Trivia:
The attraction called Dinosaur (previously called Countdown to Extinction) at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park was originally to be created/opened at the same time as the movie's release as part of the company's "synchronicity" between branches of the WDC, but due to the overwhelming technology development required to begin production, the film's opening was delayed. Even though it was started after the film was in-production, the theme park ride opened first (by almost 18 months) before the movie's release; hence, the ride's name change later. more
Goofs:

Fun for, well, not quite all of the family..., 6 January 2003
4/10
Author: Spacelamb from Australia

The tag-line for Dinosaur is 'You have never seen anything like this', and it's a fair statement. Dinosaur is stunningly detailed, top-heavy with beautifully framed images and perfectly paced scenes filled with discovery and adventure. It's just a pity I'm not nine years old because I've certainly heard all this before many, many times over. Honestly, surely Disney realize that grown-ups take kids to see these things? It's hard to imagine a more formulaic plot and the dialog and characterization could only be this trite on purpose (maybe someone lost a bet). Kids will love it, and I guess that's the main thing, but it's not hard to see why Pixar has stolen Disney's thunder at the box office.
