    • Trivia
      Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson were only on-set together for one day. Stiller talked to a toothpick for the Jedediah scenes. Wilson filmed all of his parts three months later.
    • Goofs
      Theodore Roosevelt was known to have a high-pitched, squeaky voice due to being a severe asthmatic. However, Teddy explains that he is a wax figure of Roosevelt designed to appear very heroic, so it makes sense that he'd have a deeper, more resonant voice, not unlike Robin Williams.

      Easter Island Head: Hey! Dum-dum!

      Larry: Yes?

      Easter Island Head: You give me gum-gum!

      Larry: I give you gum-gum?

      Easter Island Head: You new Dum-dum. You give me gum-gum.

      Larry: Gee, okay, you know what? I have no gum-gum. Sorry. And my name isn't Dum-dum. My name's Larry.

      Easter Island Head: No, your name Dum-dum.

      [People screaming]

      Easter Island Head: Oh, you in trouble, Dum-dum. You better run-run. From Attila the Hun-hun.

      [Larry runs as Attila and his gang are chasing him]

      Easter Island Head: See you later, Dum-dum!

    GREAT FUN, family or otherwise. Well worth your time and money.
    Excellent fun flick... and best movie Dinosaur in a long time ;-)

    I promised my 8th grade nephew I'd take him to a movie this Christmas break - without his younger brothers and sisters. He originally wanted to see that dragon movie, but he found out it sucked, so I suggested this one.

    With teens, there's the fine balance between too "kid" oriented and too dark, but he was laughing along the rest of the theater, and lost himself in the fun with the rest of us.

    He wants to see it again, *I* want to see it again, and I recommend it for anyone with a sense of fun. It's also the first Ben Stiller movie in a while I can say that about. I hope you all reward the studio for putting out a true "family movie" for the holidays, so we'll see more in the future.

    It was good to see Dick Van Dyke, Andy Rooney and Bill Cobbs in light, comic roles, and Robin Williams in a solid supporting role. They all lend the movie more "credibility."

    GREAT FUN, easily worth 2 hours and $10.00, more than once over.
