Dinosaur
Release: May 19, 2000

Theatrical technology has been enhanced even further by utilizing CG-animated characters on the live-action plate backdrop, and Disney was the first to achieve it with this imaginary prehistoric movie. 12 years of development leads into a $100m production (which was very expansive of its time). While a dinosaur-related computer-animated film had been contemplated for over a decade, the film finally went into production when it did, as "the technology to produce the stunning visual effects" had come about. The CGI effects are coupled with "real-world backdrops to create a 'photo-realistic' look". The crew went all around the world, in order to "record dramatic nature backgrounds" for the film, which were then "blended with the computer-animated dinosaurs". The concept for the film was originally conceived by Paul Verhoeven and Phil Tippett in 1988 and was pitched as a stop-motion animated film with the title Dinosaurs. The film's original main protagonist was a Styracosaurus and the main antagonist was originally a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The film was originally going to be much darker and violent in tone and would end with the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which would ultimately result in the deaths of the film's characters. Paul Verhoeven and Phil Tippett pitched the idea to Disney, only to have the idea shelved away with the onset of the Disney Renaissance until the mid-1990s Ralph Zondag and Eric Leighton directs from an adaptation by John Harrison and Robert Nelson Jacobs; Co-Story by story director Thom Enriquez and Zondag; Based on an original screenplay by Walon Green. Produced by Pam Marsden. Music by James Newton Howard; Executive Music Producer: Chris Montan • Soundtrack on Walt Disney Records. Produced for Walt Disney Pictures by TheSecretLab.
