Critic Reviews

Dinosaur, although still impressive, just misses being a great, truly revolutionary film.

-Joe BaltakeFull Review

You begin to get used to the film's pictorial wondrousness -- to take it for granted, even -- and start to realize that the characters and story are exceedingly mundane, unsurprising and pre-programmed.

-Todd McCarthyFull Review

Dinosaur cuts a bland, compliant figure, its narrative and characterizations subservient to splashy feats of CGI legerdemain.

-Jessica WinterFull Review

One Dinosaur that won't soon be forgotten.

-Bruce Newman

Offers $200 million in special effects and a script worth about 2 cents. Still, that won't bother the picture's target audience.

-Eleanor Ringel GillespieFull Review

Commendable weekend fare for the small fry.

-Peter HowellFull Review

If studios are going to be paying out hundreds of millions of dollars for these films, shouldn't some of that money go to writers whose imaginations match the visuals?

-Peter RainerFull Review

For a story that takes place some 65 million years ago, Dinosaur is awfully reliant on recent recycled parts.

-Mark Caro

A certified wonder.

-Terry Lawson

Technical innovations notwithstanding, it''s basically a well-made kiddie flick.

-Jay Boyar

I enjoyed the movie as sheer visual spectacle

-Roger EbertFull Review

Dinosaur astonishes and disheartens as only the most elaborate, most ambitious Hollywood products can.

-Kenneth Turan

A must-see for anyone who wants to see the next stage in computer-generated animation.

-Sean Means

It wouldn't have hurt to spend some of that money to tell a story as original as the movie's design -- though I'm sure I speak for millions in thanking Disney for not including any stupid songs.

-Gene Seymour

One thing is certain: Disney has thrown down the gauntlet to the wave of animated competition coming this summer.

-Nancy ChurninFull Review

Pure Disney formula.

-Kevin Maynard

Even though the traditional aspects of cinema are lacking, it's hard not to be impressed by the package as a whole.

-James BerardinelliFull Review

A feast for the eyes but a rather routine entry in the respectable folio of great Disney animated movies.

-Peter StackFull Review

The picture is a dazzler.

-Robert Horton

This groundbreaking movie is nothing short of a visual miracle.

-Susan StarkFull Review

The experience is as luxuriant and intoxicating as a theme park ride; more remarkably, it feels like a real movie.

-A.O. ScottFull Review

Well, Bambi meets Godzilla again in the new computer-cartoon epic Dinosaur, but the results aren't so witty.

-Michael SragowFull Review

The plot couldn't be more stale if it wafted from a sarcophagus.

-Bruce WestbrookFull Review

Dinosaur is a fable, and a hugely and sometimes wondrously watchable one, even if its emotions retreat to certain levels of programmed predictability as the film proceeds.

-Jay Carr

A serenely pleasing kiddie movie that invites little ones to sink into their dinosaur dreams.

-Owen GleibermanFull Review

If storytelling is the creative equivalent of water, I should point out it's no surprise these dinosaurs find themselves trekking over endless expanses of dusty, dry terrain.

-Desson ThomsonFull Review

A visual breakthrough in realistic computer animation that should delight kids -- and adults, at least for the first half-hour.

-Lou Lumenick

Once you get over the 'ooh-ah' factor and tuck into the ultraformulaic tale, Dinosaur is a dino-snore.

-Susan Wloszczyna

If the devil is in the details, then this is one devilishly delightful film.
