Who did they make Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend for?! It's got a cute baby dinosaur with human emotions being hugged by the leads, but it's also got lots of nudity (even of minors, but I guess the racist MPA considered this "National Geographic" nudity, and still gave it a PG - I did see it in the theater age 14), and what I find most bothersome, some very misogynistic dialog played for "laughs" in the first 15 minutes. It's also pretty violent, so even if the animals here are fake, it would still be hard for more sensitive audiences to watch them under threat (or worse) on such consistent basis. Patrick McGoohan shows a lack of scientific ethics, ruthless in his pursuit of these legendary beasts (a real legend, but geographically shuffled), Sean Young and William Katt aren't really any better since they also plan to take Baby out of its habitat for study. At least they didn't throw in with a trigger-happy local army like McGoohan, people who keep shooting in the direction of priceless dinosaurs. I'm impressed by how well the dinosaurs walk, given they are people wearing rigs, even if their faces are stiff. I can take the cheap effects. It's the haphazard tone I have trouble with. 3 weeks 5 days ago
