Krone actually had deleted scenes that would've given him much more depth to his character. I believe in one of them he sacrificed himself to save his sister.
The deleted Scene was the raptors attacking Neera and the baby's but Kron scars them off and says "You don't know how lucky you are. Both of you get back to the herd!!!....forget our ways again and you are on your own" to his sister
I never saw the theater realease but I was so obsessed with the movie as a kid. The models and animation of the dinosaurs was ahead of its time (in my opinion) and I was so upset to learn how underrated it was.
I wonder why the herbivores and fight back though, if it’s a large amount of herbivores they could probably all gang up on it but we don’t know their intelligence and they are probably all panicking so can’t expect a lot.
Ngl I never seen it but after watching some scenes, I've noticed that the characters go through the most cliche dialogue ever. And even though the animation looked good for it's time, looking back at it just makes me with Disney did better
interesting note is that those other female lemurs are paler, and lighter, than the original family tree where aladar grew up, meaning that likely, theyre a slightly different breed/specie, or just have lighter markings, and therefore, they find Zinnys markings and colors appealing, because he's lighter like they are. His albinism inadvertently made him more appealing to a lighter color type of lemur.
I would like expect as much. The designers were so devoted to accuracy that they even intended to give the raptors feathers originally. The only reason they’re bald in the final film is because feathers were still too difficult to animate satisfactorily at the time.
One of the most underrated dinosaur movies if not movies in general of all time. More emotion, action and heroics in this movie than most modern tv haha -Jacob
The whole reason Kron became such a hard-headed obstacle, was Pride. He's been leading this herd with the belief that only the strong will survive, so no concessions are needed for the weak. Understandable, as you say. However, he has a young upstart come in that is far more charismatic but has views that oppose his own. This is also coming off of hard times, where his (people) have come to depend on him. His way has to be right, otherwise he's been sacrificing those in his charge for nothing. And so, his Pride creates his downfall. That makes him a fairly tragic character in my opinion. Not a victim of ambition, but of the necessities of survival.
That is very relatable... seeing humanized animal characters who express awareness of their own condition. Once, all of us were subservient to nature, yet even if we (the human species) have assumed greater mastery over the natural world, those harsh conditions still influence our worldview... our pride. Kron often reminds me of the very people who takes great pride in a rigid body of norms that has enabled them to survive before the world became more interconnected. Because we live in an inequitable world, a lot of people are still bound by such norms, and those who look beyond the horizon are often met with harsh opposition, even to the point where such a community is no longer safe for them. On the same token, the world has become less safe for such community. Being resolute in one's logic or conviction is a virtue in its own right; the problem is that conviction being the only thing the beholders' lives revolve around which could render them dismissive, sensitive to criticism, and unwilling to adapt when the rules have changed.
I don't think kron towards the end becomes stupid, I think he just didn't want to admit that he's wrong and aladar is right, because then it would mean he's not a good leader and the herd wont listen to him anymore, in other words, he was too proud to admit he had gone the wrong way
One of the original story concepts was a styacosaurus leading his herd and going up against the t-rex in the middle of the notorious meteor shower. Imagine how epic that fight would've been in the meteor scene.
I don't think the meteor strike was as "localised" as it seemed. It wasn't an extinction level event, but it's strongly hinted that it was responsible for drying the water table and causing the drought, causing volcanic and tectonic activity that filled in that pass to the valley with rock-slides, and Bruton even says "the fireball must have driven them out" in reference to the Carnotaurs occurring far outside their natural range.
I always interpreted that meteor as a first sign of the END. Like hey this is a demonstration of the inevitable but on a smaller scale. Idk if it makes sense but that's how I see it
@@oscarramirez2697 Oh definitely, I think it was also a bit of purposeful irony, as in, we, the audience, know that a meteor strike will end the age of the dinosaurs and usher in the age of mammals, and yet, this particular meteorite instead wiped out an island full of mammals, didn't even kill the one and only dinosaur in the area.
@@littlefoot5013 It could just be a plot hole, after all, it's never mentioned that there are other nesting sites, but the flat plains and dense thicket we see in the beginning doesn't look like the enclosed valley and lake of the nesting grounds, I think aladar is from an entirely different area, maybe even a different continent than the other dinosaurs, that egg travelled quite far to get to the lemur island, after all.
Aladar is honestly quite a cutie. And Plio is a good mom. Also, actually yes: hatchlings/little ones would be the first targets. Little risk for the predator to get injured here and the gain would still be sufficient.
maybe for a smaller animal, but something as big as a carno would actually need something bigger to make up for the energy extended to chase the baby when it started running, plus if it has babies that tiny baby it chased would not be enough to feed them all
@@Sassafrass95 That's the point, the Carno would not have wasted it's time to chase the little one that long. Once in range, it just would have snatched it up with is jaws, swallowing it on the spot. From what I could tell, the little Para was a perfect size for the Carno's stomach. There was no actual need to try and pic a fight with something that could seriously injure it. Animals are clever enough for that type of thinking.
@@Myuutsuu85 Based on biomechanical studies, Carnotaurus was actually built for running and was among the fastest of all large theropods with an estimated top speed of around 35 mph. The chase at the beginning would be just a walk in the park for it.
Fun fact: The actor who voiced Kron, the late Samuel E. Wright, was also the voice of Sebastian from The Little Mermaid, and he originated the role of Mufasa in the Lion King Broadway musical. Speaking of which, the voice of Zini, Max Casella, originated the role of Timon.
Fun fact: He also voiced Daxter from the Video Game “Jak & Daxter” too as well even in other Video Games Sequels of it. The man Max Casella truly is a Legend.
I love that they used real environments and animated the Dinosaurs into the scenery. Also the Carnotaurus is my number 1 Carnotaurus design ever. Really nice to have another dinosaur being a villain other than a Trex.
@@DJ118USMC same here. I’m glad they brought it back in Camp Cretaceous, but a stand alone film with the Ceratosaurus as a villain or main character would be nice
@The Philosoraptor it was the original idea but they picked Carno cause the T. rex was overused and I thought that was a great choice to do. Cause I loved the carno and how demonic it looked
The horror aspect of this movie always kind of surprised me given its rating and Disney branding. In the scene where Bruton and the other Iguanodon get ambushed, you literally see the other guy getting eaten in the background while Bruton makes his escape. (This same iguanodon was very much alive and talking seconds ago). The dark scenes with the Carnotaurs are honestly terrifying as well, such as the scene where Aladar has a close brush with the survivor of the cave incident. It really adds to the movie, and gives it that kind of gritty, impartial natural world vibe that I love to see. The movie usually doesn't seem soft or childish at all, which just makes it so much better.
I miss the times where family movies weren't afraid of taking risks and delving into the darkness. Nowadays, everything has been all sugar coated KidzPop Illumination style Barney the Dinosaur kiddy fodder.
There’s a deleted scene where Nera tries to save the baby Dino’s from velociraptors and Krone is all “Nera, come back!” and even as badly rendered rough draft 3d sprites he looks terrified for her And they almost get her and the kids when Krone runs the predators off and says “Forget our ways again, and I might not be there to save you next time…” so you’re right he does care about her, all they have left family-wise is each other, but he acts tough so the herd will take him seriously.
a video praising one of my most favorite dinosaur movies that is also hated for the dumbest reasons?? Yes please! I enjoyed your headcanons for some of the characters' backgrounds, 'cause I wish we could have learned more about them. You really fleshed them out. Also, HOW DID I JUST REALIZE ZINI IS ALBINO?? WHAT??? 22 YEARS I'VE WATCHED THIS FILM AND I ONLY JUST-- I'd like to add one tiny detail to make Kron's death ever more painful tho, and that is that he died thinking his baby sister hated him 😢
Aww. I think he realized that his sister loved him because he saw her trying to save his life one last time. It must have been scary because he couldn't protect her and he died not knowing what happened to her
@@akshaykumarjha9136 1.some say because the characters are "boring" 2. Another reason is the story is kinda cliche( btw the story is familiar but you can make it different to make it feel fresh and new)
Fun Fact: RoboCop director Paul Verhoeven was going to make this into a stop motion animation film with Oscar Winning VFX artist Phil Tippet in 1986. They even brought the idea to Disney where the story involved a Styracosaurus fighting off a Tyrannosaurus while trying to look for his family and the film would have ended with the meteor striking the Earth killing all the dinosaurs. Production was going to begin, but after the success of The Land Before Time and JURASSIC PARK, the project was shelved until it was picked up in 1998 by 2 time Oscar Winning VFX company Dream Quest Images working with Disney to form a company called The Secret Lab which was shut down in 2005.
For those who want a taste of what that version of Dinosaur would have been like, check out Tippett's short film "Prehistoric Beast" you can find it on his UA-cam channel. Personally I think we where robbed of the Dinosaur movie we really wanted to see, not that I don't mind what we got, but would have referred Phil's original vision.
@@radiogobrrrrrrr1949 not sure, know a few people that where attached to the project originally, but I don't know if they where aware of the script at that stage in its preproduction.
I'm glad they added the Oviraptor, a really underrated maniraptoran in my opinion. I'm also glad they showed it trying to eat eggs, as even though there's no evidence that Oviraptor actually ate eggs (the fossil that earned it it's name was protecting it's own eggs, not stealing another dinosaur's), there's still a chance that eggs would be a golden opportunity, especially if the Oviraptor had growing babies.
In the original script of the film, there was going to be a pair of Oviraptors in the herd. They were going to have classy, aristocratic personalities that would contrast with their role in the herd as “undertakers” that fed on the dead.
This movie is overhated imo. I absolutely love this movie both because of nostalgia since I watch this a ton when I was a little and also because I just don’t really understand why people hate it. The cg although being a bit outdated is still very good and really holds up. especially how they animated the weight of the dinosaurs. The only thing that looks really dated is the lemurs. The story is quite simple but I think that works in its favor. I also like how they make the iguanodons not fodder for the carnivores they can still beat the shit out of a Carnotaurus if they can. Speaking of the Carnotaurus, those things when I was little gave me nightmares and kind of still due to this day they were very terrifying though the one thing I wish they included is that the carnivores are able to speak or at least we can understand them Because I feel like they could have very interesting dialogue of what they’re saying like for example The scene after the one Carnotaurus Diaz and the other one escaped cave I can imagine the Carnotaurus shouting in pure fury maybe they had a sibling like relationship so he or she has a major grudge in Alador. but either way they’re still very cool Villains although the way they die is a bit cliché. speaking of clichés of course the love interest plot line personally I don’t really mind it since it’s actually kind of sweet instead of it feeling forced or cringe. also I appreciate they don’t make The herbivores as the sweet lovable peacful animals, instead they show how incredibly brutal selfish and animalistic they can be. I like how they leave stragglers behind selfishly poured water for themselves being incompetent when another member of the herd says they have a better solution, I think it’s really well done. Also the music in this movie is absolutely gorgeous hands-down one of the most beautiful soundtracks I’ve heard in my life. The only thing I really don’t like about it is that some of the models look a bit weird and you’re right the eyes just look off. Except the carnivores they have perfect designs. I think the reason why they gave them such weird eyes and human features because that would make us “relate”to them. instead he gave us a bit of “uncanny valley” effect and the other thing that I don’t like about this movie is the lemurs but I think that’s a pretty much popular opinion. I honestly hope more dinosaurs movies like these come out I understand we have the Jurassic Park movies but they can only do so much what they have. I want a animated dinosaur movie that really pushes the story elements of dinosaurs and gives us a magical world filled with prehistoric creatures and if you’re gonna have dialogue in it please make it good don’t make the same mistake as “walking with dinosaurs”.
@The Philosoraptor I would say a large majority of moviegoers do not like this movie and though that’s completely fine because it’s a subjective thing but I do feel like they overlook a lot of positive things about this movie.
@@diooverheaven6561 there are many people who dislike or even hate it: the most common criticisms are "it's too similar to "Land Before Time" or "what a boring/bland movie!" Personally, I always liked both movies and I think "Dinosaurs" deserves some more recognition
Agreed, an asshole and a villain are not the same thing. I mean think about this, not everyone wants to be an asshole. For some they start off wanting to be seen as kind caring and sweet. Then suddenly someone comes along and calls them an asshole, and others start joining in and gaining up on them, and the way they see it they are right about that person because the majority says so, and therefore that makes them the one at fault. So now that person is an asshole, and there is nothing they can do about it.
In terms of sound designs, I prefer the Carnotaurus sound from this movie over the 1 from Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. The 'Fallen Kingdom' Carnotaurus sound can be used in other Abelisaurids in future media
I'm pretty sure you didn't notice that one of the carnotaurs was smaller than the other hinting at a mating pair or even a parent and child and the younger one seems to be much less patient and got hit by Bruton onto the Rock pillar which gave him the idea to bury them and the larger one lives and looks back at the other carnotaur seeing it dead and scoffs further pushing the "every man for himself thing" besides grief he needs to survive after he heals he will continue following the heard its just a nice detail to look at
@@dustyrose192 Female carnivorous theropods seemed to be as a rule larger than males, or at least the same size. So it's not out of the question that this was her child or a failed life partner.
I grew up with this gem of a movie, still not tired of it no matter the inaccuracies that still prevail. Watching non-humans in film was always of great interest to me, especially the animal kind.
I like to think of that big meteor(which the characters themselves refer to as "The Fireball") as a starting point or foreshadowing of this universe's extinction event. We already know it's caused some drastic environmental changes like the total destruction of the lemur island, the intense drought, the nesting grounds' entrance being blocked, the carnotauruses being driven from their usual hunting grounds, etc. The idea of a slow-burning extinction event feels more believable to me than one meteor killing everything in one go anyway. Yes, the blast itself would kill thousands upon thousands of animals, but the lasting effects would seal the deal, however long they lasted. The nesting grounds just happened to be far enough from the blast to not be immediately affected, probably because of the surrounding mountains. I wouldn't be surprised if the fallout slowly started to spread there, though. Maybe not in the characters' lifetimes, but eventually.
This movie was also made just before they discovered that the KT Impact asteroid would've fried the Earth in the first 24 hours of impact and temporarily destroyed the ozone layer among other disasters. So, at the time this movie was made the belief was that the impact merely triggered severe global climate change which killed the dinosaurs.
I saw this when I was 4 and when the dinosaur got killed in the beginning my mother was like "Huh, you maybe too young for this." And then they started talking and it was like. "Oh this is fine." Watching this triggered a memory. I had a toy Aladar that when you submerged him in water you could see his bones. He also had little holes in him that I guess was supposed to be from when the raptors bit him. I think the little raptors came with him as well. Kinda dark but love the attention to detail when thinking back.
I think its more correct to show youngsters that death exists. I don't like all of these others where the characters can survive stuff like they are invincible. It might be giving kids a false belief that life is always and death is never.
I guess Kron could be under the pressure of being leader and in his mind he NEEDS to be right, so therefore he is, otherwise he's led the herd into danger with no light at the end of the tunnel. He can't handle that stress.
To this day, the meteor scene is still the most intense Disney has ever gotten. The score, sound design, special effects, voice acting; this entire sequence is TERRIFYING 😳😨
Krone's outlook reminds me of a quote from a book series by my favorite author: “Strength is the first virtue,” Alera said. “That is not a pleasant fact. Its distastefulness does not alter the truth that without strength to protect them, all other virtues are ephemeral, ultimately meaningless.” - Codex Alera by Jim Butcher
That's a really fitting quote for Kron, it's a shame that he isn't as well liked. He may have been pretty rough around the edges but he ultimately was a good leader and tried to do what was best for the survival of the herd.
This is one of my favorite Disney and dinosaur movies and I like how they use a Carnotaurus as the main antagonist instead of using a T-Rex like many films did before. Don’t get me wrong I like the T-Rex but it’s been used several times as a villain.
@@jaylenharris343 as well as hearing Samuel E. Wright’s voice in this threw me off a little bit because I was used to hearing him as a crab in a Jamaican accent.
This movie, together with jurassic park, were what sparked my interest in dinosaurs. No matter how inaccurate the dinos here are this movie will always have a special place in my heart
1: If the Carnataurus did talk in the film, then give him/her an outlaw type of voice, like the rattlesnake cowboy from Rango. 2: People who have watched this movie have the same issue with the JP franchise, the whole inaccurate bull scat. 3: As much as I don't like Kron, the writers could of had him say his final words, like have him admit that he was a selfish coward.
Disney actually planned on having feathered raptors in this movie but apparently, they were too expensive and difficult to render at the time with CGI so that's part of the reason you have the standard Hollywood naked raptors in this film.
Interesting enough i research concept art for this movie and the animals were actually supposed to be WAY more colorful and feathered... but sadly, it didn't make the cut because the animation team couldn't figure out how to render the feathers to make look good enough and also if they were more colorful I guess It would raise the budget for the film
There's one animal I'm glad didn't make the cut: Nanshiungosaurus. I do like the concept art for most of the animals, but the scrapped Nanshiungosaurus design, err, let's just say that they made it a quadrupedal, anteater-looking bassturd and it was apparently insectivorous. Ok, I get that therizinosaurids weren't that well understood back in the day but, had they included Nanshiungosaurus in the movie, then people would believe that they were quadrupedal reptilian anteaters when we know that they were bipedal feathered herbivores, so that depiction would have become outdated very quickly. 😅
I heard somewhere that the raptors were going to have a sort of Native American vibe, with the feathers being reminiscent of feathered headdresses. Or maybe I’m misremembering.
@@ctshaffer1999 I dixn't known about this... but I do know that at one point the raptor pack wasn't even a raptor pack to begin with: there was only one Velociraptor, and the rest were one Avimimus and one Garudimimus
There’s actually a deleted scene where The two babies get attacked by velociraptors and Neera goes to save them and gets attacked her self but Kron saves her and the babies after saying “There are on their own you know that.“ So yeah you were right on the money
Thank you for reminding me why I loved this movie so much as a child. It was and will always be one of my favorite movies of all time. The musical score, the characters, the visuals... What a work!
I didn't know the two main lemers were father daughter, I thought they were an old married couple. With her being like a mother figure to everyone and giving the younger females advice on choosing a mate like how the dad was telling the younger males to do a back-flip then guess. The flower thing went over my head to but that one is supposed to go over kids heads like us when we watched it when it came out. I just completely didn't pay attention to the family structure of the main characters when their literally on Aladars back most of the time.
While there’s some questionable aspects about it (an ankylosaurus acting like a dog, just why?), Dinosaur has aged shockingly well, and I wish it got more love back in the day. Almost feels like this is how Land Before Time could’ve been had that series actually tried to progress instead of being stuck in limbo. I honestly wish a sequel had been made for it, even if it still works by itself. And while it still had some Tyrannosaurus aspects put into its design (like it’s size), I love how the filmmakers had the guts to go with another theropod like Carnotaurus. Heck, the choice in dinosaurs in general was refreshing. Also the asteroid that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs is estimated to have been roughly the size of Mount Everest.
I find it strange that Url acts like a dog, when earlier in the movie, in the egg travels scene, there's two Ankylosaurs of some kind and they act like, well, dinosaurs, not dogs. So my headcanon is that Url used to talk and act like a regular dinosaur and he's an old friend of Eema, but his old age made him go senile and he's suffering from what is basically dino Alzheimer's and lost the ability to speak, and poor Eema has to talk to him like he's a dog. I know, sounds dark and sad but I have no other explanation for why he acts like that.
@@cintronproductions9430 That’s about the only explanation I can think my myself. It’s really the one genuinely stupid part in what is otherwise a very solid movie.
One thing that surprised me about the final battle was that after Aladar hits the Carnotaurus with the classic tail-whip, the Carnotaurus immediately retaliates with a tail-whip of his own. Usually, in movies and TV, the tail-whip is used by the herbivores, but this was the first and only time (that I can recall) where a carnivore uses that move.
I love this movie, it was actually the first dinosaur movie I ever saw as a kid, but whenever I talked about it at school, no one had ever heard of it and just thought it was a knock-off land before time movie. Glad to see this movie getting recognition and love.
8:57 that's a tricky question to ask. We have to consider two other things. Speed and what the rock was made out of. ( a rock that made out the toughest, durable material in the universe going to crash earth at half of speed of light. It doesn't matter if the size of it is as big as your first. That enough energy to make a second moon out of the earth. That's if we'll lucky. Worst case scenario it hit our core. Causing an apocalypse due to the destruction and reconstruction of the planet plates. Everyone on top of would need a miracle to just survive the first hour. Nvm trying to live the rest of their lives Now consider this is only a local thing. (We don't know how far the blast have affected the area) and the fact it didn't got evaporated due the heat. I say the Asteroid was probably on the lower end of the average asteroid that hits earth. It's strong enough the make the start of the impact but just right after it will shatter into millions pieces. Actually the scene of them running away from it. Some of those rock that hit the island could have originally been apart of it.
Ah yes wonderful. Alteori isnt stressing over one movie instead, she is reviewing movies she enjoyed. What a nice change Also why is the carnotaurus the size of a literal T-rex
It was originally going to be T. rex, but it was changed to a Carnotaurus late in production to make things more interesting. Carnotaurus had only been discovered two decades earlier and was still relatively obscure at the time. This movie is part of what made it so popular today.
It's so good to see more people acknowledging this movie lately. It's one of my favorites, and definitely one of Disney's darkest movies. It's not a musical with bright colors. It's gritty, real, intense. You have dinosaurs trying not to die everyday, and some DO die! It's very real, I appreciate that
I loved the score of this film, and still listen to it often. THis film was the first film made by Disney Digital animation, and they were trying to do something different, that wasn't Pixar. Chicken Little followed, and soon Lassiter headed both studios. You could look at this as "The Prince of Egypt", for Disney Digital.
I love Disney's Dinosaur (2000) from the Post Renaissance Era of Walt Disney Animation Studios. It's one of my favorite underrated animated movie back in my childhood. It's not that a boring movie, it's one of the good movies. And the the soundtracks are the masterpiece.
I recall reading that they planned to have the camera pan out in the finale to show a larger meteor heading towards the earth, heavily hinting that the first was a small piece of a larger disaster... but they decided it was too dark. ^^'
@@general_enslaver_of_cactii867 oh wow, get everybody's hopes up like "Yay! They're going to live!" Camera pans out to bigger meoter heading their way, "They're gonna DIE!" Oh that would have killed me
People hating on this movie is weird. It has perfect material for a cartoony dinosaur movie. I guess because they were talking and a carnotaurus became suddenly a t-rex? I guess it’s because iguanodons didn’t coexist with brachiosaurus (jurassic sauropod) or tarchia, neither velociraptors and carnotaurs. But, it’s a fiction, so yea some people just go total mad on this when like Beauty and the Beast has literal talking objects. The movie is great, but could’ve had a wider story without having lots of scenes deleted. The soundtrack was...beautiful. Neera too. The designs for Bruton and Kron were pretty much inspired from a hadrosaur (probably mutta because of the crest). The weirdest twist that got me tho: Lemurs coexisting with dinosaurs?!
This movie actually introduced me to the carnotaurus. I remember when I was a kid I thought it looked super cool and scary. The carnotaurus are really the main part I remember of the film to be honest.
YES! thank you Alteori for reviewing this underrated dinosaur film :) I also had an animation instructor who worked at Disney's Secret Lab who worked on this project she was telling her story how they had to write special Renderman shaders for the eyes.
I remember watching this in the movies on school tour. I was so attached to the movie that I said to my friend "I wanna marry a dinosaur", he bursted out laughing and told the whole group which my crush heard and she gave me a disgusted look 😂 aah.. memories..
This was one of the next movies I was hoping you would review. Good stuff. The score for this film is an absolute masterpiece. Kinda funny how no one can actually explain the ankylosaur that acts like a dog. I'm surprised we didn't get to hear you react to Zinni's "The Love Monkey" moment.
I like to imagine Url (yes, that is how it’s officially spelled for some reason) acts like a dog because he has brain damage from being clubbed in the head by another ankylosaur
I loved this film as a kid! Only thing I would change? Maby not have the characters talk & behave more like real animals to use the principle of “show don’t tell”. I think it would have made this film even better, But for what we got, It’s still really great!
the actual meteor was so large as it hit most of the meteor was still poking out of the atmosphere. The astroid there was i’m guessing looks to be about 1-2 km in diameter and the chicxulub impactor (the one that caused the extinction) was 10-12km in diameter maybe ever larger. But it was big enough to cause some of the largest earthquakes that have ever occurred on earth and tsunamis kilometres high. Ash from the astroid and earth surrounded the globe completely blocking sunlight and heating the atmosphere to oven like temperatures basically cooking every living thing alive.
I’m so glad more people are talking/reviewing my favorite film of all time. After all these years later I’m still so happy that Disney didn’t put a T-Rex as the villain but they put a dinosaur that wasn’t really well known at the time as the villain of the movie.
You're not the only one who loved Disney's Dinosaur. I loved that movie ever since I was only 4 years old. And now almost 21 years later, I still love it
This is and has always been my favourite Disney movie of all time, i remember going into the Cinema at the age of 6 and being in complete awe, I had literally every toy, i even remember getting the game on Dreamcast lol, If there's any disney movie that needs a sequel it's this, Just imagine how amazing that'd be, Disney pleaseeee (I'm sad because they won't, for some reason despite how amazing and groundbreaking the animation format was, it still holds up, it was just forgotten and it's such a shame)
I've been watching Dinosaur since 2006 Love it so much to this day! A the end when all the dinos are roaring, and the parasaur roars... That sound effect was so cool and it was the reason paras became my favorite herbivore
I LØVE Dinosaur! I watched this on vhs when I was a kid Ah the joys of growing up in the early 2000s After jurassic park I was obsessed with dinosaurs and monsters 🦖 This movie would be an 11/10 if Godzilla was in it
This along with Flubber, The Lion King, Mighty Jo Young, and the Jurassic Park movies were the things I rewatched constantly from a giant bin of VHS tapes as a kid.
2 things of note: -Since you're on DeviantArt, I recommend checking out IsisMasshiro's "Disney Dinosaur" parody. The Bruton parts are my favorites :) -I'm glad you pointed out the Carnotaurus killing those almost-ready-to-hatch baby Iguanodon & also mentioned Tarzan (which begins w/a leopard killing a cute little baby gorilla). I've been thinking about both movies recently in reference to how disappointing Dominion is: 1 of the best/darkest parts of the JP novels is when the compys eat the baby, yet no kids have ever been eaten in the movies; Dominion had the perfect opportunity to change that w/dinos & pteros re-taking over the world (& thus, conflicting w/humans much more than in the other movies) & wasted it; If Disney can kill off cute little baby characters multiple times, why can't the JP/JW franchise do so even once despite having MUCH more reason to?
I know I am a year late, but after 16 yrs of not seeing this film, it has left a long standing memory. It is so familiar and relatable (in a character perspective)
The Egg Travels Scene will forever be one of the scenes I will remember forever from any movie until I die. It is that ingrained in my memory. The score helped a lot too.
One of my favorite childhood movies. I remember how I was desperate as kid to see it over again and again. For me personally, it had only one issue: For some stupid reason I mixed up "Aladar" with "Eragon" which we also had in our DVD collection. My poor parent were "What the fuck are you asking for?" when they played their son a movie with guy and his blue feathered talking dragoness, as he asked for, but he says that there should be talking dinosaurs with lemurs (^^)"
This movie was one of my all time favorites! Honestly the fact that this doesn’t have much credit to how much technological features it has is amazing!
Max Casella, the voice of Zini, was also the voice of Daxter from the Jak & Daxter franchise. If you want some decent (and more adult from the second game onwards) comedy, I'd recommend at least watching playthroughs and\or cutscenes. Also, Eema was played by the late Della Reese, who was always a delight to watch, and to hear sing🙏💖!
So true. I just found out about both Max Casella Voice Actor of Zini who voiced Daxter from Jak & Daxter & Della Resse Voice Actor of Eema who voiced her since either last year in 2022 or 2 years ago in 2021. If I had not never watched this Movie back then as a Kid, I probably would have never knew who Max Casella is like I do now since I now realize he is a Real Living Legend of my Childhood. I honestly don’t remember how I first heard about him from a year or 2 but I’m just glad I did because it’s so interesting to learn new things you never knew about. Fun Fact though, Della Resse was in a Movie with Eddie Murphy called “Harlem Nights” from back in 1989 & she was also in a Movie with Martin Lawrence who played to be his Mom called “A Thin Line Between Love & Hate” from back in 1996 which is the same exact year I was born in. Della Resse was definitely a Real Life Living Legend I do sometimes wish I got to meet her if I had knew who she was before she sadly passed away from almost 6 years ago later on November 19th, 2017. May Della Reese’s soul rest heavenly in peace that I will never forget about her who was a good & great person that’s forever missed till this very day.
This movie come out in 2000 to kids its a Disney movie not a national Geographic doc, the CGi in that movie still amazes me today, it was incredible when i saw it on cinema, that movie is one of the main reasons why i love dinossaurs, i was a kid when it come out and that was amazing, the carnos were terrifing
God, where to start with this movie? The music, the emotional expressions, and the behaviours of the dinosaurs were everything to me as a child. - The Opening hunt scene: Watching the mother try and protect her eggs from the stampeding dinosaurs was so heartbreaking because she wanted to stay for as long as she could but the Carnotaur hadn't caught anything so she had to abandon them. Imaging putting all the effort into gestating the eggs, laying them in the nest you built, and then in literal minutes the entire clutch gets wiped out (because her last remaining egg gets stolen). - The Meteorite Scene: Not only the most memorable part from the movie but the most well done meteor impact scene i have ever seen. Sure you have the extinction events at the end of documentaries but there is something about being introduced to the characters personally, being in their position, and then feeling what it would have felt like from their point of view. All the other movies with similar scenes just have the camera positioned like third person as if we were watching instead of experiencing. And god the music when it was falling and everyone was just staring..... uuuhhhhg! - Then the end where they make it to shore, for some reason the way the stones and the water look as his foot pushes through them just looks so cool. But that might be my nerdiness peaking through. - Raptor Scene: I enjoyed this because i could imagine the hide on Aladar watching how the raptor's teeth pierced but not completely, and the claws in him as he ran but didn't seem to hurt too much. So his hide must be like chunk of wood that has been drenched for a little few days; solid but has some give when you stick your nail in it (i don't know, i'm weird for doing this as a kid i guess). - Kron: I feel like if his sister did start to fall behind or collapses and couldn't continue he would wait with her for a little bit and try to motivate her to get up but..... i feel like Kron is the type to realize that she isn't going to make it and he needs to push the herd onward to the nesting grounds. He is a hard ass, and does care about his sister, but he is not hypocritical and would leave her if he had to (or if he couldn't save her). Kron drinking first kind of makes sense because he is the leader and needs to be at his best to make the right decisions. Kind of like the insanity that is star trek where they kept letting the captain go off world on dangerous missions; loved the show but man was that unrealistic. - The fight between Kron and Aladar is bad ass but i don't think Kron is being unreasonable considering Aladar has challenged his leadership basically at every turn. Kron is just trying to hold on to his roll and not give it up to some random guy who hasn't lived through the experiences; Kron is still trying to protect the herd. If Kron was just antagonistic for the sake of it he wouldn't bother warning Aladar or even giving him chances after he over steps... he was actually being pretty reasonable for an animal in a dire situation. - And then my second favourite part of the movie and most favourite part in stories. When Aladar just stands his ground with the charging Carnotaur and starts calling him out. The Carnotaur is like "waaaa?". Always love that because for predators, they know what they usually hunt, the size and look of their prey but when they encounter something that looks like prey but acts like they don't care about shit the predator gets worried. It's probably a survival instinct that has been continued throughout different species. Like if an animal has rabies generally things stay away from it because the behaviour is strange and if you take that risk you may not pass on your genes. Just like cats chasing down fully grown bears, the cats are not acting normal and the bear (even though it can easily kill it) is thinking "okay, you should be afraid of me but you are not, in fact you are actively challenging me so something must be wrong with you and i'm not dealing with this today". In the animal world actually size and strength is important but usually attitude can get you pretty far too. So challenging something you have no business taking on is a red flag for them. "Bitch you stepping towards me? well you must be stronger then i think or something wrong with you. Either way i will not waste calories and my health on you, goodbye". - The ending just gave me all kinds of respect for Kron because he was trapped, tired, stressed for days with the responsibility of the herd, and had this random guy steeling his herd, his sister and then having her turn on him. Yet, with all that he still saw the hopeless situation being trapped on the edge of the cliff and was like "fuck", turned and faced the Carnotaur like "you chased me and my herd across the desert and you think i'm just going to lay down and take this. You are gonna work for your meal". I have mad respect for anyone who knows its a lost cause but still fights because they are not going down like a damp rag, they are taking you with them to hell.
@@aladar488 "How can i explain it?". What is there to explain? My comment only talked about how Krons reactions made sense considering how Aladar was acting. Still don't understand what the issue is with the scratch, sorry.
3:17 I agree. I can understand why they did this since it was the popular opinion at the time. Still it would have been nice to see color on these dinosaurs. Imagine they creators get inspired by the birds of paradise.
a thing im still trying to figure out to this day, is that when Aladar and the others first spot the raptor, as it goes over the hill you clearly hear someone laughing in the distance, like a heheheh kinda laugh. Was it the raptor?
“All the babies look like the letter C” had me cracking up. Also, gosh, I vaguely remember this movie, but in that fever dream kind of way. I couldn’t be sure it was real until finding this review.
I still remember the day my parents took me and my sister to see this at the movies. That was the first time I've been to the cinema. They even bought the Aladar, Neera and Eema toys. We didn't get the Baylene toy, though.
I always thought that Kron got a bit too drunk on his power or was a little messed up mentally. Or maybe he just cared more about being the leader than Aladar being leader. Or a combination of all of those.
Disney´s Dinosaur is one very amazing and trully unforgettable piece of cinematography art !!!! Also, most Dinosaurs (and even the Geostenbergia) were initially supposed to be more colorfull and even feathered, but maybe, it would cost too much for the studio at the time ... Speaking of Geostenbergia, his scene and everything about him is beyond wonder: The colors, design and the spectacular music !!!! I also love the Struthiomimus, Oviraptor and Velociraptors, especially the blueish alpha !!!!
ALATEORI YES , YES YEEES!!! Why people never talk about this movie is beyond me... i saw it in cinemas when i was like 6 and it made me a dino fan from that fay on . But then walking with dinosaurs made me a dino lover
2 things. 1: My favorite part of the movie was easily the carnotaurs. The cool thing about them, besides their absolutely badass design and sound effects, is how they don't talk. You can tell that, unlike the herd, these walking death machines exist purely on instinct and the urge to kill. It made them simple and menacing. 2. Schafrillas needs to watch this review. I'm still baffled as to why he doesn't like this movie.
Honestly I was a bit worried you were being sarcastic about liking this movie as there's so many people talking down on it here on UA-cam, it's really refreshing to see your overall positive thoughts and constructive criticism on this film!!
21:01 I call Bruton "Kron" twice. Sorry about that lol
It's ok, lol
Skill issue
I didn't notice lmfao
It deserved a SEQUEL. Easy in my tøp 5 Disney movies
I was going to say something, but it's okay 😊
Krone actually had deleted scenes that would've given him much more depth to his character. I believe in one of them he sacrificed himself to save his sister.
oh wow!!!! I could see him doing something like that
I've always loved this movie growing up! I think I might still have it on vhs somewhere. @Alteori Love your channel by the way!
The deleted Scene was the raptors attacking Neera and the baby's but Kron scars them off and says
"You don't know how lucky you are. Both of you get back to the herd!!!....forget our ways again and you are on your own" to his sister
@@emiliozamora507 that’s pretty much it, yup
Actually the deleted scene your talking about is the one where he fights off a small group of velociraptors from his sister.
"I still got it."
"I hope it`s not contagious."

This movie is criminally underrated. Loved it when it first came out in theatres
I swear. It's one of my favorite all time movies
Agreed I’m glad she covered this and the good DINOSAUR as so many UA-cam reviewers hated on these 2 films.
I never saw the theater realease but I was so obsessed with the movie as a kid. The models and animation of the dinosaurs was ahead of its time (in my opinion) and I was so upset to learn how underrated it was.
I wonder why the herbivores and fight back though, if it’s a large amount of herbivores they could probably all gang up on it but we don’t know their intelligence and they are probably all panicking so can’t expect a lot.
Ngl I never seen it but after watching some scenes, I've noticed that the characters go through the most cliche dialogue ever. And even though the animation looked good for it's time, looking back at it just makes me with Disney did better
interesting note is that those other female lemurs are paler, and lighter, than the original family tree where aladar grew up, meaning that likely, theyre a slightly different breed/specie, or just have lighter markings, and therefore, they find Zinnys markings and colors appealing, because he's lighter like they are. His albinism inadvertently made him more appealing to a lighter color type of lemur.
i noticed that too :D
@@Alteori didn't expect a reply! thank you! im glad im not the only one to notice that ;w;
Fun fact, when the had a paleontologist review dinosaur media and movies, this was his favorite
I would like expect as much. The designers were so devoted to accuracy that they even intended to give the raptors feathers originally. The only reason they’re bald in the final film is because feathers were still too difficult to animate satisfactorily at the time.
Its the sexual tension of the monkies is why prob

One of the most underrated dinosaur movies if not movies in general of all time. More emotion, action and heroics in this movie than most modern tv haha
-Jacob
Yeah I remember watching this as a child with my blue-ray and now I realize that is pretty underrated, and not as a noticed movie
When I saw the raptors man, I was like " OH SHIT! ALADAR YOU GOTTA MOVE!"
The whole reason Kron became such a hard-headed obstacle, was Pride. He's been leading this herd with the belief that only the strong will survive, so no concessions are needed for the weak. Understandable, as you say. However, he has a young upstart come in that is far more charismatic but has views that oppose his own. This is also coming off of hard times, where his (people) have come to depend on him. His way has to be right, otherwise he's been sacrificing those in his charge for nothing. And so, his Pride creates his downfall. That makes him a fairly tragic character in my opinion. Not a victim of ambition, but of the necessities of survival.
So he's gay?
@@deletoblue5397 Wrong kind of Pride, but I understand the confusion.
@@deletoblue5397 🤦♂️
That is very relatable... seeing humanized animal characters who express awareness of their own condition. Once, all of us were subservient to nature, yet even if we (the human species) have assumed greater mastery over the natural world, those harsh conditions still influence our worldview... our pride.
Kron often reminds me of the very people who takes great pride in a rigid body of norms that has enabled them to survive before the world became more interconnected. Because we live in an inequitable world, a lot of people are still bound by such norms, and those who look beyond the horizon are often met with harsh opposition, even to the point where such a community is no longer safe for them. On the same token, the world has become less safe for such community.
Being resolute in one's logic or conviction is a virtue in its own right; the problem is that conviction being the only thing the beholders' lives revolve around which could render them dismissive, sensitive to criticism, and unwilling to adapt when the rules have changed.
@@deletoblue5397 bro how did that even pop up in your mind bruh
I don't think kron towards the end becomes stupid, I think he just didn't want to admit that he's wrong and aladar is right, because then it would mean he's not a good leader and the herd wont listen to him anymore, in other words, he was too proud to admit he had gone the wrong way
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 Cera. I love how you tied that together. That was great.
Pride can be very deadly. As can stubborness/hard-headedness
@@Alteori thanks😁
Kinda like Sarah?
the movie had fantastic messages and morals
One of the original story concepts was a styacosaurus leading his herd and going up against the t-rex in the middle of the notorious meteor shower. Imagine how epic that fight would've been in the meteor scene.
Yes a lot those original ideas they had for the film sounded a lot more interesting than what we got.
And then a meteor fall on the dinosaurs and killed them all
That's why I love ceratopsians, and Styracosaurus is one of my 2 favorite ceratopsians and dinosaurs of all time
Makes sense ceratopsids ironicly were what rex evolved to huby their jaws bute force is made to bite through their head crest
Its actually just a styracosaurus and a lemur hunted by the t-rex, there was no herds
I don't think the meteor strike was as "localised" as it seemed. It wasn't an extinction level event, but it's strongly hinted that it was responsible for drying the water table and causing the drought, causing volcanic and tectonic activity that filled in that pass to the valley with rock-slides, and Bruton even says "the fireball must have driven them out" in reference to the Carnotaurs occurring far outside their natural range.
Oh that would make sense
I always interpreted that meteor as a first sign of the END. Like hey this is a demonstration of the inevitable but on a smaller scale. Idk if it makes sense but that's how I see it
@@oscarramirez2697 Oh definitely, I think it was also a bit of purposeful irony, as in, we, the audience, know that a meteor strike will end the age of the dinosaurs and usher in the age of mammals, and yet, this particular meteorite instead wiped out an island full of mammals, didn't even kill the one and only dinosaur in the area.
Wasn't that a Carnotaur in the Nesting Grounds when Aladar was an egg?
@@littlefoot5013 It could just be a plot hole, after all, it's never mentioned that there are other nesting sites, but the flat plains and dense thicket we see in the beginning doesn't look like the enclosed valley and lake of the nesting grounds, I think aladar is from an entirely different area, maybe even a different continent than the other dinosaurs, that egg travelled quite far to get to the lemur island, after all.
Aladar is honestly quite a cutie. And Plio is a good mom.
Also, actually yes: hatchlings/little ones would be the first targets. Little risk for the predator to get injured here and the gain would still be sufficient.
maybe for a smaller animal, but something as big as a carno would actually need something bigger to make up for the energy extended to chase the baby when it started running, plus if it has babies that tiny baby it chased would not be enough to feed them all
@@Sassafrass95 That's the point, the Carno would not have wasted it's time to chase the little one that long. Once in range, it just would have snatched it up with is jaws, swallowing it on the spot. From what I could tell, the little Para was a perfect size for the Carno's stomach. There was no actual need to try and pic a fight with something that could seriously injure it. Animals are clever enough for that type of thinking.
@@Myuutsuu85 Based on biomechanical studies, Carnotaurus was actually built for running and was among the fastest of all large theropods with an estimated top speed of around 35 mph. The chase at the beginning would be just a walk in the park for it.
@@ctshaffer1999 Because it was much smaller in reality.
I think aladar is a blad character and an uncanny nightmare
Fun fact: The actor who voiced Kron, the late Samuel E. Wright, was also the voice of Sebastian from The Little Mermaid, and he originated the role of Mufasa in the Lion King Broadway musical. Speaking of which, the voice of Zini, Max Casella, originated the role of Timon.
Fun fact: He also voiced Daxter from the Video Game “Jak & Daxter” too as well even in other Video Games Sequels of it. The man Max Casella truly is a Legend.
I love that they used real environments and animated the Dinosaurs into the scenery. Also the Carnotaurus is my number 1 Carnotaurus design ever. Really nice to have another dinosaur being a villain other than a Trex.
I agree
The only real complaint I have is that the Carnotaurus was way oversized
Still holding out hope that my boy Ceratosaurus breaks back into the limelight as the villainous Dinosaur it once was. ;)
@@DJ118USMC same here. I’m glad they brought it back in Camp Cretaceous, but a stand alone film with the Ceratosaurus as a villain or main character would be nice
@The Philosoraptor it was the original idea but they picked Carno cause the T. rex was overused and I thought that was a great choice to do. Cause I loved the carno and how demonic it looked
The horror aspect of this movie always kind of surprised me given its rating and Disney branding. In the scene where Bruton and the other Iguanodon get ambushed, you literally see the other guy getting eaten in the background while Bruton makes his escape. (This same iguanodon was very much alive and talking seconds ago). The dark scenes with the Carnotaurs are honestly terrifying as well, such as the scene where Aladar has a close brush with the survivor of the cave incident.
It really adds to the movie, and gives it that kind of gritty, impartial natural world vibe that I love to see. The movie usually doesn't seem soft or childish at all, which just makes it so much better.
Oooof yeah I actually remember being sad for Bruton's companion iguanodon. He literally get eaten on screen.
I miss the times where family movies weren't afraid of taking risks and delving into the darkness. Nowadays, everything has been all sugar coated KidzPop Illumination style Barney the Dinosaur kiddy fodder.
There’s a deleted scene where Nera tries to save the baby Dino’s from velociraptors and Krone is all “Nera, come back!” and even as badly rendered rough draft 3d sprites he looks terrified for her And they almost get her and the kids when Krone runs the predators off and says “Forget our ways again, and I might not be there to save you next time…” so you’re right he does care about her, all they have left family-wise is each other, but he acts tough so the herd will take him seriously.
The male lion was like " this is taking too long! I want the food now !"
a video praising one of my most favorite dinosaur movies that is also hated for the dumbest reasons?? Yes please!
I enjoyed your headcanons for some of the characters' backgrounds, 'cause I wish we could have learned more about them. You really fleshed them out. Also, HOW DID I JUST REALIZE ZINI IS ALBINO?? WHAT??? 22 YEARS I'VE WATCHED THIS FILM AND I ONLY JUST--
I'd like to add one tiny detail to make Kron's death ever more painful tho, and that is that he died thinking his baby sister hated him 😢
Aww. I think he realized that his sister loved him because he saw her trying to save his life one last time. It must have been scary because he couldn't protect her and he died not knowing what happened to her
@@Alteori I like to think that he saw the carnotaurus fall to its death and then died so he had some peace of mind
Wait, Disney Dinosaur is hated? But why? It is such an awesome movie, I thought it just never got popular.
@@akshaykumarjha9136 1.some say because the characters are "boring"
2. Another reason is the story is kinda cliche( btw the story is familiar but you can make it different to make it feel fresh and new)
Fun Fact: RoboCop director Paul Verhoeven was going to make this into a stop motion animation film with Oscar Winning VFX artist Phil Tippet in 1986. They even brought the idea to Disney where the story involved a Styracosaurus fighting off a Tyrannosaurus while trying to look for his family and the film would have ended with the meteor striking the Earth killing all the dinosaurs. Production was going to begin, but after the success of The Land Before Time and JURASSIC PARK, the project was shelved until it was picked up in 1998 by 2 time Oscar Winning VFX company Dream Quest Images working with Disney to form a company called The Secret Lab which was shut down in 2005.
For those who want a taste of what that version of Dinosaur would have been like, check out Tippett's short film "Prehistoric Beast" you can find it on his UA-cam channel. Personally I think we where robbed of the Dinosaur movie we really wanted to see, not that I don't mind what we got, but would have referred Phil's original vision.
Wow, that would’ve been depressing, he would’ve found his family before the meteor, right?
@@radiogobrrrrrrr1949 not sure, know a few people that where attached to the project originally, but I don't know if they where aware of the script at that stage in its preproduction.
I'm glad they added the Oviraptor, a really underrated maniraptoran in my opinion. I'm also glad they showed it trying to eat eggs, as even though there's no evidence that Oviraptor actually ate eggs (the fossil that earned it it's name was protecting it's own eggs, not stealing another dinosaur's), there's still a chance that eggs would be a golden opportunity, especially if the Oviraptor had growing babies.
In the original script of the film, there was going to be a pair of Oviraptors in the herd. They were going to have classy, aristocratic personalities that would contrast with their role in the herd as “undertakers” that fed on the dead.
@@ctshaffer1999 Yeah, that checks out
that would have been cool.@@ctshaffer1999
This movie is overhated imo. I absolutely love this movie both because of nostalgia since I watch this a ton when I was a little and also because I just don’t really understand why people hate it. The cg although being a bit outdated is still very good and really holds up. especially how they animated the weight of the dinosaurs. The only thing that looks really dated is the lemurs. The story is quite simple but I think that works in its favor. I also like how they make the iguanodons not fodder for the carnivores they can still beat the shit out of a Carnotaurus if they can. Speaking of the Carnotaurus, those things when I was little gave me nightmares and kind of still due to this day they were very terrifying though the one thing I wish they included is that the carnivores are able to speak or at least we can understand them Because I feel like they could have very interesting dialogue of what they’re saying like for example The scene after the one Carnotaurus Diaz and the other one escaped cave I can imagine the Carnotaurus shouting in pure fury maybe they had a sibling like relationship so he or she has a major grudge in Alador. but either way they’re still very cool Villains although the way they die is a bit cliché. speaking of clichés of course the love interest plot line personally I don’t really mind it since it’s actually kind of sweet instead of it feeling forced or cringe. also I appreciate they don’t make The herbivores as the sweet lovable peacful animals, instead they show how incredibly brutal selfish and animalistic they can be. I like how they leave stragglers behind selfishly poured water for themselves being incompetent when another member of the herd says they have a better solution, I think it’s really well done. Also the music in this movie is absolutely gorgeous hands-down one of the most beautiful soundtracks I’ve heard in my life. The only thing I really don’t like about it is that some of the models look a bit weird and you’re right the eyes just look off. Except the carnivores they have perfect designs. I think the reason why they gave them such weird eyes and human features because that would make us “relate”to them. instead he gave us a bit of “uncanny valley” effect and the other thing that I don’t like about this movie is the lemurs but I think that’s a pretty much popular opinion. I honestly hope more dinosaurs movies like these come out I understand we have the Jurassic Park movies but they can only do so much what they have. I want a animated dinosaur movie that really pushes the story elements of dinosaurs and gives us a magical world filled with prehistoric creatures and if you’re gonna have dialogue in it please make it good don’t make the same mistake as “walking with dinosaurs”.
@The Philosoraptor I would say a large majority of moviegoers do not like this movie and though that’s completely fine because it’s a subjective thing but I do feel like they overlook a lot of positive things about this movie.
I never heard a single person hate it
@@diooverheaven6561 there are many people who dislike or even hate it: the most common criticisms are "it's too similar to "Land Before Time" or "what a boring/bland movie!" Personally, I always liked both movies and I think "Dinosaurs" deserves some more recognition

@@diooverheaven6561 An absurd amount of people hate this movie. I waa surprised when I found out.
Agreed, an asshole and a villain are not the same thing.
I mean think about this, not everyone wants to be an asshole. For some they start off wanting to be seen as kind caring and sweet. Then suddenly someone comes along and calls them an asshole, and others start joining in and gaining up on them, and the way they see it they are right about that person because the majority says so, and therefore that makes them the one at fault.
So now that person is an asshole, and there is nothing they can do about it.
In terms of sound designs, I prefer the Carnotaurus sound from this movie over the 1 from Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. The 'Fallen Kingdom' Carnotaurus sound can be used in other Abelisaurids in future media
A lot of the carnivore sounds in Jurassic World are shrilly, annoying alien screams anyway so that's a plus for Disney's Dinosaur.
The Carnotaurus roar is still for me the default sound of that Dinosaur
Dinosaur's Carno roar is iconic
Agreed.
I'm pretty sure you didn't notice that one of the carnotaurs was smaller than the other hinting at a mating pair or even a parent and child and the younger one seems to be much less patient and got hit by Bruton onto the Rock pillar which gave him the idea to bury them and the larger one lives and looks back at the other carnotaur seeing it dead and scoffs further pushing the "every man for himself thing" besides grief he needs to survive after he heals he will continue following the heard its just a nice detail to look at
I always thought like maybe Mother and Son perhaps?
@@dustyrose192 could be either gender lol up to interpretation

I grew up with this gem of a movie, still not tired of it no matter the inaccuracies that still prevail. Watching non-humans in film was always of great interest to me, especially the animal kind.
I like to think of that big meteor(which the characters themselves refer to as "The Fireball") as a starting point or foreshadowing of this universe's extinction event. We already know it's caused some drastic environmental changes like the total destruction of the lemur island, the intense drought, the nesting grounds' entrance being blocked, the carnotauruses being driven from their usual hunting grounds, etc.
The idea of a slow-burning extinction event feels more believable to me than one meteor killing everything in one go anyway. Yes, the blast itself would kill thousands upon thousands of animals, but the lasting effects would seal the deal, however long they lasted. The nesting grounds just happened to be far enough from the blast to not be immediately affected, probably because of the surrounding mountains. I wouldn't be surprised if the fallout slowly started to spread there, though. Maybe not in the characters' lifetimes, but eventually.
This movie was also made just before they discovered that the KT Impact asteroid would've fried the Earth in the first 24 hours of impact and temporarily destroyed the ozone layer among other disasters. So, at the time this movie was made the belief was that the impact merely triggered severe global climate change which killed the dinosaurs.
I saw this when I was 4 and when the dinosaur got killed in the beginning my mother was like "Huh, you maybe too young for this." And then they started talking and it was like. "Oh this is fine."
Watching this triggered a memory. I had a toy Aladar that when you submerged him in water you could see his bones. He also had little holes in him that I guess was supposed to be from when the raptors bit him. I think the little raptors came with him as well. Kinda dark but love the attention to detail when thinking back.
Yes I remember that toy! Did you have the hand puppets ?
@@johnhardy2046 I don't think so. But I do remember having the viewmaster toy with reels of the movie.
I think its more correct to show youngsters that death exists. I don't like all of these others where the characters can survive stuff like they are invincible. It might be giving kids a false belief that life is always and death is never.
@@nardalis4832 like bambi....gosh it got me thinking about my mom's death for a good month or two at night
I guess Kron could be under the pressure of being leader and in his mind he NEEDS to be right, so therefore he is, otherwise he's led the herd into danger with no light at the end of the tunnel. He can't handle that stress.
To this day, the meteor scene is still the most intense Disney has ever gotten.
The score, sound design, special effects, voice acting; this entire sequence is TERRIFYING 😳😨
Krone's outlook reminds me of a quote from a book series by my favorite author: “Strength is the first virtue,” Alera said. “That is not a pleasant fact. Its distastefulness does not alter the truth that without strength to protect them, all other virtues are ephemeral, ultimately meaningless.” - Codex Alera by Jim Butcher
That's a really fitting quote for Kron, it's a shame that he isn't as well liked. He may have been pretty rough around the edges but he ultimately was a good leader and tried to do what was best for the survival of the herd.
@@someguy403he basically lacked balance
This is one of my favorite Disney and dinosaur movies and I like how they use a Carnotaurus as the main antagonist instead of using a T-Rex like many films did before. Don’t get me wrong I like the T-Rex but it’s been used several times as a villain.
That's exactly why they used the carnotaurus, to many people used the T-rex.
@@jaylenharris343 as well as hearing Samuel E. Wright’s voice in this threw me off a little bit because I was used to hearing him as a crab in a Jamaican accent.

It was supposed to be a T-Rex?
@@GunnarBarker yup, originally two but as the project evolved it was later decided tk make them Carnos so they didn't have to alter the model much
This movie, together with jurassic park, were what sparked my interest in dinosaurs. No matter how inaccurate the dinos here are this movie will always have a special place in my heart
1: If the Carnataurus did talk in the film, then give him/her an outlaw type of voice, like the rattlesnake cowboy from Rango.
2: People who have watched this movie have the same issue with the JP franchise, the whole inaccurate bull scat.
3: As much as I don't like Kron, the writers could of had him say his final words, like have him admit that he was a selfish coward.
Disney actually planned on having feathered raptors in this movie but apparently, they were too expensive and difficult to render at the time with CGI so that's part of the reason you have the standard Hollywood naked raptors in this film.
@@slipstreamxr3763 I don't have a problem with Disney's decision on not adding feathers on the raptors.
Alteori enjoying herself with a movie I cherish as a childhood favourite is the highlight of my day.
Interesting enough i research concept art for this movie and the animals were actually supposed to be WAY more colorful and feathered... but sadly, it didn't make the cut because the animation team couldn't figure out how to render the feathers to make look good enough and also if they were more colorful I guess It would raise the budget for the film
There's one animal I'm glad didn't make the cut: Nanshiungosaurus. I do like the concept art for most of the animals, but the scrapped Nanshiungosaurus design, err, let's just say that they made it a quadrupedal, anteater-looking bassturd and it was apparently insectivorous. Ok, I get that therizinosaurids weren't that well understood back in the day but, had they included Nanshiungosaurus in the movie, then people would believe that they were quadrupedal reptilian anteaters when we know that they were bipedal feathered herbivores, so that depiction would have become outdated very quickly. 😅
I heard somewhere that the raptors were going to have a sort of Native American vibe, with the feathers being reminiscent of feathered headdresses. Or maybe I’m misremembering.
@@ctshaffer1999 I dixn't known about this... but I do know that at one point the raptor pack wasn't even a raptor pack to begin with: there was only one Velociraptor, and the rest were one Avimimus and one Garudimimus
@@VictorHugo-bm4ui Weird choices
@@ctshaffer1999 check out dinosaurs vs aliens if you want to see dinosaurs in Native American feather garb
There’s actually a deleted scene where The two babies get attacked by velociraptors and Neera goes to save them and gets attacked her self but Kron saves her and the babies after saying “There are on their own you know that.“ So yeah you were right on the money
Thank you for reminding me why I loved this movie so much as a child. It was and will always be one of my favorite movies of all time. The musical score, the characters, the visuals... What a work!
I didn't know the two main lemers were father daughter, I thought they were an old married couple. With her being like a mother figure to everyone and giving the younger females advice on choosing a mate like how the dad was telling the younger males to do a back-flip then guess. The flower thing went over my head to but that one is supposed to go over kids heads like us when we watched it when it came out. I just completely didn't pay attention to the family structure of the main characters when their literally on Aladars back most of the time.
YES FINALLY SOME APPRECIATION FOR THIS MOVIE
YAYAYAYA!!
While there’s some questionable aspects about it (an ankylosaurus acting like a dog, just why?), Dinosaur has aged shockingly well, and I wish it got more love back in the day. Almost feels like this is how Land Before Time could’ve been had that series actually tried to progress instead of being stuck in limbo. I honestly wish a sequel had been made for it, even if it still works by itself. And while it still had some Tyrannosaurus aspects put into its design (like it’s size), I love how the filmmakers had the guts to go with another theropod like Carnotaurus. Heck, the choice in dinosaurs in general was refreshing. Also the asteroid that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs is estimated to have been roughly the size of Mount Everest.
I find it strange that Url acts like a dog, when earlier in the movie, in the egg travels scene, there's two Ankylosaurs of some kind and they act like, well, dinosaurs, not dogs. So my headcanon is that Url used to talk and act like a regular dinosaur and he's an old friend of Eema, but his old age made him go senile and he's suffering from what is basically dino Alzheimer's and lost the ability to speak, and poor Eema has to talk to him like he's a dog. I know, sounds dark and sad but I have no other explanation for why he acts like that.
@@cintronproductions9430 That’s about the only explanation I can think my myself. It’s really the one genuinely stupid part in what is otherwise a very solid movie.
@@cintronproductions9430 those were a different species, the ones seen in the egg travel were Talarurus
@@cintronproductions9430 Or maybe he just got clubbed in the head by another ankylosaur
@@cintronproductions9430 Yes, likely some sort of brain disorder or likely there
One thing that surprised me about the final battle was that after Aladar hits the Carnotaurus with the classic tail-whip, the Carnotaurus immediately retaliates with a tail-whip of his own. Usually, in movies and TV, the tail-whip is used by the herbivores, but this was the first and only time (that I can recall) where a carnivore uses that move.
I love this movie, it was actually the first dinosaur movie I ever saw as a kid, but whenever I talked about it at school, no one had ever heard of it and just thought it was a knock-off land before time movie. Glad to see this movie getting recognition and love.
8:57 that's a tricky question to ask. We have to consider two other things. Speed and what the rock was made out of. ( a rock that made out the toughest, durable material in the universe going to crash earth at half of speed of light. It doesn't matter if the size of it is as big as your first. That enough energy to make a second moon out of the earth. That's if we'll lucky. Worst case scenario it hit our core. Causing an apocalypse due to the destruction and reconstruction of the planet plates. Everyone on top of would need a miracle to just survive the first hour. Nvm trying to live the rest of their lives
Now consider this is only a local thing. (We don't know how far the blast have affected the area) and the fact it didn't got evaporated due the heat. I say the Asteroid was probably on the lower end of the average asteroid that hits earth. It's strong enough the make the start of the impact but just right after it will shatter into millions pieces. Actually the scene of them running away from it. Some of those rock that hit the island could have originally been apart of it.
Ah yes wonderful. Alteori isnt stressing over one movie instead, she is reviewing movies she enjoyed. What a nice change
Also why is the carnotaurus the size of a literal T-rex
Bigger actually. The larger one is said to be 50-60 feet long
@@paolopasaol9700 that cant be true
It was originally going to be T. rex, but it was changed to a Carnotaurus late in production to make things more interesting. Carnotaurus had only been discovered two decades earlier and was still relatively obscure at the time. This movie is part of what made it so popular today.
@@ctshaffer1999could have made it a ceratosourus or tarbosaurus
@@joshuaded1052 Ceratosaurus was even smaller than Carnotaurus
This is still the best Dinosaur movie ever made full stop, James Newton Howard's score here is indescribable!
Instead of the other stuff they're making, Disney should make a sequel
She HAS the review The Prince of Egypt😃
@@feistybearproductions6478
Disney has a terrible track record with sequels. So no.
Agree?
@@BigAl2-u7e Like what sequels? (Not going against you. I genuinely can't think of any😂. Unless you are including Pixar?)
It's so good to see more people acknowledging this movie lately.
It's one of my favorites, and definitely one of Disney's darkest movies.
It's not a musical with bright colors. It's gritty, real, intense. You have dinosaurs trying not to die everyday, and some DO die!
It's very real, I appreciate that
I loved the score of this film, and still listen to it often. THis film was the first film made by Disney Digital animation, and they were trying to do something different, that wasn't Pixar. Chicken Little followed, and soon Lassiter headed both studios. You could look at this as "The Prince of Egypt", for Disney Digital.
Bruh the meteor scene scared the shit outta me as a kid. I'd always skip it cause it captured the terror *too* well. 😂
I love Disney's Dinosaur (2000) from the Post Renaissance Era of Walt Disney Animation Studios.
It's one of my favorite underrated animated movie back in my childhood.
It's not that a boring movie, it's one of the good movies.
And the the soundtracks are the masterpiece.
I recall reading that they planned to have the camera pan out in the finale to show a larger meteor heading towards the earth, heavily hinting that the first was a small piece of a larger disaster... but they decided it was too dark. ^^'
@@general_enslaver_of_cactii867 oh wow, get everybody's hopes up like "Yay! They're going to live!" Camera pans out to bigger meoter heading their way, "They're gonna DIE!" Oh that would have killed me
I thought everyone forgot about this movie! I'm happy to see someone talk about/ watch it again
People hating on this movie is weird. It has perfect material for a cartoony dinosaur movie.
I guess because they were talking and a carnotaurus became suddenly a t-rex? I guess it’s because iguanodons didn’t coexist with brachiosaurus (jurassic sauropod) or tarchia, neither velociraptors and carnotaurs.
But, it’s a fiction, so yea some people just go total mad on this when like Beauty and the Beast has literal talking objects.
The movie is great, but could’ve had a wider story without having lots of scenes deleted. The soundtrack was...beautiful. Neera too. The designs for Bruton and Kron were pretty much inspired from a hadrosaur (probably mutta because of the crest). The weirdest twist that got me tho:
Lemurs coexisting with dinosaurs?!
I heard they initially had the idea of giving the Carnatour a voice... but it was so creepy that they decided on the roaring.
This movie actually introduced me to the carnotaurus. I remember when I was a kid I thought it looked super cool and scary. The carnotaurus are really the main part I remember of the film to be honest.
My 11 year old ass was a massive dinosaurs nerd and I loved their inclusion because they were a really underrated and underappreciated species
YES! thank you Alteori for reviewing this underrated dinosaur film :)
I also had an animation instructor who worked at Disney's Secret Lab who worked on this project she was telling her story how they had to write special Renderman shaders for the eyes.
I remember watching this in the movies on school tour. I was so attached to the movie that I said to my friend "I wanna marry a dinosaur", he bursted out laughing and told the whole group which my crush heard and she gave me a disgusted look 😂 aah.. memories..
This was one of the next movies I was hoping you would review. Good stuff. The score for this film is an absolute masterpiece. Kinda funny how no one can actually explain the ankylosaur that acts like a dog. I'm surprised we didn't get to hear you react to Zinni's "The Love Monkey" moment.
Pet play?
I like to imagine Url (yes, that is how it’s officially spelled for some reason) acts like a dog because he has brain damage from being clubbed in the head by another ankylosaur
I loved this film as a kid!
Only thing I would change? Maby not have the characters talk & behave more like real animals to use the principle of “show don’t tell”. I think it would have made this film even better,
But for what we got, It’s still really great!
Mmmmm! I like that, sort of like Spirit stallion of the cimarron or primal
the actual meteor was so large as it hit most of the meteor was still poking out of the atmosphere. The astroid there was i’m guessing looks to be about 1-2 km in diameter and the chicxulub impactor (the one that caused the extinction) was 10-12km in diameter maybe ever larger. But it was big enough to cause some of the largest earthquakes that have ever occurred on earth and tsunamis kilometres high. Ash from the astroid and earth surrounded the globe completely blocking sunlight and heating the atmosphere to oven like temperatures basically cooking every living thing alive.
Last day of dinosaurs documentary.
I’m so glad more people are talking/reviewing my favorite film of all time.
After all these years later I’m still so happy that Disney didn’t put a T-Rex as the villain but they put a dinosaur that wasn’t really well known at the time as the villain of the movie.
You're not the only one who loved Disney's Dinosaur. I loved that movie ever since I was only 4 years old. And now almost 21 years later, I still love it
Nice to know others liked this movie. I still have my tape of this somewhere.
This movie brought me joy as a kid, even today I still enjoyed it.
Same
Same here
When this movie came out, my dad took me & my brother to a Drive-In theater to see it :) Needless to say THAT memory will forever stick to my mind
This is and has always been my favourite Disney movie of all time, i remember going into the Cinema at the age of 6 and being in complete awe,
I had literally every toy, i even remember getting the game on Dreamcast lol,
If there's any disney movie that needs a sequel it's this,
Just imagine how amazing that'd be,
Disney pleaseeee (I'm sad because they won't, for some reason despite how amazing and groundbreaking the animation format was, it still holds up, it was just forgotten and it's such a shame)
I've been watching Dinosaur since 2006
Love it so much to this day!
A the end when all the dinos are roaring, and the parasaur roars... That sound effect was so cool and it was the reason paras became my favorite herbivore
I LØVE Dinosaur!
I watched this on vhs when I was a kid
Ah the joys of growing up in the early 2000s
After jurassic park I was obsessed with dinosaurs and monsters 🦖
This movie would be an 11/10 if Godzilla was in it
lol
This along with Flubber, The Lion King, Mighty Jo Young, and the Jurassic Park movies were the things I rewatched constantly from a giant bin of VHS tapes as a kid.
2 things of note:
-Since you're on DeviantArt, I recommend checking out IsisMasshiro's "Disney Dinosaur" parody. The Bruton parts are my favorites :)
-I'm glad you pointed out the Carnotaurus killing those almost-ready-to-hatch baby Iguanodon & also mentioned Tarzan (which begins w/a leopard killing a cute little baby gorilla). I've been thinking about both movies recently in reference to how disappointing Dominion is: 1 of the best/darkest parts of the JP novels is when the compys eat the baby, yet no kids have ever been eaten in the movies; Dominion had the perfect opportunity to change that w/dinos & pteros re-taking over the world (& thus, conflicting w/humans much more than in the other movies) & wasted it; If Disney can kill off cute little baby characters multiple times, why can't the JP/JW franchise do so even once despite having MUCH more reason to?
I know I am a year late, but after 16 yrs of not seeing this film, it has left a long standing memory. It is so familiar and relatable (in a character perspective)
The Egg Travels Scene will forever be one of the scenes I will remember forever from any movie until I die.
It is that ingrained in my memory. The score helped a lot too.
One of my favorite childhood movies. I remember how I was desperate as kid to see it over again and again.
For me personally, it had only one issue: For some stupid reason I mixed up "Aladar" with "Eragon" which we also had in our DVD collection. My poor parent were "What the fuck are you asking for?" when they played their son a movie with guy and his blue feathered talking dragoness, as he asked for, but he says that there should be talking dinosaurs with lemurs (^^)"
Eragon the movie is a disgrace to the book series.
@@gingerizard3262 i know. Amd for this reason I'm glad that I saw the movie first and then listened the whole book series as audiobooks
I cannot tell you how much this movie shaped my love for Dinosaurs and how much I still love this movie to this DAY.
Kron is voiced by Samuel E. Wright, who also voiced Sebastian. Though he sounds like Tony Todd.
This movie was one of my all time favorites! Honestly the fact that this doesn’t have much credit to how much technological features it has is amazing!
This film is one of my ultimate childhood gems. I’ve watched it a jillion times and never once grew bored of it. 🥰
The flying lizard in the beginning is called a longsquama they are insectovores native to the rainforests of the triassic.
I forgot about this movie. Minor nostalgia over here-
I remembered it as being very enjoyable, and I watched it multiple times when I was younger.
Max Casella, the voice of Zini, was also the voice of Daxter from the Jak & Daxter franchise. If you want some decent (and more adult from the second game onwards) comedy, I'd recommend at least watching playthroughs and\or cutscenes. Also, Eema was played by the late Della Reese, who was always a delight to watch, and to hear sing🙏💖!
So true. I just found out about both Max Casella Voice Actor of Zini who voiced Daxter from Jak & Daxter & Della Resse Voice Actor of Eema who voiced her since either last year in 2022 or 2 years ago in 2021. If I had not never watched this Movie back then as a Kid, I probably would have never knew who Max Casella is like I do now since I now realize he is a Real Living Legend of my Childhood. I honestly don’t remember how I first heard about him from a year or 2 but I’m just glad I did because it’s so interesting to learn new things you never knew about. Fun Fact though, Della Resse was in a Movie with Eddie Murphy called “Harlem Nights” from back in 1989 & she was also in a Movie with Martin Lawrence who played to be his Mom called “A Thin Line Between Love & Hate” from back in 1996 which is the same exact year I was born in. Della Resse was definitely a Real Life Living Legend I do sometimes wish I got to meet her if I had knew who she was before she sadly passed away from almost 6 years ago later on November 19th, 2017. May Della Reese’s soul rest heavenly in peace that I will never forget about her who was a good & great person that’s forever missed till this very day.
This movie come out in 2000 to kids its a Disney movie not a national Geographic doc, the CGi in that movie still amazes me today, it was incredible when i saw it on cinema, that movie is one of the main reasons why i love dinossaurs, i was a kid when it come out and that was amazing, the carnos were terrifing
This is the film that made me fall in love with dinosaurs❤
God, where to start with this movie?
The music, the emotional expressions, and the behaviours of the dinosaurs were everything to me as a child.
- The Opening hunt scene: Watching the mother try and protect her eggs from the stampeding dinosaurs was so heartbreaking because she wanted to stay for as long as she could but the Carnotaur hadn't caught anything so she had to abandon them. Imaging putting all the effort into gestating the eggs, laying them in the nest you built, and then in literal minutes the entire clutch gets wiped out (because her last remaining egg gets stolen).
- The Meteorite Scene: Not only the most memorable part from the movie but the most well done meteor impact scene i have ever seen. Sure you have the extinction events at the end of documentaries but there is something about being introduced to the characters personally, being in their position, and then feeling what it would have felt like from their point of view. All the other movies with similar scenes just have the camera positioned like third person as if we were watching instead of experiencing. And god the music when it was falling and everyone was just staring..... uuuhhhhg!
- Then the end where they make it to shore, for some reason the way the stones and the water look as his foot pushes through them just looks so cool. But that might be my nerdiness peaking through.
- Raptor Scene: I enjoyed this because i could imagine the hide on Aladar watching how the raptor's teeth pierced but not completely, and the claws in him as he ran but didn't seem to hurt too much. So his hide must be like chunk of wood that has been drenched for a little few days; solid but has some give when you stick your nail in it (i don't know, i'm weird for doing this as a kid i guess).
- Kron: I feel like if his sister did start to fall behind or collapses and couldn't continue he would wait with her for a little bit and try to motivate her to get up but..... i feel like Kron is the type to realize that she isn't going to make it and he needs to push the herd onward to the nesting grounds. He is a hard ass, and does care about his sister, but he is not hypocritical and would leave her if he had to (or if he couldn't save her). Kron drinking first kind of makes sense because he is the leader and needs to be at his best to make the right decisions. Kind of like the insanity that is star trek where they kept letting the captain go off world on dangerous missions; loved the show but man was that unrealistic.
- The fight between Kron and Aladar is bad ass but i don't think Kron is being unreasonable considering Aladar has challenged his leadership basically at every turn. Kron is just trying to hold on to his roll and not give it up to some random guy who hasn't lived through the experiences; Kron is still trying to protect the herd. If Kron was just antagonistic for the sake of it he wouldn't bother warning Aladar or even giving him chances after he over steps... he was actually being pretty reasonable for an animal in a dire situation.
- And then my second favourite part of the movie and most favourite part in stories. When Aladar just stands his ground with the charging Carnotaur and starts calling him out. The Carnotaur is like "waaaa?". Always love that because for predators, they know what they usually hunt, the size and look of their prey but when they encounter something that looks like prey but acts like they don't care about shit the predator gets worried. It's probably a survival instinct that has been continued throughout different species. Like if an animal has rabies generally things stay away from it because the behaviour is strange and if you take that risk you may not pass on your genes. Just like cats chasing down fully grown bears, the cats are not acting normal and the bear (even though it can easily kill it) is thinking "okay, you should be afraid of me but you are not, in fact you are actively challenging me so something must be wrong with you and i'm not dealing with this today". In the animal world actually size and strength is important but usually attitude can get you pretty far too. So challenging something you have no business taking on is a red flag for them. "Bitch you stepping towards me? well you must be stronger then i think or something wrong with you. Either way i will not waste calories and my health on you, goodbye".
- The ending just gave me all kinds of respect for Kron because he was trapped, tired, stressed for days with the responsibility of the herd, and had this random guy steeling his herd, his sister and then having her turn on him. Yet, with all that he still saw the hopeless situation being trapped on the edge of the cliff and was like "fuck", turned and faced the Carnotaur like "you chased me and my herd across the desert and you think i'm just going to lay down and take this. You are gonna work for your meal". I have mad respect for anyone who knows its a lost cause but still fights because they are not going down like a damp rag, they are taking you with them to hell.
What about how Kron hurt Aladar during the fight ?
@@aladar488 What about it? I'm not sure what you are getting at.
@@ktmal1681 About the scratch Kron cut across Aladar’s chest how can explain it?
@@aladar488 "How can i explain it?". What is there to explain? My comment only talked about how Krons reactions made sense considering how Aladar was acting. Still don't understand what the issue is with the scratch, sorry.
3:17 I agree. I can understand why they did this since it was the popular opinion at the time. Still it would have been nice to see color on these dinosaurs. Imagine they creators get inspired by the birds of paradise.
a thing im still trying to figure out to this day, is that when Aladar and the others first spot the raptor, as it goes over the hill you clearly hear someone laughing in the distance, like a heheheh kinda laugh. Was it the raptor?
That's kinda creepy dude
I heard it too I wonder what that was lol
It obvious those laughs come from the lemur brothers
I truly enjoyed this film. The story is good, and the animators did a great job.
"Realistic backdrop"
JP"am I a joke to you!"
The recent CinemaSins video for it was pretty much insufferable.
Yours is a breath of fresh air.
Ooooooo They put out a video of that!
Insufferable? Always has been.
CinemaSins can go to Hell.
“All the babies look like the letter C” had me cracking up. Also, gosh, I vaguely remember this movie, but in that fever dream kind of way. I couldn’t be sure it was real until finding this review.
Me and my cousins loved and still love this movie it was our childhood with land before time good old days.
I still remember the day my parents took me and my sister to see this at the movies. That was the first time I've been to the cinema. They even bought the Aladar, Neera and Eema toys. We didn't get the Baylene toy, though.
I remember watching this movie everytime as a kid, to this Day is one of the BEST movies ever made and one of my favorites
I always thought that Kron got a bit too drunk on his power or was a little messed up mentally. Or maybe he just cared more about being the leader than Aladar being leader. Or a combination of all of those.
Disney´s Dinosaur is one very amazing and trully unforgettable piece of cinematography art !!!!
Also, most Dinosaurs (and even the Geostenbergia) were initially supposed to be more colorfull and even feathered, but maybe, it would cost too much for the studio at the time ...
Speaking of Geostenbergia, his scene and everything about him is beyond wonder: The colors, design and the spectacular music !!!!
I also love the Struthiomimus, Oviraptor and Velociraptors, especially the blueish alpha !!!!
ALATEORI YES , YES YEEES!!!
Why people never talk about this movie is beyond me... i saw it in cinemas when i was like 6 and it made me a dino fan from that fay on . But then walking with dinosaurs made me a dino lover
2 things.
1: My favorite part of the movie was easily the carnotaurs. The cool thing about them, besides their absolutely badass design and sound effects, is how they don't talk. You can tell that, unlike the herd, these walking death machines exist purely on instinct and the urge to kill. It made them simple and menacing.
2. Schafrillas needs to watch this review. I'm still baffled as to why he doesn't like this movie.
I remember watching this movie over and over again when i was a kid, and maybe ill look at it again. Time flies by so fast
Honestly I was a bit worried you were being sarcastic about liking this movie as there's so many people talking down on it here on UA-cam, it's really refreshing to see your overall positive thoughts and constructive criticism on this film!!
This movie was a big part of my childhood. Wish it got more recognition.
This is Disney's most underrated film
“Atlantis: The Lost Empire” Is Also One Of The Most Underrated Disney Film Movies In History
I was nearly a baby when I saw this movie for first time, this brings me fun memories 🥰
