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.

Sometime in the Cretacious Period, the world has gone through many changes which has affected the land in terrible ways. Drought killing all the vegitation and seismic activity destroying the landscape. Its tough but the Dinosaurs... read more

I remember it very well, I saw this movie as a kid in the movie theater when it came out ane, at the time, I was really impressed. At the time, Disney was going through one of their weakest periods and Don Bluth was ruling, for a little while, the animation world. With a lot of nostalgia, I saw it again recently and even though it didn’t really blow me away this time, I thought it was still pret... read more

I am 17, and I absolutely love animation, when it's done right. I love all the Disneys and almost all of the Don Bluth films(though I had mixed feelings about Troll in Central Park and Rock a Doodle Doo), and I will say that this is right up there as one of the best, along with Secret of Nimh, Anastasia and American Tail. This happens to be the first movie that introduced me to dinosaurs. The anim... read more

This happens to be the first movie that introduced me to dinosaurs. The animation and visuals are stunning, a similar style to American Tail and in some way the Rescuers. In terms of colour, it is quite dark, but it does need to be, as it is quite a dark and very poignant film. I realised as I watched it, that the beginning reminded me a bit of the dinosaur segment in Fantasia. The music by James Horner is gorgeous, haunting in some parts, and then so heart-rendingly sad ” read more

You know......for kids! (180 movies items)

"One word, Sharptooth! For a film with cute little dinosaurs, a lot of credit has to be given, for not making the Tyrannosaurus Rex, also cute and cuddly, and making him also a real serious threat, to the cute little dinosaurs. Also, Littlefoot's mom, gets the Bambi treatment, and dies earlier in the film, after being killed by Sharptooth. "
