In the years since Spielberg's Jurassic Park brought dinosaurs back from the dead, we have become somewhat blase about the spectacle of lifelike CGI reptiles marauding across our screens. This very handsomely rendered (if somewhat insipid) creature-feature may have its roots in the BBC documentary series, but cutesy anthropomorphism is the order of the day as pachyrhinosaurus runt-of-the-litter Patchi attempts to grow up and find true love without being eaten, burned, drowned or trampled.

Despite the U certificate, nature is displayed as red in tooth and claw, with parents duly falling by the wayside as they attempt to protect their offspring in the great restaurant of the wild. Pop-up infomercials introducing each new character remind us that there's an educational remit lurking somewhere in the background, but the primary thrust is light, breezy and a little bit bitey.
