One Of Our Dinasaurs Is Missing didn't quite enjoy the heights of success it was anticipated to by Disney. Its a shame as this is actually an enjoyable, fun comedy with a cast of stars that includes Peter Unistov, Helen Hayes, Derek Nimmo and Joan Sims, who was more famous for her appearances in the classic Carry On film series. A top secret formula is hidden by aristocrat Derek Nimmo inside the skeleton of a dinasaur at the natural History Museum in London. Peter Unistov is mildly amusing as a Chinese agent where as Helen Hayes and Joan Sims are leaders of a gang of unlikeley nannies that even Mary Poppins wouldn't join! Livening things up is a silly, though amusing car chase, lots of kung fu fighting and some flamboyantly over-the-top acting makes this an overly good and entertaining film thats defintley worth a look.

this film is awesome. its one of those must see silly films. a group of nannies telling the grown men in this film what to do! a laugh a minute.

When do we get this in a region 1 DVD? So many other movies have come out on DVD that are out on VHS. Has anyone else been waiting for this movie?

'One of our Dinosaurs is Missing' was a hard movie to find, but I found it on Amazon! It was a bit pricy but since there were no others to be found, I got it. You will enjoy it if you enjoy other Disney Classics.

On last viewing I noticed how one of the many running gags is the send-up of Nanny lore and wisdom. ("Nanny knows best - ring a bell?" Hnup Wan reminds Lord Southmere.) The script is excellent, and great British character actors fill minor roles (the home secretary! the detective team! the museum director!). Even Joan (Miss Marple) Hickson has a tiny non-speaking role. Main flaws are the cardboard and far too sunny Soho, and the casting of occidentals as Chinese with caricature accents and ridiculous eye make up. But somehow Peter Ustinov and Bernard Bresslaw (as Hnup Wan and his looming henchman) are essential. Enjoy!

Movie has adventure and humor in it. I would have highly recommended the movie if it would not have promoted Evolution.

This movie was about an hour too long. Car chases went on and on and on and on. Kids were bored and glad when it ended.

Seriously, we rented this because of the 5 star reviews. This is NOT comparable to real 5 star movies like Toy Story or Monsters Inc or Follow Me Boys.

I WATCHED THIS MOVIE A LONG TIME AGO ON THE DISNEY CHANNEL, AND I DID RECORD IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE IT ON DVD FOR REGION 1.

The movie would have been great but the format I received can not be played in the US or with a computer.

I was very disapointed that the copy I received is unusable in the USA. I did not realize that untill I received it. It is my mistake. I thought it was obvious since it was being shipped to the USA that I would get a copy that I could play. I would still love to find a copy that I can play here. It is one of my favorits and would love to share it with my grandchildren. Next time I will red the discription more carefully.
