One day I fell in love and

You took all of my heart

Twenty four hours,

blue sky, sun rays

Where there used to be grey

I Used to be grey

Say goodbye to yesterday

Oh, oh

What a difference

today made I'

Right, Dad, got it!

Knock down the tree

and feast on the leafy greens up top!

Mmm-mmm.

Yeah, I also got it, Dad. I'm

just gonna square up here and...

...knock down the tree!

I'll square up and

knock down the tree.

Oh, I'm gonna just gonna grab...

He's stronger than he looks.

Gonna feast on that leafy...

- Okay.

- Uh, Dad?

Are we really

from the same litter?

Okay, what's so special about dust?

I don't get it.

You roll around on your back and

you make some grunting noises.

- I mean, how is that a hobby?

- PATCHY. What?

Oh, man!

You haven't lived until

you've taken a dirt bath.

It's the best.

Here, let me

get in there, fellas.

Yeah, oh, boy!

- It's so fun.

- You gotta try...

Hey, hey, hey!

Watch the plumage!

- How would you like it if I did this?

- Ow!

- Hey, watch the nose!

- You watch it!

- You watch it!

- No, you watch it!

Alphadon, meaning

first tooth, omnivore.

Patch! Pachito,

come on, wait for me!

I'm sorry I went all pre-historic

on you back there, okay, buddy?

It's okay, Alex.

What's going on?

Major is challenging your

father for the role of leader!

It's a time honored tradition.

Oh, yeah, and Major's toast!

Dad's gonna crush him!

Come on, Dad!

Show him who's boss!

Introduce your horn to his head!

- Yeah, smack.

- Ah! Quit it!

Hey. Dad!

Wow, Dad, that was awesome!

You kicked his butt all the

way up to the stone age.

Get back here!

I may have been

smaller than my brother.

But you made up

for it by running away.

No, no, no.

I wasn't running away.

I was racing

him... and winning.

- Are you ready?!

- Yeah.

Are you sure?

I'm pretty sure.

Are you ready?!

Hit me!

All right!

- I wasn't ready.

- Yeah.

- I'm ready now.

- Be quiet.

Come back,

you coward, both of you!

We're good.

I want some more. You want some more!

Everybody wants more and more?

Did you guys see that?

Totally rang his bell.

And so the young Pachyrhinosaur

frolicked and

fritted away his youth.

Why? I dunno.

The kid likes to frolic.

But all that was

about to change.

And it all started

the day I met... Juniper.

Oh, baby

Give it up

Ain't no use I

Hi, I'm Patchi.

I'm made of meat.

That's not what I meant to say.

I meant to say, "I'm Patchi."

Whoa, is that

a hole in your head?

Uh, no.

I mean... yeah, technically...

I like it.

Ah, young love, so beautiful,

so precious. Gotcha!

Really, I've never seen anything

like that before.

- Really?

- There's my mom.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

Ah, but we just met!

I'm not supposed to talk

to guys outside my herd.

Stupid rules.

I'm sorry. Goodbye.

Wait, wait, don't go!

Just stay for one minute!

Ah, no!

Sniff me out later, okay?

Oh.

Yeah! She likes me!

And she likes my hole.

Over the next few days,

Patchi returned to the waterfall...

...for he had been bitten by the

love bug, the tastiest bug of all.

But the lady

proved to be elusive.

Not to be denied,

the young lover

pursued his

passion nonetheless...

...once more returning to the

sight of his glorious vision.

And he just kept coming back...

...really to the point of

overkill, if you want my opinion.

Ah, man. Where is she?

Oh, didn't I tell you?

She moved South.

South? When?

Four or five days ago.

How long have you known this?

About four or five days.

Gotcha!

But Juniper and her

family were headed

South as part of

the great migration...

...for the summer was coming to an

end and food was in short supply.

Especially the bug supply, which

is very, very important to me.

More than anything, Patchi

wanted to follow Juniper...

...and his impatience

was beginning to show.

The birds are going South. Those

green things are going South.

When do we get to go South?

It'll be time to go when

your father says it's time.

It's time.

Move 'em out, Patchi.

You don't have to tell me twice.

Move 'em out, Patchi.

Right, here we go.

My first migration.

Eat my dust, Patchi.

It's not a race.

Come on, guys, don't be shy.

We're all going

to the same place.

Hey, Alex,

don't most birds fly South?

It's called symbiosis, buddy. I get

transportation and you get pest control.

Gotcha!

Seriously,

you're a buffet on four legs.

And the herd lumbered South

across the Alaskan hinterland...

Whoa,

what do you mean, lumbered?

Well, you weren't

exactly gallivanting.

Yeah, we're Pachyrhinosaurs.

We don't gallivant.

No, you do not,

but I have to warn you,

every good story

has a scary part

and that's coming up,

so get ready.

Oh, I'm ready.

I lived through it.

It was late afternoon and the

clouds were gathering in the east.

Okay, okay, let me tell it.

I have the flair.

The clouds gathered in the east.

Soon, a portent of

approaching danger

floated in upon

the changing winds...

...a harbinger in the form

of a glorious winged creature.

Danger, danger, everyone!

Warning, warning!

Did you hear that, Dad?

Danger.

Of course he heard.

What'd I say, huh?

My father ordered

the herd into the forest

to find shelter from the storm.

The weather worsened,

and my friend Patchi's young life...

...was about to

change in a flash.

I'm scared.

I'm not scared. You're the

only one who's scared.

Well, you and maybe that guy.

Wusses.

The dry summer months had

turned the forest into a tinderbox...

...ready to

explode into flames.

I know you humans like to

think you discovered fire...

...but trust me,

it's been around

since the time of the dinosaurs.

Patchi's father smelled trouble.

Quickly, he called to the others.

This was no time

to dilly-dally.

Dad, what's going on?

- What is it, Alex'?

- It's fire!

What's fire?

Does it eat meat?!

It eats everything. Run!

Go on!

Move your meaty little legs!

Bulldust and his family

hurried toward open ground.

But there was just one problem:

Predators.

For one dinosaur's misfortune

is another dinosaur's feast.

Hi there! Friend or foe?

Foe, foe, definitely foe!

Wait up, guys!

Scowler, I don't like migration!

I wanna go home!

Patchi, try and be brave like Dad.

What do we do now?

What do we do?!

Don't worry,

Dad would never abandon me.

You mean us, right?

Right, us.

Help, Dad!

Dad, over here!

That was a good idea, Dad.

I was gonna do the same thing,

bust through that tree.

Hey, where's Mom?

Separated from the others...

...Patchi's mom didn't realize

that she was heading into a trap.

She did what she

could to protect her

little ones,

but the danger only mounted.

Severely outnumbered, she called

for Bulldust to come and help.

We should go with him.

Patchi, Dad said to wait here!

I don't care. Dad!

Let me do it.

I'm louder. Dad!

Wait a minute,

Scowler, I think I see him!

Dad!

He's coming back!

That's definitely... not him.

Oh, boy, oh, boy, run, run, run!

We should split up.
