WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In an alternative timeline where the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago never even hit Earth, a young Apatosaurus dinosaur named Arlo (Ochoa) is separated from his family after a freak accident. Lost in the wilderness and surrounded by the things that terrify him the most, Arlo soon comes across a human caveboy whom he names Spot (Bright), and the two bond as they make their way home…
