When three children find an egg-shaped time machine, their curiosity gets the better of them. They accidentally turn the contraption on and find themselves millions of years in the past. What's more, they've landed right in the middle of a dinosaur's nest of eggs, and the mother T-Rex is right there staring at them. Fortunately for the children, she thinks they're family, not food. However, they only have until the real eggs hatch to find a way back to their own time.

Kevin Maher Times (UK) Some rudimentary computer animation, a B-list voice cast and a surfeit of narrative ambition are the defining features of US-South Korean co-production Dino Time. Rated: 2/5 May 21, 2015 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian Displays early flickers of wit in zapping squabbling kids back to their hometown as it was in the Cretaceous era, before a drab quest narrative kicks in, cueing more plodding than any 70-minute should. Rated: 2/5 May 21, 2015 Full Review David Aldridge Radio Times Driven by some half-decent action scenes, Dino Time is no must-see, but it will comfortably while away a wet afternoon. Rated: 2/5 May 21, 2015 Full Review Emma Simmonds The List There are lightly delivered lessons for both parents and progeny; it nicely balances a message about allowing your kids to plough their own path with one about appreciating maternal sacrifice. Rated: 3/5 May 18, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member It doesn't quite do for animation, what Jurassic Park did for the live action genre, however it may keep young kids occupied for a while. Instantly forgettable though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
