5 Dinosaur Films for Kids

The dreams and fantasies of everyone’s childhood about dinosaurs are indispensable, and children nowadays are no exception. Why are children so interested in giants? In the hearts of children, the dinosaurs that have disappeared for hundreds of millions of years are real and mysterious. Based on the scientific basis of reality, they can give full play to their imagination. I believe that many children are dinosaur fans. In addition to museums, theme parks, and exhibitions, their knowledge of dinosaurs also comes from film and television works. However, like the popular dinosaur movie Jurassic Park, there are some bloody and violent scenes of dinosaurs, which are rated as PG-13 (that is, not suitable for children under 13 to watch alone, requiring parents to accompany) movies. Today, we will recommend some dinosaur movies suitable for children to watch.

1.The Good Dinosaur (2015)

The Good Dinosaur is an animated film about courage and friendship. The film assumes that the dinosaurs are not extinct, and imagines the situation of these once overlords on the earth after the evolution. They have learned planting, animal husbandry, and construction, and have their own language and family. At the foot of the Mountain, there are five dinosaurs. The three children have different personalities. Among them, the youngest son, Arlo, is weak and timid as our protagonist. After experiencing life and death from his father, Arlo, unfortunately, separated from his lover. With little savage-spot accompany him, he embarked on the way home, and finally engraved the paw print symbolizing courage on the barn built by his father.

2.Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is the third part of the series Ice Age. After experiencing the first two adventures, Mammoth Manny, Sloth Sid, Sabretooth Tiger Diego have encountered new troubles. They broke into the world of dinosaurs! Although it is not a movie with dinosaurs as the protagonist, the supporting role – the baby dinosaurs are better than the protagonist! Three little dinosaurs have just broken their shells with a cute and funny gesture, which is more attractive than the protagonists.

This is a humorous but adventurous movie. Produced by the BBC in 1999, it is known as the most expensive documentary in the history of the Guinness Book of Records. The movie tells the story of Pachyrhinosaurus during the Great Cretaceous Migration era, from a young dinosaur, wandering through adventures and overcoming many difficulties to become the leader of the Pachyrhinosaurus family.

3.Walking with Dinosaurs (1999)

Walking with Dinosaurs is a humorous but adventurous movie. Produced by the BBC in 1999, it is known as the most expensive documentary in the history of the Guinness Book of Records. The movie tells the story of Pachyrhinosaurus during the Great Cretaceous Migration era, from a young dinosaur, wandering through adventures and overcoming many difficulties to become the leader of the Pachyrhinosaurus family.

4.Dinosaur Train: Dinosaur Big City (2011)

For the uninitiated, Dinosaur Train is a Jim Henson Company-produced PBS series about a cartoon family of pteranodons and their adopted T-rex brother who board a locomotive and meet a different species of dinosaurs each episode. But despite the talking dinos riding the rails, this is actually one of the more educational offerings about prehistoric life out there, as each episode functions as a (very cute) crash course in dinosaur behavior, from aquatic predators to herbivorous titans.

5.The Land Before Time (1988)

The Land Before Time, this beautifully animated, somewhat traumatizing, ultimately sappy offering from Don Bluth has become the de-facto entry point for dino-loving kids since it debuted in 1988. And while it does explore some pretty intense issues — parental death, cross-species prejudice, terror, and other things you’d probably expect from the director of the traumatizing The Secret of Nimh — the plucky characters and colorful scenery should pacify jumpier kids. Just be wary of the 13 sequels it spawned, which generally decrease in quality with each cash-grabbing release.

However, no matter how exciting the movie is, I believe children are more likely to be attracted to the realistic animatronic dinosaurs in real life. MyDinosaurs has been committed to manufacturing animatronic dinosaurs for over 20 years. I believe that some of the large dinosaurs in the parks, museums or Jurassic world that children see are made by MyDinosaurs.
