YesAsia Editorial Description

With DINOSAUR, Disney breaks a new stride in the technological revolution of computer animation: combining computer-animated characters with digitally enhanced live-action landscapes. The effect is literally unbelievable and the clarity, realness, and definition of the pictures easily make the once surprising effects of virtual reality seem like the dark ages. A dinosaur egg is stolen from its nest and passed along by various birds, animals and other predators each hoping to eat it. Fumbled into a community of kind and nurturing lemurs, it cracks open and Aladar, a baby dinosaur emerges. He lives happily and peacefully among the lemurs, who raise him into adolescence. However, when a natural disaster occurs, wiping out the beautiful rainforest that was their home, teenage Aladar joins a dinosaur pilgrimmage--and discovers his true ancestry--in order to bring his lemur family to safety. Far sweeter and much more realistic than recent dinosaur movies like JURASSIC PARK or even classics like THE LAND BEFORE TIME, these new digital dinosaurs are surprisingly human with emotional eyes and expressive voices that make the magic nearly tangible.

"...[The movie] begins with a breathtaking sequence, a visual and sonic extravaganza..." - A. O., Scott (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 5/26/2000

"...[The movie] takes animation to the next level, an evolutionary progression of genre-shattering proportions..." - Susan, Wloszczyna (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 6/02/2000

"...[A] striking blend of computer-generated dinos and live-action backgrounds..." - Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 6/08/2000

"...Effective and frequently spectacular....A skillful blend of old-fashioned Disney storytelling and newfangled computer animation..." - Wade, Major (Box Office Critic), Box Office, 07/01/2000

"...A technical amazement that points computer-generated animation toward the brightest of futures..." - Kenneth, Turan (Los Angeles Times Critic), Los Angeles Times, 05/19/2000

"...The movie is startling in its impact....The visual look of DINOSAUR is a glimpse of wonders to come. The movie sends the message that computer animation is now sophisticated enough to mimic life itself in full motion..." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 05/19/2000

This customer review refers to DINOSAUR (Japan Version)
Out dated. Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
The trouble with early computer animation is as the years goes by it will look so out dated. This applies to this work. I have all Disney long featured cartoons but this one because I find it exciting to watch on the first run but I lost interest for the second time round because animation has advanced so much since then that the dinosaurs look a bit fake.
