LOS ANGELES – (May 11, 2000) – Disney Interactive and Ubi Soft Entertainment announced the debut of Disney’s Dinosaur at E3 for the PlayStation game console and the Game Boy Color. The videogame, based on the film Disney’s Dinosaur, will also be available for Sega Dreamcast, the PlayStation 2 game console and Nintendo’s next-generation game console known as Dolphin. The Game Boy Color version of Disney’s Dinosaur is due in stores late May and the PlayStation game console version is slated for release in Q3-2000. The film is scheduled to open May 19, 2000 in the United States and Christmas, 2000 in Europe.

Disney’s Dinosaur takes gamers on an interactive adventure filled with cinematic sequences taken directly from the film and 11 exciting levels in the Playstation version. In this action game, players must combine the physical skills of three heroes (Aladar, the Iguanodon, Zini, the Lemur and Flia the Pteranodon) in order to fight hostile dinosaurs encountered in unknown locations throughout the expedition. The “points system” of the game allows the skills of each character to progress during the game – the more successful a character proves to be in a fight or a quest, the more proficient his skills will become. Gorgeous real-time 3-D graphics, four different universes and four types of missions make this innovative and unique live-action thriller a prehistoric fight for survival.

The story of Disney’s Dinosaur begins at the end of the Mesozoic era where dinosaurs roam the earth and gigantic winged creatures soar over miles of raging seas. When an egg is snatched and dropped from an Iguanodon’s nest, it tumbles into a tree on an isolated island and is found by a family of friendly lemurs. Life is peaceful for Aladar, the Iguanodon and his lemur family until a meteor collides with Earth and the island is destroyed by fire. Aladar and his family are forced to move to the mainland -- life as they knew it is over. Velociraptors and Carnotaurs stalk the family, food and water are scarce and their future appears bleak. Join Aladar, Zini, and Flia as they confront the unleashed forces of nature while fighting massive dinosaurs in order to protect their friends and lead them to the safety of the Nesting Grounds.

Disney Interactive is delighted to be collaborating with Ubi Soft Entertainment to bring the beauty and innovation of Disney’s Dinosaur to life in the world of interactive entertainment.

Yves Guillemot, CEO, Ubi Soft Entertainment said, “Fans of Disney’s Dinosaur will find that Ubi Soft is committed to making a game with the same incredible visual elements and thrilling intensity found in the film.”
