Animation Adventure Drama Family Fantasy. Rated PG for intense images. It was a story so that they could understand it. While he was looking for traditional animators for some main features, he was also seeking help with the stop-motion dinosaur project. Budgetary concerns were immediately raised.

The studio executives realized the film could be accomplished using a combination of various disciplines: stop-motion animation, animatronics, and live-action photography. Disney asked Green to do a "voice over version" where the characters wouldn't speak but their thoughts would be heard this idea would return later. Unbeknownst to Verhoeven and Tippett, the meteor was bearing down on them. Not that Tippett was totally out of the dinosaur game.

While waiting on one of the Katzenberg meetings, producer Kathleen Kennedy had sent Tippett a galley for an upcoming novel — Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. Later, Tippett says, Verhoeven called him. Jurassic Park , of course, would go on to become the biggest movie of all time at the time and won Tippett a Best Visual Effects Oscar for his pioneering work on those dinosaurs. Still, Tippett admits, his other dinosaur movie "would have been cool.

In , following the opening of its ambitious Disney-MGM Studios theme park in Orlando, Florida, Disney looked to open another new park, this time centered around animals. Imagineer Joe Rohde, known for his attention to detail and his flamboyant style he's the guy on The Imagineering Story with the crazy earrings , was tasked to lead the project.

By , the idea had expanded to involve mythological creatures and extinct animals — dinosaurs. And so Dinosaur trekked along, tied to the park. For a while, the movie was called Countdown to Extinction , like the theme park attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

There wasn't a story exactly, but there was a corporate mandate. Then-senior vice president of production for Walt Disney Feature Animation Kathleen Gavin told Kurtii that the "first reason" to make the movie was that "it tied into the Animal Kingdom project.

The executive didn't have a good answer. According to Gavin, they would build a "digital studio for the entire Disney company," one that would support Imagineering, live-action movies, television, and stand-alone computer-generated features — like Dinosaur. Disney would renovate an abandoned Lockheed building once part of the famous Skunk Works operation and the four-story, ,square-foot space would be home to this new, as-yet-unnamed digital studio with a slight assist from animators at Disney's satellite studio in Florida, down the street from the Animal Kingdom at Disney-MGM.

Leighton already had a relationship with the material, making him the perfect fit. He had been pitched on it by Tippett. The team also included producer Pam Marsden, who now runs animation at Sony, and producer Baker Bloodworth, a longtime Disney man who had just finished Pocahontas for the studio.

Noted illustrator William Stout, who also worked on the Animal Kingdom attraction, provided early designs. But the film's story was still foggy. The amazing thing is that his next draft is rumoured to have been even more extreme.
