Words can't express how integral this film was to my life growing up. It cannot, will not and won't be replace as one of those films I'll always remember.

This film was one of my childhood favorites, a film about a group of child Dinosaurs separated from their parents and forced to get along despite their racial/species' differences. It has some classic scenes and brilliant moments, one or two scenes still bring a tear to my eye to this very day. There is a lot of fantasy in this film but also a lot of values and lessons to be learned from that all children should appreciate. If you never saw this film growing up, i think you could still watch it and see what i mean when i say classic, its much like American Tale in that all children should watch it because it was made with real class. Sadly it has been milked with over 12 sequels since, but this one is the one you need to watch.
