Aladar can also fight when the situation demands it, being able to hold his own against the larger and more powerful Kron by using his superior speed.

He is also strong enough to push a Carnotaur over the edge of a cliff. Appearances Dinosaur In Dinosaur, Aladar is first shown as an egg. A few moments later, a Carnotaur attacks the herd and Aladar's egg is abandoned. Just then, an Oviraptor steals the egg and hurries off into the jungle. It attempts to eat the egg, but then another Oviraptor swipes it, and the two brawl over the egg. As they brawl, they drop Aladar's egg into a river. As it is swept away by the current, it was swallowed, then spat out, by a Koolasuchus; floated up between a pair of quarreling Talarurus ; moved towards the river's center by a herd of drinking Pachyrhinosaurus ; and finally picked up by a Pteranodon that carries it far away to an island . Two Ichthyornis pester the Pteranodon and it drops the egg. The lemur inhabitants find the egg and it soon hatches. The lemurs name the baby Aladar and he grows up.

One evening, just after the lemur's mating ritual, Aladar and the lemurs notice comets falling from the sky when suddenly, a large asteroid crashes down. Aladar and four other lemurs ( Yar , Plio , Zini , and Suri ) escape the debris. Aladar utters a mournful roar for all the deceased lemurs. They soon wander through a barren wasteland when they are distracted by a passing Velociraptor . As they inspect it, other Raptors appear and start to chase them, but they manage to escape. Soon after, they encounter a herd of various dinosaurs ( Iguanodons , Parasaurolophus , Styracosaurus , Pachyrhinosaurus , Microceratus , Ornithomimus , and Stygimolochs ) led by Kron and his assistant Bruton . Aladar also encounters Neera , his love interest and Kron's sister, and three other dinosaurs at the back of the herd named Eema ( Styracosaurus ), Baylene ( Brachiosaurus ), and Url ( Ankylosaurus ). Later in the film, the herd migrates to a far-off lake but when they get there, the lake is dried up.

Kron musters the herd while Eema wanders to the barren lake and collapses. As Aladar comes to help, he hears rumbling under Baylene's footsteps. He and Zini dig a hole and ask Baylene to press hard on it, and sure enough, water comes out. Although Aladar stated there was enough water for everyone, all the dinosaurs in the herd push and shove each other for a drink, but were soon backed off by Kron who claimed the water for himself, and didn't allow any of the herd to have it. Early one morning while the other dinosaurs are asleep, Aladar gets some water for some young orphan Iguanodons which attracts Neera. As they get some water, Kron wakes up the rest of the herd as Bruton reported Carnotaurs nearby. The herd moves so quickly that they leave Aladar, his family, Baylene, Eema, and Earl behind. While walking that night, they encounter a wounded Bruton. They leave him be (as requested by Bruton) and then discover a cave as a thunderstorm starts. Later, Bruton joins them and two Carnotaurs attack the cave. Bruton sacrifices himself as the others escape deeper into the cave.

This also kills one of the Carnotaurs and the other one leaves. While going through the cave, the company encounters a dead end. However, they see light bursting through a hole in the dead end wall. After they all break it, they find the Nesting Grounds . Aladar is pleased, but soon wonders where the herd is. Eema shows Aladar where she and the others used to come in the valley. The normal way in was blocked off by a rockslide, so Aladar goes back to warn the herd. On his way back, Aladar sees a dead Stygimoloch. Then, a Carnotaur comes and it eats the dead dino as Aladar runs away. Aladar soon reaches the herd as Kron is about to make them climb the rocks. They fight and as Kron is about to strike Aladar, Neera intervenes by ramming into Kron and knocking him to the ground. She then walks beside Aladar as they lead the herd to the Nesting Grounds, leaving Kron behind. The Carnotaur then comes and the herd begins to panic. Aladar says that if they scatter, they'll be eaten. Then he tells them to stand together.

As Aladar faces the Carnotaur, Neera and the other dinosaurs in the herd join in. Roaring at the Carnotaur, they force it back and as Aladar keeps roaring at it, the rest of the herd walk past safely. The Carnotaur then turns its attention to Kron and it goes after him. Neera and Aladar follow close behind. Kron runs up the rocks and finds a cliff as the Carnotaur attacks. It throws him against a rock and is about to finish him off when Neera starts to shove the Carnotaur. It shoves Neera back and as it's about to get her, Aladar comes in. The Carnotaur pushes Aladar, but the resilient Iguanodon doesn't give up. He pushes the Carnotaur to the edge of the cliff. The ground beneath it crumbles and the Carnotaur falls to its death. After Aladar and Neera mourn for Kron's death, Aladar leads the rest of the herd to the Nesting Grounds. After saying, "Welcome home," the herd rushes past Aladar and Neera in joy. Sometime later, Aladar and Neera become mates and have a nest of their own.

Their first egg hatches as the lemurs, Eema, Baylene, Url, and a couple of orphaned Iguanodons that Neera had looked after come over to greet the hatchling. After the baby hatches, Aladar roars in joy, followed by his friends, and finally the whole herd. Disney Parks Aladar appeared in the introduction video at the Disney's Animal Kingdom ride DINOSAUR . You are to rescue him before the asteroid that killed all the dinosaurs hits. He's seen near the end of the ride holding up a fallen tree to let the guests ride safely through. You are able to rescue him, and when the ride is over Dr. Seeker, your guide for the ride, says that he had "better find him before security does." As guests exit, they can see him roaming the halls of the Dino Institute while Dr. Marsh and security teams scramble to catch him. When the Discovery River Boats ran around Animal Kingdom, guests could see Aladar playing in the water near Dinoland U.S.A. Gallery The Disney Wiki has a collection of images and media related to Aladar . Trivia Aladar's story is similar to Tarzan 's story.

Both have adopted families (Aladar by lemurs; Tarzan by gorillas), and both lose their biological mother's when they were babies because of a predator (Carnotaurs in Aladar's case; Sabor in Tarzan's case). However, both end up killing their enemies during their adulthood, where they meet their love interest (Aladar: Neera; Tarzan: Jane Porter ). They also both have male figures in the family who initially don't want them (Yar with Aladar; Kerchak with Tarzan, although Yar is less resentful and comes around quickly). Aladar has had several color changes. In the film, Aladar is blue on the top and grayish-peach on the bottom. While on the Storyteller cover, toy boxes, Activity Center cover and the video game covers, blue is replaced with green and dark peach is replaced with yellow (whereas on the Dinosaur Song Factory cover, Aladar looks the same from the film with a touch of green, while Aladar is brown on the DVD art). In an early concept for Dinosaur, Aladar was going to have grandparents and be called Noah.

Similar Heroes Baylene | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Baylene is a character in Disney 's 2000 CG film Dinosaur . She is an elderly, dainty Brachiosaurus. Contents Background Personality Baylene is kind, but has a sense of loneliness due to being the last of her kind. She calls herself "an old fool" for thinking she is worth anything due to her age, but thanks to Aladar , she learns to actually believe in herself. Indeed, she scolds Aladar for giving up when they are trapped in a cave, and then provides most of the strength required to break down the wall. Appearances Dinosaur Baylene is first seen when Aladar and his family run into the herd. As he heads in the opposite direction, he encounters Baylene with Eema and Url . After Aladar and his family decide to join the herd, the other members of the herd are instructed by Kron to find a place to sleep. As they do, they push and shove, much to Baylene's dismay. Aladar meets up with her and Eema and Url.

After introducing themselves to each other, Eema reveals that Baylene is the last of her kind. As Kron leads the herd to the far-off lake, Baylene comments that it looks like a long walk, and she is right. It takes many days to get to the lake, but once the herd arrives, they find that the lake is dried up. As the herd leaves, Eema goes to the lake bed, and moans about it. As Baylene walks to comfort her, Aladar hears something rumble under her feet. She lifts her foot, and Aladar and Zini dig a hole under it. Aladar then tells Baylene to press her foot in the hole, and out comes water. Aladar roars to get the herd's attention. Soon, the friends drink, until Kron and the herd come in and push and shove over the water, despite Aladar saying that there is enough for everyone. The next morning, the herd is suddenly awoken by Bruton . As Carnotaurs are nearby, Kron ushers the herd to move out quickly. Aladar then confronts Kron about slowing down for his friends, which leads to a brief battle between the two.

Then, Aladar runs to tell his friends of the Carnotaurs. As he hurries, he sees that his friends are struggling, and slows down for their sake, albeit losing the herd. As the group walks, they find Bruton seriously hurt. After he rejects their help, they head into a cave. Soon, Bruton joins them. Later that night, the Carnotaurs attack. Everyone heads deeper into the caves as Bruton fights the Carnotaurs, killing one, although he dies, too. The group keeps walking and sees a dead end. After Zini and Suri smell something, they dig at the dead end and make a hole, with a beam of light shining through. As Aladar tries to break the wall, the hole is covered up by falling rocks. As he keeps trying and failing, he begins to lose hope until Baylene scolds him for just giving up. She then helps to break down the wall. As she delivers one more hit to the wall, it collapses, and there in front of them is the Nesting Grounds . Then Baylene, calling Zini an amateur at jumping into water, jumps in the lake, which causes a good size wave compared to a lemur.

At the end of the movie, after Aladar leads the herd to the Nesting Grounds, she along with Aladar's other friends and family come to see Aladar and Neera 's eggs hatch. After the first one hatches, Aladar roars in triumph, which is joined by his family, friends, and soon the whole herd. Trivia Originally, Baylene was intended to be a younger male Brachiosaurus named Sorbus, and was described as a Chris Farley-type of character who was scared of heights (and was to be voiced by Farley before his death). [1] Gallery Zini | Heroes Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Zini is a lemur and a supporting character from Disney's 2000 CG film Dinosaur. He is voiced by Max Casella. Personality Zini likes making wisecracks and is very much into girl lemurs. He is Yar 's son, Suri 's uncle and Plio 's brother, as well as Aladar 's best friend. When he fails to attract any females during the mating ritual, he becomes a bit disappointed.

However, by the end of the film, he finds a number of girl lemurs on the Nesting Grounds who are all attracted to him, much to his joy. Appearances Dinosaur Zini is first seen in the movie as a child when a dinosaur egg falls on Lemur Island, where he lives with his father Yar and his sister Plio . As the other lemurs gather around the fallen egg, Zini tries to get closer but Yar stops him, telling him it's not safe. After the egg cracks, Zini's sister Plio opens the shell and is happy to see a baby Iguanodon. She holds the baby in her hands and decides that she will raise him. Yar objects because he says that one day he will eat them, but he eventually accepts the baby after it urinates on him, and Plio reaffirms him that the baby will learn not to eat meat; she names the baby Aladar . Yar reluctantly lets her keep the hatchling, but warns her that he may bite. Zini goes over to the baby Iguanodon and checks its mouth before saying: "This monster's got no teeth.

What's he gonna do, gum us to death?" Years later, Aladar has grown up a vegetarian dinosaur, thanks to Plio's care. Later, Aladar watches Zini, now a young adult lemur, as he practices lines for picking up girl lemurs. During the mating ritual, all the male lemurs are given a pep talk by Yar before they swing from their vines, and each attempts to get a female lemur. Every lemur ends up finding a mate except Zini, who snags his feet on a vine before he could even swing forward. By the time he unsticks himself, all the female lemurs have left, much to his disappointment. Aladar tries to comfort Zini, who seems to take it okay and believes he will get another chance at finding girls. Shortly after the ritual, Plio is present when a fireball falls from the sky, causing violent tremors. Other fireballs soon start falling, destroying the island. Plio urges Aladar to run and he takes her, Yar, Suri and Zini on his back, and they escape the island by jumping across the sea to the mainland.

Zini and the others are devastated that everyone on the island was killed by the fireballs, and that he and his family are the last ones of their kind. For the next few days, they wander through deserted lands until they find a dinosaur herd led by Kron . Zini is the first one to make a wisecrack to the high-and-mighty Iguanodon. Kron glares at Zini and his family and warns them to stay out of his way before heading on with his second-in-command Bruton and his sister Neera . Zini and the others learn that the herd is going to the Nesting Grounds. There, they befriend some of the elder dinosaurs: Baylene , Eema and Url who are at the end of the herd because they are too old to follow the rhythm of the others. After several days of rough marching, Bruton (who had been attacked by Carnotaurs ) informs Kron that Carnotaurs are following them so Kron decides to accelerate the pace, not caring if someone is left behind. Because of this, Aladar, the lemurs, Baylene, Eema and Url separate from the herd. On a rainy night, they find shelter in a cave.

They also find a wounded Bruton who has been banished from the herd by Kron. While Plio tends to Bruton's wounds, he asks her why she is giving them false hopes, but Plio reassures him that hope is the last thing that gets lost and that he is welcome to follow them. That night when two Carnotaurs attack them, everyone manages to escape deeper in the cave, but Bruton dies in the process while saving them, and the entrance of the cave is blocked by the falling rocks. Later, after wandering for hours in the cave, Suri and Zini start smelling something. Plio and Yar smell the same thing, and so they start digging through the rocks to discover a ray of light; however, more rocks fall and cover the exit. Aladar screams in frustration and gives up, but Baylene says that they didn't come this far only to give up, and so everyone starts to push the rocks until they discover something amazing: they have arrived at the Nesting Grounds. Plio is happy that they have finally arrived at their new home, and she with Yar watch happily as Suri, Zini and Baylene jump into the lake.

Aladar then goes to warn the rest of the herd about the cave entrance. Months later, Aladar and Neera have babies of their own, and Zini is seen surrounded by many girl lemurs who all want to date him, much to his delight. Dinosaur (2000) DINOSAUR Directed: Eric Leighton and Ralph Zondag Screenplay: Walon Green Written: Thom Enriquez, John Harrison, Robert Nelson Jacobs, Ralph Zontag, et al. Produced: Pam Marsden, Baker Bloodworth Music: James Newton Howard Key Assistant Animator: Yancy Calzada (a guy who e-mailed me about these pages) Summary: Dinosaurs frolick all bucolic until a predator attacks (I thought it was a T-Rex, but Howard and his 4-year-old daughter tell me it's a Carnotaurus).

One egg survives uncrunched but an oviraptor runs awaywith it, it falls into a river, is eaten and spit out, it bobs, a pterodon brings it to its young, but it falls finally into an island forest where a family of lemurs witness the hatching and consider adopting what the patriarch calls a "cold-blooded monster." He thinks it'll be vicious; gently-snarkier-than-thou mother lemur thinks it's a "baby." Although the father says "things like that eat things like us as snacks," when he holds it at arms' length and the thing adorably defecates, he is won over. Cut to a terrifying chase where a three-ton dinosaur is chasing young lemurs, finally eating one. Actually though, this is Aladar, now an adolescent Iguanodon, playing with his adoptive siblings -- he didn't swallow. We ritualistically enter into some extreme gender-separation for love-coaching by the elder lemurs. Aladar trots the males, a "buffet table of love," over to the prom-tree where crazed lemurs fling themselves onto various vines and pair up like panicked freshman the first week and a half of fall semester.

One obnoxious male from the main family remains unmated. Poor whoever. A meteor shower in the distance at first is disturbing and then approaches. Flaming chaos erupts sending Aladar and his lemur family running off the island into the sea. Afterwards the island is charred and we all trek to new land where velociraptors attack. So we join a dinosaur convoy from desert land consisting of various species, but driven mercilessly by the harsh Kron. Aladar sympathizes with a few of the older dinosaurs in the back -- especially Baylene (a brachiosaur) and Eema (who I read was a tricerotops, but the 3-year-old son of Dr. Michael Ramer correctly identifies as a Styracasaurus). Kron's sister Neera considers Aladar a "jerkasaurus" and the formerly unpaired lemur on his back, as self-appointed "love monkey," takes a leering interest in the inevitable match. The pace is strainful in the hideous sun, and predators constantly loom. When a promised lake proves dried, Aladar discovers that by digging a bit and pressing, one can create puddles. After a greedy stampede, the dinosaurs rest.

Aladar continues helping frightened young Iguanodons, impressing Neera, who we later see helping stragglers now. With Carnotaurs as a threat even "this far north," Kron insists they press on to the breeding grounds. The old ones can't keep up, come across one of Kron's crabby scouts wounded, hide in a cave when it rains. The wounded one, formerly attacked, assumes he'll die and doesn't comprehend this new welfare system, but allows himself to be helped into the cave by Aladar where a lemur brings some healing plants. When the predators attack, the scout allows the others to escape deeper into the cave and sacrifices himself to a created cave-in. Our group hits a dead-end deep inside the cave. A beam of light is discovered, but in Aladar's attempt to bust through, he brings down a wall of rock. Baylene inspires him and the others to ram at the wall together, which brings them to the fertile valley, the nesting grounds. Eema finds that the former entrance is blocked, so Aladar goes back through the cave to find the misguided herd.

Kron is outraged at this hierarchical broach and fights Aladar, but Neera intervenes and the herd prepares to follow Aladar. A Carnotaur approaches, but Aladar insists that if they scatter they'll be picked off. They all bellow at the predator, who is baffled and eventually goes after Kron, who has been trying to climb the rock pile at the old entrance to the breeding grounds. Aladar and Neera help and Aladar knocks the attacker into a crevice, but they are too late to save Kron. After some solemn and bird-like intertwining of draping necks, we're all back at the nesting grounds, looking at eggs, hatchlings, and adorable defecations. Also that lemur finds a batch of females. A hopeful last voice-over suggests that "our journey's not over ... in some small way our time will be remembered." Commentary: Believe me, no one is more surprised than I am at the fact that I loved this film.

I went in with grim expectations of Land Before Time smarm, and maybe that's why I wasn't shrieking at the modest plot here, which does nevertheless raise some questions: dinosaurs are not salmons -- so why is there a so-called "nesting ground" which, paradoxically, seems to be known only to the older dinosaurs as a distant memory? And why is this place far beyond the site where there used to be an oasis anyway? And why do dinosaurs want to come in out of the rain, especially considering this environmental dehydration? why can some dinosaurs speak and others, particularly crafty predators, can't? why does any of this breeding matter? The sense that they're all goners is fairly pervasive and Aladar and Neera's final hatching does not produce a feathery mutant. In any case the film combines computer animation with digitally enhanced live-action backgrounds, and this works fabulously. Here too one is rightfully suspicious. A trailer shown before Dinosaur for an upcoming outer space cartoon film had glorious special effects and the crappiest looking characters since Speed Racer. In Dinosaur too, most effective are the chase scenes, firy explosive meteor showers, cave-ins, and violence of that sort.

But even calmer scenes are visually effective and breathtaking here. Textures, colors, shadowing, and all visuals are terrific. Even the opening scene, a close-up of dinosaur skin, was visually magnificent. Dinosaur (film) | Dinosaur Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Share Dinosaur is a 2000 American live-action/computer-animated science fiction adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation with Secret Lab . The film was released by Walt Disney Pictures on May 19 , 2000 and is the 39th film and the first computer-animated film in the Disney Animated Canon . At officially $127.5 million, it was the most expensive theatrical movie release of the year. While the main characters in Dinosaur are computer-animated, most of the film's backgrounds were filmed on location. A number of backgrounds were found in Canaima National Park in Venezuela; various tepuis and Angel Falls also appear in the film.

Contents [ show ] Plot The film revolves around the life of an Iguanodon named Aladar who is taken from his nest as File:33931 133312876716925 104758479572365 169400 8052316 n.jpg of various dinosaurs, led by an Iguanodon named Kron and his lieutenant Bruton. Other herd members include elderly Brachiosaurus Baylene, Styracosaurus Eema, dog-like Ankylosaurus Url, and Kron's younger sister Neera. Aladar and the lemurs accompany the herd across a desert to reach a nearby breeding File:29152 105303696184510 104758479572365 48255 4736038 n.jpg ground the herd has visited before. However, they are stalked first by a pack of Velociraptors and later by a pair of Carnotaurus, referred to as "Carnotaurs" in the film.

The herd stops at a lake that appears to be dried up, but the water is revealed to be underground, by Aladar hearing it underneath because he had been trying to get Baylene and Eema across. Later that day,Carnotaurs begin stalking the herd, sending the herd into a panicked flurry. Aladar, the lemurs, Eema, Baylene, Url and Bruton are all left behind and regroup in a series of caves. The Carnotaurs attack them, but Bruton sacrifices himself to allow the others to flee, one of the Carnotaurs killed in the process. The group flee to the back of the caverns, then smash down a wall to reveal a path straight into the breeding ground. Eema spots that the usual entrance has been blocked off, prompting Aladar to find Kron and the rest of the herd. Kron, Neera and the herd are on the other side of the blocked off entrance, Kron ordering that the herd climb impossibly over the wall. Aladar arrives and suggests the route through the caves due to a sheer drop on the other side that would kill the herd, which Kron objects to and accuses Aladar of stealing his role as leader.

The two fight until Neera steps in and defends Aladar, deciding to go with him and the herd through his route. The surviving Carnotaur appears, causing the herd to go into a panic. Aladar convinces the herd that the only way they can survive is by standing together. They fend off the Carnotaur and get past it, but the Carnotaur then notices Kron, who had refused to follow Aladar, and decided he would climb the wall to get to the nesting grounds. The Carnotaur begins to chase Kron down. Neera notices this, and rushes to try to aid her brother, soon followed by Aladar. In the fight that ensues, Kron is fatally wounded by the Carnotaur. Aladar forces the Carnotaur onto a cliff edge that collapses, sending it plummeting to its death. Neera comes to Kron but it is too late. The herd reaches the breeding ground, led by Aladar. Aladar and Neera have children as well as the rest of the herd, and the lemurs find more of their kind. Cast D. B.

He serves as the main protagonist of the film. Alfre Woodard as Plio , a lemur (Coquerel's Sifaka) matriarch who cares for her family. Ossie Davis as Yar , a lemur patriarch whose occasional gruff demeanor is just a front covering his more compassionate interior. He is the father of Plio and Zini and the grandfather of Suri. Max Casella as Zini , Aladar's stepuncle and wisecracking sidekick, Yar's son, Suri's uncle and Plio's brother. Hayden Panettiere as Suri , Aladar's stepsister, Zini's little niece, Plio's daughter and Yar's granddaughter. Samuel E. Wright as Kron , an Iguanodon leading a herd of dinosaur survivors who is characterized by a strict adherence to social Darwinist theory. He believes in survival of the fittest, which repeatedly clashes with Aladar's merciful manner.

Apart from the Carntaurs, Kron is the main antagonist of the film. Julianna Margulies as Neera , Kron's sister, who ends up falling in love with Aladar because of his compassionate ways. Peter Siragusa as Bruton , Kron's domineering right-hand assistant. He is betrayed and left for dead by Kron, and ultimately gives his life to kill one of the Carnotaurs to save Aladar, the lemurs, and the weak dinosaurs. Joan Plowright as Baylene , an elderly and dainty Brachiosaurus (technically a Giraffatitan due to her identification as B. brancai). Della Reese as Eema , a wizened, elderly and slow-moving Styracosaurus , and Url's companion. Throughout the film, Velociraptors and Carnotaurus make appearances, but are not given voices. Early on, a Carnotaur attack precipitates the events that lead to Aladar's adoption by Plio and the lemurs. Later on, a group of Velociraptors chase Aladar down and later stalk the herd until they are scared away by a pair of Carnotaurs, who consistently stalk the herd in their search for food.

The first Carnotaur was killed by Bruton, who sacrificed himself to save Aladar and the others during a cave-in. The second and last one was killed during a fight with Aladar on a top of a cliff, where it starts to break under its weight, causing it to fall to its death. Production While a dinosaur-related computer-animated film had been contemplated for over a decade, the film finally went into production when it did, as "the technology to produce the stunning visual effects" had come about - a few years before Dinosaur's eventual release in 2000. The CGI effects are coupled with "real-world backdrops to create a 'photo-realistic' look". The crew went all around the world, in order to "record dramatic nature backgrounds" for the film, which were then "blended with the computer-animated dinosaurs". Disney said that the over-$100 million visual effects "make the film an 'instant classic'". The concept for the film was originally conceived by Paul Verhoeven and Phil Tippett in 1988 and was pitched as a stop-motion animated film with the title Dinosaurs.

The film's original main protagonist was a Styracosaurus and the main antagonist was originally a Tyrannosaurus Rex . The film was originally going to be much darker and violent in tone and would end with the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which would ultimately result in the deaths of the film's characters. Paul Verhoeven and Phil Tippett pitched the idea to Disney , only to have the idea for the film shelved away with the onset of the Disney Renaissance until the mid-1990s. The film was originally supposed to have no dialogue at all, in part to differentiate the film from The Land Before Time with which Dinosaur shares plot similarities. Michael Eisner insisted that the film have dialogue in order to make it more "commercially viable". A similar change was also made early in the production of The Land Before Time, which was originally intended to feature only the voice of a narrator. The film's score was composed by James Newton Howard . Pop singer/songwriter Kate Bush reportedly wrote and recorded a song for the film but due to complications the track was ultimately not included on the soundtrack.

Template:Citation needed According to HomeGround, a Kate Bush fanzine, it was scrapped when Disney asked Bush to rewrite the song and Bush refused; however, according to Disney, the song was cut from the film when preview audiences did not respond well to the track. In Asia, pop singer Jacky Cheung 's song Something Only Love Can Do, with versions sung in English, Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese, was adopted as the theme song for the film. The Countdown to Extinction attraction at the Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park, was renamed and re-themed to the movie. It is now known as DINOSAUR . The storyline was always intended to tie in with the movie, considering the usage of a Carnotaurus as the ride's antagonist and Aladar as the Iguanodon that guests rescue from the meteor and take back into the present, seen wandering the Dino Institute in Security Camera footage seen on monitors in the attraction's unloading area. George Scribner was the original director of the film. Scribner spent two years on it and left to join Walt Disney Imagineering . But fundamentally, the story was pretty much the same after he left.

Though Eric Leighton, one of the directors, spoke about his team "want[ing] to learn as much about dinosaurs as possible", he also admitted that they would "cheat like hell" because they were not creating a documentary. A Disney press kit revealed that the film "intentionally veers from scientific fact in certain aspects". In reality, the film cheated in multiple ways in regard to: how the "dinosaurs are depicted" and how they "are presented in an evolutionary context". Dinosaur combines the use of live-action backgrounds with computer animation of prehistoric creatures, notably the titular dinosaurs, produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation 's Computer Graphics Unit that was later merged with Dream Quest Images to create Disney's The Secret Lab department. The Secret Lab department closed in 2002. Vision Crew Unlimited provided the live-action special visual effects. Marketing Following in the footsteps of The Lion King , Disney advertised the film by "releasing the opening scene as a trailer". The EmpireOnline project Your Guide To Disney's 50 Animated Features described this as a "smart move" because "taken by itself, the prelude to Dinosaur is an extraordinary achievement (still impressive now), showing a verdant and vibrant world teeming with darn convincing dinosaurs".

And how dare you waste that good fortune by simply giving up? Shame on you.

Shame on you, shame on you! The worst of it is, you allowed an old fool like me to believe I was needed, that I still had a purpose... and do you know what? You were right. And I'm going to go on believing it. And I, for one, am not willing to die here! Neera : You like kids, I see. Aladar : Well, the skinny ones are a bit chewy. [Aladar has male courting monkey's on his back] Aladar : Hey ladies, look at what just pulled into town! Your buffet table of love! Aladar : [waking up the others] Let's go, let's go! Carnotaurs!

All this pushing and shoving about, just for a place to sleep! I'm not used to this kind of behavior. Eema : Baylene, you've got big feet, just give 'em a kick! [Shoves a smaller animal] Aladar | Dinosaur Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia [ show ] Personality Aladar is compassionate and merciful. He is against Kron 's ways of "only the strongest survive." Therefore, he does everything he can to help weaker dinosaurs such as Eema and Baylene . He loves his lemur family, referring to Yar as his grandfather, despite their species differences. He also acts like a big brother to Suri and Zini . Aladar falls in love with Neera , Kron's younger sister, who is considerably more compassionate than her brother. Despite his dislike of Kron, Aladar displayed sorrow when Kron was killed by a Carnotaur .

Aladar also seems to be a natural leader, which fueled his rivalry with Kron who feared he was trying to take his place as leader of the herd. When the herd was attacked by a Carnotaur, Aladar encouraged them to "stand together." Aladar can also fight when the situation demands it, being able to hold his own against the larger and more powerful Kron by using his superior speed. He is also strong enough to push a Carnotaur over the edge of a cliff. Appearances Dinosaur In Dinosaur, Aladar is first shown as an egg. A few moments later, a Carnotaur attacks the herd and Aladar's egg is abandoned. Just then, an Oviraptor steals the egg and hurries off into the jungle. It attempts to eat the egg, but then another Oviraptor swipes it, and the two brawl over the egg. As they brawl, they drop Aladar's egg into a river. As it is swept away by the current, a Pteranodon picks up the egg and it carries it far away to an island. Two birds pester the Pteranodon and it drops the egg. The lemur inhabitants find the egg and it soon hatches.

The lemurs name the baby Aladar and he grows up. One evening, just after the lemur's mating ritual, Aladar and the lemurs notice comets falling from the sky. Then, suddenly, a large asteroid crashes down. Aladar and four other lemurs ( Yar , Plio , Zini , and Suri ) escape the debris. Aladar utters a mournful roar for all the deceased lemurs. They soon wander through a barren wasteland when they are distracted by a passing Velociraptor . As they inspect it, other Raptors appear and start to chase them, but they manage to escape. Soon after, they encounter a herd of various dinosaurs ( Iguanodons , Parasaurolophus , Styracosaurus , Pachyrhinosaurus , Microceratops, Ornithomimus, and Stygimolochs ) led by Kron and his assistant Bruton . Aladar also encounters Neera , his love interest and Kron's sister, and three other dinosaurs at the back of the herd named Eema ( Styracosaurus ), Baylene (Brachiosaurus), and Url (Ankylosaurus).

Later in the film, the herd migrates to a far-off lake but when they get there, the lake is dried up. Kron musters the herd while Eema wanders to the barren lake and collapses. As Aladar comes to help, he hears rumbling under Baylene's footsteps. He and Zini dig a hole and ask Baylene to press hard on it, and sure enough, water comes out. Although Aladar stated there was enough water for everyone, all the dinosaurs in the herd push and shove each other for a drink, but were soon backed off by Kron who claimed the water for himself, and didn't allow any of the herd to have it. Early one morning while the other dinosaurs were asleep, Aladar gets some water for some young orphan iguanodons which attracts Neera. As they get some water, Kron wakes up the rest of the herd as Bruton reported Carnotaurs nearby. The herd moves so quickly that they leave Aladar, his family, Baylene, Eema, and Earl behind. While walking that night, they encounter a wounded Bruton. They leave him be (as requested by Bruton) and then discover a cave as a thunderstorm starts.

Later, Bruton joins them and two Carnotaurs attack the cave. Bruton sacrifices himself as the others escape deeper into the cave. This also kills one of the Carnotaurs and the other one leaves. While going through the cave, the company encounters a dead end. However, they see light bursting through a hole in the dead end wall. After they all break it, they find the Nesting Grounds . Aladar is pleased, but soon wonders where the herd is. Eema shows Aladar where she and the others used to come in the valley. The normal way in was blocked off by a rockslide, so Aladar goes back to warn the herd. On his way back, Aladar sees a dead Stygimoloch. Then, a Carnotaur comes and it eats the dead dino as Aladar runs away. Aladar soon reaches the herd as Kron is about to make them climb the rocks. They fight and as Kron is about to strike Aladar, Neera intervenes by ramming into Kron and knocking him to the ground. She then walks beside Aladar as they lead the herd to the Nesting Grounds, leaving Kron behind. The Carnotaur then comes and the herd begins to panic.

Aladar says that if they scatter, they'll be eaten. then he tellls them to stand together. As Aladar faces the Carnotaur, Neera and the other dinosaurs in the herd join in. Roaring at the Carnotaur, they force it back and as Aladar keeps roaring at it, the rest of the herd walk past safely. The Carnotaur then turns its attention to Kron amd it goes after him. Neera and Aladar follow close behind. Kron runs up the rocks and finds a cliff as the Carnotaur attacks. It throws him against a rock and is about to finish him when Neera starts to shove the Carnotaur. It shoves Neera back and as its about to get her, Aladar comes in. The Carnotaur pushes Aladar, but the resilient Iguanodon doesn't give up. He pushes the Carnotaur to the edge of the cliff. The ground beneath it crumbles and the Carnotaur falls to its death. After Aladar and Neera mourn for Kron's death, Aladar leads the rest of the herd to the Nesting Grounds. After saying, "Welcome home," the herd rushes past Aladar and Neera in joy.

Sometime later, Aladar and Neera become mates and have a nest of their own. Their first egg hatches as the lemurs, Eema, Baylene, Url, and a couple of orphaned Iguanodons that Neera had looked after come over to greet the hatchling. After the baby hatches, Aladar roars in joy, followed by his friends, and finally the whole herd. Disney Parks Aladar appeared in the introduction video at the Disney's Animal Kingdom ride DINOSAUR . You are to rescue him before the asteroid that killed all the dinosaurs hits. He's seen near the end of the ride holding up a fallen tree to let the guests ride safely through. You are able to rescue him, and when the ride is over Dr. Seeker, your guide for the ride, says that he had "better find him before security does." Gallery Template:Gallerylink Trivia Aladar's story is similar to Tarzan 's story. Both have adopted families (Aladar by lemurs; Tarzan by gorillas), and both lose their biological mother when they were babies because of a predator (Carnotaurs in Aladar's case; Sabor in Tarzan's case).

However, both end up killing their enemies during their adulthood, where they meet their love interest (Aladar: Neera; Tarzan: Jane Porter ). They also both have male figures in the family who initially don't want them (Yar with Aladar; Kerchak with Tarzan, although Yar is less resentful). Aladar has had several color changes. In the film, Aladar is blue on the top and grayish-peach on the bottom. While on the Storyteller cover, toy boxes, Activity Center cover and the video game covers, blue is replaced with green and dark peach is replaced with yellow (whereas on the Dinosaur Song Factory cover, Aladar looks the same from the film with a touch of green, while Aladar is brown on the DVD art). This movie is also like The Land Before Time. All plant eating dinosaurs live in safe place from predators just like The Land Before Time have at the Great Valley.
