Walt Disney Pictures' epic new feature Dinosaur seamlessly blends digitally enhanced live-action photography special effects wizardry and computer-generated characters bringing the prehistoric past to life. The film was 6 years in the making and is the first movie to emerge from Walt Disney Pictures new studio the Secret Lab. When a devastating meteor shower destroys their world a young iguanadon called Aladar and the lemurs he calls family are thrown into a world of danger and adventure. In DK's Essential Guide you can explore the exciting world of Dinosaur and see how Aladar and his friends survive in a desperate herd of dinosaurs searching for a new home. See the reality of a world where the plains shudder under the weight of vast iguanadon herds where the canyons hide packs of hissing raptors and the forests echo with the roars of the largest carnivores ever to walk the planet. The creatures appearing in the Essential Guide have the mottled skin fleshy weight and matter fur of real living animals. Dinosaur's breath-taking computer-generated photography combined with DK's unique style explains every character and setting in stunning detail. (c) Disney
