content to this list we’re looking at
the best films that contain dinosaurs
regardless of how big or small a role
they play in the overall plot
number 10 Jurassic world
[Music]
22 years after the original baffled us
audiences were finally treated to a
fourth of the Jurassic Park movie and if
the over 1 billion dollar in worldwide
box-office revenue is any indication
they were psyched we want to make sure
oh don’t Leon
a popcorn thriller of the highest order
Jurassic world capitalizes on the
nostalgia factor by bringing many of the
same elements to the table as its
predecessor but modernizes the idea of a
dinosaur amusement park and not to
please modern audiences it also realises
the inherent problem with humans playing
God by introducing a brand new
genetically modified killing machine
with Chris Pratt leading the pack of
terrifyingly realistic Raptors Jurassic
world is worth the watch for sheer
entertainment value alone
[Music]
number 9 1 million years BC hey we
didn’t say it had to be historically
accurate to make our list 1 million
years BC gives us dinosaurs living
alongside cavemen despite the fact that
they lived literally millions of years
apart in fact our main characters meet
several dinosaurs over the course of the
film and even witness an epic battle
between a Ceratosaurus and the
Triceratops while many people enjoy this
movie for Raquel Welch’s fur bikini-clad
character it’s Ray Harryhausen’s massive
stop-motion dinosaurs that really take
us back to the time when dinosaurs ruled
the earth
number 8 ice age dawn of the dinosaurs
what are you doing here our friend was
taken by a dinosaur well he’s dead
welcome to my world in the third
installment in the Ice Age franchise our
favorite herd returns and comes into
contact with dinosaurs longing for a
family of his own
since adopts three abandoned eggs
intending to raise them but shockingly
they hatch into baby Tyrannosaurus hello
the group soon discovers a tropical
world located beneath the ice that’s
actually inhabited by dinosaurs hitting
many of the same notes in the first two
of the series to keep fans happy dawn of
the dinosaurs features terrific
animation especially of the dinos in
fact many critics consider this the best
film in the franchise the dinosaurs
always work mama
[Music]
take good care of my kids number seven
walking with dinosaurs for all the kids
out there who can’t get enough dinosaurs
this film features phenomenal special
effects that bring the creatures to life
the plot revolves around a herd of Pocky
rhinosaurus particularly two brothers
who are forced to mend their
relationship when their families killed
by carnivores I meant run away
this one was planned to ensure as most
accuracy as possible for example several
paleontologists acted as consultants in
the film and the locations were chosen
because of their similarities to the
dinosaurs surroundings though the mixed
reviews said walking with dinosaurs with
juvenile and predictable the 3d effects
compensate for that and help the
dinosaurs spring back from extinction
remember like a spell fear sorry that’s
not fear number six the good dinosaur
which one did you say moved the one on
the left
[Music]
it was only a matter of time before
Pixar got in on the dinosaur game and
although this star-studded effort
actually turned out to be Pixar’s lowest
grossing movie it’s still a charming and
visually impressive tale exploring what
would have happened had the earth not
being hit by an asteroid that caused the
dinosaurs extinction the good dinosaur
features a young upon a source named
Arlo as its main character and he
befriends a cave boy whom he names spot
ironically it’s the human who assumes
the role is the pet and the two quickly
bond over their shared dramatic paths
tear-jerking and ambitious it’s Dino fun
to the whole family
sometimes you gotta get through your
fear to see the beauty on the other side
number 5 King Kong
whether we’re watching our main
characters run from a dinosaur stampede
or seeing a showdown between Kong and
not one not two but three D Rex
King Kong just wouldn’t be the same
without its deadly dinos the Kong V Rex
battle is vicious but ultimately Kong
defeats the three fictional beasts the
last of which he kills by literally
ripping its mouth apart he then proceeds
to mock the powerful carnivore showing
everyone that he is the real king of the
jungle sure the dinosaurs may only play
a supporting role in this epic film but
even so the Thunder lizards are
certainly memorable number four dinosaur
we’re here on twit and how dare you
waste that good fortune by simply giving
up hey following an orphaned Iguanodon
named Ella dark who’s raised by lemurs
here’s another flight featuring
dinosaurs in the main role and it was a
big box office success for Disney when a
meteor strike destroys his home island
Aladar and his remaining lemur family
join a herd on the journey to reach the
nesting ground coming across several
fishes carnivores along the way stay
away from him
that may sound too scary for kids but
don’t worry it’s got just the right
amount of dizzy magic to please everyone
while some critics question the
filmmakers decision to let the dinosaurs
talk overall that issue took a backseat
to dinosaurs incredibly realistic
computer animated visuals and inspiring
story xeni what are you doing I believe
left a wake-up call for the dawn of time
number three the lost world
Jurassic Park yeah that’s how he starts
few sequels live up to the original but
on its own the lost world is a solid
film a killer monster movie and a
showcase for even better CG effects than
the first film the plot sees dr. Ian
Malcolm once again played brilliantly by
Jeff Goldblum travel to the fictional
island of Isla Sorna a deserted island
where dinosaurs have been roaming free
naturally disaster ensues and several
characters are eaten however we also get
to see what had happened if a t-rex went
ballistic in a densely populated
suburban area Dogzilla style
[Applause]
according to stan winston’s the genius
behind the film’s animatronics
the filmmakers model for the sequel was
more bigger better and it shows number
two The Land Before Time
do you remember great green path not all
dinosaur films are filled with death and
destruction some are kid friendly and
teach valuable lessons about growing up
and Don Bluths the Land Before Time we
first meet Littlefoot Cera ducky Petrie
and Spike and follow them on their quest
to find the Great Valley and although
it’s an animated children’s film it
presents several powerful things hoping
to teach kids to deal with the death of
a loved one or to recognize prejudice
between different species it’s a
wonderful beautiful place where we can
live happily with many more of our own
our young Dino characters are forced to
overcome their differences while
escaping a killer Turan asaurus rex in a
land devastated by severe drought and
with its great animation and endearing
personalities we love every minute I’m
leading zero we have to keep following
the bright circle I’m taking the easy
rated one but it’s the wrong way before
we unveil our number one pick here are a
few honorable mentions
