Dinosaur (film) - Cast and Characters

Cast and Characters

  • D. B. Sweeney as Aladar, a brave and compassionate Iguanodon who has been adopted into a family of lemurs and does what he can to make sure that the old and weak aren't left behind during the herd's migration.
  • Ossie Davis as Yar, a lemur patriarch whose occasional gruff demeanor is just a front covering his more compassionate interior. He is the father of Plio and Zini and the grandfather of Suri.
  • Alfre Woodard as Plio, a lemur matriarch who cares for her family.
  • Max Casella as Zini, Aladar's best friend and wisecracking sidekick, Suri's uncle and Plio's younger brother.
  • Hayden Panettiere as Suri, Aladar's stepsister, Plio's daughter and Yar's granddaughter.
  • Samuel E. Wright as Kron, an Iguanodon leading a herd of dinosaur survivors who is characterized by a strict adherence to social Darwinism. He believes in survival of the fittest, which repeatedly clashes with Aladar's compassionate manner.
  • Peter Siragusa as Bruton, Kron's domineering second-in-command. He is betrayed and left for the dead by Kron, and ultimately gives his life to kill one of the Carnotaurus to save Aladar, the lemurs, and the weaker dinosaurs.
  • Julianna Margulies as Neera, Kron's sister, who ends up falling in love with Aladar because of his compassionate ways.
  • Joan Plowright as Baylene, an elderly and dainty Brachiosaurus, who is the last of her species as she hasn't seen another Brachiosaurus in the herd's journeys after the meteor hit.
  • Della Reese as Eema, a wizened, elderly and slow-moving Styracosaurus, and has a pet Ankylosaurus named Url.

Frank Welker has done the unspoken dinosaurs including, the Carnotaurs, the Velociraptors, Url and other dinosaurs.

Famous quotes containing the words cast and/or characters:

    There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 8:12.

    Referring to “the children of the kingdom ... cast out into outer darkness.” The words are also used in the parable of the talents, in Matthew 25:30, said of the “unprofitable servant.”

    To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has “never had a chance, poor devil,” you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.
    Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
