单选题 "Dinosaur" is the story of a young Iguanodon dinosaur whose life is uprooted when a meteor hits the planet and he and his family are forced to look for a new home.
"It's about characters who have to face adversity and stick together," Schumacher said, a human story told with animals.
But he admits the real achievement of "Dinosaur" is taking digitally created characters and blending them with real images like waves crashing on the beach or clouds floating in the sky. This creates "a live-action type of film."
To be different from traditional cartoons, "Dinosaur" attempts to re-create the real-life existence of dinosaurs. And the talking animals offer simple lessons in how to live. In short, it is vintage Disney.
The 90-minute movie took more than five and a half years to produce, and Disney built a huge campus in Burbank, California for the new digital studio, called "The Secret Lab, "that would create "Dinosaur."
While a typical live-action film takes about two years to make from beginning to the cinema, Disney animators took 18 months just to make a "test" version of the film to see if it could be done.
Four years later, they have "Dinosaur," and early reviews are ecstatic. Trade newspaper Daily Variety called it "an eye-popping visual spectacle that serves up a vivid picture of what the planet might have looked like."
The film follows the life of Aladar, an Iguanodon--a sort of cow-like animal weighing up to five tons--who is separated from his herd and raised by a family of primates called Lemurs.
Aladar, voiced by actor D. B. Sweeney, feels the Lemurs are his kin. But he is actually an outsider.
When a meteor hits Earth, Aladar saves his family from the fire and devastation that follow and they find themselves on a quest for food and water. While on their trek, they meet other prehistoric beasts all looking for a safe nesting ground.
During the journey, Aladar fights with the herd's leader, Kron, falls in love with Kron's sister, Neera, and teaches the other dinosaurs that if they all work together they can achieve a common goal.
The scenery is bright and beautiful. When herd members locate their nesting paradise, the sky is the bluest of blue, the grass a deep green, and the water looks cool and inviting.
The film is rated PG, meaning parental guidance is suggested because of its violence.
