Introduction
By a twist of fate, a herbivorous dinosaur finds a lost egg and brings it back to her nest. When the egg hatches, however, a carnivorous dinosaur emerges. Unable to abandon the child, she names him "Heart" and raises him in exile alongside her own child. As Heart comes of age, he struggles to eat the same food as his family and runs away in disgrace when he learns that he cannot live properly without meat.
Years later, the now feared predator Heart encounters a situation similar to his past—he spots a dinosaur egg opposite his kind. As it emerges, Heart remarks that the newborn is delicious-looking. The newborn herbivore thinks that Heart is his father and takes delicious-looking, or "Umasou," as his name. Unable to eat a newborn who loves him, Heart reluctantly decides to raise Umasou as his own. As he nurtures a forbidden child like his mother before him, Heart struggles to deal with an unforgiving world and the true natures of predator and prey.

So I saw a clip of this movie on Youtube and decided to watch it for myself, I can say... I wasn't disappointed! It's such a cute movie that it's hard not to squeal sometimes, it has no reason being so cute. I just love how conflicted Heart feels, as he originally wanted to eat Umasou but that all changed when he gets mistaken for Umasou's dad. He might actually have a soft spot for the little guy? Who knows! Even he's questioning why can't he just eat Umasou already lol, it's a funny concept for sure. And Umasou is straight up adorable, especially when he's trying to act all tough. Also the music in this movie is pretty good! I wish there was an OST for some of it, but oh well (I am aware there is an "OST" of it on youtube but it's unofficial sadly.) But if you like dinos and cute things…

What do you get when you cross The Land Before Time with a gritty version of Tarzan? Don't be fooled by Omae Umasou da na's art style, this children's movie is not afraid to deal with the moral implications of life and death. What most impressed me was how surprisingly well-animated the movie was, especially in the impressively well-done shounen-style fight scenes; didn't see THAT coming did you!
The characters are loveable and the story is well-written. You really empathize with Tarz... a carnivorous dinosaur raised by gorill... by herbivorous dinosaurs. It's got that cute Japanese kids movie touch, but this is a genuinely well-done piece of cinema and you'll probably become an instant fan.
I'll disagree with what others have said... this movie has every right to be as awesome as it is.…

What started out as a simple trip through the internet, ended up at this movie. I went into it thinking I would have a good laugh at some 90's Japanese animated movie about dinosaurs; and while I wasn't wrong, the story threw me into a completely new direction with lovable characters, gorgeous art and music, and hilarious but overall well done sound effects. The story itself (although there were a few weird parts that didn't make much sense) is actually really sweet, and blends together some nice elements about overcoming differences, family, yada yada (but you've probably already heard this in other reviews)....
In short it's something nice to watch during any event whether it's a rainy day, you want a good laugh with your friends (or by yourself), can't figure out what to watch, or you'…

While the art may not be the highest budget or most up-to-date; it is very enjoyable and has a very spunky feel. When you see this art in the future, you would probably make the connection right away because it is so unique. It's interesting also how the main character dinosaurs look kind of more human-like, round, very cartoonish while the random dinosaurs they show between important scenes look realistic and have feathers.
Putting that aside, You are Omasou is extremely heartwarming and touching movie. I really enjoyed it. As a grown man, it was difficult not to coo and squeal watching the cute first interactions between the main characters Heart and Omasou. The entire story meshed together very well and the transitioning of the film was pretty good. It has very funny charmish scenes an…

This movie was a lot better than I expected. What I originally thought was a low budget movie with a generic plot was actually a beautiful, enjoyable tale that made me cry. It's a story about family, about growing up, and being who you are, regardless of what other people may tell you. There is nothing about the story I didn't like, and the plot seemed full and the movie was brought to a close nicely. The characters, although not really relatable, were lovable, believable and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I think you would too!

To be honest, this movie is much better than it has any right to be. Looking at it, I really didn't expect much, but downloaded it anyways because dinosaurs. I was very surprised at how good the fights were, and appreciated and respected the character of the lead. It left me feeling somewhat emotional, and I had this hollow feeling I get when something I enjoy ends. Go for it, I'm sure it would appeal to most.

Omae Wa Umasou Da Na is a beautiful movie that you should watch if you enjoyed The Land Before Time or just enjoy anime in general.
I watched this movie after a friend recommended it to me saying it was somehow cuter yet darker than The Land Before Time all at once, for the most part I say that is true. I'll try not to give too much of the story away but be fair warned I do explain some of the plot in this review.
The movie is the heartfelt tale of a lost egg found in a river by a herbivore dinosaur who hatches into a baby T-Rex, despite protests from the other tribe members the mother decides to raise him along with her biological son Light, the T-Rex who ends up named "Heart" (voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi) eventually Heart discovers the truth that he is a meat eater and adventures out o…

Omae Umasou da na is a movie that has dived into a topic that happens in a good amount of dinosaur movies*Coughlandbeforetimecough*. While the movie doesn't reinvent the wheel, it does tell a interesting story that has you watching till the end.
Story: The story focuses on a T-rex(Big Jaw as it's called in the movie) named Heart. At the beginning of the movie an egg drifts down the river, a plant eater(Completely blanking on the species) finds this egg and decides to take it as it's own along with her own eggs. After a dinosaur attack all that remains of her eggs are just one of her own eggs, and the one with Heart in it. After the eggs hatch the herd tells the mother to abandon the egg due to it being a meat eater, the mother decides to split off from the herd and raise the two children…
