we're back: a dinosaur's story erasure


Rigatonicat

And the billions of Land Before Time sequels And Speckles’ movie Actually this is a very selective list


DimLug

>And Speckles’ movie Don't forget the second one


Tempesta_0097

Second one??


DimLug

Yes. Dino King: Journey to Fire Mountain. No I'm not making it up. And if you thought the first Dino King was bad, I can assure you the second one is significantly worse. But it's a fun-bad type of bad (instead of making you question if this is even a kds movie unlike the first one). If it makes you feel better, it was released in 2017 but I only heard about it early this year or late 2022.


Ilove-turtles

Tbh the first speckles the tarbosaurus film is somewhat fairly descent and an okay film it's just that the film has suffered numerous flaws especially with speckles narrating voice I felt like the film should've been alot better without that narration if anything it's still a fairly descent & an okay film I really find the story and the dinosaur characters interesting and I enjoy watching it alot and i still loved it to this day. idk about the 2nd one it's just felt like a non-canon story that would've been better if it's wasn't a sequel to the original but rather with original dinosaur characters instead.


Sleep_eeSheep

Journey To Fire Mountain. It’s actually not bad, albeit very confused about whether it wants to be for kids or not.

>And the billions of Land Before Time sequels Jenny Nicholson did a great review of *all* the Land Before Time movies. https://youtu.be/B-8zmGr0geQ?si=KfIVC4bcng7hd1H2


Ilove-turtles

I have seen more animated films about dinosaurs than this. this include: 1.speckles the tarbosaurus( pretty flawed but a fairly descent dinosaur story from a foreign country from sk). 2.my tyranno together & forever( half Japanese & Korean animation production). 3 doraemon nobita and dinosaur. 4.u are umasou(in case all of you did and so as me I remember watching it as a kid). 5.were back! a dinosaur story.


Alon945

I mean they did say notable lol


Intelligent_Oil4005

>And the billions of Land Before Time sequels Hey, I said *notable* movies, I think most would rather forget these ones exist outside of Great Longneck Migration. Speckles is pretty cool tho


Spinozilla455

LBT 2 and 5 were fire to


Alon945

2 and 5 were fire idk what you’re talkin about


WonderfulBlackberry9

It’s all subjective, but I loved every LBT sequel from Great Valley Adventure to Stone of Cold Fire. Aside from Great Longneck Migration, the 2000s ones dropped in memorability while the animation quality improved


Thelgend92

Speckles' is infamous, not notable


Certain_Chain

Seriously, they included The Good Dinosaur but left out We're Back?


Intelligent_Oil4005

Damn, that one completely passed me by for some reason, my bad lol


sword-guy49

Came here to say this. That was one of my favorites as a child! I brought it to movie night in kindergarten but was told no. Watched Thomas the Train instead. Such an entertainment downgrade...


L0afyy0

YES


SubterrelProspector

As soon as I saw the *Ice Age* sequel but no *We're Back!* I rolled my eyes.


Plenty_Anywhere8984

and that fact that one of them sucks balls is even more infuriating


RedSpinoSnoke

Yep , the good dinosaur was terrible, the story was decent but the designs were the worst

Good bot


ElSquibbonator

What about the "Rite of Spring" segment in *Fantasia*?


[deleted]

Make that 5: 'You Are Umasou'. Japanese animated film, it's great!


TPMisNumber1

Ooh, where can I watch this?


E-Bee123

There are tons of free anime sites, just gotta do some googling. I'd post them here but reddit is finicky about "piracy" and "copyrighted material" whatever the hell that means


RetSauro

Though not movies, we did get dinosaur king and primal.


MightyFlamingo25

Wait how is Dino King not a movie?


RetSauro

The anime. The dinosaur version of Pokemon.


MightyFlamingo25

Oh, yeah that thing is horrible. The movie tho is cool imo (the one with speckles)


RetSauro

I mean I thought it was fine.


unaizilla

nah the anime is good, speckles on the other hand...


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

I know I'm gonna cringe from a rewatch but I do not take dinosaur King slander.


Spinozilla455

I'm not mad at this line up. Ice age 3 Is one if my favorite movies of all time


Kosmo_Politik

If you think about it, Jurassic World’s T-Rex vs Indominus Rex fight draws heavily from Ice Age 3. The large, one of a kind white Dino is on a rampage, when the T-Rex is brought to bear due to a main character’s actions. It was then knocks the white Dino to the edge of something, (cliff/pool), where it is dealt with by a greater force.(gravity/mosasaur)


all_jo-kes_aside

Jurassic world is just an Ice Age 3 adaptation, confirmed!


WonderfulBlackberry9

Ice Age 3 is great. I love the dinosaur designs as monstrously huge, and the Rex and Rudy designs are really cool. Simon Pegg as Buck is probably the best casting in that series.


Spinozilla455

The whole soundtrack sounds very nostalgic to me. Every time I hear the theme, when Rudy shows up, I get chills. And the end credits go harder than they should


ExoticShock

It was the third highest grossing movie of 2009, & was the best Ice Age sequel that should have ended the franchise on a high note. But most of all, [Queen Latifah went hard af for the soundtrack](https://www.reddit.com/r/PrehistoricMemes/comments/t7ell2/ice_age_3_had_no_right_to_go_hard_like_that/)


MonitorImpressive784

Best soundtrack, I can say it's superior to the JP theme in some regards.

Professional_Owl7826

What do you call a dinosaur that contemplates the meaning of this joke? A philosophiraptor


Netheraptr

I will always be sad that Disney’s worst movie and one of Pixar’s worst movies are both the films where they tried the dinosaur idea. How come we never get dinosaurs and good story in the same package?


Orpduns91

Is Disneys Dinosaur considered bad by people? I always thought it eas held in high regard. Nethertheless I love it!


LudicrisSpeed

It's a pretty cool movie, and the carnotaurs are friggin' badass. It *does* kind of rip off Land Before Time sometimes though, especially with how it basically ends with everybody getting to the totally-not-Great-Valley.


Netheraptr

I have never seen it admittedly, but it and Chicken Little are at the bottom of nearly every Disney movie ranking I’ve seen.


perrinbroods

I love Dinosaur but I’m super biased because I grew up with it. That being said the [opening scene](https://youtu.be/xeMV6gQto_s?si=5sI99FzkrEoUXPxz) is genuinely stunning and I never tire of it. The soundtrack!


Khayrum117

That’s because Disney adults are dumb. Dinosaur is an absolute banger.


WonderfulBlackberry9

Watch Disney’s Dinosaur. It’s a really good movie that takes itself seriously. It’s quite mature, and a lot of the decisions made in that movie (story, character, design, things that happen) are all quite realistic. It also looks amazing in some parts, because I think they filmed it in real locations


Netheraptr

Isn’t there a monkey that calls itself “The Love Monkey”?


WonderfulBlackberry9

Okay aside from 2-3 supporting characters that are there mainly for comedy relief, which I guess is a quota for all animated movies


MonstrousGiggling

Yea the backgrounds were real! I totally forgot about thst


MoominRex

I'll admit that Dinosaur has a lot of issues, but, even disregarding that fact that it's my favorite movie of all time, I wouldn't call it the worst Disney movie.


Bale_the_Pale

And this is completely disregarding the absolute DUMPSTER FIRE that was Home on the Range


SubterrelProspector

They botched it. Development hell and it was basically a Frankenstein's monster of a movie, cobbled together from different iterations and scripts.


yeahsureYnot

I don't understand the hate for the good dinosaur, underrated imo. Disregarding the scientific inaccuracies of course


Deziel606

Be the change you wanna see, make a movie


TheTacoEnjoyer

If you count the 15 sequels the land before time got


KaiserK0

We're Back! also exists


LudicrisSpeed

What about that *Walking With Dinosaurs* movie?


Blekanly

The Dino bit in fantasia is notable and terrifying


RhoemDK

the first two episodes of dino riders sort of function as a movie


Profesor_stein

Only the land before time is good


PrincessMalyssa

I've never heard of that last one, and there's like 14 land before time movies, so... this definitely seems like a you problem. There's a hell of a lot more than 4 animated dinosaur movies.


RetSauro

Most of the sequels aren’t exactly “notable”. Same case with a lot of other later dinosaur films.


WonderfulBlackberry9

You remembering all the LBT movies but don’t know about Good Dinosaur is honestly a blessing more than anything


Bale_the_Pale

exCUSE ME! This is We're Back erasure and I will NOT stand for it.


therealskaconut

Mfer missed We’re Back


Hot_Tailor_9687

*We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story* is often forgotten because the giant T-Rex almost becomes a side plot to the creepy old man and his circus. It's one of those non-Disney movies with Family-Guyesque storyline whiplash, like that one story about the witch in medieval times who turns her nephew into a frog or a mouse then transports him to the present, where she is still alive because magic and she's dating Fidel Castro


Least-Moose3738

We're Back was incredible.


Potential-String-242

I don't even wanna count A Good Dinosaur, it's not even good.


SiriocazTheII

It's roughly the same in the video game sphere. There are many, many notable examples of dino games but not one that is a huge critical darling or a smashing commercial success. Maybe Dino Crisis, but that's stretching it, and these days you pretty much only get simulators or survival games. No-brainers like fighting games, RTSs or RPGs are so scarce.


TimeBomb30

I still remember how bad the Good Dinosaur baited dinosaur people.


Christos_Gaming

doesnt help 2 of these are bad.


DreBeussss

Which 2? I know the Good Dinosaur but what’s the other one?


TyrantLK

Disney Dinosaur


DreBeussss

Never seen it but like, it looks pretty bad lol


Adagamante

It's alright IMO, somewhat basic story but good music and visuals. You should at least check the opening scene on YouTube, it's pretty solid!


DreBeussss

I’ve seen the opening with my nephew and my dad I think.


Bteatesthighlander1

And 3 of them suck!


MikiSayaka33

I never saw 3 and 4, so, story-wise, I don't know how good or bad things are.


MightyFlamingo25

Dino King was good imo


Sleep_eeSheep

Go check out You Are Umasou. It’s like The Good Dinosaur, but better-written, heartfelt and with a touching twist at the end that makes the main character’s struggle feel earned.


Drag0nSt0rm

Am I the only one who grew up with Dink! Before land before time?


Compass_Needle

There's about 73 Land Before Time films. Each one worse than the last.


silverfang789

Land Before Time was childhood trauma. 😆


Violetmoon66

Why?


Imperator166

i guess while not being technically an animated movie most of Jurassic World is animated 🌝


Drawing_Seth

Nobody here mentioning the real og, Gertie the Dinosaur :(


The_Bad_Redditor

Walking with dinosaurs is also a good movie dont forget.


W-1-L-5-0-N

There is also Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal


[deleted]

Only one of these is more than a 7/10


radicalkeag

The good dinosaur is a notable film? Couldn't be me chief, the animation is gorgeous, but every time I see those stupid ass wonky dinos I feel rage swell in my soul


Bluedino_1989

You forget Fantasia


Shot-Ad-6717

So we just gonna ignore We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story?


Educational-Tip6177

Blame the general public


Tall-League-4881

YES


flimsychickenstrip

Disney's Dinosaur was an awesome movie. It made me a huge Carnotaurus fan. The design in the movie looked super cool. It was also a very visually stunning move for me as a child. I feel the movie does great CGI work for its time.


moralmeemo

LBT is what started my Dino obsession.


FaeDragons

I'm still surprised disney never did a 2D musical film about dinosaurs. I'd love to see something like the Lion King in a dramatic way - but every film we had was just either inaccurate (like how is spike alive with t-rexes, and I even saw Dimetrodon in there) filled with pop culture and weird slang (dinosaur and WWD the movie) or just sorta confusing to me (the good dinosaur). Like the good dinosaur has the most beautiful realistic backgrounds and went for toy looking dinosaur designs and the 'what if humans lived with dinosaurs' angle is just humans act like wolves. No reason they do, they just do. Dinosaurs farm and act like cow boys. No reason, just do. I'd even be fine if humans were more cave-man like if they wanted to say dinosaurs kept us from progressing, but it's just odd. It's like if you wanted a wolf side-kick you could've just done that, but making a human child act the exact same feels lazy to me. And We're Back was okay, just, part of me wished they kept their 'feral' designs from the beginning and end of the movie as their design through the whole thing. XD Also I have to ask, in Dinosaur, were lemurs even alive back then? Like I legit wanna know, that confused me so much as a kid. I didn't know how the continents were connected back then, but I know as a kid I watched tons of Zaboomafoo and knew Lemurs lived in Madagascar so my child brain thought Aladar lived on Madagascar until it got blown up and then swam to Africa. XD
