San Diego Reader

Feature-length cartoon beneath the Spielberg banner, in which a quartet of highly evolved dinosaurs -- English-speaking, peace-loving, on account of eating Prof. Neweyes's Brain Grain breakfast food -- travel to contemporary New York in the professor's time machine, and encounter his evil brother, Prof. Screweyes, ringmaster of the Eccentric Circus and dispenser of a Brain Grain antidote called Brain Drain. It has some clever strokes of animation (e.g., the pterodactyl's skyscraper-hopping) and some hefty themes, but the overall flow, or drift, or torpor, is soporific. 1993.
