During the Cretaceous Period, a dinosaur named Patchi (Justin Long) hatches among a herd of Pachyrhinosaurus. Patchi's runt status means he must use his wits rather than strength to compete for food with his larger brothers and sisters, particularly Scowler. After a terrible fire leaves Patchi, Scowler, and a female named Juniper on their own, the rivalry between the brothers escalates to a dangerous level. Patchi must summon his inner courage and strength to become the leader he was born to be.

Critics Consensus

Walking with Dinosaurs boasts painstaking visual brilliance, but it's unfortunately clouded by a clumsy script that's dominated by juvenile humor.

Well, i liked the movie. I thought it was cute and had amazing cinematics. I do wish the story had been a little more serious at times but in the end it was a good movie.

Alright so I went into this movie being like "Oh awesome, let's see some dinosaurs with great documentary dialogue!". But nope. This movie is CURSED! It's litereally cursed! What were the filmmakers thinking? I totally agree with critics here. Audience score is probably a bit too high. This movie is just CURSED! I keep saying that but it is. It's CURSED!! So basically, if you haven't seen it. The dinosaurs are well-animated, the world is nicely made but here's the problem. The dinosaurs talk. Not like litereally. They don't move their mouths while talking. It's some dumb people voices over them saying stuff. So let's say the dinosaur had it's mouth closed right? Well the person would be saying something like "I will become the leader no doubt! I will!". They didn't actually say that but you get the idea! It's cursed because they ruined it! The voices are so awful and bad they ruined the movie. This movie is godawful. The animation is really solid and everything else is fine but the voice part completely ruined this movie. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Yeah nobody should watch it. It's cursed. So don't watch it. Unless you want to see the horrifying mess. So yeah, that's my take on it.

I honestly love this movie and i have since it came out and would watch it nearly every night. It seems a little cringy now but when i was younger it was educational with an humorous nick to it that kept me entertained and started my slight obsession with dinosaurs.

When the wisecracking dialogue occasionally shuts up and the jerky pace slows down, you notice the astonishing CGI detailing. Otherwise, this boasts all the flair, heart and originality of an inbred sea cucumber.

Rated: 2/5

All narration and childish fart jokes should've been removed from this movie, and then, perhaps the children in the audience would actually learn something.

TheWrap

an insufferable family adventure whose impressive animation is consistently undercut by cartoonish self-awareness.

Punch Drunk Critics

With cringe-worthy dialogue and a long and unnecessary story, there's nothing about this film that stands out, which unfortunately shames the late '90s BBC series from which it originates.

Cook and Nightingale's kiddie flick is an uneasy, innocuous and easily avoidable anomaly.

For all of its visual feats, you can never quite get around that disconnected dialogue, especially the persistent chatter from a prehistoric bird-narrator voiced by John Leguizamo that approaches Jar-Jar levels of irritation.
