Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

OllieSuave-007 Disney's 39th full-length animated feature film and almost follows the same plot device as The Land Before Time, where the dinosaurs journey through the desert in search of the green and luscious nesting ground following a meteor attack.I believe this is the first Disney full-length animated feature to have CGI effects. Though I am partial to the much vibrant and much more colorful hand-drawn animation, the visual effects here are very realistic and detailing compiled, making it look like it is a live-action film versus an animated one. The story starts off quite intense with an attack of a carnivorous dinosaur on a herd of peaceful plant-eaters. But, the plot then becomes quite slow with the uninteresting subplot about the lemurs raising an orphaned Iguanodon named Alidar, and them playing matchmakers to the younger lemurs. Once the animals start to talk the plot is bogged down by the modern-sounding dialog, which is very distracting since the story takes place in the prehistoric period.The journeying-to-the-nesting-grounds-while-avoiding-carnivores plot is the main plot of the film and is at times thrilling and exhilarating, producing some intense scenes and heartfelt moments, particular where Alidar stays behind the traveling herd to help older dinosaurs Baylene and Eema and where the stern-hearted Bruton fights the Carnotaurus to protect Alidar and company. However, the film has a rather routine story due to predictable moments and very few emphasis on other dinosaurs.Overall, it's an average Disney film with some exciting moments. It can be appealing to children, though.Grade C+

just a person This movie has stuck with me for years. I was hooked when I was 3, and I still adore it! I was relieved to see a Disney film where there isn't somebody bursting into song throughout the film. This is a bittersweet movie, and has everything. Happy, sad, regretful, adventurous, romantic, tense, and humorous moments. The animation is wonderful, the dinosaurs blending in beautifully with the environment. The characters each have their unique personalities, some evil, others good. The plot is amazing, and you are truly captivated by what the characters are going through. I still have my moments when I'm sitting on the edge of my seat for what is about to happen, and I have seen the movie countless times. I do not think this is for a younger audience, though. Even I am shocked by some of the violence and such in the film, but is necessary and only helps with the entertainment. I only wish it was longer! 9/10. You will not regret watching it.

Dean Richard Collins When this started to hit the big screen, people made a real big deal about it, I thought it was rather good, but I was kind of young so the story did not really make sense to me.The story is about a Dinosaur (Aladar) who is raised up by some prehistoric monkeys, the island they live on has no carnivores, but is soon destroyed by a fleet of meteors, the dinosaur and his family escape to another region of land where they meet a herd of dinosaur that are not as friendly as the peaceful monkey isle, that where a new adventure begins. Aladar must persevere against the slap of reality that the outer realms of his former sanctuary are all too real.The graphics left me in awe, it was very realistic! The story though, it's kind of cheesy, I mean people must of really loved all points of the story, romance, epic violence, sappy emotional scenes (no offense), the scene in the cave was rather cool, I've got to admit. But the artists of the film made the "good guy" characters look to humanoid, especially Aladar's species (Igaunodon), he almost looked like he had a human face. Ema, the Triceratops, was rather realistic though, but her pet thing was sorta like a dog. The Carnotaur was a notable entity in this flick, it was extremely savage and forbidding, it was creepy how mentally haunted it was just to get food, creepier yet living food that you found charming.Buts its a film you'll want to see once every few years.

Atreyu_II The 39th animated Disney "classic", while not a bad movie, in reality it also is nothing special. As a possible 1st attempt of Disney to make a movie only about dinosaurs, it leaves to be desired.It also has a lot to do with the time it was made. It is already from the CGI era instead of Disney's "Golden Ages". As such, it can't be compared to the Disney classics from the good old days.Many people seem to compare this to 'The Land Before Time'. I can see where that comparison comes from. While not a "copy" of 'The Land Before Time', it certainly has its resemblances - not just because it has dinosaurs, but also some of the plot. Anyway, this (by no means) doesn't have the magic of 'The Land Before Time', which is a masterpiece, one of the most charming animated films and one of the greatest films in general. There will never another one like that.I liked some of the lemurs and Aladar (the dinosaur) was the best character of the whole movie. But I didn't like Kron and his attitude. The other characters were not very interesting either.The velociraptors made me think of 'Jurassic Park', but they just don't fit in this film, unlike in the great 'Jurassic Park'.This film is a combination of live-action backgrounds with computer animation, which results in some great images. In some cases, they seem so real that you'd have a hard time of thinking of them as CGI stuff.
