Trivia

Character designer David Krentz is a big name in dinosaur modeling. He has also worked as the lead character designer and dino-sculptor in Disney's Dinosaur (2000) and the Discovery Channel's Dinosaur Revolution (2011). Interestingly, those projects have met a similar fate as this movie, as they were likewise originally meant to be silent productions with the animals' actions telling the stories, but were later given intrusive voices or narration at the request of the executives.

Goofs

User Reviews

Kids liked it and I liked the break it gave me

The film Walking with Dinosaurs has tremendous potential. It tells the story of Patchi (Justin Long) a Pachyrhinosaurus as he struggles to make his way in the dinosaur world. Patchi is brave and kind and despite being the runt of the litter has an incredible knack of survival in an extremely treacherous environment. The digital animation for this film is second to none and the dinosaurs are literally brought to life right in front of the screen. We saw it in 2d and it did not make much difference. My two and four year old loved it and I think a little boy obsessed with dinosaurs would love it even more. I was a little disappointed with the script finding it clichéd and predictable at times. Some stories lacked development but it did give me an hour and a half of rest whilst my girls sat enthralled. It's not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
