Dinosaur

Synopsis: During an attack on a pack of Iguanodon, an egg is separated and ends up with the possession of a group of lemurs. The lemurs care for this egg and the young creature born from it, which they call Aladar. When a meteor shower hits earth, Aladar and his family must leave their homeland. Away from home and as close to danger as they have ever been, they meet up with a huge group of dinosaurs, led by Kron and Bruton. All together they are trying to reach the nesting grounds, but it's not going to be easy.

Some things start out big...

and some things start out small.

Very small.

But sometimes the smallest thing...

can make the biggest changes of all.

- Yar, what is it?

- I don't know.

Plio, get back here!

We don't know what it is!

Plio, be careful.

Dad, get over here.

- Zini, it's not safe.

- Oh, I always have to go

when stuff's happening.

- Well, what is it?

- It was an egg.

Look!

- What?

- It's a cold-blooded monster

from across the sea.

Vicious, flesh-eating.

- Looks like a baby to me.

- Babies grow up.

You keep that thing,

one day we'll turn our backs--

It'll be picking us out of its teeth.

Things like that

eat things like us as snacks!

- So, what do we do?

- Get rid of it!

What has gotten into you?

Plio, that thing is dangerous!

I'm sorry, little one.

Okay, get rid of it.

All right, I will.

You'd better hurry up, Dad.

It looks hungry.

Here.

It's okay.

We'll teach him to hate meat.

Watch his head.

I-I mean, watch it.

He could bite.

This monster's got no teeth.

What's he gonna do, gum us to death?

Zini, come on.

Look at that sweet little face.

Does that look like a monster to you?

Let me out! Let me out!

Hair ball!

That was great! Get him!

Oh, no! Attacking lemurs!

Suri, please!

I can't take it!

There are too many of you!

Come on! Pick on somebody

your own size. Stop!

Help! All right, get up, get up, get up!

Hold it! I-- No, stop it! Stop it!

Oh, no--

Aladar? You're not dead.

- No!

- All right, guys, break it up.

Remember the courtship? You're

gonna miss seeing all that smooching.

- Oh!

- Oh, Mom!

That's okay, Plio.

We can smooch right here!

- It's a shame you don't like kids.

- Nasty little vermin.

Go find Zini.

He's rehearsing pickup lines.

Let's hope he's found

some new material.

Hey, sweetie, if you'll be my bride,

I'll groom ya.

That is good.

Oh, that's good.

Girls, I'm known

as the professor of love...

and school's in session!

Yeah, I still got it.

I hope it's not contagious.

I'm a raging epidemic of romance.

Come on, hot stuff. Let's get going. You

don't wanna miss Yar's annual pep talk.

Oh, goody. I can't wait to hear

the mating advice of an old monkey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I heard that in his day

that old monkey was quite a swinger.

- You talkin' about Yar?

- Yeah.

- To hear him tell it,

he put the prime in primate.

- Really?

Okay, boys, gather 'round.

Listen and learn from the master.

Now, girls, don't jump

into the trees after the first boy

with a cute back flip.

Now, girls, don't jump

into the trees after the first boy

with a cute back flip.

It's more fun

if you keep them guessing.

It's more fun

if you keep them guessing.

And if a cute back flip

doesn't work, guess.

You're never going to forget this day,

so make it one to remember.

You're never going to forget this day,

so make it one to remember.

But if you mess up, don't worry.

They'll never remember.

But if you mess up, don't worry.

They'll never remember.

Come on, guys.

We don't wanna let 'em down.

- Go on, now! Chest out, chin up!

- Whoo!

- Go on, now! Chest out, chin up!

- Whoo!

- Go on, now! Chest out, chin up!

- Whoo!

Make 'em look good, son.

Come on, Yar. With my charm

and your brains, no problem.

Hey, girls, look what

just pulled into town.

- Hey, ladies!

- Your buffet table of love.

- Right here, right here!

- Hey, beautiful!

Hey, free samples!

Get me while I'm hot!

- Whoa!

- Wow!

Zini!

You're missing all the action, pal.

Come on.

Hey, haven't you heard?

I am the action! Whoo!

Ah, don't worry, Zini.

You always have next year.

Hey, I'm lucky to be rid of them.

With the ladies, before you know it

they all wanna move to a bigger tree.

Oh, well. Poor Zini.

The clan still has one bachelor.

No, we have two.

Well, it's never really

been his best event.

- He's got a tougher hide than mine.

- Oh, Aladar.

If only there was someone

on the island for you.

Well, you know, who looks like you,

but prettier.

Come on, Plio.

What more could I want?

- What are they?

- I don't know.

- What are they?

- I don't know.

- Dad?

- Something's wrong.

Aladar, where's Suri?

She's up in the tree.

Come on! Go, go! Come on!

- Mom!

- Suri!

- Mom! Mom!

- Suri!

- Mom!

- Suri, where are you?

Run, Aladar! Run! Run!

Yar, come on!

- Zini, jump!Jump!

- Zini, jump!

- Zini!

- Hold on!

Plio! Yar! Where are you?

Aladar! Over here!

Oh, Suri. Easy. Easy.

They're all gone.

Shh, shh.

I'm here.

Come on.

We can't stay here.

Now, now, Suri.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

- Look!

- Whoa!

- Did you see that?

- What?

- I did.

- Me too!

- Where did it go?

- I don't know. Let's go see.

- Leave it alone-- Hey!

- Shh, Dad!

- I-It's scaring Suri here.

- No, it's not.

Everyone just be quiet.

- Yar, grab on!

- I can't reach!

Aladar, they're stopping!

Huh?

Stay out of my way!

You heard Kron.

Move it!

Watch it!

Zini, get your head down!

Walkin' backwards, huh? Well, let me

know if that gets you there any faster.

Keep those little legs movin', Url,

or you'll get left behind.

Look at all the Aladars!

I-If you're even thinking

of joining them--

Hang on! Hang on!

Kron.

There is a more protected spot

further down the--

We'll rest here for the night.

Go ahead, Bruton.

We'll rest here for the night.

Go ahead, Bruton.

Oh, Eema, I wish we were at

your nesting grounds now.

Oh, Eema, I wish we were at

your nesting grounds now.

All this pushing and shoving about,

just for a place to sleep.

I'm not used to

this kind of behaviour.

Baylene, you got big feet.

Just give 'em a kick. Git!

Oh, I could not possibly.

Uh, uh, shoo, shoo.

Will you come on, Baylene?

You wanna get to the nesting grounds

alive? Show some backbone.

Hey there!

Oh, sorry about that. Uh, it's just

we overheard you talking, and, um--

Well, my word.

Look at Url.

He doesn't normally

warm up to strangers so fast.

- What an unfortunate blemish.

- Good mud bath'd clear those right up.

Excuse me?

Um, he's my grandfather,

a couple times removed.

Try a couple of species removed.

Uh, uh, uh, my name's Aladar.

This is my family.

We're all that's left.

Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry.

Baylene's the last of her kind.

Finding stragglers like her

all along the way.

I heard you say something

about nesting grounds.

It is the most beautiful place

there is, child.

It's where the herd goes

to have their babies.

Will we find anybody

that looks like us there?

Oh, the last few days

I've seen 'em all shapes and sizes.

Who knows what we'll find.

The hard job now

is just getting there.

- And we're being driven unmercifully.

- By who?

- Kron, the herd's head honcho.

- We can hardly keep up.

A-An older woman like myself, it's--

well, it's positively indecent.

Then tell him.

What's the worst he can do?

Oh!

Hey! What's his problem?

- That's him, honey. Kron.

- Huh.

Uh, excuse me.

Kron! You got a second?

- Get lost, kid.

- Relax, Bruton.

- Who are you?

John Harrison

John Harrison (3 April [O.S. 24 March] 1693 – 24 March 1776) was a self-educated English carpenter and clockmaker who invented a marine chronometer, a long-sought-after device for solving the problem of calculating longitude while at sea. His solution revolutionized navigation and greatly increased the safety of long-distance sea travel. The problem he solved was considered so important following the Scilly naval disaster of 1707 that the British Parliament offered financial rewards of up to £20,000 (equivalent to £2.89 million today) under the 1714 Longitude Act.In 1730, Harrison presented his first design, and worked over many years on improved designs, making several advances in time-keeping technology, finally turning to what were called, sea watches. Harrison gained support from the Longitude Board in building and testing his designs. Toward the end of his life, he received recognition and a reward from Parliament. Harrison came 39th in the BBC's 2002 public poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. more…
