IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Walt Disney)
An abandoned dinosaur egg is carried to a family of lemurs, where it is hatched and brought up with other lemurs. Their idealistic life is interrupted by a meteor impact which destroys their island. They join other dinosaurs who are on a trek across the destroyed landscape in search of the "nesting grounds". They are lead by an aggressive male dinosaur who conflicts with the friendlier Aladar raised by the lemurs. When they reach their destination they find all the water gone, except for some buried under the mud. Attacking dinosaurs splinter the group and Aladar and friends hide in a cave, which ends up leading them to the true nesting grounds. However, he has to convince the other group that it really exists, leading to a showdown with the leader. It's Disney, it ends happily. Now dated computer graphics are blended with backdrops filmed around the world in scenic locations to mostly good effect, I just wish the story and characters were more involving.
