With DINOSAUR, Disney breaks a new stride in the technological revolution of computer animation--combining computer-animated characters with digitally enhanced live-action...
more...landscapes. The effect is literally unbelievable and the clarity, realness, and definition of the pictures easily make the once surprising effects of virtual reality seem like the dark ages.
A dinosaur egg is stolen from its nest and passed along by various birds, animals and other predators each hoping to eat it. Fumbled into a community of kind and nurturing lemurs, it cracks open and Aladar, a baby dinosaur emerges. He lives happily and peacefully among the lemurs, who raise him into adolescence. However, when a natural disaster occurs, wiping out the beautiful rainforest that was their home, teenage Aladar joins a dinosaur pilgrimage--and discovers his true ancestry--in order to bring his lemur family to safety. Far sweeter and much more realistic than recent dinosaur movies like JURASSIC PARK or even classics like THE LAND BEFORE TIME, these new digital dinosaurs are surprisingly human with emotional eyes and expressive voices that make the magic nearly tangible.

Full review
Firstly, let me say that navigating through the menus on this disc is like wading through treacle. Everythings nicely presented and the extras are worth the wait...but man is it slow!

I'm talking about the two disc collectors edition here and do not hesitate in saying that you get your moneys worth. OK, so the movie isn't the best in the world, but it's still highly enjoyable and the animation is simply spot on.

Highlights of the movie? The egg travels and the meteor shower. And that little spikey dinosaur that carries a stick in its mouth.

Sound and picture quality are perfect throughout. I saw this at the cinema and remember thinking that the DVD was going to be something special. I for one, was not disappointed and still think this is one of the better discs on the shelf.

The soundtrack is also pretty awesome...turn it up loud for the opening sequence, The Egg Travels.
