Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Good movie but grossly overrated
Senteur
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This movie is probably the most underrated movie of Disney.Seriously, t's made in 2000 and animated and it looks incredible. Not to mention the breathtaking music, original story and epic landscapes. Back in those times when Disney movies actually could be scary. This is a must watch and an epic movie.

Dinosaur (2000): Dir: Eric Leighton, Ralph Zondag / Voices: D.B. Sweeney, Julianna Margulies, Ossie Davis, Joan Plowright, Alfre Woodard: Family film that operates like a computer generated Land Before Time. It regards time gone by and introduces Aladar who was raised by monkey-like creatures after his egg went through a difficult moving process. After a fireball destroys the island Aladar and his primate friends depart and seek life elsewhere. They join a herd that ventures for a nesting ground but first must cross a desert. Yar leads the herd with the attitude that only the strong will prevail. Aladar resists this rule and assists a brontosaurus named Mera and a triceratops named Emar who are old and weak. Clichés abound with violence inappropriate for the intended age group. Overwhelming with convincing full scale dinosaurs reduced to stereotypes voiced by D.B. Sweeney, Julianna Margulies, Ossie Davis, and Joan Plowright. Alfre Woodard voices Plio who cares about her family and is basically as dull as every other character in this film. Directed by Eric Leighton and Ralph Zondag who makes a great effort to bring these creatures to life but the screenplay is quite simply boring at best. The digital images are lively creating the reality of such creature but unfortunate the screenplay never becomes as overwhelming and awesome as the creatures that inspired it. Score: 4 / 10

Another movie I watched (many times) while my 3 year old nephew was visiting. He loved this, but what boy doesn't love dinosaurs? I liked it too. The story was very similar to 'Ice Age' but I'm told this actually came out first? It's an adventure (of course) about an orphaned dinosaur who gets raised by lemurs and then when a (scary) meteor shower strikes earth, leaves his home and treks to the nesting grounds far away.The computer animation was really pretty amazing here, stunningly beautiful but also interesting as its been blended with real scenery (water, trees, landscape etc.) Lots of familiar voice-overs including Julianna Margulies, Hayden Panettiere, Alfre Woodard. 07.11

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.
