I don’t know this series. If you expect that not a lot of people have seen it, I wouldn’t label it a ‘Classic’. This section is really for movies people have seen, so they can read the logline for reference when they build their own.
While it’s here, I might as well have a look at it. 🙂
What is the main goal here? Does the T-Rex want his sister to join the Club? But what are ‘the meeting’s? Why is it important that she should join? Is she isolating?
A character having fun doesn’t really promise me any interesting drama. Is this really what is going on?
It reminds me of the dreadfully boring first act of Wolf Creek, where the characters were also ‘having fun’ for about 30mins.
This might work as one episode of a Saturday morning TVshow for five-year-olds, but not as a feature film. Not even a kids one. Anthropised dinosaurs could work as a setting for a rated-G film. But there is no real story here. The sister must have more than just wings for the reader to feel anything for her. Is she fiesty? Freedom-loving? Artistic? Perhaps her flying ability has enabled her to see other lands that the others can only imagine? Secondly, why would she settle for “joining in” rather than, say, carving out her own hobby or flying her own way? Surely there is more dramatic potential in her ‘going it alone’ than just joining some boys’ club! Where is there any challenge in her simply being allowed in?
At a minimum the logline should describe the character of the sister. Better still if she is clearly mavericky in nature. And, best of all, if she chooses to do something daring on her own.

Cute, but confusing. If this is a series it needs more detail to really engage. Dinosaur tales have been done to death so your spin needs to be incredibly entertaining. There’s an audience for jurassic stories, still – children (little boys especially) are totally fascinated by this world – so give them something fantastic. Being original with a world that’s 90 million years in the making is your challenge. But if you’re passionate enough about your story, you’ll do it.
