I let my son (4) rate it and he loves it. All the kids I know who've seen it liked it a lot. Adults are annoyed by the talking and annoying voices but that's what kids love. They don't stop talking for a second and something is always happening. It's not boring although it is very long. I find it hilarious that there's some rogue paleontologist just taking his nephew and niece out on an expedition with no team or camp??? lol (lazy). If your child is used to sitting through full-length movies it's really fun for them. It's exciting without crossing the line. Sometimes I just put it on in the background on silent, my son knows all the lines and the graphics look real so it's just cool scenery.
I understand being disappointed because of the name. They shouldn't have used the name "Walking with Dinosaurs" just to capitalize off of it as it is entirely different from the educational "Walking with Dinosaurs" 1999 version. They could have done "from the creators of "Walking with Dinosaurs" or something.
But it's not that bad, I should know, I've seen about 1000 and... 3 times now? I lost count. Kids aren't always taking in the same lessons you think they are anyway, stories are good too for teaching, like compassion... how Patchi goes back at the end to save his brother even though he had abandoned him, my son tears up at that. people seem too focused on jamming facts down children's throats they forget about fantasy. My son memorized every dinosaur in that anyway. Kids will learn the realism of dinosaur times when they're older leave the fun in childhood!
Anyway, people just need to learn to laugh things off. :D
