Walking with Dinosaurs
In a time when dinosaurs rule the Earth, the smallest dinosaur of the herd, a playful Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, embarks on the biggest adventure of his life. As he tries to find his place in a spectacular world filled with fun-loving friends and a few dangerous foes, Patchi will discover the courage he needs to become the leader of the herd and a hero for the ages.
Critics Sentiment
Patchi leads the herd against Gorgosaurus pack, defeats Gorgon, and becomes leader
Scowler defeats Patchi in battle and coldly disowns him, leaving him trapped
The film drops from the emotional high of Bulldust's heroic death (8.0) to prolonged tedium during the migration time-jump sequences (4.8), a swing of 3.2 points that critics found particularly jarring.
Critics consistently praised the stunning CGI animation and visual spectacle while heavily criticizing the juvenile script and unnecessary talking dinosaur concept. The film starts weakly with modern framing devices, builds through impressive action sequences, suffers through predictable middle sections, then recovers for a visually spectacular climax. Most reviewers felt the beautiful animation was undermined by dialogue and story choices that made the prehistoric creatures feel less majestic than they deserved.
