Dinosaur is a 2000 American computer-animated adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and The Secret Lab. it follows a heroic young Iguanodon who was adopted and raised by a family of lemurs on a tropical island. After surviving a devastating meteor shower, the family move out for their new home and befriend a herd of dinosaurs along the way while on a journey to the Nesting Grounds. Unfortunately, they are being hunted down by predators such as Carnotaurus.
A Carnotaurus attacks a herd of dinosaurs, destroying an Iguanodon nest. One surviving egg travels through several terrains before landing on an island inhabited by prehistoric lemurs. Plio; the daughter of their patriarch Yar, names the hatched baby Aladar and raises him alongside her daughter Suri, despite Yar's initial objections. Several years later, a fully grown Aladar and the lemurs take part in a mating ritual, in which Plio's brother Zini is unsuccessful. Moments after the ritual ends, they are interrupted by a meteor crashing into the Earth, creating an explosive shockwave which destroys the island. Aladar and Yar's family flee across the sea to the mainland. Being the only survivors, they mourn the others, before moving on.
While crossing the burnt wasteland, they are attacked by a pack of Velociraptors. They escape by joining a multi-species herd of dinosaur refugees heading for the communal Nesting Grounds. Falling afoul of herd leader Kron, they retreat to the end of the line and befriend the old Styracosaurus Eema, her pet Ankylosaur Url, and her equally elderly friend Baylene, the only Brachiosaur in the group. They travel for days without water to the site of a lake, only to find it seemingly dried up. Kron orders the herd to move on and let the weakest perish, but Aladar stays behind with a sick Eema. He and Baylene dig until they find her some water. The rest of the herd follows suit, and Kron's sister Neera, impressed by Aladar's compassion, begins to grow closer to him, while Kron believes he wants to take over.
Meanwhile, two Carnotaurus have been tracking the herd. Kron's lieutenant Bruton reports the approaching predators after surviving an attack during a scouting mission, but Kron quickly ushers the herd away from the lake, leaving Bruton, Aladar's family, and the elderly dinosaurs behind. The group takes shelter in a cave as night falls, but the predators catch up to them and attack. Bruton sacrifices his life to cause a cave-in that kills one of the Carnotaurus, forcing the survivor to move on.
The group ventures deeper into the cave, but they reach a dead end. Though Aladar briefly loses hope, Baylene uses her strength to smash through the wall, and they arrive at the Nesting Grounds on the other side. Eema notices that a landslide has blocked off the usual entrance to the valley. Aladar rushes off alone to find Kron trying to lead the herd over the landslide, unaware of the sheer drop on the other side. Kron attacks Aladar, taking Aladar's warning as a challenge to his leadership, until Neera, fed up with Kron's illogical behavior, intervenes. Realizing Kron's selfishness, the herd follows Aladar, while Kron stubbornly tries to climb the rocks by himself.
The hungry Carnotaurus arrives, but Aladar rallies everyone to stand together in defiance against it. The Carnotaurus is frightened off, and pursues Kron instead. Aladar and Neera rush to save him, but fail to get there in time and Kron is killed by the Carnotaurus. However, they avenge Kron by forcing the Carnotaurus over the sheer drop to its death. Aladar then leads the herd back to the Nesting Grounds. Sometime later, a new generation of dinosaurs hatches, among them Aladar and Neera's children
