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:

    I cast my heart into my rhymes,
    That you, in the dim coming times,
    May know how my heart went with them
    After the red-rose-bordered hem.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
