Review of Dinosaur

Dinosaur (2000)
7/10
Breathtaking, realistic animation, beautiful backgrounds, no plot
9 June 2000
I was fortunate enough to see an exclusive preview of this film, not yet released in Australia. The producer Pam Marsden was there for the presentation too. AFter the showing she told the audience about the making and the lengths the computer animators went through to get realism into the characters and scenes. So, obviously, the movie should appeal to anyone who is interested in computer animation and/or filmmaking. By the end of the film I was still dazzled by the beautiful animation (especially the fur on the leemurs) but left thinking that the plot could've fitted into 30 minutes. Of course the story is made so children will understand, but thinking to the last Disney movie I saw (Tarzan), it had a lot more substance, humour, and fun which "Dinosaur" just didn't. On another note, the music for "Dinosaur" is quite good and interesting in that there aren't any lyrics or a famous voice behind it.
