When I saw this movie (months ago), I felt the main problem with the movie was it seemed to be designed to be enjoyed in an environment free from distractions. The showing I attended was full of babies that cried during most of the show, ruining it, because the dinosaur fight scenes scared the youngest children and made them cry. I wanted to see Dinosaur in a nearly empty house, but never actually put the effort into seeking out such a showing anywhere. The showing I did attend on opening weekend was the worst movie I ever attended at any theatre as far as distractions went.I find it very interesting that the following statement was made in the press release about the DVD at http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/001009/ca_walt_di.html : "The DVD of DINOSAUR features a digital transfer created directly from the digital source, ensuring an optimal presentation that actually surpasses the Theatrical experience." The resolution of 720x480 cannot compete with 35mm film presentation, but I can see that if the first chance to see this movie without a bunch of crying babies ruining the movie is on DVD in a home theatre, in this case, the home experience would surpass the theatrical experience. Maybe that's what they have in mind.  I don't really know which age group this movie was aimed at, but it wasn't suitable for young children. I'd say the early teens and the 9-12 age groups would get the most enjoyment out of it. I like these kinds of movies because I am interested in the computer-generated characters, since I do a lot of computer programming and can appreciate the hard work that went into movies like these.
