Walking With Dinosaurs could've easily been a Disney movie.
The formula is all in there -- the underdog, the childhood sweetheart, courage and rising to the occasion to emerge victorious in the end.
Applause?
Not.
Walking With Dinosaurs has Justin Long lending his voice to the protagonist, Patchy, a Pachyrhinosaurus, who meets Juniper (Tiya Sircar) as a child and falls in love with her.
While their herd is on its annual migration, Patchy, his brother, Scowler (Skylar Stone) and Juniper get separated from the group. Patchy must now guide an injured Juniper back to the safety of the group if they wish to survive the harsh, oncoming winter.
The truth is that Walking With Dinosaurs is not a great film and the makers know it too -- which is probably why they added the 3D, just to make things look cooler. But even the 3D can’t save this film. The BBC documentary of the same name had done a much better job of things.
Walking With Dinosaur’s only redeeming features are the enjoyable commentary by a Latin American accented bird called Alex (John Leguizamo) -- all of this happens in pre-historic Alaska, mind you -- and the information about dinosaurs with explanations
