Well aware that this review is going to be very similar in wording to my reviews for Dingo Pictures' 'The Musicians of Bremen' and 'Hercules', but all of Dingo Picture's output has so much of the same flaws that it is hard not to repeat oneself.
It is easy to see why the animations of Dingo Pictures are relatively obscure, though those who have had the misfortune of seeing any of their output (which along with their equally low-budget computer animated counterpart Video Brinquedo have not once made anything worthwhile) but cannot forget their awfulness.
As was said before, it is hard to know where to start when there are no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and even for a studio with next to nothing worthwhile 'The Little Dinosaur' is one of their worst. The animation is appalling, even for low-budget animation, the flat colours, very simplistic backgrounds and lack of detail and derivative, recycled and creepy character animation as well as a style that makes art of primary school children who draw and paint in half an hour or less seem more accomplished.
Music always sounds misplaced and never fitting with what's going on, not to mention that it very rarely stops. The script is incredibly repetitive and juvenile, with over-used and over-obvious narration that sounds like a monotone narrator reading out a storybook for an audio book/recording, that it will insult any adult is bad enough but even young children will feel dumber after hearing some of the dialogue here. The story blatantly rips off 'The Land Before Time' (which is actually a great film), and feels stretched and 'The Little Dinosaur' is not even that long, with incredibly plodding pacing, and is very disjointed and goes nowhere a lot of the time.
Characters are excruciatingly irritating, not a likable or interesting character among them, while the sound effects are bizarre and randomly placed and the voice acting is amateurish even by low-budget animation standards, often being annoying, poorly recorded, creepy-sounding and incomprehensible and even ill-fitting.
To sum up, among the worst of Dingo Pictures' very dubious output. 1/10. Bethany Cox
