Synopsis

Combining state-of-the-art computer character animation with stunning digitally-enhanced live-action backgrounds, Walt Disney Feature Animation transports moviegoers back to prehistoric times for an incredible adventure involving dinosaurs. An action-filled drama with elements of humor, Walt Disney Pictures' "Dinosaur" focuses on the journey of a three-ton Iguanodon named Aladar, who is raised from the egg by a clan of lemurs and eventually reunited with his own kind. With flaming meteors devastating the landscape and water in diminishing supply, the dinosaurs find themselves in a race against time to reach the safety of their nesting grounds. When Aladar comes to the aid of a group of misfits unable to keep up with the breakneck pace of the herd, he makes an enemy of Kron, the stone-hearted leader of the group. Faced with such perils as treacherous rock slides and attacking Carnotaurs, Aladar and his friends must overcome tremendous obstacles before they can settle into a new life in a beautiful valley, This remarkable film represents a major advance for computer animation and Disney's in-house feature debut in this medium.

An orphaned dinosaur raised by lemurs joins an arduous trek to a sancturary after a meteorite shower destroys his family home.
