In this computer-animated Disney feature, the lizard kings of the Mesozoic era wander through forests and valleys, and then through an endless sandstone wasteland in search of water, all with an authenticity that's nearly three-dimensional in its clarity. The creatures also talk, in the chatty, smart-aleck cadences of Disney's cartoon animals. Dinosaur doesn't offer anything to adult viewers as thrilling as Steven Spielberg's predator choreography in Jurassic Park. Yet it's a serenely pleasing kiddie movie that invites little ones to sink into their dinosaur dreams. B+
