quite good, but could have had a better ending. This was one of the orange bafta 60 second film competition finalists from my region; so lets see something new!

It was new to me. It thought it was cute and I liked the way it ended with the boy yelling cut, and then laughing. It made me smile.

THE BIG DINOSAUR LOOKS LIKE MY MATE ANDY BARRINGTON. COLOURFUL SHORT BUT THE AUDIO LETS IT DOWN A BIT I THINK

I like it. There sure is a lot going on, it must have taken you a long time to make. I bet this would be great film to see in the cinema before a PIXAR film. Kids love slapstick humor.

Very good animation, reminded me of Creature Comforts.

A little bit like Creature Comforts but without the talking animals and dare I say it a bit more imagination. I like the design too.

Pretty good. What were the puppets made from?

Thanks for all the comments. Especially the one from Trevor. I am a fan of your work.
Here's a bit about the making of Little Dinosaurs. I interviewed my son for 30 minutes then edited it down to one minute which I used as a basis for this film.
It was all made with computers, so there are no real puppets, only virtual ones. I did do a few paintings in the real world which were scanned and used as textures.
It then took an average of three artists five weeks to complete. Needless to say a lot of work went into it, so it's great to hear that most of you like it.
Best Wishes,
Dana

I thought I'd share this with you. I showed my 6 year old son your film and he loved it. He's seen it three times now and he still laughs. Congratulations.

I thought it was very creative and clever. It was also well animated. I think this is the second best film i've seen so far, next to clouded. Well done.

Nice to see an entertaining film that the whole family can enjoy. There certainly aren't a lot of good child films on this site. Good work.

Great Animation, looks like a lot of work went into it. So much is going on in the background. Would be great to see it on the big screen.

reminds me of those programs with the children talking over the animation, so not much originality. but was very enjoyable to watch.

Originality is a peculiar thing. It all depends on how specific you want to get. Animating to a child's voice is not a new idea, but how you've done it I think is. Well at least I haven't seen an animation where a bunch of dinosaurs react to what a child is saying. It's like all the dinosaurs are waiting to hear what the boy says next, which I thought made for enjoyable viewing. Congratulations.
