Dinosaur movie review & film summary (2000) | Roger Ebert
Dinosaur
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, with such detail that the texture of reptilian skin seems as real as a photograph in National Geographic. If a film had been made in the Cretaceous age, it might have looked a lot like "Dinosaur." The movie is startling in its impact. Against a backdrop of nature, which is clearly real, we see dinosaurs that are scarcely less real. We feel the same sense of wonder that was stirred by "Jurassic Park." These great beas
Does Anyone Remember the movie Dinosaur (2000)?
I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking even at the time that it was just Tarzan with extra steps. Now I recognise it as a failed hybrid script of several key tropes popular at the time. Animation was creepy and poorly done but probably groundbreaking or something. More on reddit.com

April 17, 2023DINOSAUR (2000) is such an ambitious film that I can't help but admire it so much.
Damn the opening scene of the film has had a place in my mind ever since I saw it on VCR as a kid it would sometimes come to the surface but I could never remember what movie it came from. The traveling egg is something I will never forget. The movie itself probably didn’t have that big of an impact on me since I don’t remember any of that lol. More on reddit.com

January 23, 2023Your thoughts on "Dinosaur" (2000)
You did it. You managed to rank Dinosaur over The Rescuers Down Under and Fantasia somehow. Even with tiers I don't think there is any getting away from that choice. There are two movies in the canon that I could not possibly recommend people waste their time on to watch. The Black Cauldron and Dinosaur. More on reddit.com

May 13, 2000 - Dinosaur is a surprisingly strong effort, even in the face of the limitations by the technology the film is using. ... Almost unwatchable. ...

Mute dinosaurs walking around wouldn't be interesting at all and remember, this is a kid's movie. And yes, the animation might not be as good as in Jurassic Park, but this is a fully animated movie, JP used a mix of animatronics and CGI inside an otherwise live action movie, and in a interview ...

Is Dinosaur, the Disney movie from 2000, an animated film or a live action one? I know it uses CGI but it looks real. - Quora
Answer (1 of 2): “Red River” with dinosaurs. The Disney studio had a live-action camera crew out in the field for months shooting what’s called “live-action background plates”, essentially mountains, rivers, sea coasts and flora and fauna from the real world.

r/movies on Reddit: Does Anyone Remember the movie Dinosaur (2000)?
July 16, 2022 -
Does Anyone Remember the Movie "Dinosaur" (2000) which is a live-action/computer-animated film by Disney? It was one of Disney's live-action and a mix of computer-animated alongside films like The Wild and so on. The story is about a young Iguanodon who was adopted and raised by a family of lemurs on a tropical island. After surviving a devastating meteor shower, the family moves out for their new home and befriends a herd of dinosaurs along the way while on a journey to the "Nesting Grounds". I remember watching this as a kid on VHS and being completely creeped out by the designs of the dinosaurs. I rarely see anyone speak about this film at all.

I recently rewatched this, it's not terrible but it doesn't really hold up. The lemur characters literally don't do anything and Aladar has an Oliver Twist issue where he is too good and noble to be interesting. For the time the animation was impressive, but today the only thing that still looks good is the scenery. 5/10

The film opens with a stunning sequence that seamlessly combines gorgeous live-action backdrops with computer-generated dinosaur characters set to a pulse-pounding orchestral score. Then the characters start talking and the magic abruptly departs, replaced with a predictable plot and a distinct lack of thrills. ...
