"Since the strategic resurgence of Disney’s animated films in 1988, the studio’s annual releases have been riding a 12-year winning streak that hits with fans and critics nearly every time." more... |

(3 out of 5 stars) "Can Disney's most ambitious computer animated movie ever survive the onslaught of the summer?" more... |

"The imagery in 'Dinosaur" may be 21st-Century CGI, but the plot is strictly Disney Standard 101... 'Dinosaur' is a rich visual feast, but its simplistic story outweighs its technical brilliance." more... |

(grade: C+) "Their journey through the barren desert...is a story as old as, well, fossils, but the little ones will like it anyway." more... |

(2.5 out of 5 stars) "Kids will probably enjoy the film since it lets them see dinosaurs as heroes of the past." more... |

"Disney is well known for playing fast and loose with history in its recent animated films, but this is ridiculous." more... |

"As a critic, it's gotten increasingly difficult to write anything interesting about the barrage of effects-driven blockbusters that get crammed down our throats every summer." more... |
| Harvey's Movie Reviews |
"...not a film that even children will remember." more... |

(5 out of 10) " Every time Walt Disney puts out an animated feature, it's hard not to get excited." more... |
| James Berardinelli |
(3 out of 4 stars) "Like so many big summer extravaganzas, this is a classic example of the triumph of style over substance." more... |
| Orlando Weekly Movies: Mighty Footsteps |
(4 out of 5 stars) "The stats on the making of 'Dinosaur,' a groundbreaking Disney family film that blends computer-animated critters with live-action photography and special effects, are so mind-boggling that they're worth chewing on for a while." more... |
| PopMatters: Cretaceous Calamity |
"The movie certainly doesn't devote much screen time to the dinosaurs' long-term fate, instead being content to follow along as Aladar tries to get laid without getting eaten -- you know, the way we all do." more... |
| Salon |
"This film isn't cut-to-the-chase: It's cut-to-the-trek." more... |
| Spliced Online: Fossilized Formula |
"Beyond astounding visuals, 'Dinosaur' is the same tired story Disney tells every summer." more... |

(2 stars) "It's dificult to imagine just what the pitch meeting must've been like ('It'll be like "Jurassic Park" meets "The Trail of Tears!"') for 'Dinosaur,' but that's the question that came to mind while watching this depressing tale of extinction and hardship." more... |
| Variety |
"...Disney’s summer heavyweight has an almost grotesquely touchy-feely take on prehistoric life, one that will please vegans and compassionate anti-Darwinians more than it will cinematic carnivores looking for some dramatic meat." more... |
| Village Voice: Beasts and Beefcake |
"...amounts to 80 minutes of discouraged Cretaceous trudging, punctuated by the occasional fight or stampede and one pyrotechnic coup: a truly thrilling meteor shower." more... |
