Liam D Such an bizarre animated movie that wants to be childlike but then have incredibly dark and disturbing moments Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Alex S We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story is a cute and musically delightful family film from the 90s, boasted with memorable voice acting from John Goodman and others. However, despite its unique charm, it seems there’s a reason why the film didn’t starstruck enough gold that would have ensured its enduring popularity. Needless to say, I’m happy to keep this classic as close to my heart, as a lover of animation. Grading: B- Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Audience Member A weak story and bizarre character designs distract from the high quality animation, soundtrack and voice talent. Its a great throwback to the excellent cinematic cartoons of the 80's and 90's. Somehow the script just felt overcooked with far too many strange ideas crammed into the runtime like the producers got a little bit carried away with themselves. An entertaining if messy film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Noe G We're back a dinosaur story is a great movie from 1993 I give this film a 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Manga4th One of my best childhood memories. I've watched it more times than I can remember. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Audience Member 30 years later this is another one of my favorite childhood flicks Based on the book by Hudson Talbottt and directed by 4 people if you can believe it A big voice cast involving John Goodman, Jay Leno, Rhea Perlman, and Walter Cronkite An animated movie involving dinosaurs actually coming back in our lifetime! Basically it focuses on a dino named Rex; he tells his adventures to a small bird named Buster while playing golf of all things 65 million years ago Rex along with other dinosaurs were visited by Professor Neweyes, he along with his flying alien Forb buddy came from the future Thanks to some special cereal they're all intelligent learning to speak and think Neweyes wants to grant wishes around the world for children in this case he wants Rex and the others to travel to the future to visit them They arrive and ultimately befriend two children named Louie and Cecilia; both of whom run away from their families to find happiness and freedom Two important individuals they need to be aware of are Dr. Juliet Bleeb who's waiting their arrival at the museum of natural history and Professor Screweyes, a madman magician causing mischief and scaring children with monsters But is the present ready for these reptiles return or is it far too disastrous adding them back into the mix? The movie is super short that's for sure It misses on character development big time But it gets by with amazing animation, a powerful and emotionally sweeping score by James Horner, a catchy song number, and an exciting story of every kids dream come true involving dinosaurs Even giant monsters can be friends is the films central conceit This is the more family friendly version of Jurassic Park but more on a kidsy scale It unjustly slipped into obscurity by critics and box office numbers but really is an underrated gem accruing a passionate cult following Lighthearted, fun, brisk, spooky, and wonderfully animated We're Back has that warm fuzzy feeling we all have as kids wanting to see these long lost animals again Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
