Dinosaur (2001)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Release Date: Jan 30, 2001; Movie Rated: PG; Genres: Animation, Kids and Family; With: Julianna Margulies and D.B. Sweeney; Distributor: Buena Vista Pictures

Dinosaur's computer generated effects are somewhat less eye popping (a shame, considering the reported $140 million price tag) on the small screen, and the story line -- about the quest for survival of a spunky iguanodon (dully voiced by D.B. Sweeney) raised by lemurs -- remains as generic as the movie's title. Parents should take special note of the PG rating: The frequent realistic scenes of prehistoric carnage can be terrifying for toddlers, even on a 20 inch television.
