this is so real i for so long have been searching for this movie thinking it was the biggest fever dream and then found it today and now I know forsure its real😂
I want the hot dogs and brain grain to eat. I also want that jar of brain drain so I could fill my outdoor garden lights, garden lighthouse, night lights, esc with those bright glowing pills just to use for the bright forever glowing without needing a charge feature.
I love the animation they use when turning a “slightly” realistic T-Rex into a much more cartoony design once he gets knowledge from the Brain Grain. It’s details like that I really appreciate in animation.
That “slightly realistic” look of what REX used to be looks a little like the kind that was seen on The Land Before Time. Except Rex had a 3rd extra finger instead on each hand of only 2.
2D animation never dies. In fact, it has got more traction than CGI ever did recently. People got so sick of CGI animation that lacked any human artistry for years. They wanted 2D animation to come back into the limelight after years of neglect by Hollywood itself. Animation itself is for everyone, and it's an art medium as a whole. What these suits from Disney, Hollywood, etc don't understand is that Animation is a human art in of itself, not just for kids but by adults, teens and elders can enjoy the art of animation as a whole.
As a kid I was wondering why the hell would they give a triceratops and a hadrosaur hotdogs considering they were herbivores. But, now with recent studies showing triceratops and hadrosaurs might be able to eat meat making them omnivores shows this movie was ahead of its time
There are animals today making people think on the kind of diet some animals really have and plus it could be vegetarian hot dogs, but the mutation the dinosaurs gotten may have also effected their diets as well.
In a documentary, Herbivores may have had to eat grubs from rotting wood when their environments brought in long, cold winters. Bugs literally have everything one needs to survive when no leaves or berries could grow! ^^
I really wish Universal did more with this movie. I know they already have Jurassic Park, but I would especially love to see them at Universal Theme Parks.
I used to watch it when I was a kid. I thought I found it very entertaining. It's probably one of the most underrated 1990s films of all time. The voice acting is pretty decent especially from John Goodman himself. Good morning from Ireland 🇮🇪
This movie is like an unfinished landscape. It has elements of beauty, comedy, and emotion, but it feels like it is missing something huge, something that makes it truly good or even great. Maybe adding more scenes in the middle would make the film seem more complete.
I watched this movie when I was super young when it came out and for some reason today I had a flashback to the scene where the trex is eating all the hotdogs ..... I don't understand why but thanks for posting this to scratch the nostalgia itch
I was talking to my friend today and I remembered this movie, I told her about it and she said she never watched it. Honestly I think the only reason I liked this movie was because of Rex’s voice actor, I seriously loved his voice.
Irony: The Brain Grain may have made the dinosaurs more humble and sweet, but it didn’t improve their intelligence. If anything, it made them dumber as they get into many incidents since they eat the cereal whereas pre-grained Rex is seen easily capturing prey.
I think 'naive' would be a proper term, in my honest opinion. From what we 'know' or 'knew' back in the 90s, was that a T-Rex brain was the size of a tennis ball, which it isn't. They, like all animals had to be capable of learning how to hunt for food and getting it on a day-to-day basis, growing up to raising their own offspring, and protecting them. This is a cartoon that puts a 'human spin' on prehistoric reptiles that get lost in New York City! It's cartoonish fun that has the childhood dream of seeing real dinosaurs! ^^
Any prehistoric animal back then would of been too confused of what they were seeing of modern day Earth compared to the wilderness of the Mesozoic. But the Brain Grain definitely gave them sentience and awareness of others around them, which many animals lack no matter their wild intelligence.
I've always loved the word "Lunch"... and I'm pretty sure this movie is why! 😂 the scene with the hotdogs has ALWAYS had my heart (and my stomach) so I'm pretty sure it's connotation 🤷♀️. Lunch = Unattainable Cartoon Hotdogs
I don't understand how this scene about a t rex getting his head clamped in a floating pirate ship and then being force fed some kind of golden cereal until he turns into a cartoon actually got animated. Seriously!
Walt Disney said "If you can dream it, you can do it, and don't let anybody say you can't". This is my biggest dream goal of bringing the 2-D animated style from Disney once again and I'll save the Hollywood for stopping all these ridiculous madness.
I remeber coming home from hobby lobby one day and just wanted to watch this movie over and over again. It's still one of my favorite movies. Oliver and company beats this but it's still such a good movie I love rex and dweeb
I remember towards the end of this movie the Pterodactyl told the T-Rex “Everytime you look at me I think about laying an egg” or something along those lines. 💀
Me too, I remember watching this movie on Toon Disney and later own this movie on the VHS back in the 2000s era after I was born on September 23rd, 1997.
Well to be fair, it is not impossible that herbivorous dinosaurs had some meat in their diets, for example we have evidence that some hadrosaurs had crustaceans in their diet, which modern herbivores also have been documented eating meat, like deer eating carrion (dead animals), or cows eating chicks.
@@calvinlam7272 There are many why herbivores consume meat. One being it’s easy nutrition. Meat’s actually easier to digest than plants, that’s why herbivores have the longest digestive tracts and larger stomachs (and in the case of ruminants, multi-chambered ones), that’s why some herbivores spit up and re-chew their food or, like with rabbits, eat their own droppings to get extra nutrition from them. Another could be dietary supplementation. Like eating bones for extra calcium. There are a few things that are easier to get from animal-based sources than plant-based ones. Another is scarcity. If their normal food sources are low, they’ll go for what they can get. If they find a carcass in winter when finding plant-based food sources is hard then they’ll go for that. It’s common sense. And sometimes maybe they just like the taste. (Someone else) I used to have a cat, an obligate carnivore, the complete opposite of an herbivore, that liked steamed asparagus. He didn’t really get anything out of it, he just liked the taste, especially of the tips. I’m sure there’s some herbivores out there that just like the taste of meat or eggs. And since it’s easier to digest than asparagus is they’d get more out of it than my cat nibbling on leftover asparagus. That brings up another point. Behavioral omnivory is actually pretty common. American alligators have been seen intentionally eating fallen fruits for example. And then there was the deer caught nibbling on human remains on a “body farm” where they study human decomposition in various situations. It could be fair to say behavioral omnivory is well within the norm in nature.
Why Steven Spielberg highly anticipated something like this and released it by too much of a coincidence the same year his Jurassic Park film was released will alway be a mystery to me. What was going on in his head?
I read that the idea was to capitalize on “Jurassic Park” fever by offering a family-friendly alternative. While the grownups/older teens were seeing that movie, the younger kids could see this and not feel left out.
It's funny that upon gaining intelligence,all of the dinosaurs have drastic changes to their physical appearance. Whats also funny, is that intelligence does not mean one knows facts out of nothing. Yet in this scene we see the dinosaurs not only know how to count and use math. But also know what music is and even know a simple children's song.
You know I liked dinosaurs as a kid since even as a kindergartener watching this movie I felt confused about why two herbivore-dinosaurs were eating sausages.
This movie is making me question - A; the Moral Implications of feeding grain-based products to a _Predator._ B; the Moral Implications of feeding meat to a _Herbivore._ C; the Moral Implications of granting sapience to a non-sapient creature. Could you imagine how traumatizing it must be for an animal who has survived based purely on instinct to suddenly become _aware?_
I'd be interested in the live action remake of this movie, as long as it is respectful to its source material, and as long as the dinosaurs and pterosaurs are paleo-accurate to modern standards. 😊
