Exactly. When I was a kid, I assumed that the iguanodons were roughly the size of a horse, or smaller. Especially when compared to the Carnotaurs. I didn’t realize that they made the Carnos a little bigger than a real T. rex at the time. (I was a kid, so I also sucked at gauging sizes when there’s little to no frame of reference.) Then when I started reading books about dinosaurs, I was surprised at their real sizes.
@@bobcat24 But they kept the Velociraptors the same size as the real thing, so you have these tiny creatures as big as a turkey trying to kill something around the same size as an elephant.
@@jacobcox4565 Hey, at least they didn't Jurassic Park them. Despite the lack of feathers, the Velociraptors in this movie are probably still the most anatomically accurate ones seen in a major hollywood movie. iirc even the wrists are held correctly.
The cameo of Aladar at the Disney anniversary truly did touch my heart too bringing back great memories of that movie amongst others. As for the movie I still love it to this day feeling that it is underrated. I wish there's more to be told with this movie and expanded on but I don't want to get my hopes up that Disney will do it well as it currently is. Still it is a timeless classic that deserves to be remembered for all time amongst the other legendary movies of the past.
Fun fact the styracosaurus would have originally told a backstory how she lost her horn her and her mate would have been fighting of a pair of allosaurus and she inpaled one costing her horn there even concept art of it to
Idk if that was planned but the concept art you speak of was nice but there’s 2 carnivorous dinosaurs and they aren’t Allosaurus they’re Tyrannosaurids
The attention to detail in this movie is brilliant. Yes, the story is simple but the details in the background as well as nuances in the characters' expressions mean that there's always something to pick up on rewatches that will make people appreciate the movie more. I never realised the scout was eaten alive onscreen until Dino Guy brought it up. They managed to actually get away with SHOWING the scout get torn apart in a children's movie.
Diesney Dinosaur is a really underrated movie. In fact I was surprised how much it made in theaters. I think the reason people don't talk about it is because of Jurassic Park.
My sort-of theory for Kron and Bruton's nasal structures is that maybe they're something that only appears on big, mature iguanodon bulls, or even something that's triggered by high testosterone. Aladar, as a young adult, may just not be old enough to have a nasal ridge, but could grow one once he's in his prime.
Could also be a dominance thing. Mandrills who lead their troops will have much redder and colorful faces compared to mandrills who don't; when a mandrill overtakes leadership, their face will redden to reflect that. Could be a similar thing, with Bruton and Kron possesing the bosses/nasal structures because they lead the herd.
Your reaction to the Carnotaurus preying on the Pachyrhinosaurus was *LOL (😅)!* Thanks for covering this (😊)! I for one feel this is something of an underrated _gem_ in Disney’s library, comparisons to “Land Before Time” aside. Certain character relationships and character development could’ve been handled a little better, but those are minor nitpicks IMHO ‘cause there’s a lot more to the film that _was_ handled very well IMHO.
Oh wow, I had no idea they took inspiration from parrots for Eema's speech animation for beak! Yes, her name was Eema. I remember being fixated on this movie's visuals during my teens. It gave me the spark to grow my talent and love to add details on my drawings. Especially subtle stylized sexual dimorphism for quick recognision which creature OC of mine is female and which is a male when base animal does not have such differences. I know main Iguanodon characters are extreme and classic example of such stylization, but it was the movement that hit me. Also! The music! Geez, it gives me chills to this day, it's wonderful, especially Baylene's(Brachiosaurus) entrance. I did shameless trace over drawing with realistic Aurorus and ppl loved it. I wanted to honour that splendid nostalgic scene that way. Gosh, I adore it sooo much.
I have a lot of nostalgia for this movie, so I'm sure that colors my perception of it, but it holds up surprisingly well after all these years, I just feel annoyed that Disney has largely ignored this movie ever since it came out. It's deserving of far more respect than being just another Disney footnote.
My favorite was the sassy banter between Eema and Yar when they got lost. If they kept that scene in, it would’ve added more characterization. Which was of the few things this movie kinda lacked. I wish the movie took at least a little more time to develop each of their personalities and relationships with each other.
@bobcat24 you mean the corny sitcomy dialogue that just made the two characters even more like what you'd expect them to be? I don't see how that banter would be good. Sassy doesn't mean actually good.
12:22 Speaking of T-Rex, the writers wanted to use it as the main antagonist for this movie but swapped it with Carnotaurus. They wanted something new instead of using the T-Rex, which has appeared in a ton of dinosaur films. Scientists at the time thought Carnotaurus and Igaunodon lived in South America (now we know Dakotadon lived in that region). Choosing Carnotaurus was better because it wasn't popular then. Edit: Dakotadon didn’t live in South America. Only North America.
The Carnotaurus pair that appear in this movie is not accurate to the size of the animal in real life, but dang it, I LOVE this design of the Carnotaurs in this flick. It's because of this movie that Carnotaurus is possibly my favorite dinosaur. Despite the fact that in real life it was no where near the size that the movie portrays them.
Grew up with it. Loved it. By far the least 'disney' Disney movie of all time, to the point where it doesn't even slightly feel like a Disney movie in the first place. Still have the book for this movie.
Oh I was so happy to see aladar in the short. I was beginning to worry that he wouldn’t make it since Disney hasn’t acknowledged his films existence since it’s run in theaters
It's a 🐐 movie idc what anyone says, easily the best aspect about it was for sure the two carnotaurus es which acted as not only very well done villains but nice horror elements throughout the entire movie. Overall this review was pretty good 👏
Seeing Aladar in Once Upon A Studio really made my heart soar. This film is extremely important to me, it's not only one of the earliest media _things_ I can remember, it was _the_ thing that got me as into dinosaurs as I am. Knowing Disney hasn't totally forgotten it makes me really happy, even in just a small acknowledgement like this.
Far from boring, "Dinosaur 2000" is an overlooked gem, it was/is one of the only two Disney films I actually enjoyed(The other being "Mighty Joe Young"). There are no musical numbers, the CGI still holds up, the characters are good, the score by James Newton Howard is phenomenal and the creature designs are great(inaccuracies aside).
Also, I recently rewatched Walking With Dinosaurs 3D, because it was a childhood movie of my younger brother. And that movie was great, very entertaining and as far as I can tell most (if not all) the facts about dinosaurs presented in the movie are correct. Maybe you can talk about it in the future?
Why am I obsessed and love Disney’s Dinosaur? Happy 24th to Disney’s Dinosaur I practically grew up watching Dinosaur, and it’s where I got my childhood love for dinosaurs. And it’s my all-time favorite Disney film. This is the movie that introduced me to the prehistoric creatures I know and love today. I was only 3 years old when I first watched it and I immediately knew in my young mind that I would love it with all my heart. The animation has to be some of the most gorgeous animation I’ve ever seen thanks to the creatures blending in so well with real life environments. I honestly don’t care about the inaccuracies because the story, music, and characters provided with incredible voice acting always gets my mind off of all of it.
"This movie is rated PG, but..." _Laughs in Watership Down_ But really, this is a good movie! I could've done without the "love monkey," but otherwise, it's totally rewatchable!
9:48 It’s fun to see the names of the different species, since there are a few ones that I didn’t know about (such as Longisquama, Notharctus and Talarurus). For some reason, I always thought that Notharctus/the lemurs were ”made up” because, to me as a kid, it felt like they didn’t really fit that well with the dinosaurs. Nowadays I know that mammal-like species existed at the same time as the dinosaurs.
I practically grew up watching Dinosaur, and it’s where I got my childhood love for dinosaurs. And it’s my all-time favorite Disney film. And I also love the film’s soundtrack score done by James Newton Howard who also did Atlantis: The Lost World, Treasure Planet, and the recent Raya and the Last Dragon which I didn’t know at first. I only wished that I saw Dinosaur in theaters. In my terms, theoretically, if Spielberg used the same filming experience like in Jurassic Park 7 years earlier, a few scenes they would have used live-action animatronic dinosaurs with some close-up shots on the characters to make them look more real.
This was my favorite movie as a kid, I watched it over and over and over and I played the PS2 video game constantly, it's literally my childhood. The music especially, the desert journey song is like the textbook "on a big walk/journey" song for me (and even my parents lol). Seeing Aladar in Once upon a studio made me so happy, like they included my boy! Definitely underrated imo, and its one of the reasons Iguanodon is one of my favorites.
One of my favorite things i like about this movie is something i dont see many people mention: the sound design. Especially the few times we hear parasaurolophus, its actually imo the most accurate sounding version i've heard
As a lifelong fan of this movie, I'm incapable of giving an unbiased opinion on it. 😅 The score, the animation, the sets, the intense scenes, the sheer animalistic brutality of it all ....top notch movie.
I agree that Dinosaur is heavily underrated. It’s very creative how they filmed live action backgrounds and animated the characters with CGI, which is a unique choice for a Disney animated film, the soundtrack by James Newton Howard is really epic and dramatic, and the action scenes are quite intense, but awesome at the same time, since it shows Disney was willing push the boundaries of family friendly entertainment. While the story may seem basic and predictable at first glance, it’s not terrible, and most of the characters are still decent and likable (though I’m not the biggest fan of the lemur Zini and his attempts at being funny). I especially like Aladar, Eema, Baylene, Bruton, and the Carnotaurs for what they bring to the story. I also really like how this movie features the clash of two ideologies and how it’s not necessarily one ideology coming out on top over the other, but rather the mixture of both ideologies that determines the outcome. Also, as a dino fan, this movie had a huge impact on me since it introduced me to some of the species featured, like Carnotaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, and Microceratus. So yeah, while this isn’t the best movie that Disney has made, it’s not the worst either. I think this movie should be given some recognition every now and then, and I give Disney a lot of credit for trying something different with their animated storytelling for this film, so there’s that too. May that one Pachyrhinosaurus rest in peace.
This movie is profoundly underrated and misunderstood. It is a landmark film and Aladar-Kron relationship dynamic is super realistic. If you’ve ever dealt with a strongman leader type
Yes!!! This aspect doesn’t get talked about enough. Throughout my life, I’ve felt like my dad has a lot in common with Kron. Strong leader, but many times can be too strong and forceful. And very short tempered. (Thankfully, dad has slowly mellowed to some extent. He’s not quite as quick to anger as he used to be. Could be due to his age, or experience. But still not a person you’d wanna irritate.)
Dinosaur was the very first movie I saw in theaters when it came out so maybe it has a few bias points from that but I really found it amazing to watch. I also lived in one of the area where the movie was shot, (The sequence where Aladar ran from the raptors and encountered the herd) and for a high school field trip in my filmmaking class, we went out to the area and got to explore the area ourselves so that was very special to me.
I had no clue the beaks on the Iguanadons were present at all until just now. I honestly do love the movie and do agree that there should've been a bit more character development but overall I'd recommend it to anyone really. Also there's a dark deleted scene involving what I read were Aladar's grandparents who literally sacrifice themselves to the Carnotaurus couple so the rest of the herd can get away.
This movie got me into paleontology and i absolutely love it faults and all. That opening scene was everything to me as a kid the artsyle was and still is my favorite artsyle of any paleo media with prehistoric park the video game being a close second.
Disneys Dinosaur is one of my favorite childhood Dinosaur movies and is heavily underrated in my opinion. yes true, there are some innacuracies and some minor plot issues but i didnt mind as much because it was just an excuse to watch a dinosaurmovie and its very entertaining, and like you said in the video, some very intense moments. now that you mentioned it in the video, that part were the dinosaur scout gets eaten whilst Bruton is attacked, i NEVER seen that dinosaur getting eaten, i was too busy to watch Bruton fight so this is my actual first time i knew about that little detail, so thank you for pointing that out. but its indeed one of the more memorable scenes and very intense and actually pretty scary. also love the soundtrack.
This movie was the biggest part of my childhood along with Toy Story and later the Jurassic Park trilogy, It's sad how underrated it was, I use to have many copies from VHS to DVD's which i still own some to this day, It's so cool it's on Disney + just like other films that everyone may have forgotten that they existed The dinosaurs may not be 100 % accurate but still an interesting movie, I'm happy that Disney's Once Upon a Studio short did not forget about Aladar as he and his lemur family where shortly scene in the end But it may not have Neera, Emma, Earl plus Baileen ( Sorry for misspell ) and the Carnotauruses but that's fine since at least we saw Aladar and the lemurs
I watched this movie a couple of times, but personally I never really liked it that much, maybe because it wasn't as good as Jurassic Park or Land Before time? I loved dinosaurs as a kid and I still do, so I could watch it, but right now I'm more interested in documentaries with more information than a movie mostly for entertainment. Also, if I didn't like it that much back then, I don't know if I would like it today.
If there's something I remember about this movie are the carnotaurus, this is one of the first tims I saw carnotaurus, and they were great. (This movie has two carnos right? Or I'm confused with Dino Stalker? 🤨😅
@@shidanslair Yes the carnos are 2. This is something the studio should have worked on a bit more. I've always wondered are the two a pair (cause they are a bigger and a smaller one), have they been together as a result of the meteor etc. Also I wish more of the dinos had lines, cause all the iguanodons except Aladar, Neera and Kron and Bruton look visually the same.
Here's something that always confuses me though In the cave scene, while Aladar looks for Bruton's body in the rocks, you see one of the Carno's body laying dead, and when the big one breaks out, you see another dead one's head just nearby Aladar's while he stares at a rock pile that seems like the Carno is breaking out of there when really he's left to Aladar and not far away either it seems It's so confusing, it makes it seem like there are two dead bodies, and two alive ones Can anyone explain?
Sorry nobody answered yet but I will give my two scents... I know what you mean. It does seem weird. My guess is its just the angles playing tricks on our eyes or maybe it was an oversight from the artists. Another possibility is they maybe took another shot out of the film and stitched what was left in there and it creates that illusion but I really cant say as it always confused me as well.
I think the iguanadons are onto something when it comes to heard formation. The slowest are always picked off in the back,so bring slow but powerful dinosaurs with you,and the three present are the last thing carnivores would think of hunting a brachiosaurus that could crush them with ease,a styracosaurus that could impale them and make them bleed in seconds,and an ankylosaur that could break their legs and leave them crippled for life
The only thing I don’t like about this movie is those 2 ichthyornises making the Geosternbergia (Pteranodon Sternbergi) drop the egg Aladar was in it would be better if a lighting strike made the Geosternbergia drop the egg overall It’s a good movie it reminds me of Camp Cretaceous
Dinosaur I watched it alot in my childhood I still have the VHS and Is on my top 10 VHS I own and is one of my prized possessions land before time is still my number 1 VHS
If you look at the original animation test, ruclips.net/video/O4zEFsDKx3o/видео.html, Noah (Aladar) still has his beak. The beak was later removed when it was decided to have the dinosaurs lip sync to their speech.
Eh, I like the coat of paint. But that’s just a personal opinion. However, the writing is where I’d love to improve. Especially the dialogue, character development & interactions, and humor.
Watched it with my mother and while we enjoyed it, we do wish that Kron hadn’t died at the end. He kind of just gets thrown at a rock, perishing on impact. It would’ve said a lot if he’d been allowed to learn that standing for those weaker than you was a good thing.
I love Kron's death scene. Not because I hated him or even disliked him. Despite how stupidly stubborn he was, he didn't deserve to die and the little moments of vulnerability he showed occasionally, especially after Neera knocked him away from Aladar and you can see in his face that he's genuinely hurt, made him feel like he wasn't just a one note bully. I do wish they'd kept the deleted scene that showed him going back for Neera when she rushed to rescue the baby Iguanadon but the facial animation, which is excellent in this movie, was still enough to show that Kron wasn't as heartless as he pretended to be. However, I still love the scene because of how brutally realistic it was. Kron had no tragic last words, no time to make amends for his behaviour, and the last thing he saw was his sister throwing herself into a Carnotaur that could rip her to shreds. As far as he knew, Neera was about to die alongside him and there was nothing he could do about it. Kron didn't live long enough to see Aladar rescue her, so his last thoughts would have been something along the lines of "my sister is going to die and it's all my fault!" It took HUGE balls to put such a dark death scene in a children's movie. I commend the filmmakers for sticking to their guns. Bruton suffered a similarly brutal fate and had the most badass death scene in the movie by taking on two Carnotaurs at once and managing to kill one despite having only just recovered from his injuries. When I was a child, I tried writing a sequel where Bruton survived because I'd grown to like him but as an adult, I appreciate that this film didn't water things down for the kids.
Is it that bad? Previously, yes. But when Intrada recently released an expanded soundtrack, no. Is it underrated? Yes. But I see that some of the film's storyline is similar to The Land Before Time (both films have characters go from point A to point B).
I saw the movie like once as a teenager, and I thought it was ok. It's not all that good, but also not extremly bad, it's just kinda alright. I'm not a big fan of movies with talking dinosaurs in the first place. I prefer dinosaur documentaries.
Disney's Dinosaur is one of if not the BEST Dinosaur movie of all time Idc if Jurassic Park exists also as a fellow Pachyrhinosaurus fanboy watching it get killed it hurt my heart
They also didn't prolong it anymore than they needed to. There wasn't a single wasted move in that fight. It was quick, efficient and showed that Aladar was faster but couldn't match Kron's experience and brute strength.
@@tomnorton4277 They also used all of their weapons. Kron started with his teeth bitting Aladar, both of his spikes to blind and slash Aladar, and then his tail to finish him off
I was really hoping you'd cover this soon. I know you said it was inaccurate for the brachiosaurus to stand in Jurassic Park and wondered how you thought they could escape the cave in this movie since Bertha couldn't stand to break through and reach the valley. I always wanted Disney to do lion king with dinosaurs and it's close enough with this even down to the music. Honestly this is the only movie I wouldn't mind a Disney live action remake of as long as they have things prehistoric planet level accurate with designs etc.
I like how Once Upon a Studio actually got Aladar's size right. Sometimes, you forget he's supposed to be almost as big as an elephant.
Exactly. When I was a kid, I assumed that the iguanodons were roughly the size of a horse, or smaller. Especially when compared to the Carnotaurs. I didn’t realize that they made the Carnos a little bigger than a real T. rex at the time. (I was a kid, so I also sucked at gauging sizes when there’s little to no frame of reference.)

Almost? Aladar was bigger at least as big as a Columbian mammoth
@@jacobcox4565 we'll there were LOTS of them
I love how the Iguanadon beak is underneath the lips. The Carnotaurus being oversized was Disney having a “T. Rex” without it being obvious.
John Hammond: We have a T. rex.
Disney’s Dinosaur: We have a Carnotaur.
The cameo of Aladar at the Disney anniversary truly did touch my heart too bringing back great memories of that movie amongst others.

The waterfall scene with the egg traveling in the beak of the pterosaur was one of the most spectacular!!
Fun fact the styracosaurus would have originally told a backstory how she lost her horn her and her mate would have been fighting of a pair of allosaurus and she inpaled one costing her horn there even concept art of it to
And concept art of the allo pack of 3
Idk if that was planned but the concept art you speak of was nice but there’s 2 carnivorous dinosaurs and they aren’t Allosaurus they’re Tyrannosaurids
@Godzillus2000 yeah I figured they were probably dasps
@Godzillus2000 it was planned almost made it in but it's the very reason her horn was broken in the movie
My jaw literally dropped when u pointed out the scout being eaten alive on film... I had no idea😭🤣🤣

The first time I saw this was back in preschool, then later with my family. I don't mind the oversized carnotaurus, it's simply nostalgic to me.

This was my absolute favourite movie as a kid and really kickstarted my fascination with dinosaurs
We can thank this movie for putting Carnotaurus into the spotlight
Agreed, and for all its flaws, I’d argue the same for JP3 in putting the Spinosaurus into the spotlight.
The best part about the deleted scenes is knowing what could have been.
My favorite was the sassy banter between Eema and Yar when they got lost. If they kept that scene in, it would’ve added more characterization. Which was of the few things this movie kinda lacked.

As a lifelong fan of this movie, I'm incapable of giving an unbiased opinion on it. 😅
The score, the animation, the sets, the intense scenes, the sheer animalistic brutality of it all ....top notch movie.
I agree that Dinosaur is heavily underrated. It’s very creative how they filmed live action backgrounds and animated the characters with CGI, which is a unique choice for a Disney animated film, the soundtrack by James Newton Howard is really epic and dramatic, and the action scenes are quite intense, but awesome at the same time, since it shows Disney was willing push the boundaries of family friendly entertainment. While the story may seem basic and predictable at first glance, it’s not terrible, and most of the characters are still decent and likable (though I’m not the biggest fan of the lemur Zini and his attempts at being funny). I especially like Aladar, Eema, Baylene, Bruton, and the Carnotaurs for what they bring to the story. I also really like how this movie features the clash of two ideologies and how it’s not necessarily one ideology coming out on top over the other, but rather the mixture of both ideologies that determines the outcome. Also, as a dino fan, this movie had a huge impact on me since it introduced me to some of the species featured, like Carnotaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, and Microceratus. So yeah, while this isn’t the best movie that Disney has made, it’s not the worst either. I think this movie should be given some recognition every now and then, and I give Disney a lot of credit for trying something different with their animated storytelling for this film, so there’s that too.
May that one Pachyrhinosaurus rest in peace.
was my first contact with Iguanodon and Carnotaurus, really loved it
This movie is profoundly underrated and misunderstood. It is a landmark film and Aladar-Kron relationship dynamic is super realistic. If you’ve ever dealt with a strongman leader type
Yes!!! This aspect doesn’t get talked about enough. Throughout my life, I’ve felt like my dad has a lot in common with Kron. Strong leader, but many times can be too strong and forceful. And very short tempered. (Thankfully, dad has slowly mellowed to some extent. He’s not quite as quick to anger as he used to be. Could be due to his age, or experience. But still not a person you’d wanna irritate.)
Dinosaur was the very first movie I saw in theaters when it came out so maybe it has a few bias points from that but I really found it amazing to watch. I also lived in one of the area where the movie was shot, (The sequence where Aladar ran from the raptors and encountered the herd) and for a high school field trip in my filmmaking class, we went out to the area and got to explore the area ourselves so that was very special to me.
A very good underrated movie
I had no clue the beaks on the Iguanadons were present at all until just now. I honestly do love the movie and do agree that there should've been a bit more character development but overall I'd recommend it to anyone really. Also there's a dark deleted scene involving what I read were Aladar's grandparents who literally sacrifice themselves to the Carnotaurus couple so the rest of the herd can get away.
It's better than any crap Disney is coming out with these days.
This movie got me into paleontology and i absolutely love it faults and all.
That opening scene was everything to me as a kid the artsyle was and still is my favorite artsyle of any paleo media with prehistoric park the video game being a close second.
Disneys Dinosaur is one of my favorite childhood Dinosaur movies and is heavily underrated in my opinion. yes true, there are some innacuracies and some minor plot issues but i didnt mind as much because it was just an excuse to watch a dinosaurmovie and its very entertaining, and like you said in the video, some very intense moments.
now that you mentioned it in the video, that part were the dinosaur scout gets eaten whilst Bruton is attacked, i NEVER seen that dinosaur getting eaten, i was too busy to watch Bruton fight so this is my actual first time i knew about that little detail, so thank you for pointing that out. but its indeed one of the more memorable scenes and very intense and actually pretty scary. also love the soundtrack.
This movie was the biggest part of my childhood along with Toy Story and later the Jurassic Park trilogy, It's sad how underrated it was, I use to have many copies from VHS to DVD's which i still own some to this day, It's so cool it's on Disney + just like other films that everyone may have forgotten that they existed
The dinosaurs may not be 100 % accurate but still an interesting movie, I'm happy that Disney's Once Upon a Studio short did not forget about Aladar as he and his lemur family where shortly scene in the end
But it may not have Neera, Emma, Earl plus Baileen ( Sorry for misspell ) and the Carnotauruses but that's fine since at least we saw Aladar and the lemurs
I watched this movie a couple of times, but personally I never really liked it that much, maybe because it wasn't as good as Jurassic Park or Land Before time?
I loved dinosaurs as a kid and I still do, so I could watch it, but right now I'm more interested in documentaries with more information than a movie mostly for entertainment. Also, if I didn't like it that much back then, I don't know if I would like it today.
If there's something I remember about this movie are the carnotaurus, this is one of the first tims I saw carnotaurus, and they were great. (This movie has two carnos right? Or I'm confused with Dino Stalker? 🤨😅
@@shidanslair Yes the carnos are 2. This is something the studio should have worked on a bit more. I've always wondered are the two a pair (cause they are a bigger and a smaller one), have they been together as a result of the meteor etc. Also I wish more of the dinos had lines, cause all the iguanodons except Aladar, Neera and Kron and Bruton look visually the same.
Here's something that always confuses me though
In the cave scene, while Aladar looks for Bruton's body in the rocks, you see one of the Carno's body laying dead, and when the big one breaks out, you see another dead one's head just nearby Aladar's while he stares at a rock pile that seems like the Carno is breaking out of there when really he's left to Aladar and not far away either it seems
It's so confusing, it makes it seem like there are two dead bodies, and two alive ones
Can anyone explain?
Sorry nobody answered yet but I will give my two scents...
I know what you mean. It does seem weird. My guess is its just the angles playing tricks on our eyes or maybe it was an oversight from the artists.
Another possibility is they maybe took another shot out of the film and stitched what was left in there and it creates that illusion but I really cant say as it always confused me as well.
I absolutely LOVED this movie as a kid.
It’s one of my favorite dinosaur movies of all, and one of my top favorite Disney movies of all, too.
I absolutely love this movie, it first introduced me to dinosaurs and the rest is history 😎
I LOVE DISNEY DINOSAUR, I just rewatched it yesterday, it’s still in my opinion still an underrated Disney movie!!!
I think the iguanadons are onto something when it comes to heard formation.
The slowest are always picked off in the back,so bring slow but powerful dinosaurs with you,and the three present are the last thing carnivores would think of hunting
a brachiosaurus that could crush them with ease,a styracosaurus that could impale them and make them bleed in seconds,and an ankylosaur that could break their legs and leave them crippled for life
The Carnotaurus in this movie is the best fake theropod ever put to film, the JW hybrids got nothing on these guys
The only thing I don’t like about this movie is those 2 ichthyornises making the Geosternbergia (Pteranodon Sternbergi) drop the egg Aladar was in it would be better if a lighting strike made the Geosternbergia drop the egg overall It’s a good movie it reminds me of Camp Cretaceous
The movie that gave me my fascination with Dinosaurs and Paleontology forever
I love Disney's Dinosaur (2000) the classic underrated Disney animated movie.
It's a great movie. And I gave this movie an 8/10.
It was one of my favorite Disney movies.
Dinosaur I watched it alot in my childhood I still have the VHS and Is on my top 10 VHS I own and is one of my prized possessions land before time is still my number 1 VHS
The animals are so beautiful to look at and enjoyable 3:00
Watch out for the carnotaurs 0:49
I was happy that carnotaurus got the love it deserved in the 2000s
If you look at the original animation test, ruclips.net/video/O4zEFsDKx3o/видео.html, Noah (Aladar) still has his beak. The beak was later removed when it was decided to have the dinosaurs lip sync to their speech.
The Handsome and the Beautiful Iguanodon
I hope we get Dinosaur in the next Kingdom Hearts? The Carnotaurs would be perfect as Heartless!
The amount of gore and representation of death in this film was astounding.
This is a movie that actually needs a remake. With more tighter writing and fresh coat of paint
Eh, I like the coat of paint. But that’s just a personal opinion. However, the writing is where I’d love to improve. Especially the dialogue, character development & interactions, and humor.
Watched it with my mother and while we enjoyed it, we do wish that Kron hadn’t died at the end. He kind of just gets thrown at a rock, perishing on impact. It would’ve said a lot if he’d been allowed to learn that standing for those weaker than you was a good thing.
I love Kron's death scene. Not because I hated him or even disliked him. Despite how stupidly stubborn he was, he didn't deserve to die and the little moments of vulnerability he showed occasionally, especially after Neera knocked him away from Aladar and you can see in his face that he's genuinely hurt, made him feel like he wasn't just a one note bully. I do wish they'd kept the deleted scene that showed him going back for Neera when she rushed to rescue the baby Iguanadon but the facial animation, which is excellent in this movie, was still enough to show that Kron wasn't as heartless as he pretended to be.
However, I still love the scene because of how brutally realistic it was. Kron had no tragic last words, no time to make amends for his behaviour, and the last thing he saw was his sister throwing herself into a Carnotaur that could rip her to shreds. As far as he knew, Neera was about to die alongside him and there was nothing he could do about it. Kron didn't live long enough to see Aladar rescue her, so his last thoughts would have been something along the lines of "my sister is going to die and it's all my fault!"
It took HUGE balls to put such a dark death scene in a children's movie. I commend the filmmakers for sticking to their guns. Bruton suffered a similarly brutal fate and had the most badass death scene in the movie by taking on two Carnotaurs at once and managing to kill one despite having only just recovered from his injuries. When I was a child, I tried writing a sequel where Bruton survived because I'd grown to like him but as an adult, I appreciate that this film didn't water things down for the kids.
I think Disney Dinosaur is a great movie for all time!👍
I WAS NOT ONLY EXCITED I WAS SURPRIUSED :D
The score is an absolut banger.
This movie is Disneys most underrated and i really enjoy it.
Is it that bad? Previously, yes. But when Intrada recently released an expanded soundtrack, no. Is it underrated? Yes. But I see that some of the film's storyline is similar to The Land Before Time (both films have characters go from point A to point B).
Hahaha! I too have a soft spot for the pachyrhinosaurus.
Noo my baby boi
I feel the same way every time I see the brachiosaurus die in fallen Kingdom
This was my childhood although I never understood why the made the carno absolutely massive
Monsters of the stone age
I love this movie!! But that might be because I really like dinosaurs
When you outside and you smell that zaza
I LOVE THE SCORE!!!
When Disney wasn’t a pushover
My favorite Disney movie
I wished if Disney wasn’t always a pushover and I wished Dinosaur needed to more popular
Bro I use to go to blockbuster and rent this movie out I had all the different holo cover sleeves for the VHSs for the first JP Trilogy
I saw the movie like once as a teenager, and I thought it was ok.
It's not all that good, but also not extremly bad, it's just kinda alright.
I'm not a big fan of movies with talking dinosaurs in the first place. I prefer dinosaur documentaries.
I love iguanodons button
👇
This was the sole reason i am who i am today..
So i could never not love this film
I was one of the commenters who said that the Iguanodon had a beak in the mouth
Disney's Dinosaur is one of if not the BEST Dinosaur movie of all time Idc if Jurassic Park exists also as a fellow Pachyrhinosaurus fanboy watching it get killed it hurt my heart
Because of this movie, I found out about Pachyrhinosaurus. I thought that was the coolest looking dinosaur ever.
i think we can all agree that this movie is better than the jw trilogy
I absolutely love this movie but the one thing I absolutely hate about it is the teeth on aladar
One of the best dino movies
This movie 🔥 one of favorites growing w
I think its very underrated
You should have mentioned the fight between Aladar and kron. It had its moment. There were wounds to.
They also didn't prolong it anymore than they needed to. There wasn't a single wasted move in that fight. It was quick, efficient and showed that Aladar was faster but couldn't match Kron's experience and brute strength.
@@tomnorton4277 They also used all of their weapons. Kron started with his teeth bitting Aladar, both of his spikes to blind and slash Aladar, and then his tail to finish him off
I completely forgot this movie existed.
How is it bad, it’s been my favorite sense I was a baby.
I was really hoping you'd cover this soon. I know you said it was inaccurate for the brachiosaurus to stand in Jurassic Park and wondered how you thought they could escape the cave in this movie since Bertha couldn't stand to break through and reach the valley. I always wanted Disney to do lion king with dinosaurs and it's close enough with this even down to the music. Honestly this is the only movie I wouldn't mind a Disney live action remake of as long as they have things prehistoric planet level accurate with designs etc.
10:35 what?? I thought those are teeth too! Cuz there are scenes that he SMILES and with those “teeth” out…!
