Walking with Dinosaurs : The 3D Movie
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.”
