#We're Back A Dinosaur's Story

[disney-is-mylife]

THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST. I just wanted to highlight some beloved and underrated nostalgic classics.

I am NOT counting: Studio Ghibli, DC, Marvel, Scooby-Doo, sequels/prequels, and most other franchises. I also chose to cut Dreamworks, because I wanted to give as much love as possible to other nostalgic films. There's a LOT to cover in the 80s-90s, hence why I split the two polls.

Happy voting! ❤

I started my quest to watch 30 movies from the year I was born (1993) last night with a double feature of Rex: A Dinosaur's Story and We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story. I don't know if I have it in me to review every one of these things, but this pair should be of interest.

Rex is required viewing for any Godzilla fan, if only so your jaw can drop at how much Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II ripped it off. (The egg even hatches after hearing a song!) I also didn't expect the lost continent of Mu to have such a big role... or for no one to feed the theropod meat. No wonder he keeps trying to bite people! It's almost overpoweringly sentimental, but the sheer cuteness of the dino lets it get away with a lot. Oh yeah, and it ends with a snowmobile chase right out of a Bond movie.

We're Back is another cautionary tale about trying to adapt picture books into feature-length films. The source material didn't have a villain, and the first half of this movie doesn't either. Professor Screweyes would have thrived in a more focused story. A ringmaster who doesn't understand comedy and just wants to scare people, makes 12-year-olds sign contracts in blood and turns them into monkeys, hypnotizes people and dinosaurs alike with his right eye (which is a screw), and gets eaten bones and all by his crows as soon as his audience deserts him... he's an S-tier villain trapped in a half-assed Jurassic Park cash-in. Now, 1993 saw plenty of Jurassic Park cash-ins, but this one is unusual in that Steven Spielberg produced it. I feel like this character is meant to represent him directing Jurassic Park and giving a generation of kids nightmares about velociraptors, whereas the kindly Captain Neweyes, who gives the dinosaur heroes human intelligence so they can bring joy to kids in the present day, is him producing this movie. (Too bad it bombed.) Alternatively, the two characters are the Master and the Doctor... I mean, the latter does have a time machine.

Now that I'm rewatching clips from "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story", I realise the circus scenes fit the overall vibe I imagine for Freakshow so well

Jurassic Park (1993) in We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story (1993)

Do yall think "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story" and "Land Before Time" took place in the same universe?

[drama-glob]

can lizzy from murder drones play as dweeb from we’re back: a dinosaur’s story while V can still play as woog?

I think Lizzy would have a fit if she was someone such as Dweeb thanks to her popularity standing and V seems more active than Woog, but if they've got to be in this version then I guess it makes sense. ;)

Anyone remember We're Back? I always loved that movie dfhjfhsa this is old, but theyre cute

You’re not allowed to judge me, We’re Back: A Dinosaur’s Story, for enjoying haunted houses and being the kind of person who would go to a fear carnival. The adrenaline of being scared is fun and makes the brain chemicals go whoo and you have NO right to judge me on this. We all know the moral high ground for this situation is not “what is wrong with people who like to be scared for fun” but actually “this circus man is doing animal abuse and also mind controlling his employees.”

Also you probably gave some poor kids whatever the equivalent of a devolution kink is.

...

Honestly if I went to a spooky carnival and they had an actual fucking dinosaur I would lose my mind.

Shortly after this past New Year's I made a crossover video of the forgotten other Spielberg "Dinosaur Movie" from 1993. We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story. Released months after Jurassic Park. I decided to make a crossover/mashup trailer parody of the film with the former beloved 1992-1995 PBS Middle School show Ghostwriter. Because the child actors Blaze A. Berdahl and Joey Shea were in both "Ghostwriter" and "We're Back". Blaze played Lenni (the middle school rap artist girl and GW team memeber) and Joey played a main antagonist role. In "We're Back", however Joey voiced a 2nd protagonist character named Louie (and is much nicer than his GW live apperence role). Miss Berdahl voiced the blue bird only seen at the begining and end of the movie. What also inspired me to do this was a trailer mashup crossover from 2011 with the Ghostwriter team along side "Thomas the Tank Engine" in Thomas and the Magic Railroad (original cut).
