At the conclusion of production on "Dinosaur," the digital studio joined creative forces with Dream Quest (Disney's award-winning effects house) to form a new entity called The Secret Lab (TSL). Over a four-year period of time, the production not only established a facility that rivaled any in the industry but also had a milestone film to show for its efforts. To meet the demands of this enormous visual effects effort, Disney set out to create a first-rate digital studio from the ground up. Accompanying the visual thrills is a powerful and entertaining story of survival and adaptability with an Iguanodon named Aladar as the central character. In all, the film's cast features more than thirty different species of prehistoric creatures ranging in size from the 12-inch gliding lizard to the 120-foot long, 100-ton Brachiosaur. A prime example of the film's unprecedented scope and scale occurs in the awesome opening sequence where the camera swoops through a herd of grazing dinosaurs numbering in the thousands. With more than 1300 sophisticated individual effects shots, this cinematic marvel is one of the most ambitious and complex of its kind. Joining the ranks of Hollywood's all-time greatest and most impressive visual effects spectacles, Walt Disney Pictures' "Dinosaur" immerses moviegoers in a photorealistic world of wonders with its stunning blend of digitally enhanced live-action photography, special effects wizardry and computer-animated characters.
