Movie Review: Dinosaur

Story: I am not a fan of Disney. They are too big (like dinosaurs) and I happen to have liked Times Square the way it used to be. Now it has become just another theme park like most of America and it has lost it's unique personality. Okay, now that I got that off my chest - it is back to the review. After my harrowing, nail biting, hair pulling, cursing at full throttle computer crash of a weekend I needed a movie break. So what do I pick? A computer generated visually astonishing Disney at its grandest kiddie flick. The story (what little there is) doesn't matter - we are treated to carnotaurs (we used to call them T. Rex'), iguanodons, styrachosaurus', brachiosaurus' and lemurs (huh)? all anthropomorphically Disneyized and seamlessly blended in with some real locations such as Hawaii, Venezuela and Australia. There is a cataclysmic asteroid explosion, implied death (it is Disney), sappy creature love and a hint of Darwinism. The credits are endless and apparently there were some 550 computer personnel busy at their workstations, devouring 3.2 million processing hours and occupying 45 terabytes of space. What the heck is a terabyte? It sounds very scary. It is said this space could fill 70,000 CD ROMs with information. I wonder if any of those computer work stations had a crappy weekend like I did?

Acting: Too sappy to comment about.

Pets: The whole movie is filled with pets. But the previews which took about fifteen minutes did have a wonderful Dalmatian puppy announcing the coming of 102 Dalmatians this summer with the wonderful Cruella again.
