We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story: Difference between revisions

* [[Force Feeding]]: How Neweyes gets the dinosaurs to take Brain Grain in the first place.

* [[Gentle Giant]]: Rex.

** Incidentally, while Leno and King seemingly turn up in any movie that'll have them, this was Cronkite's only feature film.

* [[Just Eat Him]]: One of the dinosaurs ''did'' consider doing this to Screweyes, until he brought up the fact that since the dinosaurs are smarter now, they should act civil. {{spoiler|Later, when they aren't so civil, Rex was ''this'' close to eating Screweyes, but [[Kill Him Already|much to the dismay of a couple of people]], [[The Power of Love]] prevents him from doing so}}.

* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: After Screweyes and his [[Circus of Fear]] shows up the movie takes on a decidedly darker turn. The villain is genuinely charismatic and the goofy dinosaurs are no longer funny, even before he turns them monstrous. While it is in no way an appropriate direction for this silly kid's film to take, for older viewers who are into weird animation, it's the best part of the movie -- but it is also short (even shorter without the deleted scenes).

* [[The Long List]]: Stubb’s quitting speech.

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Both Neweyes and Screweyes qualify.

* [[Mind Control Eyes]]

* [[Miniature Senior Citizens]]: Doctor Bleeb.

* [[Random Events Plot]]

* [[The Runaway]]: Louie, soon joined by Cecilia.

** Some of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade balloons are shaped like cartoon characters like [[Clifford the Big Red Dog]] and [[Spider Man]].

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Elsa.

* [[Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying]]: If for no other reason than the implication that dinosaurs aren't appealing to kids unless they're turned into cuddly goofballs.

** Woog and Dweeb, a Triceratops and Parasaurolophus respectively, are both seen eating hotdogs of all things.

*** Then again, Triceratops might had been an omnivore, and herbivorous animals do occasionally eat meat (although having a diet like Woog's and Dweeb's would certainly be unhealthy).
