and the music oh... soo good. Actually the real video + CGI looks better than most new movies with only CGI.
The raptors are actually accurate velociraptors (they're naked but the skeletal structure is spot on) In jurassic Park the raptors are based on another species called dinonychus. The author of the jurassic Park novel called Michael chrighton called them velociraptors because it sounds cooler
When I saw Toy Story 2 in theaters, the trailer for Dinosaur played, and the trailer was actually the opening sequence of this movie! I was hooked right then and there. You're right, there are live action shots for a lot of the scenery! Visually, this movie still holds up in my opinion. It really is an underrated movie, and I always find myself coming back to it now and then. Glad you guys liked it!
Yes, water can be found underground, especially a dried up lake bed. the sun or whatever heat dries up the water on top but the cool saturated ground can still contain water. Sometimes large trucks can start to sink through a dried lake bed and its spinning wheels would kick up mud. Same idea with large dinos.
The CGI itself may be a bit outdated by now, but the real environments, the character movements, the cinematography, the MUSIC, it all holds up. Still a banger movie
rewatching this makes me realize how dark this movie is, not only do they witness their entire species get wiped out THEN the rest of the movie is about trying not to die in the most brutal way. basically this movie taught kids how Brutal Nature is
Yes, this movie was one of my childhood favourites. I was a real big dinosaur kid. Now I'm a dinosaur adult. Cool thing with this movie, they used real footage of locations and added the dinos in after.
This is one of my favorite chilhood movie’s , it’s so amazing and beautifull , Aladar is a really likeable protagonist and the Carnatosauru’s alway’s creeped me out. Very very good movie.
Yes the backgrounds was indeed live action and filmed in nature. The intro was filmed in Venezuela, Australia, Hawaii and Florida🙂 got the info from a behind the scenes documentary🙂 Love this filme!!🙌 Also a lot of the meteor scene was practical! Pretty cool!
I loved this movie so much as a kid. I was obsessed with dinosaurs, and this movie, along with The Land Before Time series, took up a lot of my time in front of the TV. I haven't seen it in so long, so this was a lovely trip down memory lane :')
14:20 Aladar and his species are Iguanodon. While their anatomy is mostly accurate(especially the females), the filmmakers did take a couple of artistic liberties to anthropomorphize them, mainly with their faces. In real life, their eyes faced to the sides like horses, and their snouts had rounded beaks instead of lips. The growth on the snouts of Kron and Bruton seems to be explained as hardened osteoderms(the armored scales featured on crocodiles) that grow with age. The other main difference is their forelimbs, which couldn't turn in real life, so their hands faced palm-to-palm even when walking on all fours, so they would instead run on two legs. Their forelimbs were a lot more buff as well.
The Carnotaurus was actually supposed to have a few lines of dialogue during the final fight, but the producers thought it would be too creepy so it was removed. But i wish they kept it.
The funny thing about them making the predators less "human", more like monsters, is that the predators would actually have probably tended to be the smartest of the dinosaurs.
I absolutely loved the Land Before Time movies, but they're definitely more for a younger audience. Like I still love them, but when you go back and watch them it feels younger than you remember. But the first one at least is definitely worth watching and I would love to see your reaction.
Dinosaurs was one of my favorite Disney Classics in the 2000, Aladar which was an iguanodon dinosaur and the Connoisseurs for my favorite dinosaurs that lived in the Cretaceous period. T. rex also lived in the same time, did these dinosaurs ever meet one another I don’t know, some lived in the western part of the United States and some in Europe!!!
In the deleted scenes, They talk about how they shot The scene of the meteor crashing and little meteors hitting lemur Island, it said that they shot flares into the sky while taking video of that. What animators did is that they took the footage and turned it around which gave the appearance of meteors falling from the sky!!!!
4:52 Pteranodon(though the species featured in the film is now classified as a separate species called Geosternbergia)was a marine pterosaur, equivalent to modern-day seagulls and albatrosses, so they would settle on shorelines for nesting.
YES, I love this movie! I saw it in the imax theater when it came out, and the first sequence where the egg traveled was so cool with that big of a screen. It felt like being in a helicopter flying along, as well.
Aladar is such a green flag- he's not a major kid person, but he acts as a wing man to Zini and his adopted siblings, he's nice to Neera, and he tries to find ways to help others, even when it makes him look uncool.
DINO NOTES- (not complaints, just data) The raptors we see here (with the slimmer form and longer jaws) actually bear a closer resemblance to Velociraptor than the ones seen in Jurassic Park, but are still iffy in size (V-raptor was 6 feet long). Carnotaurus was only 25 feet long or so, but this film correctly portrays it as an ambush predator, stalking from the trees before charging in like a killer freight train. Iguanodon was one of the first dinosaurs discovered, they originally thought its thumb-claw was a nose horn. Styracosaurus (the triceratops-like one) easily has one of the more terrifying horn designs to be chased by. The nose horn could be up to two feet long. Ankylosaurus has had fossils discovered in Antarctica. Oviraptor ("Egg Thief") was so-named because it was found near a nest, later revealed to be its own eggs. It's not a "raptor", per se, but is kind of in that family the same way a tabbycat is related to a jaguar. Brachiosaurus . . . is big?
What is your favorite kind of dinosaur?
Raptor
For me, it’s the Spinosaurus.
Triceratops and Branchaours
T- Rex baby.Someone gotta show them some love too.Even tho their the enemy most of the time😅
This movie made the Iguanodon my favorite.
The meteor crash scene is actually so horrifying to this day. The silence followed by the shockwaves and the end of the world. So well done
An extraterrestrial rock was more terrifying than the Carnotaurs
@@daustin8888and that wasn't even the "big on".
The shockwave from the meteor actually pushed away oxygen for a brief moment, causing every living thing in its vicinity to gasp for air.
It's cool that they added that in the movie.
The Carnotaurus is still pretty terrifying. Also, there was actually a REALLY cool (imo) method for how they created the scenery of this movie. They filmed in several locations around the world, from all sorts of environments, then cut different parts together. So in one shot you might see a beach from Hawaii, a jungle from Africa, and a sky sunset from Arizona. Honestly a great way to make it look familiar, but also otherworldly.
Dude weren't you from the livestream ?
Actually, the locations (besides Hawaii) took place in Venezuela, Australia, Western Samoa, Florida, Jordan and Southern California.
You don't see anything like this anymore. Like Jurassic Park it was ahead of it's time.
I was fooled into believing that the environments were just That well done in CG. I later learned through bts material that it was an actual environment, and that they wanted to keep that type of realism. This makes me appreciate the film much more !
Fun fact they chose the carnotaurus because they wanted something different for a villain than using the basic trex cause a lot of dinosaur movies back then always used a trex as the main villain!
The musical score in this movie is so underrated and under appreciated. James Newton Howard did his thing in this film.
When the pterodactyl/pterosaur is flying with the egg over the water and the music ramps up… so good
He also composed Atlantis and treasure planet.
I agree. James Newton Howard is amazing. I enjoy a lot listening to his scores.
@@nathancruz9172 And _Raya and the Last Dragon_ in 2021.
@@nathancruz9172 Apparently _DINOSAUR_ was James first Disney animated film he composed for Disney and it’s interesting that during the next two years following he would later do the scores for the next two Disney animated films _Atlantis: The Lost Empire_ and _Treasure Planet_ respectively.
Fun fact:
D.B Sweeney, the voice of Aladar, is the same voice of Sitka, the eldest brother from the animated movie "Brother Bear."
Yup, and he also was adult Aang in _"The Legend of Korra"_
Ohhhh nice!
I’m not gonna lie, the meteorite scene was the scene I rewatched and replayed most because of how visually stunning and horrifying it was
As a kid who was absolutely obsessed with Dinosaurs growing up the hype for this movie was REAL back in the day 😄
“The egg travels” score is one of my faveorite Disney scores. Especially when the score swells with that overhead shot.
I still remember the trailer being just this scene. This was one of the first films I saw at the cinema. Still have my cinema ticket from 23 years ago
The crazy thing is that the voice actor of Kron is Samuel E. Wright who voiced Sebastian in _The Little Mermaid._
But, it gets even more crazier that both Samuel E. Wright and Max Casella (Zini’s voice actor) were in the original broadway production of _The Lion King_ as Mufasa and Timon.
That’s awesome
RIP Samuel E. Wright you were wonderful as Sabastian and excellent as Kron
Another crazy fact about Max Casella is he was also the Voice Actor who voiced Daxter from “Jak & Daxter” Video Games🎮📀 in case y’all didn’t know about nor realized Zini’s voice in “Dinosaur” Movie from back in 2000/2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣🦎🦕🦖📽️🎞️📼💿💯
I did not know that (though I probably should have), now I can't unhear Sebastian 🤣 🤣.
“We can only hope that in some small way, our time here will be remembered” and it was and still is, entire generations loving and obsessed with dinosaurs 🥲
This is such an underrated and sadly forgotten gem from Disney. It’s one of my favourites, I watched it so many times growing up and it still holds up to this day even if the cg is a bit dated. Interestingly the VHS tape, mine at least, came with a documentary that showed how they animated the dinosaurs and also how they created the meteor impact which was very fascinating to see.
Can we stop for a moment to appreciate the music of this movie? it's just beautiful and inspiring, full of emotions ; )
Yes!!
@@whitenoisereactsApparently you can thank James Newton Howard for doing the score and surprisingly he also did the music scores for _Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Raya and the Last Dragon, Maleficent (2014)_ the _Fantastic Beasts_ films, the _Hunger Games_ films and the movies by M. Night Shymalan such as _Sixth Sinse, The Village_ and _Signs_
"A mouth full of teeth with a BAD attitude."
Perfect description.
This is one of my childhood favorites, I still remember how terrified and fascinated I was in that meteor scene the first time I saw it
At 30:35 I realized Bruton and Kron are so much larger than the other iguanodons like Aladar, I didn't notice back when I watched this movie. Aladar's 'normal' sized but these two tough guys are HUGE.
Different type of iguana only makes sense
Always thought it was because they were older.
Maybe it's because they were the strongest one in their nests so they got to eat more and grew bigger and stronger. So they got the alpha and beta job at the herd and always get to eat first until they were full. So they got even stronger in comparison to the rest of the iguanas.
3:59 Koolasuchus, a giant prehistoric amphibian, known for appearing in episode 5 of Walking with Dinosaurs.
I really like Disney’s Dinosaur. More often than not, this film is compared to the likes of The Land Before Time with the story alone and I can see why. Be that as it may, I feel that this film is on a larger scale with its cast of characters, their relationships, and gorgeous environments. I also enjoy the music as well, which evokes a sense of epic proportions. Honestly, one of my favorite films from Disney, definitely deserves more recognition.
Me too
This was one of the first Disney animated films I saw in theaters and I still remember having the hand puppets of Aladar and a Carnotaurus from McDonald’s.
Now while the story might not be one of Disney’s best, I still enjoy the Visual effects of this movie and how the filmmakers used real locations such as Florida, Venezuela, Australia, Hawaii, Death Valley and Arboretum in California, and Jordan to bring the prehistoric landscapes to life. However, I give massive credit to the musical score by James Newton Howard who does an incredible job providing awe, wonder and suspense in this movie, especially The Egg Travels sequence with the Pteranodon carrying Aladar’s Egg. It’s easily one of his best scores he contributed for Disney and throughout his career.
Omg, I also had those rubber hand puppets! I also still have my action figures of Aladar, Kron, and Eema, which have a lot of good articulation and nice color/texture in their materials.
Same. It was also one of the first films I saw at the cinema. I still have my cinema ticket from back then. I got the McDonald's toys but I live in the UK and we got figures of the dinosaurs instead
Oh, my, god, FINALLY, more recognition for this film (it was thanks to him that we met the carnotaurus and iguanodon in the media, at least for me)
Ikr, every time I see Carnotaurus somewhere I remember this movie because I knew this species through it
Fun fact: The actress who played Suri in this played Dot in A Bug's Life and Sam in Until Dawn.
Yup Hayden Panettiere, she also was Kairi in the _Kingdom Hearts_ series (until Alyson Stoner replaced her), Claire Bennet in _Heroes,_ Juliette Barnes in _Nashville_ and Kirby Reed in _Scream IV_ and _Scream VI_

NICE!!
This is one of my favorite Disney movies!
Originally, Phil Tippett, stop motion animation effects artist and Paul Verhoven, director of ROBOCOP and Total Recall, were hired by Disney to create a movie about dinosaurs in 1988, very similar to THE LAND BEFORE TIME, with Rick Baker hired to do the makeup effects that would have had actors playing lemurs, and that the film would have involved a Styracosaurus and his family being harassed by a Tyrannosaurus Rex, until he has the courage to kill the dinosaur. Feeling victorious, the Styracosaurus returns to his family, but sees a giant flash in the sky indicating the 6 mile wide asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, is on a collision course with Earth.
Paul Verhoven said in an interview that "The final shot would have the lemurs crawl out of a hole in the ground and see the aftermath of the asteroid impact, and that it wasn't the end, it was the beginning of the Human Race."
Production began in 1991, but was halted in 1993 as Disney learned that JURASSIC PARK used CGI, Phil Tippett was then hired for VFX scenes, and shelved the movie until 1998, when they began filming in California, Hawaii, Somoa, Jordan, Florida, South America, and Australia.
They used real world locations and placed the dinosaurs in their natural environment.
Having the Styracosaurus conquer a T-Rex but then get wiped out by a meteor definitely would have been dark but probably more interesting or memorable than what we got here imo. At least the seeds of that idea still made it in here 🤔.
it was actually the other way around. Phil and paul got the idea first, and developed the idea for the film while working on robocop, then started shopping it around and ended up at disney. but when they started talking about giving the dinos eyelashes and having them talk, thats when Paul and co walked away, and he told phil to do the same. even encouraged him to look into jurassic park, which was in very early development at the time (the novel hadn't even been finished yet, but there was already interest in a film version since Michael Crichton and steven spielberg were friends).
and R rated dinosaur film would have been an interesting watch. lol
What made this amazing is that they put animated creatures into an unanimated world. CG dinosaurs they made as realistic as possible put into the real world, altering and interacting with it as needed to make it real. I was obsessed with this movie as a child and I still marvel at how well it aged
It's great to see Aladar in Once Upon a Studio after 23 years of absence.
Same with his Lemur Family (Plio, Yar, Suri, and Zini) who were also present during the 100 Anniversary photo shoot in _Once Upon a Studio._
Even it’s worth noting that Aladar and the Lemur family along with the characters from _Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons_ and _Bolt_ also received updated character models in _Once Upon a Studio_
This movie has some of the most underrated epic soundtrack ever! There was a little snippet of it during a trivia on my first Disney Cruise a few years and I was the only one who knew it. I was like, guys, come on, Dinosaur!
The meteor shower is one of the most terrifying scenes I ever saw as a Kid. Even now as an adult it’s still stresses me out!
I was OBSESSED with this movie. I was obsessed with dinosaurs. I used to be able to recognize and recite dinosaur species, but not anymore lol. My dino-phase ended when i learned we didn't have paleontology in my country
I have the mcdonalds toys of the main cast. To motivate me in school, my family promised to buy me a dinosaur toy of my choosing. You bet your ass I aced my tests. I bought a dinosaur egg. You can remove the top part, and inside is a baby triceratop that can move. Still have those toys in my childhood room.
To this day still it's an incredible movie. The music and environment are fantastic, the Carnotaurs are terrifying, and the main characters are lovable.
All yes i love this movie very underrated and it still holds up when it comes to the models and backgrounds. As well as the soundtrack being breathtaking at certain parts.
The carnotauruses (big 'bad guys') were meant to be tyrannosaurs, but they changed them because Jurassic Park 1 & 2 and some documentaries had already covered T-rexes just a few years earlier. They just made the carnotaurus the size of the t-rex so it was a threat to the 'good guys', which is much bigger than it actually was.
Up until the writers made him obsessed with being right, Kron technically wasn't wrong. Survival can be an ugly thing, but sometimes, the ugly things are necessary, or everyone dies.
He was right but wrong at the same time
I mean, not really. He had a very uncaring attitude toward the survival of others. “If you can’t keep up with me then you deserve to die” isn’t a great motto for a leader…
@@lilscenechick1995you're not understanding the vast amount of time and difference between them and us even mammals are a very small and new species in this era leaders aren't even a concept or about what we think now or then there was no humans no inventions no morals or complexity just survival and instincts. And the world is hundreds of times more desolate and lonely than any period even remotely within a billion years of humans or our ancestors.
@erueka6 This film isn't realistic, though. That argument doesn't work because these dinosaurs DO have morals, ARE capable of intelligent reasoning, HAVE a human concept of leaders, and can engage in intelligent conversation.
The film goes full on with this anthropomorphism like we are supposed to see them that way with only the aesthetical animal stuff like the nesting grounds, mating rituals, and herds.
@@william3100 doesn't matter dipstick that's just for us understanding them and to be more kid friendly
Oh my gosh! Disney’s dinosaur was one of my top favorite Disney movies of the early 2000s! I love everything about it: The storyline, the score music, the voices of the characters, and of course the animation.
The animation in this movie is an absolute legend for its time literally being in the year 2000, it is so refined... Too bad it was forgotten tho...
Yup, the main reason why many ignore Disney's Dinosaur is because the plot is too similar to Universal's The Land Before Time - both involve prehistoric creatures traveling through a dying land in search of a green valley to call home.
I will say, though, that the opening sequence involving the egg's adventure was incredible.
funny thing is, that opening scene was almost a one for one adaptation of the same scene in land before time. to the point that, when the first teaser came out (which was just that scene played in full), many people thought it WAS the land before time, just in "live action" till the title popped up.
@@RaptorNX01 Another reason why several seem to ignore Disney's Dinosaur is due to how extremely unlikeable Kron is. He made the film almost watchable, even though he's the secondary antagonist. When he died, I did not shed a single tear. Never once were we given a reason to care for him; he was never even given a tragic backstory - nothing like Kerchak in Tarzan, who did have a personal tragedy and later asked to be forgiven at his deathbed.
@@wesmcinerny4524 I always thought that the one reason to sympathize with Kron was just because of Neera's love for him! He was totally stuck in his ways and a douche, but he *did* just want to get the herd to the nesting grounds without losing too many as well.
@@Azayth103 But never once did he swallow his pride and apologize for his unprofessional behavior. He didn't learn a thing. He was more of a menace to the herd than the predators. Far from the ideal leader. Again, why couldn't he have been more like Kerchak from Tarzan?
I was hoping this movie would come up some time.
And Prince of Egypt is next! That movie is a masterpiece 👏
I'm not even remotely religious and I still find The Prince of Egypt a masterpiece. Truly transcends everything.
@@SnidgetAsphodel You do not need to know any of the actual Bible story or religious context to see how well done that movie is.
@@breezy3392Agreed 110%. I've had an extremely religious upbringing (Baptist) and while I am no longer personally a believer, I believe the Prince of Egypt still conveys very important themes and morals in everyday life that can relate to viewers regardless of that aspect.
Also, the soundtrack is literally a landscape of music, it's breath-taking.
@@pc_buildyb0i935 The soundtrack goes hard. The visuals are stunning. The voice acting is fantastic. The story, the characters, the directing, they hit every point.
@@breezy3392 Oh man, everything about the film is perfect, just like you listed. The chemistry the voice actors had with one another is next level, and every voice fits the character so well you'd swear they were born for the role.
The dinosaurs they have in the movie are Iguanodon, Styracosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Stygimoloch, Microceratus, Parasaurolophus, Velociraptors, Ankylosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Carnotaurus, and Struthiomimus 🦖🦕
Are they from the same era?
Are they from the same era?
@@HarmonyOCThey're not. Most dinosaurs in the movie are from the Late Cretaceous, but Brachiosaurus and Iguanodon are from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous.
Don't forget the Oviraptor
@SarD3an Also Parasaurolophus and Pteranodon both died out a good couple of million years before the asteroid hit. Velociraptor or something very similar to it might've been still around, but it's contentious.
Prince of Egypt is next?! I’m seriously giggling with excitement!! Cannot wait to see that reaction & I’m so glad you included it!
This movie will never not impress me. I saw it in a theatres as a kid, and I think it still holds up today. Obviously it’s not perfect, but the way they captured to movement and the facial expressions is wild. Like when Bruton shook his head, all the skin around his neck would sway back and forth with the follow through. And when the dinosaurs shouted their cheeks vibrated. I’ve seen some (albeit low budget) animations in today’s age that don’t show that much attention to detail. Also the way they integrated the CGcharacters into real environments is very impressive, especially in the ocean scene. One of my favorite shots is when Aladar gets out of the water at the beginning and they show his toes move the pebbles out of the way on the beach.
Also the MUSIC is insane. And I like that even though there are a lot of characters, they’re almost all likeable and don’t overstay their welcome. Like Zinni is silly and dumb, but they don’t shove it down your throat every five seconds. He only has a few moments like that. Unlike a lot of movies today where the comic relief is just obnoxious.
YES!!! FINALLY!!! This movie shaped my entire childhood and I still love it and watch it all the time. Never gets old for me. I'm SO happy y'all finally reacted to it!!!!!!!!!
This was one of my most rewatched vhs tapes as a kid.
Even though it's not the typical disney movie, I wish more people gave it a shot. Glad you guys did! The music and voice acting is so good!
With the background,
You are correct. A bunch of the shots, they combined real scenery with the CGI, trying to make it seem as real as possible.
It…wasn’t bad
@whitenoisereacts Ha! I won't deny that. CGI has come a long way since then.
Actually, this movie was right on the heels of the "Jurassic Park" franchise when digital CGI was fairly new. They even waited until they could acquire similar CGI. Otherwise, it would've been stop motion.
The realism for us, at the time, was quite unusual, if not captivating. Also it didnt hurt that those who wanted more dinosaurs after Jurassic Park got "Dinosaur" itself as a nice little answer. Especially kids.
LOVE this movie!! My dad actually took me & my brother to a drive-in theater to go see this when it came out
Dude, this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I remember seeing this on v h s multiple times and going over to a friend's house to watch it not just at my house Indeed such an underrated c g I dinosaur movie still love it to this day A lot of people don't give this movie enough credit
Dang watching this Disney movie, to me this film is pretty slow on most parts, but when it gets interesting that when it’s okay, hopefully the next film. You watch is the great mouse detective.
Resident dino-nut here to give you some fun facts! None of these are meant to be indictments of the movie- I, for one, think it's pretty fun, and I'm glad you guys enjoy it as well. I just think these things are worth bringiing up as they fall into one of the few topics I actually have any kind of authority to speak on.
- The backdrops are mostly live footage. Some scale models are used, and many of the plates are photoshopped, but a lot of the big outdoor shots are found in real-world locations. The intro was filmed in Hawai'i and Venezuela, Lemur Island was shot on a California ranch owned by Disney Studios, and the desert is primarily in Death Valley.
- The giant salamander, as you called it, not only a real animal, but probably the most accurate in the movie! It's modeled after Koolasuchus, a giant amphibian from Antarctica roughly 120 million years ago. The adults could reach 15 feet long! Giant amphibians were much more common before the dinosaurs and early crocodilians evolved as competition, but Antarctica never really developed ice caps throughout any of the Mesozoic, and an island continent with lush forests and cooler weather than most reptiles are comfortable in is perfect territory for weird things like Koolasuchus to evolve in.
-Pteranodon is mostly found in coastal formations and was likely to have lived much like a modern seagull or albatross,. I don't think any cliffside remains have ever been found, but it's a good dramatic location, and there were enough of them around for a long enough time that at least ONE of them had to have a nest on a cliff, so I let it slide.
-Yeah, anachronism is a big thing in this movie. Lemurs are exclusively indigenous to Madagascar, and while genetic data suggests they evolved around 60 million years ago, the jungle environment makes the actual fossilization process so rare that the earliest known fossil only dates to the last Ice Age. Primates as a whole aren't that much better off- while the oldest is sixty-five million years old, it 's found JUST after the imact layer, making it unlikely that true primates ever interacted with a non-avian dinosaur.
-The ocean kinda had to be real in the movie. This was released in 2000, when proper physics simulations were rare, expensive, and nowhere near powerful enough to match the quality of the water interactions the movie demanded.
-The "raptors" appear to be Velociraptor mongoliensis, look a LOT more like the fossils than Jurassic Park's raptors were (which were actually modeled after the larger Deinonychus), and are properly scaled compared to what an adult member of Aladar's species is supposed to be. This was also around the time that we started definitively saying that they should be feathered, but this movie was struggling enough trying to get the hair to work.
-This movie was not in 3-D, although I'd definitely pay to see a 3D re-release. Those movies certainly existed, but they were pretty rare and didn't really become a theatrical staple until Spy Kids 3D came out five years later. That was just a cool shot.
-Aladar is stated in promotional material to be Iguanodon, noted for being one of the first species prehistoric we named and one of the diagnostic species for the clade Dinosauria (the official definition is a descendant of the last common anscestor of Iguanadon, Megalosaurus, and Hylaeosaurus). The truth is slightly more complicated. In the early days, paleontologists didn't have enough data to tell extinct animals apart as well as we can today, so anything that kinda looked like an Iguanodon was just thrown in the group. Since this movie came out, we've looked at the specimens that the movie's Iguanodon are based on, and the proportions are different enough that they've been set apart as their own genus, Mantellisaurus. Although, it should be noted that Mantellisaurus is only a quarter of Iguanodon's size, and it looks like they scaled that specimen up for the role in this movie.
-The Carnotaurus in this movie was actually scaled up pretty dramatically, and it's Disney was planning on using T. rex for a part of pre-production and swapped it out for a more obscure dinosaur to make it more marketable. The real animal was much more lightly-built and probably only stood a head taller than Mantellisaurus if it was taller than it at all.
-It's probably a little more theatric here than in real life, but groundwater is definitely a thing. Many places that grow plants, like the movie's lake, have a near-permanent layer of rock and dirt underground that are soaked with rainwater that seeped in to all the little cracks and gaps between the particles. In fact, this is where wells tend to get their water- the builders dig down until they reach this water table, and it automatically fills as it spills in from the surrounding rock.
-Brachiosaurus (might actually be Giraffatitan -- same situation as Mantellisaurus) only three times Aladar's size? Try twelve! Giraffatitan easily reached 50 short tons, while Iguanodon probably maxed out at around 4. (Again, Mantellisaurus was smaller, but we're looking at the film's scale.)
Okay, rant over. Glad you had a good time!
EDIT: Forgot the Koolasuchus bit.
The Ocean with the cliffs where the Pteranodon was flying was in Australia and it’s nest with the baby pteranodons before being harassed by the Icthyornis was in Hawaii.
Also the opening scene was a combination of two to three real world locations: Orlando, Florida, Arboretum in Los Angeles California and Venezuela.
Thank you for these informations!!! It was good to read. I just don't understand why Nobu or James saying that the lemurs are monkeys, when they are not at all. While the lemurs are primates too like humans or apes and monkeys, lemurs are prosimians.
@@StoryLover-7 in their defense, Zini refers to himself as "monkey" at least twice, so there's some precedent in the text of the story.
@@Wheja_sciart Really?? I didn't hear that... Or remembering.. Thank you for saying! :)
@@StoryLover-7 "Looks like you need some help from the LOOOVE monkey."
"Who's up for a game of 'Monkey in the Middle'?"
Fun facts!
Those _different_ raptor designs are what naked little velociraptors look like. They're smaller, with long narrow snouts. But ofcourse they should be feathered.
The horned big carnivore; Carnotaurus is actually bigger than a tyrannosaurus rex in scale in this movie in comparison to the iguanadons. It of course isn't nearly this big in real life but if these movie Carnotaurus would be scaled next to everyday rexes? The rexes would be dwarfed.
The scenes with them before Aladar meets the herd was a little scary to me at a younger age. We had a collectible Dinosaur-Magazine for kids it was weekly and introduced three dinosaurs in every issue. One had a picture in it with a pack of Raptors attacking an Iguanodon about the same colour as Aladar (don't know anymore whether the Raptors were Velociraptors or Deinonychus).
When I saw this in theaters she said wow it looks so real I was 11 and growing up with Jurassic park yrs before she said it looked fake in jp she was definitely tripping . I was still obsessed with this movie . I collected all the hand puppets from McDonald’s had a sound book , got like 3 vhs 📼 tapes of it for christmas from different people.
There Is a video fame of this movie, that takes place after the movie's ending AND shows a 3rd carnotaurus arriving at the valley.
Loved this movie when I was a kid - The Carno’s would always give me nightmares, istg, still kinda do. If you guys wanna check out more earliy-ish 2000’s movies, theres another one ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’(2013) that has some really nice CG and animations to it, loved the story as a kid too. Hope you check it out!
This was my CHILDHOOD film. I've watched it so many times that I know all of the cuts, sound effects, visuals, everything. And the score by James Newton Howard, who also did Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet, is one of my absolute favourites.
Lmao same
Every sound in this movie is weirdly familiar
this was the first movie i ever watched in cinema and pretty much jumpstarted my love for dinosaurs...
its been 24 years
I remember first seeing this right after Jurassic park! I was ready for the big leagues aftee loving the land before time movies. Lots of musical bops from those.
The cg still holds up so so well. Such a great story, loveable characters, super cool villains.
Love coming back to this movie every so often ❤️
I saw this movie in the cinema when it was released. And omg what an experience it was, i will always remember that. Especially the scene with the egg travels score. It's a masterpiece, and the meteor scene was fenomenal on the big screen. Great movie and great childhood memories.
Thanks for this awesome video! This is and will always be my favourite movie of all time. Until I read the comments I didn't even realize that the story was similar to Land Before Time (another series I used to watch religiously as a kid) - that's how different they feel in execution, especially with the far higher maturity of Disney's Dinosaur.
Disney Dinosaurs is a great movie from 2001 which it was an still is my favorite Childhood CGI Animated Live Action Movie out there and I was only 9 or 10 years old when I first saw it
This also came out during my huge dino phase as a kid, and this still is one of my favorite childhood films to rewatch. Visuals are lovely, music is wonderful, and the themes are classic.
you guys I swear are the only ones reacting to all my childhood bangers
It's so, so refreshing seeing people actually ENJOY this movie...
Pterosaurs, the Bird thing you saw at the beginning carrying the egg to its cliff face nest, did actually do that.
Part of the reason why is that they hunted primarily fish, putting it next to the ocean kept them able to eat, and as large animals they couldn't really nest in trees, so they needed something bigger, the cliff being the best place. The cliff face also provided the Pterosaurs both an escape and a way to teach their young, all spartan like.
If something finds its way to the cliff, tries climbing down to them, they can just- fly away with ease. Additionally, I don't know if its proven or not, but I believe they also would toss their young from the side of the cliff so they're forced to figure out how to fly, as a er- crash course...
I think the "throw babies off cliffs"-thing is pure speculation. But then again, some bird hatchlings will willingly throw themselves off cliffs, so definitely possible. Prehistoric Planet from last year had some interesting theories on this subject tho. One was similar to a seabird colony, where several species built nests on secluded beaches and hard-to-reach-cliffs and simply raised their young until they could fend for themselves. Another was that the parents would put the soft, leathery eggs in a bed of wet seaweed to keep them from drying out and then abandon the nest as soon as the young hatched, which is based on findings that suggested that at least some pterosaurs where able to fly mere days, maybe even hours after hatching. And the show also suggested that azdarchids, the largest of the pterosaurs, would build nests on islands created by river deltas and swamps, where the young could hunt frogs, lizards and insects in isolated sanctuaries until they were strong enough to take off and leave the island behind
Im very impressed by how well the cg holds up all these years later
I love the pterodactyl flying scene, and I sometimes reenact scenes from movies, and I did something like that when I went downhill skiing. It's the speed and the rush feeling like freedom and flying.
Yes, yes, now land before time was one my favorites as a kid. I was born in 89 and I grew up with a lot of the 90s movies. But dinosaurs faze was strong and I love any movie with Dinosaur. All thought Dino King still makes me cry.
I heard someone point out how Aladar has a different worldview than the herd because he grew up with the lemurs who have much more of a human familial bond. And thinking about it now, they didnt leave behind their own, like Zuri, when the meteor came! :)
I’m so glad this was made before the Channel shuts down, if Rescuers Down Under was a part of my childhood, Dinosaur was my entire childhood, well that and Free Willy. 😂
One of the good movies from my childhood. Wasnt allowed to watch Jurassic Park so it was this.
Oh man. The graphics are really good for 2000 and the music oh... soo good. Actually the real video + CGI looks better than most new movies with only CGI.
I remember watching and enjoying this movie as a kid.
This was super fun thanks!
The raptors are actually accurate velociraptors (they're naked but the skeletal structure is spot on)
In jurassic Park the raptors are based on another species called dinonychus. The author of the jurassic Park novel called Michael chrighton called them velociraptors because it sounds cooler
When I saw Toy Story 2 in theaters, the trailer for Dinosaur played, and the trailer was actually the opening sequence of this movie! I was hooked right then and there. You're right, there are live action shots for a lot of the scenery! Visually, this movie still holds up in my opinion. It really is an underrated movie, and I always find myself coming back to it now and then. Glad you guys liked it!
Even the Teaser Trailer also was shown in theaters in Disney’s _Tarzan_ in the Summer of 1999 and on the _Tarzan_ VHS in January 2000.
I waited years just so you guys can finally watch this! This was one of my favourite Disney films growing up 😭
For the water in the desert scene: it is an very real thing! African Elephants will sometimes dig out water like that to survive the more harsh times
Yes, water can be found underground, especially a dried up lake bed. the sun or whatever heat dries up the water on top but the cool saturated ground can still contain water. Sometimes large trucks can start to sink through a dried lake bed and its spinning wheels would kick up mud. Same idea with large dinos.
The CGI itself may be a bit outdated by now, but the real environments, the character movements, the cinematography, the MUSIC, it all holds up. Still a banger movie
rewatching this makes me realize how dark this movie is, not only do they witness their entire species get wiped out THEN the rest of the movie is about trying not to die in the most brutal way.
basically this movie taught kids how Brutal Nature is
This film still gets me emotional.
Especially the score by James Newton Howard, who I also fondly remember for Peter Pan.
"As well as they can" ??! They did amazing ❤
apparently Disney's origanal plan for the film was for it to not have dialogue. They added it later because they did not think children would like it
Aladar was my dog's name,. We owned the VHS and watched it all the time. He had light gray fur and was sort of big for a poodle.
That's so cool
Yes, this movie was one of my childhood favourites. I was a real big dinosaur kid. Now I'm a dinosaur adult.
Cool thing with this movie, they used real footage of locations and added the dinos in after.
Dinosaur adults,rise up!!
This was my absolute favorite movie when I was four. I watched this movie about a hundred times. I think it started my dinosaur phase.
Fun fact: there’s a ride at Animal Kingdom based off of the movie, my family and I ride the attraction several times whenever we go to Disney World.
Sadly, it's closing
This is one of my favorite chilhood movie’s , it’s so amazing and beautifull , Aladar is a really likeable protagonist and the Carnatosauru’s alway’s creeped me out.
Very very good movie.
Yes the backgrounds was indeed live action and filmed in nature. The intro was filmed in Venezuela, Australia, Hawaii and Florida🙂 got the info from a behind the scenes documentary🙂 Love this filme!!🙌 Also a lot of the meteor scene was practical! Pretty cool!
Fun fact: The lemur of looove, is the same voice actor that does Daxter in Jak & Daxter!
One of my fav childhood movies!! Glad you guys are watching it!
I loved this movie so much as a kid. I was obsessed with dinosaurs, and this movie, along with The Land Before Time series, took up a lot of my time in front of the TV. I haven't seen it in so long, so this was a lovely trip down memory lane :')
Oh the NOSTALGIA!!! This was my favorite movie from the time I was like 4 to 8 I’m not kidding.

Aladar and his species are Iguanodon. While their anatomy is mostly accurate(especially the females), the filmmakers did take a couple of artistic liberties to anthropomorphize them, mainly with their faces. In real life, their eyes faced to the sides like horses, and their snouts had rounded beaks instead of lips. The growth on the snouts of Kron and Bruton seems to be explained as hardened osteoderms(the armored scales featured on crocodiles) that grow with age. The other main difference is their forelimbs, which couldn't turn in real life, so their hands faced palm-to-palm even when walking on all fours, so they would instead run on two legs. Their forelimbs were a lot more buff as well.
The Carnotaurus was actually supposed to have a few lines of dialogue during the final fight, but the producers thought it would be too creepy so it was removed. But i wish they kept it.
I actually prefers that they don't talk, it gives them more animalistic vibe and not just another evil villain
Grew up watching it and love it and have been waiting a few years for you 2 to finally watch it
The funny thing about them making the predators less "human", more like monsters, is that the predators would actually have probably tended to be the smartest of the dinosaurs.
My favorite dinosaur is the Spinosaurus.
Me too
The JP3 "made up" Spinosaurus probably, because the real one was very different.
I absolutely loved the Land Before Time movies, but they're definitely more for a younger audience. Like I still love them, but when you go back and watch them it feels younger than you remember. But the first one at least is definitely worth watching and I would love to see your reaction.
I haven’t ever seen them
Yes, I'd also love to see James and Nobu react to the first Land Before Time movie, since it does have some intense animations.
The first Land Before Time was traumatic. The MANY sequels were kind of cringy musicals without the consequences of the first movie.
Dinosaurs was one of my favorite Disney Classics in the 2000, Aladar which was an iguanodon dinosaur and the Connoisseurs for my favorite dinosaurs that lived in the Cretaceous period. T. rex also lived in the same time, did these dinosaurs ever meet one another I don’t know, some lived in the western part of the United States and some in Europe!!!
In the deleted scenes, They talk about how they shot The scene of the meteor crashing and little meteors hitting lemur Island, it said that they shot flares into the sky while taking video of that. What animators did is that they took the footage and turned it around which gave the appearance of meteors falling from the sky!!!!

Pteranodon(though the species featured in the film is now classified as a separate species called Geosternbergia)was a marine pterosaur, equivalent to modern-day seagulls and albatrosses, so they would settle on shorelines for nesting.
YES, I love this movie! I saw it in the imax theater when it came out, and the first sequence where the egg traveled was so cool with that big of a screen. It felt like being in a helicopter flying along, as well.
I absolutely love this movie!! It was so cool when I was a kid
Aladar is such a green flag- he's not a major kid person, but he acts as a wing man to Zini and his adopted siblings, he's nice to Neera, and he tries to find ways to help others, even when it makes him look uncool.
this is one of my childhood favorites, love it sooooooo much. happy to se you guys wstching it.
DINO NOTES- (not complaints, just data)
The raptors we see here (with the slimmer form and longer jaws) actually bear a closer resemblance to Velociraptor than the ones seen in Jurassic Park, but are still iffy in size (V-raptor was 6 feet long).
Carnotaurus was only 25 feet long or so, but this film correctly portrays it as an ambush predator, stalking from the trees before charging in like a killer freight train.
Iguanodon was one of the first dinosaurs discovered, they originally thought its thumb-claw was a nose horn.
Styracosaurus (the triceratops-like one) easily has one of the more terrifying horn designs to be chased by. The nose horn could be up to two feet long.
Ankylosaurus has had fossils discovered in Antarctica.
Oviraptor ("Egg Thief") was so-named because it was found near a nest, later revealed to be its own eggs. It's not a "raptor", per se, but is kind of in that family the same way a tabbycat is related to a jaguar.
Brachiosaurus . . . is big?
