Walking with Dinosaurs 3D

[CityRaptor]

Yes, those Movie Posters are kinda spoilerific, aren't they?

Out of curiosity, not counting the humans: Is there anyone else besides Patchi, Scowler, Juniper and Alex who "talks"?

I think " young Patchi " was enough for me.. lol I mean he sounded really off. I'm hoping the adult versions sound better.

Well, I would be prepared. And adult Patchi should sound better, atleast slightly, since it is not an adult man trying to pass off as a kid. That usually ends up with a fake sounding kid or one with a deep voice.

I can understand why they just called the Pterosaur a Pterosaur, I have no trouble with that. Heck its could of been worse, they could of called it a Pterodactyl.

[Balaur]

No it's not okay. There are so many different types of pterosaurs. It's like calling an Albertosaurus a theropod. Why couldn't they just say Quetzalcoatlus? Too hard to remember?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Too hard for the target audience..REALLY young kids is my guess...though most of us could say names like that when we were 6. lol

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Haha- my mom can probably relate. When I was little, I'd tell her about Stygimoloch and the like, and she'd say, "What?..."

I recall trying to " school " my elders on dinosaur names..I spent an hour teaching my grandmother's sister how to say Archeopteryx...then she threw me out. lol

Well, my parents know some basics about it.

As for the target audience: I remember that the last time I encountered little kids in a museum, every Theropod was Tyrannosaurus rex...including Carnotaurus, who at the time was a lead in Dinosaur King. Also Giganotosaurus and Herrerasaurus.

yep. They all call my juv. Gorgosaurus T-Rex...my Suchomimus was thought to be a " Raptor " by one mother.   I think I'm goign to have to invest in those informational signs after all.

Sadly, this looks like it's going to be terrible now. Justin Long as a sassy dinosaur? Plot points straight out of Bambi? Disappointing. I knew they'd have to build a larger narrative for a movie, but I thought they would stick with the basics that made WWD so great. I guess not.

All the reviews I've watched and read so far have been negative for this film. I honestly hope it bombs, maybe these movie executives will take a hint. It really was the added voices that made this film so poorly received.

Me too. I real
I really hope they learn from their mistakes.

I was doing some reading on Wikipedia about the film's current critical reception, and apparently there is singing in the film!?

Dan Jolin at Empire panned Walking with Dinosaurs as "insipid, bloodless, pseudo-educational and offensively anthropomorphised". Jolin applauded the visual effects but said that "the decision to insert chirp-pop songs and voice the principal dinosaurs" overshadowed the effects.[50] Tom Meek, reviewing for Paste, also praised the effects as "a visual wonderment" but disparaged "the cutesy animal voices and personas". Aside from highlights like the line "Think outside the nest" and the song "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac, Meek was disappointed by the dialogue and choice of music.

Yet another lesson to film makers on how not to make a movie about dinosaurs

They did add singing then ?  Or are we talking about background music and credits only stuff ?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Just found this :

Man I hope those are credit tracks...

My understanding is that it might actually be a full-on Disney-fied movie with song breaks and all. Plus a sassy John Leguizamo (Sid the Sloth) as the bird-dino. This movie will be a disaster (money wise) and will just serve to keep them from being made, under the reasoning that dinosaurs are not cash-worthy (as opposed to blaming poor choices of the execs),

Well hopefully the upcoming "The Good Dinosaur" and "Jurassic World" will show them that it is not the dinosaurs themselves that prevent cash-flow. Assuming those two movies are actually good.

No songs present. WWD hasn't sunk that low (yet). Occasionally lousy soundtrack though, including a terrible rap song at the end.

Given what has been seen, and the major delays in both projects, I'm not optimistic. Because they can't take dinosaurs seriously, which is why the projects don't succeed (and why the original JP and WwD did).
