Pros: Animation is superlative Cons: Even at about 80 minutes, the film drags
Throughout the sound era, Walt Disney Studios has been at the forefront of animation and special effects. "Fantasia," "Mary Poppins," and the "Toy Story" movies show just how diverse and successful their efforts have been....
Pros: Terrific animation and effects Cons: Unengaging, uninteresting, cliched, boring, stupid, lackluster film
A tired, boring film, Disney's latest offering makes tremendous strides in the field of animation, but sacrifices entertainment value and audience interest in the process. The story and dialogue are obviously aimed at children, but it panders so...
Pros: Safe dinosaur movie for elementary and preschool children Cons: Comparing Dinosaur to Jurrasic films will possibly cause dislike for Dinosaur as being too fake
AT THE TOP OF THE REVIEW:
You are reading a contribution to the Disney ~*~ When You Wish Upon A Star Write-Off!
Emily Rose, the young daughter (15 months old) of fellow Epinion member, ImAmes, is battling Retniblastoma (a form of...
Pros: Groundbreaking realistic animation, live action backgrounds, wonderful music and sound effects Cons: Nothing significant
I love Disney and DreamWorks animated features mostly because of the incredible work they put into their animation but also because they satisfy my childlike inclinations. In the mainstream world, I would venture to say that Disney is leader the pack,...
Pros: Excellent looking movie. Cons: I actually put 'excellent looking movie' in the pro.
Now, of course, I should start by saying that this is a terrible movie.
I often start reviews by making sure that I mention that the movie is good, because I am going to say a lot about the bad things. I want it to be clear that overall the...
Pros: Way too cool. Cons: Didn't make it 20 years ago.
This Walt Disney movie is the best Dinosaur movie for children I have ever seen. I love Dinosaurs and have since I was a child. Now thanks to Disney I can share my love for Dinosaurs (and Lemurs) with my children. Okay my 3 year old son fell asleep but...
Pros: interesting use of life photos and computer graphics, good theme and plot, almost believable scenes Cons: some scenes too obvious in their computer enhancement, might not be interesting or understandable to younger viewers
Disney has definitely decided to go the way of the computer as far as all of their latest animated films are concerned. Take Toy Story 1 & 2 and A Bug's Life for example, both of which were done by Pixar Entertainment, a...
Pros: It's a feast for the eyes. Cons: That's all it is.
Dinosaur presents a real dilemma for a critic: While the visual aspects of the movie are jaw-droppingly impressive, the overbaked script is too familiar and the plot is simply a retread. So in the interest of fairness, I hope to judge this movie on its...
Pros: Wow! What incredible animation! Cons: Now, about that script...
In the prehistoric days of Hollywood, when King Kong roamed the earth and Raquel Welch shivered in a fur bikini, dinosaurs were great lumbering lumps of clay, shot frame by frame and moved a micro-fraction of a millimeter each time. These great roaring...
Pros: amazing animation, visually stunning, first-of-its-kind film Cons: more graphic death scenes than young children can handle
My family first became aware of "Dinosaur" when its teaser preview was shown before "Toy Story 2" in theatres. The animation was jaw-dropping, and we were instantly hooked. My children counted the days until its release, and finally...
Pros: Computer-generated dinosaurs; special effects Cons: Heavy story with violence and a less than wonderful script
Before we begin, please repeat these words after me: "This is NOT a documentary!" Got that? Good! Because if you have got that much down, you will most likely enjoy Disney’s latest feature Dinosaur.
Dinosaurs have always amazed me. They are beautiful and mysterious. The fact that these great beasts once walked the Earth is the most amazing thing about them. I love a great dinosaur flick. "Jurassic Park" is still in my mind as one of...
Pros: animation was cool,really! fun to watch..Della Reese is one of a kind Cons: what is it with this anthropomorphic stuff? How come ALL the dinosaurs didn't talk?
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle! No wait, well I'll be a monkey uncle to a dinosaur, no wait, I'll be the grandmother to two monkeys, and keep a lizard on the side...no wait...Excuse me while I try to get myself into an 8 year old frame of mind. Because if...
Pros: Technically amazing, good intentions Cons: Sort of boring
With a story too drab for kids and themes too obvious for adults, Dinosaur is a big movie that seems to have been made for a small audience. It's got the best intentions in the world, but it's short on fun and long on sermonizing.
