So I’m in no way a dino expert (like, at all) but I have known for several years now that unlike the iguanodons in Disney’s Dinosaur, real iguanodons had beaks. The reason Disney didn’t go with that was because since this was their first CGI animated film, they found it too difficult to animated beaks talking.

However one thing I didn’t learn until recently is that the iguanodons in the film DID still have beaks, they’re just hidden in their mouths

My whole life I thought the characters just had weird-looking teeth lmao. But now I just can’t help wondering how they would’ve looked if their beaks were kept despite the technical limitations at the time.

*** TIEBREAKER POLL ***

Dimitri [The Legend of Zelda] vs. Aladar [Dinosaur (2000)]

This poll lasts for ONE DAY ONLY!

[hyzenthlayroseart]

The other day I suddenly got the urge to draw fanart for Disney's film Dinosaur since I've never actually done fanart for it before. Probably Disney's most experimental film out of their Experimental Era. While I did eventually watch the VHS a lot as a young child, my first experience was seeing it in the theaters which didn't last long because I got scared and started crying so we left early (I was 3 so I can't really remember but I'm pretty sure it was the meteor shower scene). Also for a long time as a kid I thought lemurs actually did coexist with dinosaurs cuz of this film lmao.

Anyway here's Aladar, Neera, Kron, Bruton, Plio holding baby Aladar and then the whole lemur family. I really wanted to include Eema, Baylene and Url but unfortunately I ran out of room. My goal was to make this in the style of Disney's 2D animated films but I kept worrying that I was making characters resemble my own style instead (then again Disney has always been one of the biggest inspirations for my art so....). I hate drawing with colored lineart I'm ngl lmao.

I hope everyone looks good.

there’s something you guys don’t know about me, but you should.

I love Aladar. And I love Dinosaur (2000) and it’s time everyone knows.

Getting back into Disney’s Dinosaur and I appreciate that they made Kron a complex antagonist who is often understandable, but it really annoys me when people say that his methods were right all along and that Aladar would have killed even more of the herd by slowing down for the weaker members, as if Aladar isn’t constantly shown thinking outside the box for ways to ensure that everyone survives. If he ever faced a situation as leader like the one Kron did where there was no food or water during the migration and the highest chance of survival was getting to the Nesting Grounds as soon as possible, he would most likely ask a trusted friend or family member (probably Neera) to lead the strongest and fastest while he stayed behind to protect the slower and weaker herd members.

Yes, survival of the fittest is usually how it works in nature, but this is still a Disney movie, and caring for the vulnerable is good actually.

One of the major attributes I admire about this character

is being "Peaceful" way far from "harmless", even though I've seen some claims that Aladar's fight with Kron ended the way it did because he was the weaker, actually..

Aladar never went on the offensive with Kron. Each move he made was merely defensive.

Albeit the size difference

+ the combat experience Aladar lacked ( which should've made it more likely for him to seize any given opportunity to attack)

Kron took the initiative & went to the ground

Something which Aladar didn't take advantage of.

He blinded him

Slashed his chest..

That wasn't enough

He smacked him down

.. And still wasn't done until he'd finish him off completely if it wasn't for Neera's intervention.

You see that difference. Because Aladar wasn't primarily after leadership, but only wanted everybody to reach the valley safely.

He was never in for a fight. But had to defend himself against Kron who's mentality offered only obliteration for any objection to his methods or rules.
