The technology and special effects in Dinosaur are, indeed, very good, almost as good as in BBC's "Walking with the dinosaurs". I know it's Disney and it doesn't have to be didactic, but fun. But it need not be so shallow, so far away from natural history; the plot is too thin, and too traditional (where have I seen the story of the male youth who defies the leader and gets the princess?). Besides, the Dinosaur's dream land looks a lot like Mr. Average American's dream land: a golf course. There should be no contradiction between technology, intelligence and fun... if you don't confuse ends and means.
