Dinosaur is a 2000 American live-action/computer-animated adventure drama film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation in collaboration with The Secret Lab and Industrial Light & Magic. It was directed and produced by Steven Spielberg, written by Michael Crichton, Thom Enriquez, John Harrison and Robert Nelson Jacobs, and co-produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Pam Marsden. The film was released by Walt Disney Pictures from a co-production of Amblin Entertainment and The Kennedy/Marshall Company on May 19, 2000 and is the 39th film and the first computer-animated film in the Disney Animated Canon. At officially $127.5 million, it was the most expensive theatrical movie release of the year. While the main characters in Dinosaur are computer-animated, most of the film's backgrounds were filmed on location. Several backgrounds were found in Canaima National Park in Venezuela; various tepuis and Angel Falls also appear in the film. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who generally praised the animation, direction, screenplay, musical score, voice acting and a homage to Universal's Spielberg-helmed Jurassic Park franchise. However, it became a box-office success, grossing $349.8 million over a $127.5 million budget.
