Meh.
For the record, I loved loved LOVED the original book, and even read and enjoyed the sequel (World Below, IIRC).
This was. . . well, it was only 76 minutes. That's the best thing I can say about it.
Rough summary (spoilers ahoy!). Protagoniat Kex runs away from an orphanage (?!) in what appears to be present-day Seattle, or possible San Francisco, stows away on a ship's lifeboat, which conveniently falls overboard in a storm. Shipwrecks or boatwrecks on a tropic island shore, and is promptly confronted by a small dinosaur speaking flawless, colloquial American English. It doesn't get better from there.
Almost everything that made the original Dinotopia wonderful IMHO was carefully excised to make this 'kid-friendly', and a lot of kludge was carefully wadded in. The brief scenes in Waterfall City were a painful glimpse of the movie this could have been had they given a good g*dd**n.
In closing, this could have been the lowest point in Malcom McDowell's career - but there's still GigaShadow.
