If you really love dinosaur, but you don't know this theropod, so I doon't know who you are anymore. I took also his friend, too bad Carnotaurus lost her.
I love how they give the Carnotaurus a speechless personality besides murder. Throughout the movie we see how precious water is, but their gentleness in sharing the pool of water proves their partner is equally important. They walk side-by-side but get pushy when it comes to hunting. To the viewer it's a horrible carnage, but to the Carno, it's a tragic love story.
God the older i get the more i fall in love with this movie. The details and the clear amount of effort they put into this movie clearly shows by how well it still holds up today.
The Carnotauruses in this movie are without a doubt the most iconic depiction of Carnotauruses ever depicted in movie history considering that this was their first appearance in a dinosaur movie. Add to the fact that they were shown to be quite scary and terrifying makes them even more iconic and unforgettable.
@@luiz2810here's another fun fact. As the film was being developed, the carnotaurus was recently discovered. SO, I guess when the news spread to the director and the crew, they had found their main villains for the story. And it ain't a T-Rex.
@@d4rkpr1nc39 No, it was not. The only specimen was found in the 80's and the dinosaurs in the film are really carnotauruses only in name; they look nothing like the real animal. They just didn't want to make T-rex the antagonist of the movie so they made a T-rex with slightly different skull and colours.
@@hellegennes Surprised you found this comment. Honestly, I'm only spreading info I found from some random video I've found which unfortunately I can't find again. Idk.
@@hellegennespues los diseños son bien apegados a los fosiles encontrados. Si vez el esqueleto te das cuenta. No como cuando aparecio en juracic world, donde lo hicieron una lagartija xd y ni tomaron en cuenta qué los unicos restos encontrados del animal pudieron ser de un carnotauro adolecente.
One of the most underrated Disney villains, just a carnivorous creature looking for food, no speeches, no dialogue, just a display of size, teeth and instincts.What I like about them was that they tend to show a bit predatory tactics to corner the Dino's that were away from the herd. A truly terrifying disney villain.
Guillermo Calvillo fun fact. The Carnotaurus in the original script was supposed to have lines during the confrontation in the canyon. The developers however, thought it would’ve been creepy and overall out of place that the Carno just suddenly starts talking. I personally would have to agree with them.
I think predators like the Carnotaurus have their own language. In the Land before time's 5th movie, Chomper's parents spoke in a language where the subtitles showed on screen.

I personally think it would had been pretty cool, like you watch the whole movie thinking they are just mindless killing machines just for one moment he suddenly starts to talk, changing them from mindless killing machines to cold thinking killer. Imagine the carno talking like Smaug while confronting Aladar about his revenge during the climax of the movie. But I love the movie either way.
If I had two chose a few actors who could do the voices of the carnataours I would choose Benedict Cumberbatch, James Earl Jones or the late Christopher Lee
Eh spino was my fave rexy was the og and the carnos were just behind and indom was to me a great addition sucks how the jps afterwards very much sucks.
Even when they’re not on-screen, there’s still tension… as from the moment they scare off the raptor until the last Carnotaur bites the dust it always seems like they could appear at any moment. That roar heard just before the last Carnotaur appears before the herd is just horrifying, pure nightmare fuel. In short, the Carnotaurs were brilliant examples of “you don’t need dialogue for a villian to be scary,” which is why I have always defended the villians of Ice Age 2 (named Cretaceous and Maelstrom), as they function exactly like these two Carnotaurs.
Yeah, I was a MASSIVE dinosaur fan when I was in elementary school. After I saw this movie, I would constantly try to act like the Carnotaurus from this film when on the playground with my classmates. Lasted for a while, I'm 21 now, and I still love this film, but that behavior has been gone for a very long time.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="148">2:28</a> Bruton: I’ll hold them off! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="149">2:29</a> You help the others! Bruton is one of my favorites.
Bruton went out like a true hero, even though i watched it hundreds of times i always hated watching him die because i thought he deserved a good life. You can tell just by looking at him hes lived a rougher life then 90% of the herd. Thats why i hated seeing that scene BUT.. i love this movie so imma watch it all anyway. Also im now 25 and i just rewatched it today and the nostalgia i felt was. Felt like i was 4 again
I saw this in the theater when it came out in 2000 I was 11 and I’m now 32 and it really hits me how long ago my childhood was ! Movies like this bring back memories of a better time.
This was the first movie I can recall ever watching in a theater. My memory is extremely fuzzy since I was only 3. I recently asked my parents if they took me to see this at the time, and they do recall taking me. Rewatched it recently and it still holds up watching it as an adult. Sure, it's a simple movie, but whatever. Most films are simple.
The director knew what he was doing in order to make them intimidating: 1. Made it so there's literally no way for the protagonists to actually hurt them, regardless of how many and this is upheld until the final encounter. 2. Made it so that you never know when they're coming. 3. Establish that it's impossible to outrun them. 4. Establish that they are intelligent by having them follow footprints. 5. When they appear - they almost always have their prey cornered so even if you did try to run you wouldn't be able to. (Given this, the only choice is to fight which the protagonists can't so you think they're screwed. 6. Make them non-communicable so it's impossible to reason with them. 7. The characters believe they stand no chance, and thus the belief is imprinted on the audience. 8. In the final encounter, they flex the aforementioned techniques by having them appear in broad daylight, far away from the camera to make them look small and they STILL make you shit your pants despite the fact there's like 40 herbivores. Ontop of all this, they have debatably the most terrifying and badass design for any dinosaur ever.
I get chills when the Carnotaur appears at the other end of the valley, just walking casual, then it stops and raises its head to look at them when it notices them, makes me feel like its looking right at me. just chills every time
@@revillus8173 well tbh this was based on inaccuracy's of the Carno at the time so it's arms weren't layed flush against the body, it wasn't as bulky looking and wasn't about as big as a T.Rex but still the design Disney went for with the Carnotaurus is still intimidating by it's bulky appearance, fierce roar and the amount of spikes it has on both it's back and its tail did make it look more like a predator that should be feared from it's jaws to the horns on it's head
It still often acts more like a bully than a predator, going out of its way to scare its victims instead of trying to kill them as quickly as possible.
Fun fact: Carnotaurus in this movie was mostly stock sounds of Tigers, and the other sounds were uncredited by Frank Welker, and reused T-Rex sounds from Jurassic Park Lost World. At 0:47 you can hear a Tiger, and at 0:44 Frank Welker’s sound vocals making that memorable Carnotaurus roar from the movie. At 3:54 you can hear Jurassic Park T-Rex reused roar. But most of the sounds are primarily of Frank Welker, and Tiger sounds.
No joke, the Carnotaurus were probably the scariest villains I have ever seen when I was a kid every time they were onnscreen. If Satan was ever depicted as a dinosaur, this would be the source of my nightmares. The red colors, the horns and spikes, and bloodshot yellow eyes and that chilling roar is absolutely horrifying to hear even to this day.
They were just doing what they were built to do: hunt. Also the bigger one? That's likely a female since it generally accepted that those who care for the young and guard the nest need to be bigger. Still the idea that they could form bonds is a well-liked idea since the T-Rex Wyrex likely survived as long he did because he had someone, likely a mate, taking care of him. Yeah, the Carnotaurus weren't ever evil; just hungry and in one case likely vengeful.
well you can't fault the carnivores for what happens in your life they just follow their nature there is no good and evil for animals... with the exception of rogues
I've watched this movie an unhealthy amount of times as a kid and this line became a running gag for me and my parents. I've just rewatched the movie the first time after years on Disney Plus, when my mom came in and saw that I was watching it she instantly said the line :D
Loved the old ladies in the movie. As a little kid I had a cassette of this and would watch it over and over again, I especially loved the dinosaur vocalizations!
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="246">4:06</a> Male Carnotorus: Huh? I like the look on his face of the other dinosaurs standing up to him. This shows that even monsters like him, show emotions.
A tragically underrated and forgotten movie. Sadly only the ones who grew up with this movie remember it and love it. It was tragically underrated in its day but it’s aged quite well just like other underrated Disney Classics like Atlantis or Treasure Planet.
Treasure planet was my childhood but I completely forgot about this movie till now, remember watching this a kid and shitting myself every time i saw those badass mf
I watched that remake and was about to quit several times, that's what made the original great, the facial expressions gave lots of emotion and depth to the characters. The remake was piss-poor in about every possible way
@@Yoshikarter1 I respect your opinion, but the characters didn't feel authentic or alive for that matter, there were barely if not no facial expressions what so ever
They creeped me out as kid, and while 20 years later I can admire them, they still are admittedly a bit scary to me, mainly because in the film it always feels like they could appear at any moment and get someone from the moment they scare off the raptors.
@@darthmeticulous6901Lol same! I was so terrified of them as a child that i couldn‘t sleep in my own bed and cried when my parents wouldn‘t let me sleep in theirs. But funnily enough I wasn‘t scared after watching real horror movies/thrillers like Blade or others.
@@kowalski9er273 the relative consistency of Carnotaurus designs probably has to do with the fact we have extremely extensive skin impressions from its fossils. Some things have changed- the general consensus is that the arms pointed back and were held against the torso unlike how Tyrannosaurs kept theirs sticking forwards- and there's still room for interpretation of the soft tissue in the shape of the keratinous horn sheathes and elsewhere, and obviously color, but the skin impressions sort of crystallize its appearance. Victory for those of you who are really vindictive about dinosaurs looking cooler without feathers I guess. You get this one.
I remember crawling into my mom's lapand crying whenever they were on screen. Over 20 years later and they still some how manage to put me on edge. Well done, Disney. Not many children's movies were able scar me for life that deeply.
Viewing the movie like this without any context whatsoever, it's just a simple story: The Tragedy of Carnotaurus. The story of a brave mute dinosaur trying to make ends meets in an increasingly hostile and barren environment. First they murder his spouse. And then when he tries to settle for scraps, literally going after an already wounded dinosaur and sparing the herd, one of the members of said herd murders him by throwing him off a cliff. Good night sweet prince. We barely knew thee.
What makes the Carnotaurs work is despite only having 5-6 minutes of screen time, their presence (or threat of appearing at any moment) is felt the moment they reappear after the opening of the film all the way until the last one bites the dust. They say not one word, they hunt our characters and constantly create a sense of fear and dread. They also have a chilling roar. The roar that occurs before the last Carnotaur appears in front of the herd is nightmare fuel. To me, this is why the villians of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown work to me, as they function a lot like the Carnotaurs.
I'm 14, and grew up with this film. My grandma has an old tv with movies and such. Ever since the ripe age of ca. 4½ I'd always watch this movie, and Littlefoot too. I have probably watched this movie over a hundred times. 😂 Me and my younger siblings refer to the movie as "Aladar", rather than "Dinosaur" cause we were young when we first labeled it. (I'm danish, so we grew up with the danish version.) This movie made me fall in love with dinosaurs as young, and I had this passion for a while. It wasn't really a superb expertise in the creatures, it was rather a subject I was interested in. I sadly lost the spark after reaching my teen years. Recently, I've been getting into it again. I have been researching T-rex, and Quetzelcoatlus in particular. Today at the dinner table, I explained the anatomy of T-rex, and Quetz, some interesting facts about dinosaurs based on present time studies, and some of the things the Jurassic franchise depicted inaccurately. My siblings found it very entertaining, which is just wonderful. They kept asking for more and more. 😂
Glad to see my brother and I weren't the only ones who called this movie differently. I actually found out recently that its name was "Dinosaur". We called it "Aladar's Journey", "Le voyage d'Aladar" in french. I still think this name is better 😅. We liked it so much that, when we were young, when we were going on a trip, my parents used to say "We're gonna make an Aladar's Journey." Have seen this movie recently, still like it.
Ghostface 2099, Because $$$ they play safe now. From Atlantis and this... To copy a Star Wars movie. 90s and 2000 Disney, is way better than these days.
@GA y Y AYYAYY YA YY ay y YYAGA Y Gaya yag ay GAYA GAGAYA Ygay yakashi fuck mehard bruh gay ya The most fucked up scene for me was when the Carno dragged that one Iguanodon that was with Bruton back by the tail and proceeded to rip into him. The fact they showed that, the Carno ripping off a chunk of meat and swallowing it. Like hot damn
I love how it has limited screen time, it’s not always seen but you know it’s always there. It’d be a little hard to believe that they always run into this thing, but they don’t, instead they know it’s out there and are hoping never to see it. That’s what makes this thing so scary, you don’t always see it but you feel it’s presence every second.
Late comment but whatever. I really love this movie exactly because of how they portrayed the Carnotaurus stalking and tracking the herd. They don't bump into each other often, and great cinematography makes their presence known, but never seen. It was what I loved the first few times I watched the movie, how the "villain" wasn't always presente, but just the notion that it was out there, somewhere, was enough to make a lot of the run of the movie very tense. It also helps that they chose a rocky terrain, the desolation and emptiness makes everything feel more intense.
Don't you just love how this is actually a children's movie, but at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="72">1:12</a>, the carnotaurus is just tearing chunks of flesh of an animal that had a voice just seconds ago. Ah, they don't make kids' movies like they used to...
An interesting twist would be a second film that has the Carnotaurus as the main characters, that just want to survive and let them talk and not the herbivours. Just a couple (male and female) that barely survived the asteroid impact, just wants to survive and find a place to have a family where there is enough food to raise their children, hence following the herbivours.
They should not scrap it in the first place because that is an excellent idea. Another suggestion is to make a remake/reboot of this film in order to make it popular again.
I remember this movie in cinema in 2000, it´s great movie, but I´am also surprised despite fact this is movie for children that there are Carnos which killing and eating other dinos. Some scenes are really scary.
The detail on these creatures is fantastic. The size of the Carnotaur, although inaccurate, works to it being a scary antagonist. Im not a critic, but I’ve loved dinosaurs my whole life. And regardless on how this movie is rated, it holds a special place in me, and the giant, scaly, spiky, deep red, horned Carnotaur will always be my favorite dinosaur from this movie.
@@tomaszhallay6653and prior to this, ran down a pachyrhinosaurus that had a head start and immediately crush its neck in one bite. They really roided out these guys to the point they put T-Rex to shame in terms of intelligence and physical capabilities while somehow still making them as swift as their namesake
Here's an interesting notion I've come across online - the last Carnotaur takes on the entire herd at once, even though before it only picked off stragglers. Why? It's suicidal with grief. It's companion, whether a mate or a family member, was the one thing it cared about, and Aladar and Bruton killed it. Only revenge is driving it forward now. Charging forth in the canyon is it trying to commit suicide by cop. Notice also, when it falls off the cliff, it makes no effort to save itself, but only tries to drag Aladar down with it. Only bit that doesn't fit in is it going after Kron. Maybe it mistook him for Bruton?
Your right but it still doesn’t make sense he could’ve got a large amount of kills if he didn’t listen to noise but at the same time his plan was probably to kill kron and pick off the rest of the herd
i have a different theory, at 2:56 you can see its leg is bleeding and i believe that slowed it down; it charged the herd trying to scare them because it couldn’t ambush them, which worked for the carnotaur at the beginning. that didn’t work, so the last carnotaur went after kron because he chose not to go with the rest of the herd (even though aladar and neera would have let him, the fight was over). at the end, after it whacks aladar, it doesn’t attack him or neera again as though it wants to eat its meal in peace. kron had died from having his bones broken on the rock and the hunt was already over. the carnotaur was scared as it fell and grabbed aladar with its head because there was no other option, but that wasn’t enough and it joined its mate in the afterlife.
My most fondest memory of this film is seeing the first clip in this compilation played as a short before the main presentation of the film I went to see. I always remember being so blown away as scenes like it had never really been seen before. A fully animated dinosaur film was a new thing. I wanted to see more of this than the actual film I went to see.
I know what you mean about it being fully animated, and I was pretty pumped about it as a kid too... but I my interest in dinosaurs at that age was starting to become...more cerebral, so BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs that released a year earlier excited me even more.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="71">1:11</a> Can we talk about the really morbid fact that we see the Carno ripping pieces of meat and flesh of the iguanodont that was dragged away? We literally saw a character get dragged of and eaten IN A KIDS MOVIE!!!! Edit:Changed hadrosaur to iguanodont because of species error. I apologize and thank you for correcting me
That look on the face, as well as the sound the Carnotaur makes at 1:11 is intimidating af. Yet I got a sense of satisfaction from it when I was a kid... funny.
By far one of my FAVORITE movies growing up. I was obsessed with dinosaurs and this movie was just… So amazing. The visuals still look good today! Plus the sound design is amazing. Their roars are so good!
It's a thunderstorm outside in the middle of the night and the one is just slowly pushing it's face through the water curtain, who wouldn't be terrified by that?
That entree into the cave is so cool. When the carnotaurus spots its pray it doesn't roar first like they always do in traditional Hollywood style, it just immediately starts its chase. Epic.
It's more of a subconscious realisation. They tried to make them as scary and monstrous as possible, so they pretty much doubled their size, took away their voices and made them red.
Yes because carnotaurs arent normall portrayed with red colors theyre more portrayed with brownish and sometimes blueish colors It was just specifically done in this movie
@Kota Bear I’ve heard somebody about that. At first, I thought the dinosaur look like this but when I look at the actual dinosaur it surprised me. This movie is a treasure in my books along with some these older movies. Me and my brother watch older movies when my parents went somewhere for vacation. I wish we picked this movie because I love dinosaurs and this movie too pieces. Though, it did scared me when I was younger. The ride at Disney world scared me to pieces when I was younger but, I eventually got older and enjoyed the ride so much.
@@Rinesmyth ooooooh! I wish mine was stuffed, since it wasn't it felt like it was gonna eat me at night 😂I was a kid and had mix feelings towards it, sometimes I loved it sometimes it freaked me out cause it looked as good as the one in the movie, although I watched the movie last week and they still do scare me a little😅.
I remember being obsessed with this movie ad a kid, but also getting REALLY scared from it at certain times. But I kept replaying it anyways because i loved it. I'm glad I've gotten to get reminded of it again, thinking of a rewatch 11 years later.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="255">4:15</a> together with the soundtrack made one of the most badass scenes I've ever seen in my entire life jesus freaking christ what a masterpiece
I have always had a fascination with dinosaurs, my father bought me everything about them. When I was little he gave me this movie.I will never forget the carnotaurus, I had nightmares with them and even went to sleep with my parents and dreamed that I woke up among them. to this day it's my favorite dinosaur movie
It reminds me of my beautiful childhood. I was a boy who loved dinosaurs. When I was three years old my parents gave me a videocassette of this movie. From then on, I watched this movie every day with my dinosaur book in hand. I cannot remember the story of this movie, but I remember all the expressions and movements of the dinosaurs in each scene. Thank you for uploading this video. from 25 yo Japanese guy
