3.0 out of 5 stars
Not outstanding but OK for very young, 24 Jan 2009
Despite being a Spielberg film, there is not a lot of depth in this. There is a fairly interesting backstory involving time travel and bickering scientist brothers but generally it just rolls along, with little sense of awe at having dinosaurs wandering around. Characters are fine if undersued, and the one song is actually quite good. Short film, not scary for 3 year olds.

gee, I wish I had a friend ... word like those may land you with a Dinosaur troop of your own., 28 Jun 2009
We're Back is one of those films which stays with you. It is a lovely film and has a great deal of depth; you have the brothers who went two different ways, one devoted his life to making his contribution to society and ultimately ended enriching his world for the benefit of all as a result of such single mindedness and the other sort to exploit the worst aspects of our nature, embittered and hateful towards all that makes life wholesome and wonderful; this is the back story, a story built on choice, we all have the choice, not the same choices are ready to everyone but at some level we all can make those choices which are either helpful to us and to those around us, we don't have to be the victims unless those circumstances are so terrible we literally have no choice at all, but for the film, the characters can choose to over come their primal natures and not give into a path which will destroy them and others, in this sense it is a very deep film as it handles something very big and delivers it back to the audience. There are other references which animators will spot, legalities which put you in mind of their industry which have very cruel loop holes which oppress talent in the work place and obvious references about drugs and saying no are there and being a good person is enough at the end for any life, even references to cereal foods which are able to enhance our intelligence are included here and scientists believe they can do that now .... well, we'll see.
The music is excellent, composed by James Horner and features a great song sung by John Goodman, "Roll Back the Rock", it can't help but make you smile as it is very delightful and amusing.
The film is wonderful work, the drawing quality does not always live up to a high standard through out but it is a top quality film and if you love it that much you can buy it's original wide screen version from America on amazon.

Great Film and Animated, 14 Jun 2009
This film may be quick paced and not much of a story, but the film is wonderfully animated. Steven Spielberg produces this great film, with the directors of Balto.
The film may not be much of a classic like Don Bluth's The Land Before Time, but it is something to watch, with great humour, superb characthers like Tweeb and Woob. Laughs for kids and a few for adults and a great voice cast like John Goodman and Jay Leno.
