Last week I got another great “family movie” in to review for all of you and let me tell you, this one was a BIG HIT with the family! It was just recently released onto DVD and Blu-ray on March 25th, 2014, so you can find it at many retailers nationwide.
Experience the spectacular story that brings dinosaurs to life and the viewer back in time. Directed by Barry Cook (Mulan, Arthur Christmas) and Neil Nightingale (Meerkats: The Movie) and the writer behind the hit film Happy Feet, Walking With Dinosaurs The Movie features heart-warming performances from an incredible ensemble of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Satisfy your omnivorous appetite with tons of interactive bonus content including:
• “The Ultimate Dino Guide” where hatchlings of all ages will be immersed in their own personal journey to uncover the greatest secrets about their favorite dinos.
• Test your skill by learning a whole new language with “Match the Call,” and hear how Dinos communicated with their friends and foes.
• “Interactive Map” takes the viewer on an interactive tour of where dinos roamed the earth, uncovering the same places people live today.
• Become a dino expert as you watch the movie and follow along with the pop-up “Brainosaur Trivia Track”
Synopsis: The gigantic voice talents of Justin Long (Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise) and John Leguizamo (Ice Age franchise) take you on a thrilling prehistoric journey the whole family will enjoy! In a time when dinosaurs rule the Earth, the smallest of the pack — a playful Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi — embarks on the biggest adventure of his life. As he tries to find his place in a spectacular world filled with fun-loving friends and a few dangerous foes, Patchi will discover the courage he needs to become the leader of the herd…and a hero for the ages.
Our Thoughts: There is something about dinosaurs that both kids and adults enjoy. Perhaps it because dinosaurs are from our past and we have never really seen them up close & personal. There is something mysterious, interesting and scary about them. Seeing them in museums and reading about them in books is totally different than seeing them on the big screen.
This movie is extremely well written and has a entertaining story line from start to finish. The dinosaurs look so real and when you see them you can almost feel them breathing on you…ALMOST! There is mystery, intrigue, adventure and fun! This movie has it all!
We sat down with all 5 of the kids and watched it with them. I thought it might be scary but it wasn’t and they loved it! It held their attention and even my hubby was glued to the screen watching it. A great addition to add to your video library!

This sounds like a wonderful movie to watch with my husband. I always love the tons of interactive bonus content that comes with a purchased DVD
My grandkids are going to love this movie, and I can’t wait for the laughs as we try to “Match the Call.”
