Jurassic Park (1993)
Jurassic Park-Bastardised by pointless and mediocre sequels but probably the biggest, greatest, and most ultimate and influential Dinosaur movie of our lives!
Well, In 2008, Jurassic Park will celebrate its 15th anniversary.
Despite being bastardized by pointless and mediocre sequels, Jurassic Park is still the biggest, greatest, and most ultimate and influential Dinosaur Movie of our lives!
It really forever changes the course of movies and special effects with its CGI and Animatronic dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are really my all time, most favorite animals, although they're extinct now.
It's about these scientist guys (including Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ian Malcolm) and even these two kids visiting an island theme park until Security goes up in smoke, so did everybody and the theme park; and the Dinosaurs, including T-Rex and the Raptors breaks loose.
Jurassic Park is really my favorite Steven Spielberg movie other than E.T.
I love Jurassic Park, and it will so inspire me to make a dinosaur movie of my own, Dinosaurs: An Epic Prehistoric Tale (that's what I'll call it) and I'll release it on November 16, 2012. I hope that mine will kick off the Jurassic Park 20th Anniversary on November 2012 and will expand the dinosaur mania sparked by it, the Dinosaur Renaissance, etc., forever.
In 2008, get ready to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the biggest, greatest, coolest, and most ultimate and influential Dinosaur Movie of our lives...JURASSIC PARK!!!!!!!
Dinosaur (2000)
Disney's Dinosaur, A Forgotten, ill-fated, yet awesome live action/CGI film
Remember Disney's unbelievably bad CGI film from 2000, Dinosaur (A Disney CGI film with talking dinosaurs and monkeys?!!!! What were they thinking?!!!!!)? As you know, Disney's Dinosaur is a forgotten, ill-fated, but awesome animated masterpiece. Well, For all the bitching and moaning that has been raging over the plot, characters, and scientific inaccuracies of the film, you folks find Dinosaur lacking in the soul and spirit of the earlier 1988 screenplay and you thought it was way too Disney. You even thought it is the Plan 9 From Outer Space of Dinosaur movies. They all make mistakes, but Dinosaur was a honest one.
A Critical And Commercial Disaster, Dinosaur is a movie that all of you who went to see Jurassic Park in the theaters and Watch Walking with Dinosaurs on TV would like to forget.
You consider Disney's Dinosaur as the worst Disney 3D cartoon of all time. And it even put you, the fans and critics off even more than Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Well, there are a lot of you out there who are purist about Dinosaur (2000). There are praises for the CGI and Live Action Backgrounds, but the main blasts came from all of you who are opposed to the plot, the characters, the inaccuracies and such.
This was Disney's great dream of making a dinosaur movie, but when it was released on May 19, 2000, and died a dog's death, the trust you put to this company is now broken. Dinosaur's critical and commercial failure led to the bankruptcy of the Secret Lab. In your eyes, Dinosaur is not a great blend of CGI and Live Action Backgrounds--It was a failure to you, plain and simple. And that film is not a mistake that Disney or the others will eager to repeat!!! None of you wanted it. But the CGI, the Live Action Backgrounds kick ass! But...I Have a question. What Shall Disney do to improve and make over Dinosaur and to answer all of you who hated this, Disney's Dinosaur? Well anybody answer my question, please. Thank you.

Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip (1999)
I love those girlies!
Awww. I love those girlies. The girlies who gave Mandark a bath, Sarah (the blonde) and Rita (the brunette), while Mandark was yelling at that teenage Dexter and exposing his ass to the whole wide world (AKA the Viewers). Ohhhh, I love those sweeties. I love those girlies. But wait! that scene is highly erotic in my lifetime, and should have got Genndy Tartakovsky and his Hanna Barbara and Cartoon Network animators condemned by some, if not, many parents, for animating such an erotic moment for TV. But, I love those girlies who Mandark a bath, one blonde haired, the other, black haired. I love those beautiful and pretty sweeties. Kootchy, Kootchy, Kootchy, Kootchy, Kootchy...xxxxxxxxxxxxx (kisses)
Prehistoric Beast (1985)
Phil Tippet's Prelude to his Work in Jurassic Park
Garner Truett said that "Following the completion of his visual effects work on "Return of the Jedi," Phil Tippett wanted to make his own kind of film, a short stop-motion film featuring a few dinosaurs, and produced on a low budget. Created during the years of 1983 to 1985, the result was the twelve-minute-long "Prehistoric Beast." It featured a _Tyrannosaurus_ pursuing and killing a William-Stout-like _Monoclonius_ (which eats flowers) and was included in one of the touring "Festivals of Animation." Additional stop-motion footage of a _Maiasaura_ family, a _Deinonychus_ pair, _Struthiomimus_, unidentified *sauropods* eating conifer twigs, and asteroid impact effects were also filmed and incorporated into the one-hour CBS television special, "Dinosaur!" which debuted in 1986.
The host is Christopher Reeve, and other material includes talks with paleontologists (including Jack Horner), a segment on welded dinosaur art, and scenes of kids who love playing with dinosaurs. I believe that it is readily available on video in VHS format. (I've seen it for sale at Toys-R-Us).
The stop-motion footage is remarkable, usually playing out against a combination of miniature model scenery and painted backdrops or front-projected slide photographs of natural settings. By mounting "running" stop-motion models on rods covered with front-projection material, and moving the rods as frames of film were exposed, Tippett was able to impart a motion blur to the animals for a more naturalistic effect (a similar technique to Tippett's limited "go-motion" work on the running taun-tauns in "The Empire Strikes Back"). For some shots, it was necessary to project motion picture footage of moving backgrounds a frame at a time behind the animation models.
The footage was designed to look just like a contemporary nature documentary, with lens flares in the camera, and the camera searching for the animals as they moves in and out of the frame. The filmmakers studied such documentary programs as "Wild Kingdom" before planning the shots, and the footage is, basically, the sort of dinosaur footage of prehistoric animals going about their business that many on this list would enjoy seeing some day in a feature film. Tippett consulted Rob Long and other paleontologists at U.C. Berkeley.
As everyone probably knows, Tippett went on from "Dinosaur!" to create dinosaurs for the two Jurassic Park films."
And I will say that I'll include Phil Tippett's Prehistoric Beast and the 1985 CBS TV Christopher Reeve special, Dinosaur! as part of the Dexter's Odyssey DVDs between November 2012 and November 2013. Can't wait to see Phil Tippet's Prehistoric Beast! It will be totally awesome dude!
