About The Christmas Dinosaur
Eight-year-old Jason Barnes is a dinosaur freak. All he wants for Christmas is a high-tech robotic toy called Dino-Bot. Unable to wait, he opens one of his presents early. What he finds, however, is a petrified dinosaur egg. The egg hatches and a baby dinosaur begins to grow at an alarming rate. Jason realizes that he needs to find it a bigger home! Now if only he can keep it hidden from his parents long enough to reunite the baby dinosaur with his family in time for Christmas.
Directed by Bruce Johnson, The Christmas Dinosaur leans on a strong ensemble — Jules de Jongh, Tom Eastwood, Anjella Mackintosh — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2004.
