VHS Movie Reviews of Dinosaur (Walt Disney Pictures Presents) [VHS]
Movie Review: Flawless Animation
Summary: 5 Stars
Disney's movie, Dinosaur, combines real, exotic places with 300 million dollar animation in a seamless, truly beautiful film. It is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and mixed with a soaring musical score, Dinosaur is a delight to the eyes and ears.
The story centers around Alladar, whose stolen egg ends up on an island through a series of breathtaking, rapid events. When he hatches, he is adopted by a family of lemurs (monkeys). The next time you meet him, he and his lemur "brother" have matured. That is when the island and much of the mainland are destroyed by a massive fireball from a fallen meteor. Only Alladar and his lemur family escape to the mainland where they find a devastated, hostile kind of world.
The story is a departure from normal Disney sing-song cartoons. The content is more serious and graphic, without gore. It is more earnest and realistic, but has some great humor. And the facial expressions of the characters are absolutely incredible. So lifelike! It is a journey of the heart.
The thing I appreciate most about the story is the compassion that Alladar and his family show to the mainland dinosaurs. They express the love and loyalty of family, while most of the mainlanders are fractured and wandering and care only for themselves. In the end, the vast and varied "herd" have a life and death choice between a leader who rules by strength and brutality, and a leader who has earned the right because he cares about them.
I recommend this film for all people 8 years old and up. Parents, little ones might be frightened by some of the more intense scenes, as there are deaths, so it would be wise to sit with them, or use discretion if they have tender sensibilities.
Turn your traditional Disney expectations off when you turn on Dinosaur, and enjoy it for what it is.

Summary: 4 Stars
I got this movie from Netflix to watch with my 4 1/2 year old grandson. At first he seemed terrified and I wondered if I made a mistake. As the movie moved along, he really got into it and when it was over, he asked me if I could get the movie for him. So I would say it was a success.Movie Review: Sub-par, badly-aging Disney outing
Summary: 2 Stars
"Dinosaur" has long been forgotten by most people, for good reason. This movie may have been cutting-edge technically 10 years ago, but the CGI work just doesn't hold up technically by today's standards. Still, that doesn't matter a whole lot; kids aren't picky about that stuff. But the technical aspects aren't the major problems with the movie. "Dinosaur" simply fails to engage adults or children (in our case, our 2 year old) at all. After an asteroid strikes the ocean a few miles from our heroes, who manage to not die, they walk around a while until they find a herd of migrating dinosaurs a few miles away from them. The asteroid is never mentioned again and has no bearing on the rest of the movie at all. The dinosaurs walk around a while, engage in predictable and cliched plot points and dialogue, and then it's over. Finally. This movie was a big waste of time for our family. If your kid is really into dinosaurs, he or she may like this, and it would be worth a rental for you. However, it lacks the writing, cleverness and fun that distinguish the top tier Disney movies.Movie Review: bburgal

My child loves it. I bet he has watched it 100 times already. He is 5 yrs. old.
Summary of Dinosaur (Walt Disney Pictures Presents) [VHS]
Join the action-packed adventure of a group of dinosaurs overcoming enormous challenges through courage, loyalty, and hope in Disney's DINOSAUR, a special effects phenomenon! Set 65 million years ago, DINOSAUR tells the compelling story of an iguanodon named Aladar, who is separated from his own kind and raised by a clan of lemurs, including the wisecracking Zini and the compassionate Plio. When a devastating meteor shower plunges their world into chaos, Aladar and his family follow a herd of dinosaurs heading for the safety of the "nesting grounds." Along the way, Aladar befriends Baylene, the dignified, elderly brachiosaur with a take-no-prisoners attitude; Eema, the unstoppable styrachosaur; and Neera, a feisty fellow iguanodon. Together, they must stand strong amid food and water shortages, the threat of attacks by carnotaurs, and Aladar's run-ins with the herd's stubborn leader, Kron. As the trip becomes one pulse-quickening adventure after another, it also forges friendships that no hardship can destroy. A landmark in filmmaking technology, Disney's DINOSAUR is a breathtaking spectacle filled with adventure, fun, and life lessons that the whole family will love!Dinosaurs come alive like never before in this costly computer-animated film from Disney. After a breathtaking opening (a dino egg is kidnapped), the film changes style; realistic dinosaurs are given human characteristics and voices. The kidnapped egg grows into an iguanodon named Aladar (voiced by D.B. Sweeney), who is raised by lemurs (shades of Tarzan) on a lush island void of other dinosaurs. When a meteorite destroys their island home in a thrilling sequence, the lemur family and Aladar become part of a dinosaur troop roaming the mainland deserts looking for the lush nesting grounds (shades of the fourth installment of the Land Before Time series and Fantasia). Disney's usual mix of modern language (one lemur calls himself "a love monkey") is present, as is its typical capital punishment law: anyone against our forward-thinking hero (or even disagreeing with him) ends up dead. Curiously, the meanies, a pair of carnotaurs following the group, are nameless and voiceless. This more realistic approach might have been a bigger wow, as in the BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs, which looked extraordinary with only a fraction of the budget. The complexity and scope of Dinosaur's visual scale is impressive, and group shots and a point-of-view angle are stunning. Rated PG for general intensity, the film should be a favorite for the 6- to 11-year-old set. --Doug Thomas
