We've put together a list of the best dinosaur movies that aren't in the Jurassic Park franchise. And no, we won't be including the inexplicable cult classic The VelociPastor, because it's an absolute dumpster fire of a movie!
The Land Before Time (1988, directed by Don Bluth)
Although it's aimed at younger children, The Land Before Time is charming enough to be enjoyed by everyone.
Although The Good Dinosaur doesn't quite reach Pixar's usual standards, the animation – particularly of the landscapes – is beautiful, and the story is simple, heartfelt, and engaging.
Dinosaur (2000, directed by Ralph Zondag and Eric Leighton)
The details in the titular creatures themselves and the settings in which they dwell are spectacular – and, of course, any children watching will love the fact that the dinos talk.
Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959, directed by Henry Levin)
Although the special effects are badly dated, this is still a highly engaging movie. It has characters you root for, monsters you don't, plenty of action, and big epic sets.
