(Blu-ray, Fox)
A herd of dinosaurs make their annual migration south out of Alaska. A young pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, the runt of the litter, struggles to stand up to his older brother. When their father is killed in front of them during a forest fire, his brother becomes leader of the herd. Years later as young adults making the same migration, the younger dinosaur challenges his brother's leadership. He loses and is forced out of the herd, but later saves his brother's life leading to a reconciliation and happy ending. Impressive combination of CGI dinosaurs and live action backgrounds is let down by the dreadful decision to have voice overs for the dinosaurs. It doesn't work at all and the whole thing comes off as some kind of Discovery Channel show aimed at young children.
