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 unchanging ways of the herd and attempts to show how adaptability can be the best path toward survival.

  • Dinosaur
  • Join the action-packed adventure of a group of dinosaurs overcoming enormous challenges through courage, loyalty, and hope in Disney's DINOSAUR, a special effects phenomenon! Set 65 million years ago, DINOSAUR tells the compelling story of an iguanodon named Aladar, who is separated from his own kind and raised by a clan of lemurs, including the wisecracking Zini and the compassionate Plio. When a 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 dignified, elderly brachiosaur with a take-no-prisoners attitude; Eema, the unstoppable styrachosaur; and Neera, a feisty fellow iguanodon. Together, they must stand strong amid food and water shortages, the threat of attacks by carnotaurs, and Aladar's run-ins with the herd's stubborn leader, Kron. As the trip becomes one pulse-quickening adventure after another, it also forges friendships that no hardship can destroy. A landmark in filmmaking technology, Disney's DINOSAUR is a breathtaking spectacle filled with adventure, fun, and life lessons that the whole family will love!

    These dinosaurs are awesome to look at, but once they open their mouths, it's over for most anyone past twelve.
