I enjoyed Disney’s Dinosaur. This movie was part of my childhood alongside other dinosaur movies like The Land Before Time and of course Jurassic Park.
I don't think anyone will ever make great dinosaur movies like this again.. everyone thinks dinos are for dumb baby's so are movies need to be dumb too.. 🙄
The funny thing here tho is that the into sequence for Disneys Dinosaurus where the Pteranodon flies over the herd is filmed in the tepui mountains wich are huge plateaus and mountains in north east South America and the oldest mountains in the world and I belive almost all of them have ecosystems completly unique to a single mountain at times with massive cave systems bellow them. And the Lost World just so happens to be on a plateau in South America. So yeah Id say your not far off there Edaph.
When I was a kid and even as an adult leaned towards the asteriod that destroyed lemur island as an early one. The big one that will kill them all is couple of years off.
This has actually been my own fan theory for years. Cool to see someone else thought of it too. I'm also very glad to see the 2001 BBC version of The Lost World getting so much love. It has always been my favourite dinosaur movie but it was completely obscure until it was put on Netflix very recently.
What I find funny is that the Geosternbergia that carries Aladar's egg to the lemur island is given a ton of material to the point where she could be mistaken as a member of the main cast. Of course, she only has a role in the games where she's named Flia.
Even Schaffrillas said that he was open to people having different opinions on the film to the point of wanting to see them and openly encourages people to not copy his opinion, he says he hates that kind of thing which I passionately agree with. He's not going saying that only his opinion matters, he was only criticizing the people who like it purely because of nostalgia.
@@troin3925 that's good, there's a lot of movies I like that Schaff doesn't like. But liking it because of nostalgia isn't a bad thing, it's just normal and common.
@@troin3925Personally looking back I am very sure its not nostalgia talking its the serious tone that I really love and the complexity of the characters struggling to live and finding ways to cope with harsh life in basically an apocalypse
Lmao, people will laugh at this until they realize how much of your evidence connects together very well like puzzle pieces. This is honestly the most interesting fan theory I have ever bumped into.
I actually loved the movie dinosaur. I still enjoy it to this day. I wish that people would try and revisit the movie to see if there thoughts on it have changed. I also remember that there was a lot of merchandise everywhere back when it came out. Part of me wishes that it got a sequel or a reboot or perhaps a live action remake. But then again I don't really see where the story would go from there 🤔
This movie is my second favorite Disney animated movie of all time behind Tarzan. And the way people call this a bad movie and rank this as the worst film in the Disney canon is just mind boggling to me. Chicken Little is the worst film in the Disney canon! (IMO) And this film is also my favorite dinosaur movie of all time as well, above Jurassic Park. But nice theory.
First: Love the theory. I can see it being true. Second: Massive respect for giving Dinosaur the recognition it deserves. Third: A nod to The Prince of Egypt?! Nice!
I’ll always be very fond of this film, great video. I will never stop appreciating the addition of the Carnotaurus, it’s design is only rivalled by that of the individual seen in Terra Nova. Very interested to see more speculative content like this!
I loved this movie as a kid, probably because I was huge dinosaur nerd. Thank you for actually giving it some credit, especially for that soundtrack. It went HARD.
The only thing i didn't like about Disney's "Dinosaur" is the fact that it didn't it barley shown a Tyrannosaur or a Tyrannosaurid. It was one of if not, the first ever Dinosaur movie i ever saw as a kid. Edit: Good theory btw!
They hate it for being a rip-off to The Land Before Time. And how they claim the CGI is horrible by today's standards, the colors dreadful and ugly, the writing being bad that someone claim that Michael Bay, M. Night Shyamalan, or George Lucas had secretly wrote the script, the characters being archetypes instead of characters, and like I said that the story being extremely thin. And that it does not fit in the canon. Well, I find all of that complete dogshit.
I used my pocket money to pay for me and my cousins to watch this at the cinema. The opening scene is still one of the most amazing moments I have ever experienced in a cinema.
I'll admit, it's actually a pretty cool theory. Side note: Disney's Dinosaur is my favorite Dinosaur movie. It may not be the best one, and i do acknowledge that there are better Dinosaur movies out there, (Jurassic Park & Land Before Time), but it's still one of my favorite animated movies of all time. Maybe it's just my nostalgic memories of the film, but it's a movie that i both love & enjoy watching regardless of it's flaws.
@@carminecdinoproductions same here I love this movie to death especially the look of the carno with that devil look with shades of red absolutely amazing yet scary.
Its the best animated movie. Nothing tops it (jurassic Park doesn't count since its live action) I like land before time but Sarah really drags the movie down for me, the good dinosaur is crap and don't get me started on the walking with dinosaurs movie...
You know, I remember that I read the Lost World shortly after Jurassic Park: The Lost World came out...entirely because I'd found a copy of Dinosaur Summer (A story that continues the story of the Doyle's The Lost World)...which confused me and then I found Doyles...unfortunately, the other books Doyle wrote with the characters devolve very quickly into stupidity because Challenger becomes an idiot. Dinosaur Summer is a good book, though, if you can find a copy of it. The worldbuilding of a world that has had live dinosaurs around in zoos and circus' for decades was really neat...plus what they find on the Plateau has some very horrifying things.
The Land Before Time may have been the first dinosaur-related type of media I ever watched, but Disney’s Dinosaur was what officially got me into palaeomedia.
I loved this movie as a kid, I'm glad it is getting more attention now, it's really underrated. I loved dinosaurs as a kid and this one, along with Jurassic Park and The Land Before Time were my favourite dinosaur movies, I have a lot of nostalgia for it. The animation is really impressive and amazing for a movie from the year 2000, and the soundtrack is so epic, emotional and memorable. I always assumed that the asteroid in the movie was not the one that caused the KT-mass extinction, but a smaller, hypothetical one that struck the earth earlier before the big one. This would also explain why there are dinosaur species that were already extinct when the big one struck the earth, because the movie is set many million years before the KT-mass extinction. And regarding the lemurs, as a kid I always imagined the lemurs in the movie to be the ancestors of humans.
Good lord this is the first video I've evee seen of yours, and aswell as the first video proposing this theory , and I have to say, this is fantastic, I'd love to see more videos like this produced by you!! Keep up the great work!!
Got to say for an April Fools theory video, pretty good. Really enjoyed the cuts of the Apidium, Godinochia and King Julien and the lemurs from Madagascar with Dinosaur's lemurs. Overall, great video Edaphosaurus even for April Fools. Both movies are very solid and it's a shame they aren't appreciated more. Keep up the good content, stay safe and have a good day.
I fucking loved Dinosaur as a kid, and I adore it more now that I'm an adult. That movie and Jurassic Park (of course), and the Dino Crisis games were the sparks for my love for prehistory.
This is one of my all time favorite. My family and my favorite uncle watched this movie together on my 6th birthday and I can still remember the time I pissed my pants because I was so overwhelmed with dinosaurs on the screen. I still find myself watching this movie every now and then(I am 28 now). RIP uncle Moses. I miss our boxing training.
@@RaptorRockDrakeJesusAll I’m gonna say is that he said it’s okay to like it even though he doesn’t. I haven’t seen a single person who doesn’t begin their explanation as to why they like Dinosaur without “when I was young I enjoyed it” or “when I was a little kid I loved Dinosaur” I know there are probably plenty of people who like Dinosaur without nostalgia goggles on but the people with them on are 100% the vast majority. Hell even I liked it when I was young but don’t like it now. I know all the people in the comments are probably just being half serious but I just think most people only like it because they grew up on it.
@@rockettbennett I'm glad he brought up how frustrating it is when people take other people's opinions as gospel instead of thinking for themselves. In a community post, he linked a review that was a response to his opinion on Dinosaur and encouraged people to watch it.
I was seven when DINOSAUR came out, which was right in that sweetspot of my childhood obsession with all things pre-historic. So, this film is a personal favorite
Facts that support the theory: Iguanodon and its branch family is perhaps one of the most successful species of dinosaurs, added to the fact that, without natural predators, Maple White Land could have been overpopulated until the Carnotaurus arrived, it would result in a change in the flora and the extinction of fauna such as Styracosarus or Parasaurolophus; it would not be until the Carnotaurus that the ecosystem would stabilize. Also, I believe that the meteorite that fell was not the one that killed the dinosaurs but a small part of it (although it was actually a comet) that preceded the larger one, something like a shower before the major impact. This would give rise to more dinosaurs like the Stegosaurus (which curiously the concept art of its cousin is more similar to the one seen in the novel than the current Stegosaurus) would come to take refuge in Maple White Land
wether the parallel was voluntarily drawn or not, we can't tell. But that's a pretty cool theory imo ; and would be the perfect setting for a Disney's The Lost World adaptation, serving as a low-key sequel to Dinosaur (a beloved movie from my childhood). Now, i'm pretty sure Disney would heavily modify the story, making the "savage" human the bad guys treating dinosaurs as livestock and persecuting the "lemur-men" chilling in the forest, eating fruits and raising stray baby dinosaurs ; dinotopia-style. . . I sure would watch something even as bad as that
@@thatswhatshesaid2777 And that would be for the best. Challenger didn't need to get involved in the war. He was leading a scientific expedition ; not a crusade...
That was awesome, lol. I can understand some of the hate towards Dinosaur but I’ve always loved it. Specially the soundtrack if I’m honest. Great theory! Now it’ll forever be in my head cannon
"They fight off a carnotaurus and they kill him in the most disney way possible. Crone dies of cringe." Just that entire sentence alone had me burst out laughing. I really didn't expect that
In a small part of the book when they were exploring the Lost World it said "We saw many small animals such as porcupines a scaly anteater and a wild pig" a scaly anteater aka Pangolin, a Pangolin being in the lost world to me it's more confusing than a dinosaur
I loved this movie as a kid, but then again I also loved Jurassic Park 2 and Were Back. Looking back, it holds up a little bit. The visuals and music are awe inspiring. I don’t think anyone has ever made such convincing CGI dinosaurs sense the first Jurassic Park movie. And the music swells my enjoyment every time (the opening scene is worth the price of admission). The downside in my opinion, is that the story is a bit lacking. It’s as you said, exodus with dinosaurs. It’s not they poorly told, but the characterization needs more work. Still, it’s not as bad as people say it is.
Dinosaur was the second Dinosaur movie I ever saw. The first being The Land Before Time. I was just 2 years old when I first saw it, i've loved it ever since.
I like this theory and find it interesting, plus I think the Dinosaurs of the lost world film, should be more like the cryptid dinosaurs of the congo since they survived, evolved and adapted in a new world and ecosystem.
4:57 You really gotta do me like that with he music my guy. The hype was there for Jurassic Park The Lost World but it goes into the non copyright Walmart soundtrack for JP2
I love how this is an April fools video, but the theory holds up shockingly well.
Released on the day itself, yet no evidence hints it at being a joke. Especially with the sincere defense of this underrated film.

I enjoyed Disney’s Dinosaur. This movie was part of my childhood alongside other dinosaur movies like The Land Before Time and of course Jurassic Park.

And the Lost World just so happens to be on a plateau in South America.
So yeah Id say your not far off there Edaph.

I love reading thru the comments looking for confused people about the lost world since the second jurassic park has the same name 🤣
The Intro itself was amazing tbh
That book Project Tepui just came out. I backed it on kickstarter and it’s so awesome. I got my copy the other day.
Geosternbergia!
I always thought both the land before time and Disney’s dinosaur took place in a alternative universe where dinosaurs never went extinct
Maybe they did 🤔
Well that's also what The lost world is
You must have loved The Good Dinosaur.
They take place millions of years ago, before they went extinct. You're thinking of that garbage movie, the good Dinosaur.
When I was a kid and even as an adult leaned towards the asteriod that destroyed lemur island as an early one. The big one that will kill them all is couple of years off.

In a small part of the book when they were exploring the Lost World it said "We saw many small animals such as porcupines a scaly anteater and a wild pig" a scaly anteater aka Pangolin, a Pangolin being in the lost world to me it's more confusing than a dinosaur
it could actually be an anteater wo convergently evolve scales to protect itself from ant's bite
With this film and King Kong, James Newton Howard should be mandated to score all movies with Dinosaurs.
I fricking loved this movie as a kid, the two carnotaurus villains were so AWESOME and the ending was nice... I miss this movie
I don't care what anyone says, I love this movie and the SOUNDTRACK is AMAZING
You are a freaking genius!
Love it! I do not care what everyone say, this is canon.
I loved this movie as a kid, but then again I also loved Jurassic Park 2 and Were Back.
Looking back, it holds up a little bit. The visuals and music are awe inspiring. I don’t think anyone has ever made such convincing CGI dinosaurs sense the first Jurassic Park movie. And the music swells my enjoyment every time (the opening scene is worth the price of admission).
The downside in my opinion, is that the story is a bit lacking. It’s as you said, exodus with dinosaurs. It’s not they poorly told, but the characterization needs more work. Still, it’s not as bad as people say it is.
Bro this was my favorite movie during my childhood, still to this day I love this movie.
Honestly, I’m going to head canon this until the day I die
Dude this makes soo much sense
Dinosaur was the second Dinosaur movie I ever saw. The first being The Land Before Time. I was just 2 years old when I first saw it, i've loved it ever since.
Bro, how do you not have like 100k+ subs??? This video is great. Please do more like it!
Damn this episode of Film Theory is wild
THIS THEORY IS SO COOL!!! Finally someone talking about this movie :( I watched it so many times as a kid.
I like this theory and find it interesting,
plus I think the Dinosaurs of the lost world film, should be more like the cryptid dinosaurs of the congo since they survived, evolved and adapted in a new world and ecosystem.
I love how music from the wrong lost world starts playing
This was a beautiful theory! It would be a great prequel film to my favorite adaptation of the Lost World.
this movie has a soft spot for me for the fact this introduced me to my favourite dinosaur Carnotaurus as well Iguanodon thanks to this film
Yes, the desired content is reaching my recommended tab.
4:57 You really gotta do me like that with he music my guy. The hype was there for Jurassic Park The Lost World but it goes into the non copyright Walmart soundtrack for JP2
