1 UUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH
I saw this once when I was little. I cried because of the sencless animal violence. I tried watching it last week again. I didn't cry this time, but I still hate it. I mean: who woulda thought that its possible to get so emmotional over fake looking dinosaurs??? Yea, VERY fake. Not to mention the rating. More like PG-13 or R for that matter. Lotsa swearing, violence, and naked ugly tribal chicks. The only funny line in this entire piece of @#$% is when the guy tells his airplane driver about his wife. When he says "What would you do?" The hippie airplane pilot says "Personally, I'd whip the b**ch." Ha ha. Funny. Almost. I never even finished this movie.
2 Not for children
I bought this movie for my daughters who are 4 and 5. I vaguely remember seeing this movie as a kid, and thought my 4 year old would love it as she is totally into dinosaurs right now. However, I was a little shocked to hear the foul language, not to mention the nudity and the violence. Granted, the nudity is not sexual in nature, but I still don't really think it was appropriate for my children at this age. The girls loved Baby and thought he was adorable, but ultimately, I decided that this movie is just not suitable, and had to "pull the plug", so to speak. Based on the dvd cover, I can understand how this movie would appeal to young viewers, but I really don't feel that it is appropriate for children under 13.
3 Jurasick park this movie made it possible
I grew up watching this movie and just recently found it on dvd I was so excited. For the time this was incredible and any one who says jurassic park is the best dino movie ever is obesly to young to fully get this movie. at the time it was cutting edge I feel sorry for you. I have all the jurrasic park movies and I would watch this one 40 times more then those. This movie paved the way for those movies. I wish they would do a remake
4 THE GAME IS OVER
I don't know how anyone could not laugh at this movie. Right off the bat, the cover says it's "a cross between Raiders of the Lost Ark and E.T."...right, only in the dreams of the producers. Truth be told, the dinosaurs don't look THAT bad for the time, but Baby running near the end of the movie always puts me into fits of laughter. Same goes for any time a dinosaur gets shot. I can't believe this is on DVD, I was thrilled to learn that it has been digitally preserved forever. As far as I'm concerned even the DVD menu is hilarious, just look at the dinosaur's face - it has eyebrows.
5 So 80's it's cool!!!
This movie is great. I haven't seen it in like ten years but I can't wait to watch it again! I used to rent it every time I went to the video store, this and the Last Unicorn, and I just loved it! Sure, the Brontosaurus really never existed and more correctly is called the Apatasoarus b/c there was a dino race in the early 1900's and they found the complete body of an apatasaurus but no head, so they incorrectly put the head of a Brachiousaurus on the apatastaurus and called it a brontosaurus - but that's okay- it's still good!!! And to those who have negative feelings towards this movie that have already reviewed shouldn't place bad memories of their long lost childhood to fault this movie b/c it's really great!!!
6 No zeros allowed? Aw, shucks.
They showed "Baby" to us every year when I was in summer day camp (Packer Collegiate in Brooklyn for those in the know) and to this day I recall it as the worst movie I've ever seen. I think you would have to do a "Clockwork Orange" and mechanically maintain my alertness in order to make me watch this again: you would not, however, have to inject me with evil drugs in order to get me to collapse writhing upon mention of it.
7 No zero star choice
The lowest I could give is a 1!! I feel sorry for those people who can not get over child memories to fully grasp Jurassic Park or maybe haven't seen some of the greatest dinosaur movies : Jurassic Park trilogy, The Lost World (1925), and The Valley of Gwangi.
8 Finally I found it!!!
When I was a kid I would rent this movie everytime I went to the video store. I've been looking for it for quite sometime and randomly stumbled upon it in a store I went to. People kind of looked at me funny when I started jumping up and down and screaming, but that's ok. This movie is sooooo addicting. Once you watch it, you'll be in love with it. It's one of those movies that you'll watch and just have to watch it again each time a friend of your says "Gee, I havn't seen that." Beleive me, for $... you can't go wrong. It's well worth every cent. Like a previous reviewer I also wish it was available in widescreen, but when I was a kid I watched it in full-screen, so it's a true blast-from-the-past in sooooo many ways. Also, for those putting out the DVDs... lets see the wide-screen come out with some cool special features on it please.
9 cute
this movie is soooo cute! i used to watch it as a kid and i always loved it sooo much! it is fun for the young and the young at heart.
10 GREAT MOVIE
THIS MOVIE IS ONE OF THE BEST ADVENTURE MOVIE I HAVE SEEN. MUCH BETTER THEN JURRASIC PARK OR THE LOST WORLD WHICH ARE JUST BORING TO WATCH. IT SHOULD HOWEVER HAVE A PG-13 RATING BECAUSE THERE IS VIOLENCE AND A STABBING. ITS A GOOD MOVIE FOR DINOSAUR BUFFS AND FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES A GOOD ADVENTURE MOVIE.
11 Baby, Secret of the Lost Legend
I really enjoy the movie, but disappointed it was not released
in wide screen , the way it was filmed.
12 Enjoyable Adventure film which not for Very Young.
When a Couple of Adventurious People (William Katt & Sean Young) have discover of a family of Brontosauri. But when an evil man (Patrick Mc Goohan) tries to make money out of this Discovery.
Directed by B.W.L. Norton (More American Graffiti), this film offers more than a cute fable. The Film Violence and a Hint of Sex represent Disney`s attempt to appeal to a wider audience. The Real Scene Stealers is the film`s Special Effetcs of the Ancient Critters make the show worth watching. Sadly the DVD is not on Widescreen Super Techniscope (2.35:1) format. Grade:B+.
13 A fantastic extrapolation of reality into fiction
This is an excellent story that, while clearly fictitious, well represents the treatment of exotic animals by humans. As in real life, profiteers feel the need to exploit nature for their own benefit. Unlike real life, this movie has a happy ending. A PG-13 rating would probably be more appropriate; while there are topless women, we are talking National Geographic topless, not Penthouse topless.
14 This legend should remain lost!
Don't be fooled by this movie's "cute" title and premise! Reviews on other web sites led me to believe this was a children's movie. Wrong!
Within the first half of the movie you see topless women, a stabbing, cursing and one of the dinosaur parents shot by numerous automatic rifles. I have no idea what happens in the last half of the movie. I turned it off and read books and worked puzzles with my son, who I had bought the movie for.
My advice is don't buy this movie and instead spend true quality time with your child.
