EXPERIENCE AN UNPRECEDENTED KIND OF REAL IN “WALKING WITH DINOSAURS: THE 3D MOVIE”
Movie online release article
For the
first time in movie history, audiences will truly see and feel what it was like
when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. “Walking with Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie” is
the ultimate immersive, big-screen adventure for families. You’ll meet
dinosaurs more real than you’ve ever seen as you embark on a thrilling
prehistoric journey, where Patchi, an underdog dino, triumphs against all odds
to become a hero for the ages.

Featuring the voices of Patchi’s heroics and antics resonate in any era, but he
is also a product of his times and stomping grounds – the latter part of the
Cretaceous Period, about 70 million years ago in a land we now call
Alaska.
Audiences will really get behind Patchi and root for this underdog hero to
triumph. The movie points to our continuing fascination, if not obsession with
creatures that have been extinct for millions of years. The T. Rex and
the Gorgosaurus are among the most fearsome predators to have ever walked the
Earth, but kids (of all ages) can’t get enough of them. Dinosaurs spark
our imaginations as much as any fictional creation does.
“Kids love dinosaurs, and they’re going to love “Walking with Dinosaurs”
because it feels so real, has lots of humor and fun,” says John Leguizamo, who
voices Alex, a prehistoric parrot who is Patchi’s best pal. “Plus, they’ll
love the camaraderie between Patchi and Alex.” Dinosaurs combine the best
of two worlds: they’re scary, but because dinos haven’t been around for
millions of years, they’re non-threatening.
Co-director Neil Nightingale believes our enduring obsession with them is here
to stay. “Dinosaurs are the most amazing creatures to have ever existed
on our planet. In four and a half billion years of Earth’s existence, there
have been no creatures that are more dramatic or terrifying. Dinosaurs
fascinate us because they represent a sort of safe danger. You can be
scared of them but not too scared because they are long gone. They’re not
going to come out from under the bed or pounce on you in the dark! And it
is not just dinosaurs we are talking about; it is The Age of Dinosaurs.
It is amazing to know that the world we now live in, the skies above us and the
stars we see were once their realm– incredible animals now lost to prehistoric
history.”
“In bringing WALKING WITH DINOSAURS to the big screen, we wanted to transport
audiences back to a real world, to meet dinosaurs that truly existed and to
immerse audiences in that world,” Nightingale continues. “For a big
motion picture experience it’s also vital to have a strong and emotionally
engaging story. So we used what we know about Late Cretaceous Alaskan
dinosaurs as inspiration for a fictional, character-driven story we knew would
entertain families.”
