Set 65 million years ago during the late Cretaceous period, Dinosaur (PG) follows the adventures of a plucky iguanadon called Aladar.

Aldar is separated from his kin as a hatchling, and raised by a family of lemurs on an idyllic remote island.

From a technical viewpoint, Dinosaur is a marvel, seamlessly blending live-action photography, computer-animated characters and special effects wizardry.

But the underlying story of triumph against adversity is pretty simplistic.
