My favourite film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=basqaS3ypcw)
My favourite film is Dinosaur. It’s a brilliant cartoon and the main character is a cute little dinosaur called Aladar. I saw it on my birthday with my parents and my big brother.
In the film, Aladar is a baby dinosaur and he comes out of a very big egg. Some kind animals look after him because he hasn’t got any parents. There is a terrible accident and they all go to a new country. In the new country, Aladar tries to help his unusual family find a safe place to live.
It’s my favourite film because the cartoons are beautiful, Aladar is kind, the music is good and the story is exciting. Also, the film has lots of amazing special effects.
