I recently went to see the new Disney dinosaur flick, "Baby." My
friend and I don't have a lot of respect for most Disney flicks, but
we're interested in Dinosaurs and in "model animation", so we were
hoping that we'd get some enjoyment from the special effects.

Unfortunately, it was abysmal.  The dinosaurs look like wooden frames
inside oilcloth (which they undoubtedly were), their behavior was
"Disney animal" behavior, and the plot of the movie was enough to gag
a horse.  We walked out after about 30 minutes.

I think the word "Disney" - all the negative things that conjures up -
would suffice for a "pico-review".  Picture the bad guys - really bad,
they kick puppys for fun.  The side-kick bad guy is a fruit, of course
- moral depravity knows no bounds.  The "last straw" for us was
watching the bad guys shoot down a dinosaur - one of the "mom, pop,
and baby" super-cutsie family grouping.  In its death throes the dying
and surviving dinosaur go through a heart-rending (or is it "puke-
rending") scene involving batting eyelashes, rubbing necks, swearing
undying love, etc., etc.  Then the surviving dinosaur turns on the bad
guys and signs, "I'll get you for this!".  My gawd...

If you like dinosaurs, model animation, or special effects, skip this
movie.
