the message be many represent cooperation and perseverance and strength in the face of adversity and to not fear new idea . this be suppose to be a movie for child while but some of it be pretty brutal represent i would not take small child in spite of it ` g rating . the story be sweet and simple while allow more time for the message and character development . i find myself actually care for these hideous creature and cringe when one of them be injure . max casella and who seem to be eternally cast a some kind of geek on television and movie again play a geek only this time a primate . della reese voice be instantaneously recognizable a eema the old and caring and mother figure . kind of the ` mother of all dinosaur . she do it well . the many outstanding location use a background be magnificent . you will recognize the waterfall from ` jurassic park immediately . the cgi be do very well but not ( sadly ) as well a ` stuart little . the score ( apparently by james newton howard ) be absolutely outstanding represent majestic and serious and haunt in all the appropriate moment . i be pleased to say that this be a much good film than i be expect i enjoy it completely .
