Cannes, France -- (Feb. 16th, 2000) -- Disney Interactive and Ubi Soft Entertainment announced today they will develop, produce and distribute new games based on Disney's upcoming feature film, Dinosaur. The global agreement includes PlayStation, PlayStation2, Nintendo’s next-generation game console known as Dolphin, Sega Dreamcast and PC CD-ROM formats. Disney Interactive will retain all distribution rights for the PC CD-ROM format. Dinosaur is scheduled to open May 26th, 2000 in the United States and Christmas, 2000 in Europe.
Dinosaur-based games will let players immerse themselves in the film's prehistoric setting where they can experience the thrilling adventures of Aladar, an iguanadon with a unique destiny. Players will have the chance to leap back in time millions of years to the end of the Mesozoic era. Once there, they will meet pterodactyls, lemurs and other types of dinosaurs – imbued with the power of speech – who will lead them back to the land of peace. The game's vivid 3D graphics reproduce faithfully and take full advantage of the movie’s computer-generated 3D images merged with real filmed backgrounds.
"Disney Interactive remains on course, firmly committed to expanding our presence in the game console market,” said Jan Smith, president, Disney Interactive. “We are convinced that the combined talents of Ubi Soft and Disney Interactive will render all the magic of the Dinosaur universe and enrich it with new interactive adventures."
“The game’s simultaneous release in Europe with the Disney film event is a major step in Ubi Soft’s growth,” stated Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubi Soft Entertainment. "The games will profit from all of the group’s know-how in 3D image creation.”
Disney Interactive, part of the Disney Consumer Products division of The Walt Disney Company, develops, markets and globally distributes a wide variety of interactive family-oriented entertainment and educational CD-ROMs and video games.
