    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Initially, Directors Eric Leighton and Ralph Zondag were to use the popular Tyrannosaurus rex as this movie's antagonistic predator, but at around the time of production, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) was released, which depicted a somewhat softer, motherly side to the classic dinosaur. Thus, a Carnotaurus was used. However, they changed the Carnotaurus' size to be even larger than Tyrannosaurus rex, close to 17-18 m long, when real Carnotaurus were only 8-9 m in length, about the same size or even smaller then the film's hero Aladar.
    • Goofs
      There are many other inconsistencies between the fictional representation of dinosaurs in the movie and accepted scientific knowledge at the time the movie was made. It should, perhaps, be remembered that it's family entertainment, not a documentary.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Plio: Some things start out big, and some things start out small, very small. But sometimes the smallest thing can make the biggest changes of all.

    • Crazy credits
      The film opens without any opening credits, which other than the production logo and the title of the film.
    • Alternate versions
      The original print included a song by Kate Bush, but this was cut after unfavorable response from preview audiences.

    Another Advancement In Animation
    This was yet another example, when it came out in 2000, of the latest strides being made in animation, computer-or-otherwise. At the time, I thought to myself, "Man, this just gets better and better all the time." Six years later, I am still saying that but with newer animated efforts.

    Some of the scenes in here look so real you wouldn't know they were drawings. The colors are particularly good in the opening minutes. They are just stunning at times.

    The story is pretty interesting, too. It's not great, but not boring, either, and not too kid-oriented. Adults can enjoy this. In fact, I was surprised at the amount of violence. That, and some of the jokes actually make this more for adults than kids in many spots.

    I recommend the movie for its story and innovative techniques.
