I would guess they would be built similar to large reptiles that are around now like crocodilians and perhaps Komodo dragons.

Actually, dinosaurs were the only reptiles to ever have had their limbs be out straight-down, not sprawled to the side. Modern reptiles' limbs sprawl out and do not go directly underneath them. Dinosaurs and modern birds share a hole in the hip socket as well.

Definitely correct. They certainly took their liberty to allow Cera some motions which she would usually be unable to perform (e.g. in LBT 4 when she is mimicking Ali). Such scenes are relatively rare though. Can you think of some more examples?

Hey. While watching some of the LBT movies, I noticed that the quadruped dinosaurs' tail seem to allow them to grasp things, sort of like a prehensile tail on a monkey. Am I imagining this?

Longnecks seem to have this ability the greatest with Doc seeming to be the best at it.

The way I see it, the tail is the closest thing to a hand that quadruped dinosaur has, so that would definitely make sense.

It does make sense. They have only their mouths and tails instead of hands, ignoring the shots where quadrupeds are shown to have opposable toes on their front feet.

I noticed a minor thing here... has anyone noticed that Cera and her father have four toes while Tria and Tricia have only three? Just a minor detail...

& the way Cera's front feet are often drawn with her having an opposable toe on each of her front feet, but most of the other 4 footers do not have this.
