Dinosaur

Episode Summary


Disney animators combined computer generated animation with live
action background scenery to create the visually stunning
Dinosaur (2000). Unfortunately, the boring plot and
lackluster characters leave Erin and Rachel wishing that these
dinosaurs would hurry up and go extinct.
