Visual spectacle
Visual Spectacle, Walking With Dinosaurs, Jurassic Park films. Want to look for food, follow the fat guy” is just one of the cute lines and they dot the screenplay to give meat to the visuals and there’s never a dull moment in this truly delightful entertainer.
We know very well that dinosaurs are huge pre-historic creatures that once ruled the earth but only recently they were revived by Steven Spielberg in his ‘Jurassic Park’ films. Probably inspired by it scriptwriter John Colbee has written an imaginative screenplay and directors Neil Nightingale and Barry Cook have peopled with a variety of creatures that are sure to enthrall audiences (children and adults) this festival season in ‘Walking With Dinosaurs.’
It all begins with a trio (uncle, nephew and niece) going into the woods with a dinosaurs tooth and trying to dig deep into the past of those distant creatures. But the nephew is not interested and stays behind. With the vehicle only to come across Alex, short for Alexander bird (voice of John Leguizamo) who then takes over and we are then transported into the prehistoric world.
It is indeed a quaint world, rife with running streams and lush greenery for which the crew traveled to Alaska and New Zealand to shoot similar surroundings to those prevalent in the dinosaur era. Computer-generated dinosaurs were then created and added to live action backdrop to conjure breath-taking visuals.
The hero of course is Patchi (Justin Long), short for patch rhinoceros. who we see being brought up by his parents, his father knowing only one word “gaarrooh” he uses for a variety of reasons. Finding himself too sheltered Patchi breaks away only to find himself under a shower of poop, braver but smellier.
It is a learning curb and gives himself confidence when he has to look after the herd. In the meanwhile we come across a variety of creatures and some rare birds to add to the variety. Not surprisingly he runs into his lady-love Juniper (Tiya Sircar) but it is a rough path he has to trample before… you know what? One of them is his brother Scowler (Skyler Stone, no relative of Sharon) who has designs on both the leadership and Juniper.
“Want to look for food, follow the fat guy” is just one of the cute lines and they dot the screenplay to give meat to the visuals and there’s never a dull moment in this truly delightful entertainer.
