et 65 million years ago during the late Cretaceous Period, "Dinosaur" immerses moviegoers in a photo-realistic prehistoric world of wonders as it follows the dramatic action-filled journey of a three-ton iguanodon named Aladar. Separated from his own species as a hatchling and raised on an island paradise by a clan of lemurs, Aladar's life is plunged into chaos when a devastating meteor shower forces him to join a group of migrating dinosaurs desperately searching for a safe nesting ground. With water and food in short supply and vicious carnotaurs posing an ever-present threat, Aladar challenges the traditional ways of the herd and attempts to show that being adaptable is the best path for survival. "Dinosaur" seamlessly blends digitally enhanced live-action photography, special-effects wizardry, and computer-generated characters to immerse moviegoers in a photo-realistic prehistoric world of wonders.
