HOLE (DVD) - (WS) Unusually effective low-budget British horror film starring American Beauty's Thora Birch. ... DINOSAUR (DISNEY) - (DVD) Computer-animated Disney adventure. After his egg hatches in a strange environment a young dinosaur grows up in alien surroundings "adopted" by a family of lemurs. When a meteor shower strikes the earth he must join a group of other dinosaurs to travel to the comparative safety of the "nesting grounds". The opening scenes of Disney's Dinosaur demand the biggest television you can get your hands on (illegal activities not withstanding - of course). An utterly jaw-dropping sequence in which a dinosaur egg is stolen from a nest and through a series of events taken on an extraordinary journey rendered in glorious computer-generated images across a prehistoric landscape. It's a breath-taking example of purely visual storytelling. Unfortunately once the egg has landed and the (implausibly cute) dinosaur emerges the creatures around it open their mouths and talk and you suddenly realise you're watching a Disney movie. It's a shame but not a crippling one. This is closer to The Lion King than Walking With Dinosaurs or Jurassic Park the nice dinos are big-eyed and cute have all-American accents and are essentially heroic beasties who must band together to defeat the unscrupulous bad-guys and save the day (before becoming extinct - naturally). As far as the computer-generated dinosaurs (placed in actual locations) go this looks very nice indeed although its probably the only time in which Disney's thunder has been stolen by the BBC. Of course if you're looking for a Disney adventure that the family should enjoy you really can't go wrong with this. Although a touch more violent that one would usually expect from the House of Mouse (Dinosaurs tending to eat each other etc.) it retains the usual charms which distinguish most Disney output. Besides it's worth seeing for the opening sequence alone.
