Synopsis[]

Join the action-packed adventure of a group of dinosaurs overcoming enormous challenges through courage, loyalty and hope in Disney's Dinosaur, the special effects phenomenon!

Set 65 million years ago, Dinosaur tells the compelling story of Aladar, the iguanodon who is separated from his own species and raised on an island paradise by the clan of lemurs, including the wisecracking Zini and the compassionate Plio. When the devastating meteor shower plunges their world into chaos, Aladar and his family follow a herd of dinosaurs heading for the safety of the "nesting grounds." Along the way, Aladar befriends Baylene, the elderly brachiosaurus, Eema, the unstoppable styrachosaurus, and Neera, the feisty fellow iguanodon. Together, they must stand strong amidst food and water shortages, the threat of carnotaur attacks, and Aladar's run-ins with the herd's stubborn leader, Kron.
