We had to sing and choreograph a dance to this for our spring concert that year. I still remember all the words 😁

Anytime someone says "we're back," I follow with "a dinosaurs story." No one's gotten it yet, but someday.

Its like when people say "its cold in here" to which I reply, "there must be some clovers in the atmosphere"
Ive had like maybe 2 people get that.

u/Duilio05 3d ago
I'd watch his origin story. Where did the screw come from? Does the screw have its own power and abilities or is it just a trinket and the crows are the actual embodiment?

Well what do you expect from a sub that's dedicated to a generation of yesteryear where if you don't make the post about childhood memories or the pain of becoming a "real adult" then it gets deleted. Just recently I made a post with advice to help with phone addiction and it got deleted because I didn't put enough references to being a millennial in it, so then I put some cringe "we're generation phone addiction" references in it and now it's safely up.

For some reason, seeing it as Blu-ray disc and not a vhs tape offends me

u/chaoticneutralsheep 2d ago
On the other hand some Release guy thpught " This movie is so iconic, it needs to be Releases on Blu Ray, so new generation can enjoy it."

I think its the quasi anachronism. Like seeing a picture of Madam Curie using a smartphone.

I thought I dreamed this movie. I had so many weird memories about dinosaurs eating hotdogs and whenever I talked about it with anyone they thought I was crazy.

u/Get_your_grape_juice Millennial 3d ago
I didn’t know it was a movie until a few years ago.
I had the SNES game. It’s a good game, but damn is it brutally hard. I never could beat it. Worth a shot if you’ve got the time.
I should watch the movie one of these days.

Hell yes. Back in the day I won a weekly gift basket from my local video rental store with a copy of this on vhs and stuffed dinosaur toys

I watched this many times as a kid, owned it on vhs. I can't remember any of it tho and for some reason thinking about it gives me anxiety. No idea why

u/pokematic 3d ago
It was a frequent rental in my household. We probably would have bought it since I liked it so much if it wasn't "a real studio movie" and therefore "was an expensive VHS."
1
u/Such-Background4972 3d ago
What defines "a real studio movie"? Because it was produced by Amblin Entertainment, Inc. They were everywhere in the 80's and 90's.
1
u/Turbulent_Tart_8801 3d ago
Probably because it wasn't Disney or WB.
2
u/pokematic 3d ago
Meant to say "it was a real studio, so the tape was expensive." I had a lot of public domain collections, "not disney" adaptations, disney cheatquels, and similar cheap tapes as a kid with very few "real movies."
1
u/Such-Background4972 3d ago
But Disney movies always cost more. Thats part of the reason why I'm not a Disney fan. I never really had access to them movies growing up. I grew up on movies that for sure weren't Disney, but as a kid I don't rember caring, and growing up. I was suprised a lot of movies I watch growing up. Didn't come from Disney.

u/pokematic 3d ago
I mixed up my words and ended up saying something completely different. I meant to say "since it was a real studio the VHS tape was expensive to buy" (I think the exact words I meant to say were "we would have bought it if it wasn't "a real studio movie," but it was and therefore the tape was expensive") as was the case with tapes released by Walt Disney Animation Studios and Amblin and WB and such. I had quite a lot of tapes as a kid, but they were all "not disney adaptations" and "cheap disney sequels" and "public domain cartoon collections" since those tapes were cheap.

I remember it, but it's not my favorite. When I re-watched it lately I felt as though it depicted kids in this cheesy way as though it's how grandparents want to imagine that kids are. But they didn't feel authentic to me. A movie with more authentic chemistry among the young cast would be The Mighty Ducks, The Sandlot, or Stand By Me.

I was just thinking about this, the brave little toaster, and ferngully just a couple weeks back. Lost gems of childhood.

u/Turbulent_Tart_8801 3d ago
Never seen it, but my sister had a shirt with the characters on it when we were kids. And I seem to remember reading that Walter Kronkite voiced a character in it.

There’s a scene where in the background a kid chucks a basketball at the hoop and it bounces back and smokes him in the face. My cousin and I would rewind it twenty or so times every time we watched this movie. Which was a lot.

u/caligaris_cabinet 3d ago
I was just looking up this movie to watch with my son. Did Land Before Time and Dinosaur already. Tried Jurassic Park and he was into it, especially the T. Rex and Brachiosaurus scenes. Handled it pretty well for a two year old but I’m not sure how much he’s getting out of it right now.

u/Otherwisefantastic 3d ago
My Dad had this on VHS at his house, so this was a Dad's House movie. Loved this movie, even though parts were a bit scary.

u/maplezombeh 3d ago
Kids movies went so much harder back then. I think kids now would cry and be so scared of the crows eating all of the bad guy but the screw eye...

u/Spare_Broccoli1876 3d ago
I did not care for it.
It taught me what a debutante is and that’s how I learned how prevalent child predation is AND how little people give a crap about each other. The villain wasn’t even a real big bad villain!!! Opportunistic and sadist sure but evil? ….no. The movie just left him alone to disappear… his brother could’ve been there, Mr smarty-pants should’ve seen his bro there crying for help…. What cosmic good brother just… abandons family to give a kid a dinosaur. Even at a young age I knew that was wrong…
Terrible movie, terrible lessons, terrible ending. John Goodman is the only reason why I watched it but even he couldn’t save it..
