SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

matheusdrl IMDb's suggestions brought me back to my life in the early 2000's. The plot, the effects of this movie... I used to watch it almost everyday. I hope someday my kids are able to watch this. This movie kinda changed my life. It improved, side by side to Jurassic franchise, my reading skills as a kid, because I wanted to know more, and more and more about dinosaurs, and consequently, nowadays, I read for living. I'm feeling nostalgic to remember the right amount of violent, romantic, friendly moments of this movie. I can totally suggest this animation to parents. To let their kids watch this. When Disney makes a good animation, it is unforgettable. The Aladar's journey is inspiring, bringing a message of hope and bravery. To see the beauty in the most difficult times.

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.
