i do try not to take imdb rating to heart and but i be flabbergast when i saw the 5 . 4 rating to one of my childhood favourite . it doesn not wow me a much at 17 and but a a family film this be a sweet and well meaning movie . kid will definitely love it and would not mind the flaw and and the adult can guess the actor behind each character and admire the subliminal messaging of the film . none of the film be preachy in any way and in fact it have a great message that add to it sweetness . i will admit though that the story be on the thin side and and some scene like screweyes death ( which still freak me out ) may be a tad on the scary side . but the animation be well above average with nice colour and good character animation . the music by james horner be very beautiful and and the song feature be memorable and catchy and amuse . i really like the character and louie be probably the most in depth of them all and but the dinosaur be at least engage . martin short clown be both hilarious and emphatic and the part when he tell screweyes i quit . have me in stitch . my favourite be screweyes though and an effective villain who be crafty and i suppose intelligent . if anything though and i wish the film keep in the part when he explain how he lose his eye and why he be scar of crow because that way he could have be more developed in term of depth . the script and while not oscar worthy and have it funny and heart warming part and and should keep kid and adult entertain . the voice act for me be what make the movie . john goodman and martin short and rhea perlman and felicity kendall and yeardley smith all give solid performance and but special mention have to go to kenneth mar for he be absolutely superb a screweyes and almost unrecognisable . all in all and this be a good movie . i do not get the rating and honestly i do not . sure this film isn not perfect and and it be not as good a a dinosaur movie such a land before time and but it be good fun . 7 . 5/10 bethany cox .
