The Pixar team (director and co-writer Peter Sohn with Meg LeFauve, who wrote the screenplay based on a story by Sohn, Erik Benson and Kelsey Mann) imagines a world in which the asteroid that struck the Earth and created the extinction-level event that wiped out the dinosaurs never happened. The new world order leads to the unlikely relationship between an Apatosaurus and a human boy when the pair hooks up for a wild journey together. Young voice actors and veteran character actors (Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand, Steve Zahn and Sam Elliott) provide the intimate thrills for this amazing adventure.
