''Dinosaur'' is a 2000 American live-action/computer-animated adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation with The Secret Lab, and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 39th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disney's Official Animated Features list )〕 though it is not officially labeled as one of the animated classics in the United Kingdom, where ''The Wild'' is included in the canon instead.〔(Disney DVDs & Blu-ray - DVD Collections )〕 Originally a stand-alone film, it was not included in the canon until 2008.〔(Disney Theatrical Animated Features )〕 The film follows an Iguanodon named Aladar who, as the friend of the lemurs, after surviving the devastating meteor, are moving out for their new home. Along the way, they befriend and reunite the remaining herd of dinosaurs who are being pursued by the predators, such as the Carnotaurus, while on a journey to the "Nesting Grounds". While the main characters in ''Dinosaur'' are computer-animated, most of the film's backgrounds were filmed on location. A number of backgrounds were found in Canaima National Park in Venezuela; various tepuis and Angel Falls also appear in the film. It is the second film (after ''Fantasia 2000'') produced by Disney Animation Studios to feature computer-generated three-dimensional animation. At officially $127.5 million, it was the most expensive theatrical film release of the year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dinosaur (2000) )〕 The film was a financial success, grossing over $349 million worldwide in total box office revenue, becoming the fifth highest-grossing film of 2000. The film received mixed to positive reviews at the time of its release, with critics praising the visuals, but criticizing the writing, plot and characterization. ==Plot== During the end of the Cretaceous era, an ''Iguanodon'' mother is forced to abandon her nest during the ''Carnotaurus'' attack. The one surviving egg journeys through several predicaments, including the flight of a Pteranodon, before ending up on lemur island. There, Plio names the hatched baby Aladar and raises him. Years later, Aladar and the lemurs take part in the mating season, where Zini goes without a mate. Moments after the season ends, a meteor strikes and destroys the island, leaving Aladar, Plio, Yar, Zini and Suri (as the only survivors when they are alone) swim to the mainland. The family mourns for the loss of all lemurs before moving on. While crossing a deserted wasteland, they are ambushed by a pack of ''Velociraptor''. After escaping from them, the family come across a remaining multi-species herd of dinosaurs led by Kron and Bruton, who are on a journey to reach the "Nesting Grounds", a valley said to be untouched by the devastating meteor, providing sanctuary. Aladar and the lemurs befriend a trio of elderly dinosaurs, Baylene, Eema and Url. Together, they migrate on, eventually reaching a lake they have relied upon in past trips. Though the lake has seemingly dried up by the meteor, Aladar and Baylene discover the water being buried under the dried surface of the lake, and saves the herd from dehydration. Impressed by Aladar's compassionate ways, Neera begins to fall in love with him. Meanwhile, a pair of ''Carnotaurus'' picks up the herd's trail and begins stalking them for food. Later, during the scouting mission, Bruton is attacked and wounded by the predators. He escapes and returns to inform Kron that they are being followed, sending the entire herd in grave danger. Kron picks up the pace and evacuates the herd, leaving Aladar's family and Bruton behind, while the Carnotaurus are in pursuit some distance away. During the rainstorm, the stragglers spend the night in a nearby cave before being found and attacked by the beasts. Bruton sacrifices himself to cause a cave-in that kills him and one of the Carnotaurus. As the rest of the group move on through the cave, one Carnotaurus survive, roars in anger and resumes its search for the herd. Aladar loses hope when they reach a dead end, but the others convince him to keep going, relating how he inspired them to do the same. After they knock down the dead end together and successfully find the Nesting Grounds on the other side, Eema sees a large wall of rocks from a landslide that blocked the original entryway to the valley. Knowing that the herd will die climbing over it, Aladar returns to the desert alone and is pursued by the Carnotaurus, while racing off to find them. Aladar catches up with the herd and suggests a safer way into the valley, but Kron angrily fights him. Neera stops Kron, and the herd abandons him, taking Aladar as their new leader. As they prepare to leave, they are cornered by the Carnotaurus. Aladar rallies the herd to stand together and scare off the predator, who then senses and goes after Kron on a cliff. Aladar and Neera fight back against the Carnotaurus, when it attacks and fatally wounds Kron. After Aladar knocks the Carnotaurus off a cliff to its death, Kron dies from his injuries, with Neera mourning for him. Aladar and Neera lead the herd back to the Nesting Grounds as their new home, where a new generation of dinosaur hatches sometime later, along with Aladar and Neera's children, and the lemurs find more of their kind, while embarking on a new happy life together. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dinosaur (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
