The raptors were actually originally going to have feathers! The concept art and storyboards show them as feathery, but they were kept scaly in the final movie for practical time/budget concerns (scales are a lot easier to render than feathers)
Zoboomafoo is an absolute classic! I just love how that show came to mind! 1:43 used to terrify me as a kid. Now I just find it hilarious as an adult. 🤣 Also rest in peace to Jovian the lemur who played the live action scenes of Zaboomafoo. He will be missed. 😔
Their proportions actually seem to match Mantellisaurus, which, to be fair, was only considered its own taxon separate from Iguanadon some time after this movie came out.
The hair simulation in this movie was a stepping stone for more modern movies. The raptors were somewhat accurate, but they still did the pronated wrists that was impossible for the actual animal.
0:25 fun fact, the egg stealing dinosaur was based on a fossil of a dinosaur found near some eggs. While it was originally assumed it died trying to eat them, it is now understood that it died in its own nest as those eggs were of its own kind.
Eeyup! Oviraptor! Sort of like a parrot-chicken, it's thought that they were omnivorous generalists, but their nests have actually yielded some of the most well preserved fossils of dinosaur embryos we've ever found. Take Baby Yinliang: an oviraptorid who was discovered inside her egg. She was days from hatching, and from her we got a better idea of how dinosaurs developed.
This had to be one of my favorite movies of all time. Disney didn't bother to kid-ify it because they wanted to make it how it was supposed to be. Herbivores live normally while carnivores constantly hunt them. Pretty much, this is Disney's version of Primal, but more aimed for a family audience. Overall, it was amazing and dark.
9:43 whole species of dinosaurs getting wiped out, very scary carnivores, an antagonist who just wants to get everybody home and is too stubborn to listen to reason, lots of dinosaurs dying of dehydration, some getting crushed to death. Eema almost dying of despair, all the lemurs being wiped out. General bleak tone. Definitely one of the darker Disney films even if it’s not as sophisticated as Hunchback or something
I'm a die-hard Dinosaur Brony & this is my favorite movie of all time, I even bought a Carnotaurus toy based on the film from a comic book shop almost five years ago if you haven't seen my short. This is my jam of a Dino-might movie back in the day but nowadays it inspired me to make the crossover I've been dreaming about but better. I recommend this movie if anyones a Dinosaur fan or Brony/Pegasister.
If I remember correctly, there was a collab between McDonald’s, The Field Museum, and Disney. I just remember the McDonald’s in the museum (which is sadly no longer there) carrying the toys from Dinosaur for years after the film’s release
I used to love this movie as a kid, but now I see it for the flawed Land Before Time wannabe that took itself too seriously and played itself too safe at the same time. There are two great things about this film that I do love however: 1. James Newton Howard’s score 2. The first 7 minutes where there’s no dialogue. Just beautiful landscapes and scenes of dinosaurs living and surviving in the wild as animals do in a nature documentary.
I mean, Fantasia did it first before Land Before Time and Dinosaur and I preferred Fantasia's Rite of Spring over Dinosaur. Mostly because it was beautifully hand drawn and none of the dinosaurs talked and there's no sound in the movie. It's just my opinion.
I know Schaff hates this but I could never hate it. Sure the CGI has aged and it’s not a very original story, but I like that it’s a Disney post-apocalyptic story. The score was amazing. The visuals still are impressive to this day, even on the CGI they clearly worked hard on the details. I like the voice actors, I like the quiet moments and the action. I know it’s just me but I really latched onto this movie as a kid. And as an adult I adore it.
Love this movie! I can remember the marketing for this movie made it seem majestic (at least, to me as a kid), especially since the trailers showed the first few minutes of the movie. Dinosaurs were huge for a very long time (especially after Jurassic Park got big and the Land Before Time movies would premiere/have reruns appear on TV during Thanksgiving), and this movie helped with increasing the popularity of dinosaurs imo! ^^
I was 7 when this came out in cinemas, absolutely loved it! We went to Maccas afterwards and they had the toys which my siblings and I then used to recreated the desert scenes in the sand pit
I'll be 29 next month. This movie, Fantasia, and the Land Before Time series sparked my love for dinosaurs. Currently I'm saving up to study paleontology
I preferred The Rite of Spring segment from Fantasia over Dinosaur. At least it was to see dinosaurs didn't talk in the movie and this came out 60 years before Dinosaur. And it was beautifully hand drawn animated compared to CGI animated about dinosaurs.
I will always prefer CG over 2D, handdrawn or otherwise. My favourite movie of all time is Spy Kids 3D for a reason. Well... Multiple reasons actually.
I'd say a C is a pretty fair score. If you want a crazy ride, though, look into the preproduction hell that this movie went through. I've been studying for years, and I always seem to be finding something new about it. They hired paleoartists to come up with thousands of mostly unused concept art pieces that could function just as easily in a science museum, the story went through several complete overhauls, at one point, Paul Verhoeven was set to direct it (yes, THAT Paul Verhoeven). Even the BTS book they wrote to hype up the film's tech breakthroughs very much reads as "yeah, we had no idea what we were doing until like six years into the project."
5:29 At least they implemented the time period quite accurately: almost all the dinosaur species are from the Cretaceous period, except Baylene, who's a Brachiosaurus, which lived in the Jurassic period, millions of years before Cretaceous. This was simply explained by stating that she was "the last one of her species".😉🦕
i dont care what people say, i love this movie, charming characters, simple plot, but i dont see that being a bad thing in this case, super underrated soundtrack imo, and even the visuals to me at least havent aged THAT bad, and i often find that part of criticism exhagerated. i absolutely adore this age of disney where they were actually taking risks with concepts and plots, even if ultimately commercially they may have not been the most profitable.
You say you've LOTR? Then I highly recommend reading the books and comparing it to the movies. By the way, I love LOTR and the Hobbit. They're great stories that Tolkien wrote.
There was a ride that was Based off this Movie at Animal Kingdom in Disney World Disney Fans. What is your Favorite ride at Walt Disney World. Mine is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
You know, this film is overlooked and skipped quite a bit for a few reasons. The biggest reason is that it has too many similarities to Universal's The Land Before Time, both in setting and in plot (both involve a journey to a green valley).
3:06 It was also Disney's first original 3D animated movie (five years after Pixar). Still, quite an odd choice to blend prehistoric CG creatures into real live action backdrops, instead of making it all 3D.🤔🦕🦖
Fun fact: This came out a few months after Walking with Dinosaurs, an infinitely better series that also featured cgi dinosaurs on real life backgrounds.
Fun fact, the horned theropod dinosaurs, the carnotaurus, are way bigger than their live counterparts, irl carnotaurus were size of an bigger elephant, here? They were size of an trex
Have you seen Space King by Flashgitz yet? That is one independent animation I highly recommend. I would love to see a reaction to and review for Space King in the near future. Praise be to Space King!
If I had a nickle for every time the decline of a Disney studio is marked by the release of a dinosaur related film, I'd have 2 nickles. And well you know the rest
I like 2000s and late 90s CGI WAY more than current life like graphics. Just like Pixel art and Low Poly, despite being born from limitations PS2 and 3 level rendering of the real world has evolved into its own art style.
25:31 it'd be better looking if it sported a smooth plumage of feathers all over it's body & wing feathers it's shoulders to the tip of the middle finger
Okay so in fairness I don't know if you go over this in the full video, but like - while the compositing is seriously janky and aged pretty weirdly, I watched this the other day and was still so blown away by the animation itself. Like the character stuff is good as always...but also the jiggly fleshy fat bits, and there's no way that I can say that without sounding weird. But like case in point - Kron is powerful, Bruton is fat. When they're yelling at the carnotaur, their faces stretch and ripple. Like it's good stuff, though probably would fit in a lot better with that Lion King remake tech.
I had the toy of the baby dinosaur that could hatch out of the egg. For a few months it was the coolest toy I had, but then I lost interest in the film and the toy.
pls watch and review godzilla x kong the new empire next, i haven't watched it yet so im curious to see your thoughts on it, so far the reviews dont seem too good so beware...
8:50 wtf is happening? This clip being cut out on its own with no context is so confusing, this is supposed to be like an alternate ending? But you only show two seconds of it and talk over the dialogue so I have no idea what you're even reacting to here 😂
The raptors were actually originally going to have feathers! The concept art and storyboards show them as feathery, but they were kept scaly in the final movie for practical time/budget concerns (scales are a lot easier to render than feathers)
I loved this movie as a kid, and to this day I find this a comforting movie!
Zoboomafoo is an absolute classic! I just love how that show came to mind!
1:43 used to terrify me as a kid. Now I just find it hilarious as an adult. 🤣
Also rest in peace to Jovian the lemur who played the live action scenes of Zaboomafoo. He will be missed. 😔
Zoboomafoo was awesome! Loved watching it as a little kid! ^^
I grew up LOVING Dinosaur! It was one of my favorites that just FUELED my Dinosaur hyperfixation growing up
“The two Aladars.”
The two Iguanodons.
Their proportions actually seem to match Mantellisaurus, which, to be fair, was only considered its own taxon separate from Iguanadon some time after this movie came out.
Suri says “look at all the Aladar’s” funnily enough.
The hair simulation in this movie was a stepping stone for more modern movies. The raptors were somewhat accurate, but they still did the pronated wrists that was impossible for the actual animal.
0:25 fun fact, the egg stealing dinosaur was based on a fossil of a dinosaur found near some eggs. While it was originally assumed it died trying to eat them, it is now understood that it died in its own nest as those eggs were of its own kind.

Take Baby Yinliang: an oviraptorid who was discovered inside her egg. She was days from hatching, and from her we got a better idea of how dinosaurs developed.
Duuuude this movie was my entire CHILDHOOD. I'm pretty sure this and Jurassic Park are the reason I still love prehistoric animals to this day.
This had to be one of my favorite movies of all time. Disney didn't bother to kid-ify it because they wanted to make it how it was supposed to be. Herbivores live normally while carnivores constantly hunt them. Pretty much, this is Disney's version of Primal, but more aimed for a family audience. Overall, it was amazing and dark.
The day they streamed this: “Yay It’s Baltimore!”
The day this was posted to RUclips: “*Oooof* Saber you shouldn’t talk about that now.”
that wall fell the same.

Please watch Brother Bear 🐻 It's the definition of underrated.
I agree!!
didn’t they watch it?
I remember that the DVD commentary was actually an MST3K-style riffing by the moose bros XD
The moose commentary is the best version of Brother Bear.
Yes such a classic!
Hey! They put the some deleted scenes in the video like I mentioned in the stream

This movie is one of my childhood favorites. Happy to see it get some attention
I have literally never heard of Zoboomafoo... yet my brain also says there's something familiar about it.
….some fond childhood memories of this, but the fact this movie is the reason Atlantis couldn’t truly spread its wings is such a crying shame.
I watched this in elementary school at a special eds class. Yeah, so what if I have autism. I wouldn't be me without it.
i love that they made Dinosaur and then later made The Good Dinosaur, like, as a dig at themself or something
I was 7 when this came out in cinemas, absolutely loved it! We went to Maccas afterwards and they had the toys which my siblings and I then used to recreated the desert scenes in the sand pit
Even today at 26 years old this will always be my favorite dinosaur movie I do wish they would bring back this type of animation and sound effects
I'll be 29 next month. This movie, Fantasia, and the Land Before Time series sparked my love for dinosaurs. Currently I'm saving up to study paleontology
Still my favorite movie to this day and I'm not ashamed of it
I still like this movie. 6.5/10 for me.
Also, I love the fact that the herd banding together works, and I also love Aladar's bellow.
I preferred The Rite of Spring segment from Fantasia over Dinosaur.
At least it was to see dinosaurs didn't talk in the movie and this came out 60 years before Dinosaur.

Disney Fans. What is your Favorite ride at Walt Disney World. Mine is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Saberspark Zaboomafoo liker confirmed lets goooooooo
sucks it was a 10 min video and not 30 also its a great movie and has aged well and grew up watching it and love it
This is one of my favorites
6:35 Did not age well Saber, and I know this was streamed weeks ago.
You know, this film is overlooked and skipped quite a bit for a few reasons. The biggest reason is that it has too many similarities to Universal's The Land Before Time, both in setting and in plot (both involve a journey to a green valley).

HELL YES MY FUCKING FAVORITE DINOSAUR MOVIE !!! Also please watch Brother Bear I will be there!!!
Fun fact: This came out a few months after Walking with Dinosaurs, an infinitely better series that also featured cgi dinosaurs on real life backgrounds.
I still find it weird that almost every carnivore in every dinosaur movie can’t speak
Do a "lets watch" of Treasure Planet
Fun fact, the horned theropod dinosaurs, the carnotaurus, are way bigger than their live counterparts, irl carnotaurus were size of an bigger elephant, here? They were size of an trex
I love this movie. It was my childhood
You should watch Watership Down…… it’s pretty exciting
Have you seen Space King by Flashgitz yet?
That is one independent animation I highly recommend. I would love to see a reaction to and review for Space King in the near future.
Praise be to Space King!
Best Disney movie ever
I used to watch this as a kid
Can you guys make a Smash Bros Characters Tier List at some point please?
YES MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!
The first maybe 10 ish minutes of the movie are a great Walking with dinosaurs type short film. Then the rest of the movie happens.
You should watch brother bear it’s really cool (I have the original VHS tape)
I really hope we get a Dinosaur world in a future Kingdom Hearts game. Question is will Sora be a monkey or a dinosaur in it.
No, not ZAMBOOMIFIED WILD KRATTS!
On a scale I give it a 11/14 Land before Time movies
Dino stream I shall always be there 🗿
If I had a nickle for every time the decline of a Disney studio is marked by the release of a dinosaur related film, I'd have 2 nickles. And well you know the rest
This movie was my childhood...
It did not age well💀
I like 2000s and late 90s CGI WAY more than current life like graphics. Just like Pixel art and Low Poly, despite being born from limitations PS2 and 3 level rendering of the real world has evolved into its own art style.
@@genyakozlov1316 the CGI isn't that bad. I'm saying everything else didn't age well like the fact they talk.
Awesome
25:31 it'd be better looking if it sported a smooth plumage of feathers all over it's body & wing feathers it's shoulders to the tip of the middle finger

Like it's good stuff, though probably would fit in a lot better with that Lion King remake tech.
WERE THE FIRST TO BE HERE!!!!!
Like I have said before: anyone who thinks THIS movie is bad needs to watch Walking With Dinosaurs: The Movie.
I had the toy of the baby dinosaur that could hatch out of the egg. For a few months it was the coolest toy I had, but then I lost interest in the film and the toy.
Please watch Wings and The Giant King
Dinosaur movie has grass in it, sigh
love this movie, too bad it got edited on D+ to not have the baby pee on monkey dad at the beginning but have the new baby pee on aladar at the end
pls watch and review godzilla x kong the new empire next, i haven't watched it yet so im curious to see your thoughts on it, so far the reviews dont seem too good so beware...
thats if you can even watch it on the channel cuz of copyright.
Too spicy 4 utube😒
8:50 wtf is happening? This clip being cut out on its own with no context is so confusing, this is supposed to be like an alternate ending? But you only show two seconds of it and talk over the dialogue so I have no idea what you're even reacting to here 😂
Day 69 of asking to watch space dogs (2010)
4:19 This film was from the time when none of the dinosaurs were believed to have feathers on them (expect Archaeopteryx, "the first bird").🤔🦖🪶
