Narrator:
Once upon this same earth, beneath this same sun, before you, before the ape and the elephant, before the wolf, the bison and the whale, before the mammoth and the mastodon, in the time of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were of two kinds. Some had flat teeth...
User Review
A great story which has been bastardised with pointless sequels.
Rating:
I remember first seeing this movie in the theatres!!!! I loved it and I
have
had it on video for quite some time now. I am older and realise how good
this movie is and what it truly means! It's such ashame when great movies
like these get destroyed by pointless, stupid sequels which are so
childish.
This movie has it all! A tale about dinosaurs, friendship, love & family,
adventure, hope, and a tale about life itself. You may not physically cry
but your heart will.
