I like stories, well-told stories, and engaging characters. If this movie has both, then we'll go see it. If it has a great score, we'll buy it and put it in the mommy-mobile.

I DIDN't take him to see "Tarzan" or "Inspector Gadget." There are others that I can't remember. There's some movie out about a dog right now that I won't go to either.

What I'm saying is: If it's got a good plot and good characters, then I'm all for it. There aren't many movies I can share with my sons right now. The more the better.

I think they fascinate people because they represent a lost, alien world (no pun intended) that we can get a glimpse of though discovery. It is romantic to think about an age where these incredible creatures lived and breathed. It is also a little scary to think about a time when real monsters (Not just homicidal maniacs) roamed the Earth.

The Animation looks just as good as the trailer for Disney's Dinosaur, but this is definitely going to be more documentary style. I think they said it will air next month, I will update y'all when I find out more about it.

This is a Disney film for crying out loud, with a trailor appearing before Toy Story 2. I mean really, this is geared towards children. What is wrong with that? So, Disney can't make films for kids anymore just because us highminded, semi-scientist want to see a documentary styled film on these beasts?

Gheese, perhaps some of us should go to the backyard and try to dig up our own childhood back up, where emotions were still tolerated. In a world where six year old shoot other kids, a little sachhrine animations might just be a good thing.

That is precisely where I saw that preview. I thought that show on the Mammoth was going to be the coolest thing, how wrong was I. 2 hours of watching some guys dig up bones in snow instead of sand, wow, thrilling.

I looked on the Discovery channel's website and couldn't find any info about the dinosaur show. Perhaps when it gets a little closer to the airing date they will say more about it.

What you are talking about is WALKING WITH DINOSAURS a BBC series already shown here in England last year (It had MASSIVE U.K.audience figures),and is due to be shown on Discovery this Spring!
The first of Six half hour episodes takes you from the Triassic through Jurassic to the Cretaceous over Land, under Sea and in the Air, via Animatronics and CGI all narrated by Kenneth Branaugh.

It's Absolutely Bloody Brilliant!!

Oh, And did I say the score is excellent (and available) too!, it's by Benjamin Bartlett, no I've never heard of him either, but it's a full orchestral score, And along with NINTH GATE, THE MUMMY, JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS and 13th WARRIOR is the best score I bought in '99'!

timmer

gimme a break.

Thanks for the info, I will be looking out for both the show and the score.

Spor2,

I don't think you could be more wrong.

Movies like The Land Before Time are great! Sure, it's target audience is children... but the combination of story and music still evokes the same emotions (if not more, now that I'm older and understand sensitivity).

The BBC filmed there locations in Chile , California and New Zeland.

....and what does that have to do with the price of egg's?
