 Awesome Movie August 31, 2007

For those of you who are adults and read way to much into this movie YOU SUCK!!!! This is a great movie for children and for children to enjoy it you parents have to get off your bum and teach them the differences between fiction and reality. Children will fall in love with the dinosaurs and their friends. It is a great way to show children that having an imagination is okay in the real world.
An Overlooked Treasure June 11, 2007

I thank my father for introducing me to this film, at the tender age of seven or eight, because ever since watching it for the first few times, I have yet to hear mention of it again, which is an awful shame, seeing as this 1993 Amblimation classic is of considerably higher crust (and flavor) than much of what's animated nowadays. Call it contemporary '90s entertainment, but that's what's you want when you're looking for animated blockbusters.
Very loosely based on the Hudson Talbott children's book of the same name, "We're Back!" embraces quality animation and a once-in-a-lifetime voice cast (including not only John Goodman and Martin Short, but also Jay Leno and Walter Cronkite) to tell a somewhat basic story of friendship, self-sacrifice, and (to a lesser extent) overcoming one's fears by way of a dinosauric romp through New York City. Solidly constructed, the tale of smartened-up dinoes Rex, Elsa, Dweeb, and Woog lives by enthusiastic appeal that has the ability to overshadow some of the more simplistic aspects of the film, and, if nothing more, remind you why these kinds of films used to be fun.
These simplistic aspects are the film's drawbacks: the plot moves forth at a pace that's almost too leisurely and undeterred, the characters experience minimal development, and the antagonist is overcome with minimal difficulty. Whether or not the viewer is able to embrace these simplicities is what is sure to make or break the film to the individual viewer; if you're able to identify the simple points of the film as nonetheless solid supports of the story, there's a good chance you'll enjoy it. Make no mistake, this is a child's film, but truly one for children of all ages.

I have loved this movie since I was a child and when I saw it here on amazon I was thrilled. I now have a young child who watches it and loves it as well. It has a lot of morals to the story. It teaches kids about dinosaurs, not to trust strangers, always trust and love your parents, and friends come in all shapes and sizes. Good Movie.

This movie has two issues that make it terrible for children. It is very based on evolution with de-evolution being a big part of the story. Secondly, there is a scene where two children sell their souls to a circus owner, signing on the line in their own blood. For those who do not object to these things, there is the rest. It is brainless, plotless, pointless, foolishness; not to mention very, very dumb. Kids do like the animated dinosaurs walking, talking, back to life. However that doesn't make it worth showing them or (yuck) actually having to sit through the whole miserable movie.
