Everything Wrong With Dinosaur in 17 Minutes or Less

[@Igorcastrochucre]

The Carnosaur is portrayed as mindless, but it is very much aware that if it gets into a fight with a pack, it will get killed or heavily injured. The way it pounced when spotted a loose dino and went after it, separating it from the group is probably the most accurate any movie ever got when it comes to carnivores hunting. It's more mind games, intimidation tactics and weighing of options than actual fighting.

[@spikysmoothness]

Carnivores have to risk their lives to get something to eat if they can't get a quick and easy kill, so it is a very accurate portrayal indeed! And I don't mean they'll get killed in a fight with their prey, more so that almost any injury would spell death later on as it would hinder their hunting capabilities and maybe even make THEM an easy kill for something else.

[@Josh729J]

Predators are smarter than prey because of what you just said so i agree its weird they portrayed him as mindless.

[@cintronproductions9430]

IKR? Despite being the antagonists, the Carnotaurs aren't portrayed as bloodthirsty rampaging monsters, at first the pair are simply trailing the herd, only eating those that wander away from the herd or those that collapse from exhaustion, such as the dead Stygimoloch, and when Bruton causes a cave-in and takes one of the Carnotaurs down with him, the surviving one (who I guess is the male) leaves immediately instead of trying to break through the rocks to get to Aladar's gang. And later in the gorge, the Carnotaur initially rushes in to try and spook the herd into scattering so that he can pick off the stragglers, but he wisely backs off when the herd stands together, only for him to go after the lone Kron, who is much easier prey. In other words, the Carnotaurs in this movie are extremely realistic predators, so kudos to the writers.

[@clarklaw6416]

Do you think a Carontaurus or even t-rex would retreat like that, realistically? Like even if it didn't see a lone prey it oculd go after instead, would the pack be enough to make it retreat?

[@feyefall4855]

@@clarklaw6416 Yes, defensive prey animals, especially herd animals, can be vicious and spiteful. I believe it's water buffalo that will actively trample threats and even dip into tall grass to ambush them. Also as mentioned in another comment, it doesn't take a dramatic injury to reduce a predator's chance of future feeding and by extent survival. Not provoking the herd is the choice for anything smart enough to have made it to adulthood.

[@DH-xw6jp]

The "dig up water from a dry lake/stream bed" is actually 100% a real thing. If you are in a dry stream bed you want to try and find a bend in it's course, you will dig on the _outside edge_ of the bend and preferably under a shady spot if there are nearby trees. That will give you the best chance of finding water if there is no clean standing water source avalible. (Obviously purify it if you have the means to do so)

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

That's precisely why animals like elephants dig up the soil in dried out river beds during the Dry Season, because there's usually still some groundwater/wet soil below, esp in spots where plants grow that are still green.

I remember having the film on VHS (I also remember that the opening sequence was included as a trailer on the Tarzan VHS), and then watched it again a couple of years ago. I like the film well enough. The CGI for the dinosaurs still holds up: it still looks impressive, and the combination of highly detailed CGI with live-footage makes the dinosaurs look realistic for the setting. Also, how can you forget the soundtrack? The music that plays during the opening sequence is great.

[@nignamedmutt7270]

This was one of the first dvd's i got as a kid way back when it came out. I actually just watched it on Netflix a month ago just to see how terrible it was lol The thing that drove me FUCKING INSANE though was the main menu. Everytime you changed (from scene selection, to settings, to the stupid game that came with the disc that you could play on the DVD player) panels in the menu, it would play this overly long dramatic cinematic of the carnataurs chasing a smaller dinosaur, crashing the next off eggs(EXCEPT FOR 1 EGG!!!! 1 EGG BARELY MISSES THEIR CLAWS AND LIVES TOCTELL THE TALE!!!!) Before the menu actually shows up and let's you select anything. I'm pretty sure the cinematic is like 20 seconds in length, and the volume is WAY louder than anything else on the disc.

[@ThePartyPrimate]

[@harrisondansie9542]

I loved this movie growing up as a kid! The carnotaurs were the scariest Disney villains ever in my mind for a long time. Nice to see it getting some attention.

[@chibigirl8545]

My sister used to read Steven King as an elementary student (she wasn't allowed to have the books, so that made them all the more interesting to her) and was quickly desensitized to horror movies and such. In her opinion, the scariest monsters were the ones that couldn't talk or be reasoned with because there was no way to escape them. I disagreed with them being scarier (not about them wrecking you) and basically said what Chris did about them being driven by their nature (werewolves can't help it similar to a carnivore). I thought monsters that could talk were a lot scarier, because it's not JUST following its nature, it's actively deceiving/luring/trapping you. It KNOWS you're a sentient being and still enjoys toying with it's prey.

I always wondered why almost everybody assumes it would be the big, dinosaur ending one. As if there would have been no smaller impacts during several hundred millions of years, maybe similar in scale to the 1908 Tunguska one.

[@InkGraffiti]

It's still more than big enough to have killed all the dinosaurs we see in the movie though. Quite a few of the 'small' meteors are bigger than an iguanodon ..and for reference, you are just a little bit bigger than an iguanodon's HEAD. ALL of those meteors were MASSIVE and would have caused WAY more destruction than we see in the movie

[@sifamon3876]

It's never stated that the meteor in the movie is the extinction level event we're all somewhat familiar with. This meteor seems to be a localized event, and with no where near the same impact. Also, the ticking clock is the herd, dehydrated and starving to death. The "villain" is actually a good leader, not a likable one, but he can't allow the weak and elderly to determine their pace. Aladar is unique in that he seems to possess a moral compass common to humans, unlike Kron, who naturally behaves more like an actual animal would. He does what he has to in order for the herd to survive, and if the weak few slow down predators, then their sacrifice is, to him, justified.

[@gabrielbastos18]

To be fair, that meteor is probably not supposed to be the same one that killed the dinosaurs, seeing as there is a Brachiosaurus which lived only during the Jurassic and the Iguanodon became extinct during the Early Cretaceous - so you could argue that the sun wasn't blocked by dust particles because this meteor wasn't as big, so its impact was less severe. And the reason why the raptors and Carnotaurus don't speak might be because Disney went the same route as The Land Before Time: herbivores have one universal language and carnivores have another language.

That's because "family movies" aimed at kids, most generic action movies, crime/detective/cop shows, romantic comedies etc follow cookie-cutter tropes and clichés. Tropes in itself are not bad... they're the base stones of storytelling, and they help the audience (esp small kids) to identify who a character is, esp in cartoons/animations where each character in a group fills a certain role (the leader, the mentor, the rebel, the nurturing protector, the crazy/goofy one for comedy relief, the grumpy one with the heart of gold, etc).

At least with Dinosaur they had time to reanimate and make the characters actually look like they’re talking. Walking With Dinosaurs literally just edited voices over pre-existing footage making it feel like a really bad fan abridged dub

I'm so glad you guys sinned this film! I remember loving this movie as a kid, but kinda forgot it existed. Now as a jaded adult the "animals talking and acting like people" gimmick has me grimacing, but I still think the movie holds up well in story and animation. The animation is stellar; I was ignorant of the "live action" film technique that you describe. Either way, if the movie WAS made by compositing CGI onto live action background plates, it's still a seamless visual experience to me.

Growing up, I always thought this movie was the best (maybe cause it had dinosaurs as the stars), when I got older I realized its only just good.

I do have a theory as to why the carnivores don't speak like the other dinosaurs. Basically it all comes down to perspective. You typically wouldn't talk to your dinner, nor would you care if it talked back since that meal is the only thing keeping you alive in the harsh life of a predator.

I miss watching these as a Kid and it's great that since I still have a lot of my Old Movies, my Kids also get to enjoy them now as well. But honestly watching them now, as an Adult... I'm realizing that there's a lot of pretty messed up Things that happen in these seemingly "Innocent" movies. Some of these examples I just enjoy(ed) as a Child and some are examples of Messed up Things I've never noticed before until recently. (Recently = Past 5 Years or less.) *Land Before Time* , which is basically just a Story of Herbivore Dinosaur "Kids" finding and eventually befriending a Carnivorous Dinosaur "Kid" that they deem the Name "Sharp-Tooth" to. They then spend the rest of the Time trying to find ways to prevent their New Friend from eventually & Inevitably Mur*ering them Brutally by Mauling and Maiming them until they Forever Sleep... *Franklin the Turtle* , with the Nerdy Turtle who would've never made it through the Likes of High School in Reality. The Two Most Ingeniously Genius Lab Rats of all Time: *Pinky & the Brain!* Kinda Self Explanatory with them being Experimental Lab Rats. *WishBone the Dog.* Who apparently either had Telepathic Abilities, often speaking to the Audience via his Mind. OR We OURSELVES were literally, actually inside the Dog's Mind, able to Hear, Translate, & Understand everything He's "Saying" or Thinking to Himself and about Others... Which is a Total Invasion of Privacy and a Complete MindF*ck in the very least tbh. 🤔 *The Gargoyles* Cartoon, with the different Colored Gargoyles who unfortunately turned to Stone wherever they happened to be Standing whenever the Sun rose. So they always had to make sure that they made it back to their Respective Posts on their Buildings/Structures or they would be Vulnerable and easily Destroyed by their Enemies as Stone Statues. *Homeward Bound:* With the Three Runaway Pets that made it back Home again, despite all the Odds being stacked against them. Shadow (The Golden Retriever), Chance (The Pitt Bull), and Sassy.(The Cat). And I'm sure there's a lot more but this Comment is already Two Commas Short of a Harry Potter Book, so I'm just going to leave it at those and let all y'all take it from Here! 👋🏻😉

5:13 "Ah yes, Iguanadons, like most dinosaurs: known for their incredible swimming ability." I hate to be an absolute dick, and spoil your fun (really sorry) but actually, yes, a recent study showed that most dinosaurs including large sauropods, hadrosaurs, t. rex, and some ankiylosaurs (I'd guess iguanadon are among those dinosaurs) were relatively good swimmers, of course not all dinosaurs and I could be wrong in any of them because I didn't read the paper, but I'm 99% Iguanadons were good swimmers, the sin count shuld decrease 1 (I think)

Well they might have thought it was because of stylistic choices (iguanadons don’t look like that, lemurs face is to human, etc.) plus Dino recreations change frequently according to the science of the time.

[@trikeonabike4949]

@@jon83chewy I remember reading Disney said the mammal that did exist in this time wasn't "marketable enough", hence the use of lemurs; which didn't exist until 5 million years AFTER the dinosaurs. Yet, we're talking about a company that made everything from talking candles to cups marketable lol.

[@pressftopayrespects6325]

This could’ve been a film about literally any ecosystem, dinosaurs just stuck because it would make an interested audience than the same message but say in Antarctica or other films had already made something similar. If this film was by any metric accurate, Carnotaurus wouldn’t have been an animal in this film, probably Baryonyx or some other theropod that lived alongside Iguanodons, not an abelisaurid that lived half the world away and not really in the same time period IIRC.

Assuming this is set at the end of the Cretaceous period then the only dinosaur I know for certain that should have been present was the ankylosaurus. All the other dinosaurs either went extinct earlier in the Cretaceous period like the iguanodon and the Carnotaurus or during the Jurassic period such as with brachiosaurus. And Archaeolemur turned up long after the dinosaurs died out.

[@OkeanosZT2]

Carnotaurus went extinct at some point in the Maastrichtian though, we know it was around at about 69 million years ago and it's not a stretch that it made it to the K-Pg extinction three million years later (66 Ma). As for members of the herd, it's a similar story for Pachyrhinosaurus (known to still be kicking at 68 Ma at least) and both Struthiomimus and Stygimoloch (or Pachycephalosaurus spinifer / wyomingensis if you prefer) made it to the very end of the Cretaceous. You are right that there's a ton of anachronisms in the film, just wanted to point out there were a couple more than just Ankylosaurus from the end Maastrichtian! Even then, you have the spatial issue to think about, with Carno in South America and Pachyrhinosaurus further north than Anky / Struth / Stygi...
