    The animation was state-of-the-art in 2000 and is still fantastically impressive today. I remember seeing the extended trailer on the big screen, but have only just gotten around to watching the whole film. It really is breathtaking at the beginning, but unfortunately, the creatu...( read more)res then begin talking. Both this and Land Before Time, were originally conceived as having no dialogue, but this soon changed. The dialogue is pretty poor, and quite annoying when you see prehistoric lemurs working on their chat-up lines. It's a simple, but decent enough story and has enough action to keep one entertained. See it as a demonstration of glorious animation, even if the lemurs fur proves a tad more troublesome than the lizard's skin.

    Don't remember this too well, but I remember it was cute and fun. Jurassic Park for little kids. I actually own this, but have only watched it the one time. It seems that there is always something better to watch. I can't even remember who does the voices.

    Family and grandparent film....

    This is a beautifully made movie. It is disappointing that the story is basically ripped from The Land Before Time, but the 3D animation is sublime. It has been wonderfully directed and the voice casting was exceptional, especially Della Reese as Eema. This is a truly inspiration...( read more)al family film, the kind of movie we have come to expect from Disney.

    Mesmerizing computerized animation and a great musical score make of this non-Pixar animated film an emotional underrated feast for the senses that drags just occasionally, extreme entertainment guaranteed.

    56/100
