Disney's Dinosaur (2000) Accuracy Review

Dinosaur came out 24 years ago and has maintained a following since then with its memorable CGI depictions of dinosaurs new and old. How well does this animation hold up scientifically 24 years later? #paleontology #dinosaurs #dinosaur

[@alielsakkout7415]

hard to animate but above all super expensive and therefore not profitable

[@Genubath1]

Dinosaur was the very first 3d animated movie by Walt Disney Feature Animation (Pixar had already done a few by then). The technology to animate hair and other stuff like that was cutting edge and very expensive at the time. It would take months to compute the final render of a movie at the time. Pixar created a tool called Fizt for Monsters Inc to automate the animation of hair instead of having to arrange every single hair. They still use it today for hair and cloth animation.

[@revol2933]

In defense of Kron's & Bruton's unique physical features: there're are animal species in which males have certain characteristics that can be either developed or not. The best example are orangutans with their big, meaty cheeks. When males mature they can "choose" to grow these cheeks to show that they're dominant males - or not grow them, and then they look pretty much like females. Maybe here it's a similar thing - since Kron and Bruton are dominant males with high levels of testosterone, it might be the reason why they developed nose crests, larger frame, humps and back spikes - while Aladar lived his entire life with lemurs, so he never had the need to develop these features of a dominant male (no interspecies combat, no need to fight for females etc). That's just how I see it. (Ps. Sorry for grammar. English is not my first language - but paleontology is my first love. Haha)

[@calebbusing6171]

That’s a good theory

[@katyungodly]

Your English typing is better than most native speakers' typing, good job

[@Wandervenn]

This was my theory as well

[@penquinzz9044]

It’s a good theory in premise but the evolutionary traits of the male species wouldn’t be held back on one individual just because he happened to grow up in an environment where those features weren’t necessary - that’s not how evolution really works: it’s more so in a collective sense when an entire species develops a need to acquire a new trait to adapt and push the entire species forward (Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium). It’s possible that he may have lacked the development of these features because of genetic defects or something along those lines, though.

[@NolanDraconis]

The two Carnotaurus’ are male and female, with the bigger surviving one (till the end) being named Brutus in the script, he also appears at the beginning of the story.

[@Greenthero]

@@Greenthero I'll use Komodo Dragons and Crocodiles as examples. They all "look the same" right? Having minimal sexual dimorphism between the two sexes and all sharing distinct crocodile or komodo dragon characteristics. But no individual croc or dragon is an exact copy of the other. They still have individuals with their own personality preferences and variations in physical size and features.

[@Cryptic-Cryo]

Some notes about some of the dinosaur designs. Earl the anky is actually a Euplocepholus, as confirmed by the lead dinosaur designer in the special features. That said, he still doesn’t look like one that much. The mini ceratopsians are called microcerotops in tie in books and the special features. If you’re a nerd of palaeontology, know it’s now call microceratus. This goes the same to the pteranodon where this particular species is now called Geosternbergia. Of course, that’s still debated if it should be a unique genus. While not scientifically plausible, it’s possible Kron and Brutons nasal designs are based on the first depictions of iguanodon.

[@chubibi06]

"younger depiction are too frail and hornless ! They'll never make it" Bruton, to Kron

[@mitchellulrich930]

Url wasn't the only ankylosaur in the film. There were 2 Talarurus in the beginning as the egg was passing by.

[@oshkeet]

Thinking about it this makes a lot more sense. Its like you if took the Crystal Palace depiction directly and tried to "modernize it" to be more dinosaur-like without actually knowing what Iguanodon should look like.

[@eduardusk5808]

​@chubibi06 I like this, is a more meta interpretation. Kron and Bruton have older designs that would be easier to intimidate other iguanodons and make them leaders.

[@AnimeRyker2001]

As for Baylene, I think there was a strange thing going on in the 1990's and early 2000's where its believed that Brachiosaurus (or a creature that was similar to brachiosaurus) lived for a few million years into the Creataceous, but not very long. As for the extinction of Baylenes species, most likely Baylene hasnt found any other Brachiosaurs, so without any way to find out its probably likely she believes she is truely the last of her kind. Another possibility is that the Carnotaurs have practically hunted them down. Baylene seems very afraid of the Carnotaurs, specifically pairs as she points out in the movie how 2 Carnotaurs would be significantly worse than 1, which, while true, she freaks out the most after saying it. This wouldnt make much sense, even with the oversized carnos, but it must be the case, why else would Baylene (while old, shes still huge and strong as we see in the cave scene) be afraid of creatures that much less than half her size. Most Likely Carnotaurs around the continent eventually became more confident, or found a near foolproof strategy to bring down Brachiosaurs.

[@toonrex2806]

My theory is that Url the Ankylosaur is disabled.

My stance is, when something is made for entertainment, I don’t care about palae-accuracy, when I watch things like Disney’s Dinosaur, Jurassic Park, King Kong, Primeval, Dinosaur King etc all I want are cool visually appealing distinct designs with verisimilitude. I’ll criticise a bad design for being either ugly, messy, not really resembling the animal it’s meant to be etc but accuracy isn’t a factor, if I want that, I’ll watch a documentary.

I mean, there should be a baseline minimum accuracy so you can at least tell what the animal is supposed to be

[@insectilluminatigetshrekt5574]

@SmashBrosAssemble it depends on what kind of movie/show it is. I think there are some fictional plots that would require accurate dinosaurs. Like if it's supposed to be a realistic fiction kind of thing of what would dinosaurs in captivity actually be like. By the way, almost all dinosaur movies up to and including the first jurassic park tried making their dinosaurs as accurate as they could for the time.

@@insectilluminatigetshrekt5574 *_H O W T H O U G H ? ? ? ! ! !_* What the heck are those "velociraptors" ?

[@GreebleClown]

15:04 It could be that the size and additional adornments are like what happens with silverbacks and orangoutangs and many other primates where only the dominant males grow bigger and have display features while the males who haven’t bred/haven’t won leadership do not develop the dominant features until they can win a fight and breeding rights. You kinda also see it with anoles and iguanas, though I’m not sure to what extent it is age vs dominance in those species.

[@ExtremeMadnessX]

That's how I see it as well.

[@KingSpades]

One thing i did notice about the Carnos is that the smaller one not only was smaller, it was also faster and FAR more reckless and aggressive. Im guessing it was a father/child situation where the "fireball" drove them out of their home and they stuck together to survive, then they found the scent of the herd and followed it for food and the rest is history.

[@calebbusing6171]

Probably

[@LoremasterYnTaris]

Another theory that I've heard is that they were a mated pair, though I agree that the 'fireball' drove them out of their typical range and were following the herd in search of their next meal.

[@AnimeRyker2001]

Also as a minor point, Bruton and Kron are not Iguanodon, they are Altirhinus. I know the question is "well if thats the case how is he Neera's Brother". Well that leads to one of two things. Either they are trying to say that Iguanodon and Altirhinus are so close that they can interbreed (probably not), or Kron was adopted, I doubt Neera was adopted since Iguanodon seem to be so much more populous than Altirhinus, who might be going extinct due to competition with their close cousins.

[@kevinnorwood8782]

As iconic as this film's version of Carnotaurus is, they really focused on making him seem like a powerhouse-type predator like T-Rex, when in reality it was a speed demon-style predator (a Cretaceous cheetah, as it has often been described). So in that respect, the Terra Nova Carnotaurus is actually MUCH closer to the real Carnotaurus, except its arms are WAY too big. If you took the Terra Nova Carnotaurus, and gave it the arms of the Disney Carnotaurus, you'd probably have a design that's nearly exactly up to modern scientific standards.

[@nateperez7768]

Actually, leptoceratops was not in the movie. The small ceraptopsians are Microceratus( known at the time as Microceratops) Also, the velociraptors were indeed originally planned to be feathered but the feathers got left out

[@thehuntersguide]

Perhaps the carno was suffering from gigantism?

[@calebbusing6171]

Maybe

[@cristhianmlr]

I remember from a tie-in magazine from Dinosaur that Bruton and Kron where based on Muttaburrasaurus since they were believed to be Iguanodontids back when the movie was in development, they also called Ur Euoplocephalus.

[@captainstroon1555]

I just realized the lemurs were included as implied human ancestors. They chose lemurs despite the temporal displacement to make that connection more visible. That, or they just needed the mammalian sidekicks to be able to climb on Aladar's back

[@sizzybubbles]

I have the old special edition multi-disc dvd with all the bonus features as well as the large making-of book… it has A LOT of insight on the designs. I know the iguanadon character designs were made so you could tell them apart easily. The trick if they were all shadowed, you could still tell who’s who. In the art book Zondag says: “We’d add a little bit of a bump on the nose or change the shape of the beak a little. We’d find what we could an exaggerate it.” It specifies that Kron’s was meant to look intimidating with this thick neck and big chin… Bruton was also very robust and rhino-like. So in the end… just character design :D

[@calebbusing6171]

Interesting

[@LucasCaminha]

So apparently, the whole "cretaceous brachiosaur" conundrum was a common misconception from the late 90s to the early 2000s, as some sauropod fossils from early cretaceous Tunisia were once assigned specifically to Brachiosaurus, and as such a lot of dinosaur books from that time mentioned its temporal range as going from the jurassic to the cretaceous. Needless to say, those fossils are no longer believed to belong to Brachiosaurus, and I'm pretty sure they're currently nameless, though I don't remember if it's classified as a brachiosaurid still or if that changed. Weirdly, Iguanodon and Hypsilophodon were also often mentioned to range from the jurassic to the cretaceous back then, likely due to wastebin taxonomy.

[@jacobcuevas5609]

I always thought the reason Burton and Kron had a horn like thing on their nose was a reference to paleontologist thinking iguanadons thumb spike was a nasal horn

Here's a list of animals I'd choose if I were to make a more "scientifically accurate" update of Disney's Dinosaur. The time for my setting is ~68 MYA; due to this, many animals from ~2 million years prior or later appear in this update. ~2 million years isn't that big of a stretch, so it's possible there could've been some overlap; with some creatures starting to become extinct & others just starting to appear. The setting of my update is Laramidia (the Western Half of North America - no specific subsection). Due to the natural disaster (either a smaller asteroid impact event or a volcanic eruption), species from both the Northern & Souther sections of Laramidia are present here. The natural disaster caused many species to become displaced & they're now able to meet/interact with each other: Kritosaurus navajouvius - Replacement for the Iguanodon. Struthiomimus sedens - Same as the original but now with feathers. Avisaurus archibaldi - Replacement fro the Ichthyornis. Hypacrosaurus altispinus - Replacement for the Parasaurolophus. Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis - Same genus as the original but a different species for the update. Alamosaurus sanjuanensis - Replacement for the Brachiosaurus. Palaeosaniwa canadensis - Replacement for the Longisquama. Albertosaurus sarcophagus - Replacement for the Carnotaurus. I didn't want to go with either Tyrannosaurus or Nanuqsaurus, Tyrannosaurus is overused & Nanuqsaurus is too far North, so I decided to go with a this tyrannosaur for the update. Albertosaurus is, in some ways, the tyrannosaur equivalent of a Carnotaurus. I was considering a trio (instead of a duo) pack of Albertosaurus, with one being an exceptionally large individual (hip height of ~3.5 meters & length of ~10 meters) & the other two being average size (hip height of ~3 meters & length of ~9 meters). Leptorhynchos gaddisi - Replacement for the Oviraptor. Champsosaurus annectens - Replacement for the Koolasuchus. Glyptodontopelta mimus - Replacement for the Talarurus. Tethydraco regalis - Replacement for the Geosternbergia. While its' fossils have been found in North Africa, it could've had a larger distribution due to it possibly being analogous to Sea Birds. Mosasaurus hoffmanni - A creature that had a fully rendered model but was cut from the final; so I decided to include it in the update. Being an marine animal, it likely could've had a global distribution. Purgatorius sp. - Replacement for the Lemurs. Dineobellator notoheseprus - Replacement for the Velociraptors. Regaliceratops peterhewsi - Replacement for the Styracosaurus. Leptoceratops gracilis - Replacement for the Microceratus. Anodontosaurus lambei - Replacement for the Ankylosaurus/Euoplocephalus. Sphaerotholus buchholtzae, edmontonensis or triregnum - Replacement for the Stygimoloch. I couldn't decide on which species, seeing as all three fit the temporal & geographical setting of the update, so any of the three could work.

7:04 Two of my favorite dinosaur related pieces of media combined into one. You sir are a man of quality.

The dinosaurs in that episode being Brontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus and Edmontosaurus (called a Duckbill, but the model is very obviously based on Edmontosaurus.) Also at 5:40 the small ceratopsian seen in the herd is actually Microceratus (known as Microceratops at the time the film came out.)

You should have a look at the Minecraft mod “prehistoric nature” it has over 800 prehistoric animals from the pre-cambrian all the way to the Jurassic at the moment the Jurassic is still being worked on so yea but they are going until the present day the creatures are as accurate as they can be within the restrictions of Minecraft and they will update animals and there models if new research comes out on them with noticeable differences

The scene when the meteors destroyed the island and killed most of the lemurs is one of the saddest scenes in a Disney movie

[@shainewhite2781]

Paul Verhoeven, director of ROBOCOP and Total Recall, was goung to direct the movie using stop motion animation by Oscar Winning VFX artist Phil Tippet, who did VFX for Jurassic Park. The story was going to involve a Styracosaurus named Root protecting his family from a Tyrannosaurus named Gronzi harassing them for far too long. Root tracks down and kills Gronzi, and Root reunites with his family, until the 6 mile wide asteroid slams into the Earth, wiping out the dinosaurs. The film would show that lemurs survived and that it wasn't the end, but the beginning of the human race.

[@araucanoraptorargentinus3973]

Woot, not Root. Also, other dinosaurs that were supposed to be in the film included Iguanodon (ironic, isn't it), Pachycephalosaurus, Thescelosaurus, Parksosaurus, Rhamphorhnychus, Dorygnathus, and Pteranodon.

[@Spiritprime91]

Reckon the duo carnotaurus were supposed to be a mated pair, or a parent with a child. The large one that survived the cave in (from what I remember reading in the junior novel of the movie) had gone on a revenge rampage. It basically snapped and made a suicidal charge at the herd when normally a more cautious carnivore would not really attack a huge herd of herbivores at all.

[@keizervanenerc5180]

15:04 Some social animals have dominant males which are bigger and have more exaggerated features than their subordinates. I'm not an expert on this topic, but from what I can remember, the lower ranking males' features are inhibited by the presence of the dominant males. So it could explain why the other Iguanodonts are smaller than Crone and Bruton, both of which are at the top of the social hierarchy. However, this doesn't take into account why Aladar doesn't grow such features after he becomes the leader. I'll excuse it as the producers not wanting to confuse the audience, which wouldn't understand the change.

I hope they do a sequel, prequel, or a medical, or matter of fact, a series of this movie I’m actually shocked you’re not a fan of the movie because a lot of fans love it but the only problem I have with it is that the pacing was very fast, but it is what it is but other than that it’s still one of the best movies ever and it’s hard to say, which is my second favorite dinosaur movie either Disney dinosaur or the land before Time because they both have very good stories and yeah, even though it’s not accurate, you can still enjoy the story and story is the most important thing

[@calebbusing6171]

I had noticed that there were different types of dinosaurs in this movie from several different parts of the world that would have never met each other. Carnotaurus lived in South America and Oviraptor and Velociraptor lived in Asia. The others lived in North America

[@AnimeRyker2001]

Actually, if you look closely the Geosternbergia does have pycnofibers on its back. I agree it needs more, but considering when this movie came out, its impressive any way included. As for feathers, originally the Velociraptors, Oviraptors, and Struthis were gonna have them, but they turned out to be wayyyy to complicated to animate at the time, which is fair. How many shows or movies back then had CGI birds that looked good

[@hopegallows1392]

I had the Carnotaurus happy meal toy as a kid, it was a rubber hand puppet and that thing terrified me.

[@drewmccoy756]

The velociraptor design makes me so happy given there realistic proportions of there body’s and its the highlight for me seeing as it’s not common to see in media anyway only issue which is not that big of a issue seeing as the feathers and it’s ok for me because it was hotly debated at the time & not excepted at the time.

[@calebbusing6171]

The main character originally was to be a Styracosaurus. He may have ended up being an Iguanodon but there still are some Styracosaurus in the movie

[@AdamWingard_Official]

Make a heisei Godzilla accuracy review as he was originally a dinosaur

australia wrights a big "DO NOT COME HER, WE DON'T WANT YOU" with it's animals

[@brodenwood895]

8:49 did you call strutiomimus a maniraptoran? Btw I love your videos and I'm glad you're back!

[@galamran2251]

I have waited for this one for so long

[@calebbusing6171]

The Carnotaurus in Jurassic World seems to be the size that the real life Carnotaurus was

[@0iqgremlin414]

With Kron and Bruton's designs, my only personal interpretation (which might be accidental) is that they represent how we used to see dinosaurs, big and aggressive with a 'you are on your own' mentality. They also had a bump on their noses like how Iguanodon used to be portrayed with before it was found out to be a thumb spike. Meanwhile Neera and Aladar are representing the newer ways to see dinosaurs, caring, herd/pack animals that watch out for the weaker members, more like animals than monsters

[@cro-magnoncarol4017]

[@ironiccookies2320]

The CGI in this movie is better than most CGI today

[@guillaumebabey4484]

For me the main issue with the Struthiomimus is that the skull seems to be closer in shape to Gallimimus! I do wonder if that's a case of misnaming in that regard.

[@GGregoryDarnley]

Pteranodon? Isn't that a Geosternbergia?

[@GLeviathan]

I find the misconception of old paleoart depictions dragging their tails funny. Many famous pieces from the time simply depicted them in a resting position.

[@calebbusing6171]

The filmmakers originally planned to use Tyrannosaurus as the main antagonist but they changed their minds because they decided that since Tyrannosaurus always seemed to be used as the main antagonist in dinosaur movies, they would use something else. They decided to use a carnivorous dinosaur that wasn’t as famous and well known as Tyrannosaurus and had never been in a movie before. They chose Carnotaurus since it wasn’t well known and familiar at the time and hadn’t been in a movie before

[@tootired6261]

I'm pretty sure that the Pterosaur from the opening scene was Geosternbergia based on the crest shape instead of Pteranodon.

[@GalvyTheTom]

I think it depends on whether you consider it a Pteranodon species or its own genus, or if there's a study that definitely decides the matter (for simplicity's sake I will not make a judgement on the matter)

[@cro-magnoncarol4017]

One reason why Url is so inaccurate for an Ankylosaurus is because he isn't an Ankylosaurus at all, because on the DVD specials his character designer said he's actually based on an Euoplocephalus. There's also concept art where the Carnotaurus was realistically sized, being around the same size if not slightly smaller than Iguanodon. The reason Carnotaurus was so ridiculously big in the film was because it was added so late in production they had no time to down size it from the original carnivorous antagonist Tyrannosaurus.

[@Jinbeizamezama]

I remember hearing, somewhere, idk where, that they originally planned to use t rexes for the carnotauruses? But I think they changed it because either the rexes were too overplayed/predictable or they wanted to show off somehting cool and distinct (which worked, little kid me loved those badass red horned theropods so much that they, and the species, still holds a special place in my heart) I love t rex as much as the next guy but it does get overplayed as hell. Show me some carnotaurs and allosauruses and tarbosauruses and yuutyrannuses and what not.

[@Greenthero]

Idc if this movie isn’t exactly completely accurate, this is still my favorite movie

[@VanessaScrillions]

This video is truly fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed watching! Thank you!!!

[@syn7527]

This movie was certainly my first introduction to Carnotaurus; although at the time, I didn't realise that was the name; I just thought the characters couldn't pronounce "carnivore".

[@oshkeet]

Its says a lot about how ubiquitous it is in the modern day I almost never notice there shouldn't be grass in a dinosaur movie.

[@solen77]

Why Baylene ( the Brachiosaurus ) Is the last of her kind was most likely because Sauropods are both big and slow, most of them could have died of the toxic ashes, the Insane temperatures or could have been hit by falling rocks. Not only that, they need an Insane amount of food in order to survive each day. There still could be other Brachiosauruses out there who survived, but they would possibly only be little ones because the bigger ones probably got hit or starved already. In the raptor scene there were still grass growing, so it is more likely for younger Brachiosauruses to still be alive, hopefully when they get bigger there is enough food to sustain them. We only saw two Carnotaurus in the movie ( The one in the beginning of the movie could be a third one or one of the two we see later ) their species could have gone extinct because of the lack of prey and their habitat being destroyed forcing them to move ''North'' stated by Kron and Bruton in the film. The raptors on the other hand, they could have survived just maybe. The first time we saw them, there were around 8 of them but later there were only 3, they could have split off to find food.

[@deadeye4047]

When it comes to Krom and Brutus, I have a theory. These two were likely apart of a herd when they were younger. When they got older, reached maturity, and started producing loads of testosterone through territorial fights or mating brawls, the horn grew with the testosterone. Aladar was nowhere near another Iguanadon and thus, his horn never developed because it never needed to. When he follows The Herd, it was too late for him to develope that horn.

[@chester896]

I LOVED this movie when I was a kid. It was always in the VCR at my grandma’s house lol

[@bbtt4063]

and about lemurs.. Initially, instead of them there should have been ordinary mammals from the Cretaceous period, but then they were replaced with lemurs as the most suitable and child-friendly replacement

[@katyungodly]

My theory as to why Url acted like a dog was to show that his species was less intelligent. Not sure of the accuracy, but I'm guessing if they included more of his species they would have acted similarly.

[@Fablevill]

This was my FAVORITE movie for many years! But, I was a dinosaur kid and also 2.

[@pursuedsubset5915]

For bruton and krohn the artbook says the idea for them was a mix of modern(at the time) and old images of iguanadon, the bone crest on the nose is the giveaway for krohn since old iguanadon had the thumb as a nose spike and bruton is a giant thats pretty evened out not arched like the old paleoart. So yeah they just used old art😅

[@sandwichsultan906]

I personally thought it was a nice touch having dinosaurs that weren't as well known to the media. Like Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops.
