Just then, Captain Neweyes crashes the show in his space blimp, to confront his evil brother and congratulate the youngsters on a job well done. From the wings, a petrified Cecilia cries out to any higher power that will listen to “let no bad happen." Louie weeps and begs the raging lizard to remember who he is deep down inside, and sure enough, the obligatory single tear forms in Rex’s eye, and his sharp features begin to soften as the evil influence seeps out of him. Horrified by the difference between Rex as voiced by John Goodman and Rex as nature intended, he runs out onto the stage where the dinosaurs roar and stamp and terrify the audiences so much that their hair sticks up on end, and appeals to Rex’s inner goodness. In fact, he risks his life to make it right again. Louie comes to the startling realization that it is his misadventure that has led to the dinosaurs making the ultimate sacrifice for him, and he does not shy away from this responsibility. One thing this dark narrative can be given credit for is real stakes and character growth. The Professor even hypnotizes the kids with his evil eye and transforms them into monkeys, really hammering home the ideas of mental and evolutionary recession. Neweyes rescues the dinosaurs from their native savagery like a missionary, before Screweyes robs them of their newly-learned civilization in order to appeal to humanity’s baser desires.
The oppositional brothers, both of whom seek to spread a particular emotion to the masses by changing minds, is a loose meditation on good and evil, and how sentience is effectively the difference between the two.
TREX CARTOON 90S MOVIE
The entire movie thinks in these binary terms, which is an interesting if not entirely coherent addition to the source material, a children’s short story by Hudson Talbott, which simply chronicles the dinosaurs’ journey through New York to the safety of a museum curator. One is the embodiment of all that is good and pure, and endearingly voiced by Walter Cronkite, while the other is the embodiment of a Rob Zombie movie for kids. You’ll notice a duality playing off the old good-twin-bad-twin trope with the two scientist brothers. With extra-sad faces, the syrupy reptiles accept their fates, as the kids look on with horrified expressions worthy of Lee Remick. With the help of his own mind-bending drug called Brain Drain, he proposes that he essentially lobotomize the dinosaurs back to their natural savage states, and use them as his most frightening act. Not only that, but he has his own evil version of his brother’s radio, a Fright Radio, that detects people’s worst fears, and what do you know? Real monsters are nightmare fuel, and therefore great business for the Professor.

As a circus of horrors proprietor, Screweyes sees much more value in real dinosaurs than a couple of runaway kids, so offers to free the kids if the dinos take their place. Now given that the dinos are too gosh-darn sweet to just eat the Professor or lawyer up, their own kindness is preyed upon.
They try to take the kids away with them, but the Professor waves the contract in their faces and declares the kids his property. While the kids mope around, coming to terms with the fact that they have been trafficked, the dinosaurs go looking for them, and manage to track them down to the circus. But of course, dinosaurs singing and dancing in the Macy’s parade is prime material for selling a light-hearted kids’ movie in the trailer, and they were going to need it to cushion the blow of the horrors it alluded to. This track, titled "Roll Back The Rock," is the only instance of singing in the entire movie, which makes its inclusion a pretty out-there choice. Now don’t be fooled: We’re Back! is not a musical. When it becomes apparent to Rex that the children in the crowds share in that famous widespread wish for real dinosaurs, he breaks into song. As they wander to their imminent dooms, the dinos are busy disguising themselves as parade floats to avoid detection. So they go off together, apparently setting out to prove to kids everywhere once and for all that the circus is the worst place to run away to. Despite being from opposite sides of the track, the kids are united in their loneliness, Louie having run away from home and Cecilia having absent parents. As a result of an overly-long slapstick chase through the city, Louie literally lands in the swanky but noticeably quiet apartment of rich girl Cecilia (voiced by Simpsons great Yeardley Smith).
