Una divertidisima forma de ver la prehistoria, con un ex-beatle Ringo dandonos lo mejor de su jocosidad, su disparatado humor y una poderosa interpretacion de un lider pequeño e intrepido, aunque algo tonto; lo mejor de todo es que no necesitas aprender idiomas, pues en cualquier parte del mundo entiendes esta historia, muy ingeniosa, por cierto; nos da a entender como el hombre primitivo casi que por casualidad descubre el fuego, aprende a caminar erguido, aprende a cocinar su comida...y aprende a identificar el vaerdadero amor; todos los personajes muy bien caracterizados (me mata de la risa el anciano ciego), Dennis Quaid hace un magnifico papel de amigo fiel, ingenuo y algo torpe, una Shelley Long que representa el amor simple, infantil y celoso pero verdadero y leal, y una Barbara Bach que nos muestra el esplendor de toda su belleza y un personaje "plastico" y engreido que al final recibe lo que se merece...y al final, NO SIEMPRE ES EL MAS FUERTE EL QUE SE LLEVA EL PREMIO.
PRE-CGI DINO MAYHEM. March 28, 2008

TO all those cynics who keep pointing out that man probably never co-existed with dinosaurs in the distant past: it would make a pretty pointless and dull film if the human element was kept out of all DINO-DRAMAS, just for the sake of 'accuracy'.......there would be no 'KING KONG' [in any form] and fantasy films such as these would decline to the level of standard soap-opera.
This film is a nice depature in the 'animated models' stakes, in that the design of the DINOS are distinctly cartoony, but still shot in a 'realistic' [for 1981 SP-FX] fashion. The humour-level is decidedly undergraduate, but for low-level pretense-free 'knockabout' comedy, it works fine. Effects are of a high standard, with dopey DINOS and pteros, and anyone who appreciates the RAY HARRYHAUSEN school of dimensional animation will definately find much to savour in this film.
Resolution is fine [I feared the worst, but it's definately a nice, clear enough pic]and overall this is a nicely-realized one-off production in the [pre-CGI]ANIMATED DINO stakes.

I bought this on the recommendation of the previous two reviewers and all I can say is UH?
Or should that be UG?
No wonder it was a flop at the cinema.
Dire! And as for "This is an educational movie" - PER-LEASE!! (I won't go on about dinosaurs not being about when man walked the earth, which is what One Million Years BC got canned for)
I'm giving it one star for the Starr (get it? - OK, please yourself, but that is about the level of the comedy in this film) for curiosity value. Might amuse a 5 year old but please do explain to them the inaccuracies - that monsters and men never met..........................................
Shame really as I like Ringo and his dry sense of humour.
Absolutely brilliant. June 6, 2005

What a superb film for entertainment !! I still wonder how the cast kept straight faces when filming this, and how much of the film was according to script (if there ever was one !).
The dinosaurs are super, with their little personalities, and the discoveries (music, roast chicken, fire, etc etc) are well presented.
A film of this calibre deserves a top position in your DVD collection !! Ignore anybody who says otherwise - they simply do no understand the purpose of entertainment.
