Goofs:
Factual errors: The dinosaurs existed in three different periods: Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. However, all the dinosaurs who appeared in this movie did not all exist in the same period. Triceratops, Parasaurolophus and Tyranosaurus were Cretaceous dinosaurs, while Brontosaurus and Stegosaurus were Jurassic dinosaurs, and Pterodactyl existed in both the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods.

I've adored this film ever since I first saw it at the cinema in '88. Sweet Littlefoot, Bold Cera, Chatty Ducky, Timid Petrie & Greedy Spike are the cutest dinosaurs ever. Anyone unmoved by their adventures must have a heart of stone. The animation is superb and so is the soundtrack. Each dinosaur has a distinctive personality and you laugh and cry with them throughout. I only wish the film had been longer. The sequels are cute but it is the original that has the most heart. 10/10
