Dinosaur has one of the most beloved soundtracks of the Disney Animated Canon, if not of cinema history period, thanks to the genius of James Newton Howard.


  • One of the most acclaimed things about the soundtrack is how timeless it feels. There was no music during the Mesozoic Era, so Howard was free to invent whatever kind of music he wanted for the score. Altogether, the soundtrack is incredibly huge, powerful, and epic.
  • "Inner Sanctum/Nesting Grounds" is the track that opens the film. It's tender, sweet, and makes you feel like you're safe in your mother's arms, as Aladar's egg is shown under the loving gaze of his mother. The track then goes on to become a peaceful, magical accompaniment to our introduction to the prehistoric world. It's like a magical dream as we see the baby Parasaurolophus frolicking or the tremendous Brachiosaurus drinking.
  • Aladar's Leitmotif, heard from 1:20 to 2:03 in "Inner Sanctum/The Nesting Grounds", can be heard throughout the film usually when he's being kind or compassionate to others. The cue proves that if Aladar's mother had ever gotten to meet him, she'd be immensely proud of him for being as loving as she was.
  • "The Egg Travels" is without a doubt the Signature Song of Dinosaur. It starts off quiet and whimsical to accompany the Oviraptor stealing Aladar's egg, but soon becomes a powerful piece that only grows in scale as it goes on. It even makes a labyrinthodont swallowing Aladar's egg, only to spit it out, look epic! The tiny Pachyrhinosaurus look incredible, and then the chorus kicks in once the Pteranodon approaches the plateau teeming with dinosaurs. The music makes us feel like we're the ones going for a ride, and without the score, this scene wouldn't be nearly as incredible.
  • "The Courtship" is a fun, bouncy theme for the lemurs' annual mating ritual. It's just as thrilling as the on-screen acrobatics of the lemurs are. At the end, it takes a slow, sad turn as Aladar privately laments being the only member of his kind on Lemur Island, but it's still quite lovely. This track also brings in the talented African chanting of Lebo M., who hasn't lost a beat since giving The Lion King (1994) his voice.
  • "The End of Our Island" is a track appropriate for the apocalypse. It starts off quiet, mysterious, and almost curious, as the lemurs and Aladar observe the meteor shower with awe and curiosity. Slowly, suspense starts building as on-screen, Yar senses that something is wrong. Finally, the meteor itself arrives. The track swells with an almighty chorus of strings and an eerie, ethereal people's chorus. As the lemurs watch in fear, we viewers know what this means - the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs has arrived, and thus the music is like a horrific "Pomp and Circumstance" as we know what's coming. Once it finally strikes, all hell breaks loose, and the score becomes frantic as Aladar and his family race to find safety. When the family escapes the island for the ocean, we feel the bittersweetness of it as the soundtrack is both epic and saddening as the group is forced to abandon their home.
  • "They're All Gone" is the immediate aftermath of the previous track. It's soft, tender, and has a quiet One-Woman Wail as the survivors take in the destruction of the mainland and their home. When Suri realizes that her entire world has been destroyed, the music becomes very bittersweet as Plio can only hold her weeping daughter. Aladar has the group move on, and the music becomes a bit hopeful as he observes a flock of Icthyornis flying inland, but becomes even sadder when we zoom out to see the wrecked mainland.
  • "Raptors/Aladar Meets The Herd" note is actually the complete track from the film, as the official track combines the raptor/herd scene with the climax. starts off quiet, but the tension grows as we see the group surrounded by a pack of hungry raptors. The tempo swells and culminates in a loud blaring of horns as the raptor bares its' teeth. The ensuing chase music is frantic and epic, the accompanying piano perfectly representing the persistent threat of the raptors. Then the herd arrives, and the music swells even further to become an epic chorus of horns and people as the group meets the vast herd. Then Baylene arrives, and the music reaches its' climax as we take in the sight of this mighty giant stepping over Aladar like he was a small rock.
  • "Across the Desert" is one of the most powerful pieces on the soundtrack. The strings towards the beginning reflect Aladar's anxiety as he prepares for his first crossing, and then the chorus begins, accompanying the stomping of the herd as they begin. We are made to feel as downtrodden and weary as the slowly marching herd. When the camera zooms out to show the herd crossing a large dune at night, the chorus portrays our awe at the sight. Aladar comes across a dead Struthiomimus and there's a quiet, eerie vocalizing from the chorus as Aladar contemplates the creature's death - and that his friends could be the next to fall to the raptors. The tension then builds a bit before the raptors arrive to eat the kill. Then we have the climax of the piece, as we see the herd's silhouette cross another dune, outlined by the sunrise. It's one of the most powerful shots of the movie and really shows how down the herd is. At the end of the track, the Carnotaurs arrive, and the music plays up our terror at seeing two of the monsters we met in the prologue stalking the herd.
  • "Finding Water" is a lengthy piece depicting the herd's arrival at the lake. The music starts out more and more hopeful as they've finally arrived at the lake, and Eema is nearly delirious with joy. Then we see that the lake has apparently dried up, and the wind instruments help portray how desolate the place is. When Kron moves the herd out regardless, we feel the herd's pain as they reluctantly drag themselves forward, and as Eema sadly goes down into the lake bed to clearly die. When Aladar and Baylene find water, the score turns epic with the chorus from "The Egg Travels", and turns heartwarming as Aladar happily watches his family drink at last.
  • "Aladar and Neera" accompanies one of the film's best Action Film Quiet Drama Scenes. It starts with a slight edit of Aladar's theme as we find the herd resting peacefully, their thirst quenched. When Aladar goes to bring the orphans some water, the score is so pure and pleasant it can be literally compared to drinking water after a long time without it. Neera arrives, and the score turns sweet, incorporating Aladar's leitmotif at times, as he convinces her to stand up for others despite Kron's wishes. It's a tender piece and a warm one as the two fall in love - though the sinister horns at the end effectively portray Kron's disapproval.
  • "Aladar Moves the Herd", though erroneously titled, is effectively suspenseful and brings a mounting sense of fear as the herd flees the lake bed with the news that the Carnotaurs are nearby. Aladar's plea for the herd to consider the elders really does feel desperate, and Aladar's panic as he tries to get his friends to move faster are felt through the score. Finally, when it's clear they cannot catch up to the herd, a low horn blows, underlining their failure and new vulnerability. As night falls, when the Carnotaurs arrive at the lake bed, there's quiet, but anxious little horn that plays as they examine the huge amount of tracks...
  • "The Cave" begins with a sweet little horn to signal that our heroes will be safe for now. A series of strings give us Bruton's pain as he struggles to enter the cave, met by Aladar's leitmotif as he helps him inside. It tapers off a bit as the score seems to exhale in exhaustion, ready to tuck in for the night. The rest of the piece is made up of very peaceful strings and horns as the misfits settle in for the night, happy despite their predicament, while Bruton's strings accentuate the fact that he's ultimately alone and hurt because of his and Kron's mentality. The end of the track has a very quiet, sad set of horns and strings as Bruton admits to Plio that he feels like he is doomed to die here, and Plio tells him that he can choose whatever he wants to do with an arrangement of Aladar's leitmotif. The tail end is a hopeful, but still bittersweet horn as Bruton takes in Plio's plant.
  • "The Carnotaur Attack" accompanies one of Disney's most terrifying villain attacks. It starts off quiet, but suspenseful as the Carnotaurs approach the cave and close in. When Aladar is only mere feet away from them, the tension is so thick you could swear it was part of a dinosaur's hide. A volley of terrified horns signals that the Carnotaur has found Aladar thanks to the lightning outside, and there's another frantic chase as Aladar is nearly killed and eaten. Bruton then faces off with the Carnotaurs, accompanied by brutal horns and trumpets. The music only gets more frantic as Bruton desperately tries to flee the cave-in, but fails. Aladar and Plio find his corpse just as he dies, accompanied by a sad ringing of a bell as the old soldier passes on. The final scene is eerie and scary as the surviving Carnotaur leaves the cave, clearly swearing vengeance.
  • "Neera Rescues the Orphans" is a brief piece, only a minute long. It's mostly depicting the struggle of the ever-shrinking herd in the final stretch to the Nesting Grounds, but is topped off by a sweet scene of Neera helping the orphans, and a vocal version of Aladar's leitmotif plays as she searches fruitlessly for him on the horizon.
  • "Breakout" is another contender for most powerful tracks in Disney history. Aladar has given up hope, and the soundtrack slowly begins to swell a bit as Baylene rallies him with one of the most powerful speeches in Disney history. Then the gloves come off and the sweet old Brachiosaur begins mercilessly pounding away at the dead end, and the real part of the track begins. With each clash of cymbals, the dinosaurs get closer and closer to proving how strong they really are. Pounding and pounding away, the score keeps building and building until at last they break through. The chorus builds and builds as the group finds they have arrived to the Nesting Grounds! A spectacular rendition of the chorus from "The Egg Travels" plays as they take in the sights of the fruits of their standing together. No matter how bleak things were, these misfits still banded together and got shit done.
  • "It Comes With A Pool" starts with a happy, slightly faster reprise of the chorus from "The Courtship", before it quickly turns into a rescue mission as Aladar goes after the herd. The score is desperate as Aladar races to save Kron and Neera - and turns highly suspenseful as Aladar finds the carcass of a Stygimiloch and encounters a Carnotaur. Aladar barely escapes without detection, and the music swells again as we realize how close the Carnotaur is to the herd.
  • "Kron and Aladar Fight" really kicks off with a quick, short, but no less powerful reprise of "Breakout" as Aladar returns to the herd. The ensuing score is quiet but intense as Aladar and Kron argue over their next course of action. The score then reprises the battle between Bruton and the Carnotaurs as Kron attacks Aladar and the two battle for leadership - but when Neera betrays him, there's a slow swell of Aladar's leitmotif as the herd chooses him as their leader.
  • "Carnotaur Standoff" is the climax of the film and it doesn't disappoint. It may reprise the track from "Raptors", but this is the scene it was truly destined for. The scene is already epic enough, but the chorus and, well, everything fits so well that it becomes one of the most powerful climaxes in history. Then when Kron is cornered, there's a One-Woman Wail that accurately portrays how he's trapped like a rat and he has no one to blame for his predicament but himself. The ensuing fight is accompanied by down and dirty horns and trumpets. When Aladar charges the Carnotaur for the final time, you can feel his aggression and frustration as he clearly resolves to end it once and for all. The end of the track is a somber, morose piece initially as Neera mourns Kron. It turns hopeful again as the herd finally arrives at the Nesting Grounds, accurately portraying the herd's relief and joy as Aladar welcomes them home.
  • "Epilogue" caps off the film with a sweet, bouncy tune as the group gathers around Aladar and Neera's nest, and it becomes a full reprise of "The Egg Travels", only this time you feel the happiness and joy of the cast as they celebrate the birth of the new generation and their own happy ending.
  • "End Titles" combines the highlights of "The Egg Travels", "Breakout", and "Raptors/Meeting the Herd". It also features a sweet remix of "Aladar and Neera" between "The Egg Travels" and "Breakout". A peaceful rendition of Aladar's theme on horns plays, and closes out the film and this wonderful soundtrack.

    The existence of these gigantic creatures was known to mankind thanks to the found fossils. Dinosaurs were discovered by paleontologist Richard Owen in 1841, marking the beginning of the age of dinosaurs in the world of science. More than 850 dinosaur species have been discovered in subsequent research. Each fossil found has heightened attention to dinosaurs, which were once fragments of a vast ecosystem. Their living conditions, the causes of mass deaths and the length of time they live are some of the most important questions that have yet to be answered. nine0003

    Causes of dinosaur extinction

    Of course, the world of science has been thinking about this question for many decades. At this point, it is necessary to consider some of the possible reasons for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Among the reasons - a meteor shower, a collision of the world with comets, strong volcanic eruptions on Earth. In 2016, the journal Science published a study revealing some of the facts, conducted by a group of scientists from around the world in order to identify the reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs. Scientists from the United States, Switzerland and the Netherlands for the first time tried to determine the date of the extinction of dinosaurs. They determined that this process took place about 66 million 38 thousand years ago. Then it would be possible to clarify the exact reasons for the destruction. nine0003

    The most popular theory of dinosaur extinction was put forward in the 1980s. The hypothesis put forward by father and son Luis Alvarez and Walter Alvarez is known as the Alvarez hypothesis. According to them, the gas and soil layers dramatically changed the atmosphere, and the climate was formed as a result of the collision of a large meteorite with the earth 66 million years ago. It also led to a drastic drop in temperature. This resulted in the destruction of a large part of the vegetation and the food chain. Failure to meet the food and heating needs of giant dinosaurs reduced their living conditions to zero, which led to their extinction. Research conducted underwater and in the center of the 180-kilometer Chicxulub crater, formed in the Yukon state of Mexico as a result of an alleged cometary impact, revealed several points. Thus, it is assumed that the eruption of dust and gas that took place during the collision could have continued for many years. nine0003

    An article published in National Geographic magazine in June 2019 contains the latest discoveries of scientists. In addition, the fossils found during excavations in North Dakota have become a valuable innovation. The remains of all existing ecosystems before the mass destruction were obtained. It is assumed that the fragments found in the fossil layers, called tektites, have only a cosmic background that was enhanced in the atmosphere and fell out to the surface. Analyzing another theory - massive destruction caused by volcanic eruptions, here we will encounter the justification of scientists. It is estimated that the area known in India as the Deccan Plateau was formed by volcanic eruptions about 60 million years ago (when the dinosaurs were wiped out). The formation of such a significant tectonic zone also means the occurrence of a massive volcanic eruption. This could lead to the existence of dust and gas layers in the atmosphere for many years. As a result, the temperature dropped and the vegetation disappeared. The article mentioned above states that both theories, i.e. meteorite impacts and volcanic eruptions led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Thus, an ecosystem weakened by volcanic eruptions could be destroyed as a result of meteorite collisions. nine0003

    Evidence of these facts may still require many years of extensive and complex research. However, visiting the area where dinosaur fossils were found is not that difficult. These areas are currently open to tourists.

    Kotelnich - Russia

    Dinosaur remains were discovered during excavations in 1933 in Kotelnich, Kirov region, Russia. Research on a large area 25 km from the Vyatka River, Kotelnich, yielded results. Research is still ongoing at Kotelnich, known as the settlement where the first Parareptile skeleton . In 1948, 11 skeletons of Pareiasaurus were found in a 12 km excavation site. This find amazed scientists and has been regarded as the progenitor of the giant tortoises today. The exhibits discovered during the research can be found in the Paleontological Museum located in the village.

    Rukwa Lake - Tanzania

    Tanzania is also known as the area where dinosaurs once lived. The reason for this was the discovery of a skeleton of titanosaurs that lived in the area for 100 million years. Remains found in Pool Lake Rukva surprises with its size. For comparison, it should be noted that the size of the discovered skeleton is equal to the size of several elephants. Tyrannosaurus is included in the list of plantation nuclear dinosaurs. The discovery of this type of fossil in Africa was unexpected in the world of science. Also Nyasasaurus fossils have been found in Tanzania. It is well known that Nyasasaurus lived in the earliest period on Earth over 250 million years ago.

    Aksu-Zhabagly - Kazakhstan

    One of the areas where dinosaurs live is the Aksu-Zhabagly nature reserve in Kazakhstan. These places belong to the Jurassic period. It is well known that these areas were once flooded by the Tethys Sea. Fossils of pliosaurs and flying reptiles have been found here, including in the basin of Lake Karatau. These fossils are exhibited at the Museum of Nature of Kazakhstan. Aksu-Zhabagly nature reserve is open for tourists.

    Gobi Desert - Mongolia

    Dinosaur remains found in Gobi Desert are some of the most amazing finds in the world. A dinosaur skeleton was also found here. Dinosaur eggs were first discovered here. It was a great discovery for the world of science. Eggs of almost all types of dinosaurs have been found during excavations in the Bayn Bulak area. Dinosaur eggs found in the Ulankab area in 1968 were much more extensive. Unfortunately, not a single embryo was found in eggs weighing 1. 7 liters.

    Australia

    Australian fauna is still rich in various animal species. Dinosaur upper jawbone found in rocks along coast of Gippsland (Gippsland) in Victoria's Gippsland. The found specimen of a kangaroo belongs to the herbivorous dinosaur tyrannosaurus. Tyrannosaurus rex fossils found at the site have undermined several theories, as scientists had previously assumed that the species lived only in the Northern Hemisphere.

    In 2007, another fossil was found in Queensland, Australia. However, scientists could not assign this sample to any group. This species of dinosaur named "Zack" dates back to 90 million years ago. Dr. Henry explains this situation by saying that he carries traces of the lost world. Only fossils come to us from this world. An article on the analysis of the fossils, published in the journal Paleontology, says the specimens belong to "bipedal, fast-moving dinosaur species. "

    Argentina - Patagonia

    The most striking fossils discovered so far are those found in the Patagonia region of Argentina. Patagonia has large paleontological areas and fossils. The fossils are said to date back to around 90 million years ago. More gigantic skeletons were found during the exploration. It is assumed that the dinosaurs were the same height as a three-story building. This is one of the three largest dinosaurs found in the world. In an interview with Reuters, Argentine paleontologists comment: "This is a new species, a new group. This find points to a new breed of titanosaurs." A study in Argentina unearthed fossils from a vast ecosystem, including specimens of trees, leaves, and various fish. 70% of fossils can provide useful scientific information. The samples found here make up to 10% of the fossils in the world. nine0003

    China - Liaoning

    Mesozoic fossils date back to 110 or 130 million years. During this time, some mammals, birds and plants were formed. The fossils found in Liaoning have survived to this day in excellent condition due to the protection of the fossils from oxygen in layers of clay and ash. As a result, the soft body shapes of dinosaurs became less rotten. Not only bones, but also whole skeletons were found there. Some of the fossils were in such good condition that it was possible to determine whether they were male or female. nine0003

    Italy - Besano

    In 1993, a species called Besanosaurus was discovered in the Bassano region of Italy. Fossils of Middle Triassic ichthyosaurs have been found in rocks. Scientists have conducted research here using x-ray technology without damaging the fossils. In 1996, new specimens were found in another Italian city, Saltrio. The species, called Soltriosaurus, belonged to a class of carnivores. The fact that Saltriosaurus had three toes on its front paws was also a highlight of paleontologists.
