This is the story of Aladar (D.B. Sweeney), an iguanodon dinosaur raised by a family of lemurs. Their world is turned upside-down however, when meteors strike, turning their green world into a desert wasteland. Teaming up with a herd of other herbivores, the trek is on to find the "Nesting Ground" where water and vegetation is bountiful... but with carnivores behind them and nothing but desert around for miles, it doesn't look promising!

Critics Consensus

While Dinosaur's plot is generic and dull, its stunning computer animation and detailed backgrounds are enough to make it worth a look.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Stunning, but can be dark and scary in places. Rated: 3/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Wally Hammond Time Out Aurally and visually this creature feature is a treat. Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Leslie Felperin Sight & Sound Sadly, there is little sign of the benefits of evolution in the storytelling itself, which sticks too closely to a narrative template seemingly dating back to the Mesolithic era. Dec 2, 2002 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn Dinosaur is a surprisingly strong effort, even in the face of the limitations by the technology the film is using. Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net Almost unwatchable. Rated: F May 7, 2019 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy When you have spent $200 million on "the dumber version of The Land Before Time", you deserve everything that comes to you. Rated: 4/10 Nov 15, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Thomas R One of the weakest movies ever released by Disney. The story, characters, and animation leave a lot to be desired Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Dimitris T The animation's quality, combined with magnificent real life sceneries, is true eye candy, really innovative for the early 2000s. The dialogues however often feel kind of cringy, and so do some particular camera shots of disgusting things or characters doing weird faces. The film is definitely worth a try, but to some people it may feel kind of like a fever dream. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Jack N Animation is fantastic for the time made and is a good movie for young kids interested in dinosaurs, but is not much more than that. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Dan R A great Disney classic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Timur, Chi, T, Samilia, Tangram and Samil M Plot is dull, but the animation is okay Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/24 Full Review Jorge C Canónicamente, esta es la primer película que he visto en mi historia.
