DVD Reviews of Dinosaur
DVD Review: It's Just "Okay"
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for a friend's little boy as a Christmas present because he loves dinosaurs. I thought the animation was well done. There's a good, subtle, morality theme going on about acceptance and kindness that I'm sure kids will pick up on. I don't feel it was necessary to have a triceratops talking jive...and switching back and forth between male and female genders in speech. But I doubt a 5 year old will mind. Overall I give this a "B" for kids entertainment.
DVD Review: Everyone matters
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie, and I'm over 60! My four-year-old granddaughter watches it about once a week. What draws young and old? A finely drawn portrait of what makes a family, and what decisions a real hero makes - no matter his age or size. The characters are visually and emotionally engaging - we disliked the bullies, cheered for the little monkeys and baby dinos, and ached for the wise and witty 'aged' dinosaurs. The very concept of leaving loved, elderly leaders behind reminds me of my own inabilility to keep up with the fast-paced life my sons and their loved ones lead. But Aladar, his adopted lemur family and the lovely Neera stay back to encourage and protect their elders, Balene and Eema. Gosh, I hope someone does that for me. Beautiful to the eyes, and warming to the heart. Why didn't we have these when I was growing up? DVD Review: Great Service
Summary: 5 Stars
The service was amazing. I ordered the movie on a Monday night and the delivery date was set about 8 to 10 days out. My order was confirmed the following day and shipping took place the same day. Three days from my date of order, I received the movie, much to my grandsons' delight. They love the movie and I was ecstatic with the communication and speed of the entire process.DVD Review: Another Milestone In Animation
Summary: 4 Stars
This was yet another example, when it came out in 2000, of the latest strides being made in animation, computer-or-otherwise. At the time, I thought to myself, "Man, this just gets better and better all the time." Nine years later, I am still saying that but with newer animated efforts. They've become awesome, especially on Blu-Ray.
Some of the scenes in here look so real you wouldn't know they were drawings. The colors are particularly good in the opening minutes. They are just stunning at times. I hope it gets the Blu-Ray treatment some day.
The story is pretty interesting, too. It's not great, but not boring, either, and not too kid-oriented. Adults can enjoy this. In fact, I was surprised at the amount of violence. That, and some of the jokes actually make this more for adults than kids in many spots.
DVD Review: Good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
THis was a gift for my 2 sons ages 8 & 6. They seem to enjoy watching it.
Description of Dinosaur
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
