Disney's Dinosaur is a role-playing game based on the movie of the same name. Three characters are controlled: Flia the pteradon, Aladar the Iguanadon and Zini the lemur, each of whom has different abilities. Flia can fly, Aladar can wade through water and crush rocks and Zini can fit through small spaces and pick things up. The game is seen from a top-down perspective, with the player switching characters on the fly. As in the movie, they must work together to reach the sacred nesting grounds for water and food after the rest of the world dries up.
Throughout the game, the characters' abilities are upgraded via an Intelligent Points System in an RPG-like addition. The game includes FMV clips from the movie and a dinosaur encyclopedia with information about real dinosaurs.
The PlayStation version of Disney's Dinosaur features different levels and more colourful graphics than its console counterparts, the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast versions.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an adventure game where players control Aladar, a dinosaur adopted by lemurs, and his friends. The premise involves Aladar's journey to find his own kind and lead them to a new nesting ground after a disaster. Players will guide Aladar and his companions through various challenges, including avoiding predators, solving environmental puzzles, and helping their herd.
Story
The Story
Long ago, a hero of plant-eating dinosaurs gently awaits the early hatching of their eggs. Danger lurks everywhere in this prehistoric world. One day, a bloodthirsty Carnotaur invades their protected nesting grounds. Most of the herd escapes, but many of the eggs are destroyed.
One egg survives, stolen by a ravenous Oviraptor. It begins a long journey over land and sea. The voyage ends as the mysterious egg falls through a cluster of trees on a lush island paradise. The island is home to a peaceful clan of lemurs who wonder what sort of monster might hatch from this egg.
Within moments, their questions are answered as an adorable baby dinosaur breaks out of the egg, quickly softening the hearts of the lemurs. The baby is adopted into the lemur family. They name him Aladar.
Many years pass, and Aladar grows up happy on his island paradise with his best friend, Zini. But one day, they see a wonderful sight in the sky. That day could have been the end of everything, but for Aladar and his friends, it was the beginning of a new life.
Island Paradise
Welcome to Lemur Island: a tropical paradise. Here, our young heroes can learn the skills they will need to make it in the world. Practice with each herd until you have confidence in your abilities.
A Strange New World
When disaster strikes, everyone has to flee from Lemur Island. Aladar, Zini, and their family have found themselves washed up on a strange and desolate beach. Flia is nowhere to be found. Go look for her and give her whatever help she may need.
Footprints in the Sand
Until now, Aladar was the only dinosaur the lemurs have ever seen. When they find wind-swept footprints, the curious lemurs follow them to investigate. They need to be careful because not all of the footprints lead to friendly creatures.
Keeping Up With The Herd
Now that they've found some friends, Aladar must help everybody catch up to the herd. Keep alert for hungry meat-eaters who want to make a feast out of one of your new friends. Be certain to take good care of everyone in the group.
The Lake
Finally, the herd has reached the lake. No one knew that the water was going to be all dried up. See if Aladar and his friends can dig up some traces of water before thirst overcomes the older dinosaurs.
Baby Sitting
The herd has moved on and mistakenly left behind a few small stragglers. In this little canyon, there are four hidden Iguanodons. Maybe Zini can convince them to come out of hiding and set them to safety before everyone moves on.
Finding Neera
Neera sounds like she's in a lot of trouble. Somewhere out in the darkness, big mean meat-eaters are looking for a late evening snack and Neera is on the menu. The heroes must find her before the predators do.
Confronting Kron
It is time to get back together with the hero. Send Flia out to find Kron and then see if Aladar can convince him to listen to reason. Stay alert during the night to keep everyone safe.
Unwelcome Guest
Our heroes have found refuge in a cave, or so they thought. There is an unwelcome guest here. Nobody will be able to rest until the enemy is defeated.
Mountain Lane
This pleasant mountain trail is full of pitfalls and obstacles. Move the entire group along the path, avoiding the many dangers.
Unpleasant Company
The chase is on! The angry Carnotaur is after Aladar and Zini who are trying to get to the head and let them know there is a better way to the nesting ground. Try to keep the two heroes from becoming a lunch special by keeping them out of the meat-eater's reach.
The Final Showdown
There is only one thing standing between the hero and the path to the nesting ground; a very big thing with sharp teeth. Teamwork will help the heroes to push this giant over the brink.

Enemies & Characters
ALBERTOSAUR
The Albertosaur was a meat eater with a large head, powerful back legs, tiny arms and only two fingers on each hand. Scientists today are puzzled as to the purpose of the Albertosaur's odd arms and hands.
CARNOTAURUS
The Carnotaurus was a theropod; a meat-eater that first evolved some 200 million years ago. It had horns on its head like a bull; hence its name "Carno", flesh eating, "Taurus", bull.
CHAMPOSAURUS
Although unrelated, the Champsosaurus looked remarkably like the modern crocodile. It had a long slim snout filled with sharp teeth and extremely powerful jaws with which it ate fish, turtles and mollusks. It averaged about five feet in length.
PTERANODON
The Pteranodon had wings that measured 23 feet, but the entire dinosaur weighed only 40 pounds. It likely glided on updrafts since it would have been difficult to flap such enormous wings, and it had a long head that likely stabilized it during flight.
OVIRAPTOR
Oviraptors were relatively small, measuring six feet in length, with a large beak that may have been used for breaking hard surfaces. This led to speculation that it ate eggs, earning it the name "egg thief."
RAPTOR
The Raptor had large slashing claws on its feet, making it one of the most dangerous dinosaurs of its time. It was only six feet long, suggesting it was likely very fast and maneuverable.
SPINOSAUR
The Spinosaur had a sail of skin held up with bony spikes on its back for heating and cooling, a crocodile-like head with many pointed teeth, and a huge claw on its thumb. There is evidence that it was a fish eater.
STYRACHOSAUR
The Styrachosaur had a spectacular array of horns protruding from the back of its skull and a large horn on the tip of its nose. These defenses would have made it a difficult meal for any predator.
Items & Weapons
LIGHTNING TREE
When you approach, lightning will strike the tree. You have a limited amount of time to collect the lightning bolts around the tree before they disappear. The lightning bolts that are collected allow the character to perform their special move. Without lighting energy, the character will perform their standard attack.
BREAKABLE ROCKS
These are rocks that Alabar can break with his tail. Zini can then use the pieces to throw at enemies.
STONES
They can be found everywhere. If stones are in the inventory, Zini will use them automatically when he attacks.
STICKS
Only Flia can pick up sticks, she grabs sticks by landing on them.
FRUIT
Zini can gather fruits for himself and his friends. Eating fruit will restore a character's health.
CRYSTALS
You will need to gather crystals to restore yourself when a character dies.
HEALTH PLANTS
Walking over a plant restores your health.
