Dinosaur Island / Globehunters: It came again from the Bargain Bin! More accurately the clearance bin from Wal*Mart where I picked up this double feature cartoon DVD brought to us from the folks at DIC.

Dinosaur Island was the main bit of interest for me on this disc. This direct-to-DVD movie is about four teenagers who are supposed to be in a sort of Survivor television show and end up crashing on a mesa covered with dinosaurs. The Lost World angle is strong and thus in some ways its hard to separate it from the classic story. In the end, however, it falls up short on the enjoyment scale and its runtime of 80 minutes is pretty much the maximum they could've done, although the ending did seem a bit rushed.

All in all, it's mediocre but not bad.

Globehunters on the other hand was rather boring and I gave up watching after about 15 minutes.
