We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story (1993)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Dick Zondag, et al
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Universal)

An alien turns prehistoric dinosaurs into friendly, talking ones by feeding them special cereal. The alien brings them to present day New York City and hopes to get them to the Museum of Natural History so kids can come experience them in person. They get sidetracked by the alien's evil twin brother who runs a dark circus in Central Park. He captures the dinosaurs and turns them back into their prehistoric states. A couple of New York kids befriended by the dinosaurs before they were captured help them escape. Surprisingly dark animated feature from Spielberg's Amblimation defies its reputation as a bomb, though it is a product of its time and is already showing its age.
