Spoilers ahead
The film, narrated by Stephen Fry (UK) and Simon Kerr (US), opens on a sunny summer day in Northern Alaska, about 70 million years ago, where a thriving herd of Edmontosaurus and a heavily armored Edmontonia feed among lush Arctic vegetation. Scar, a young Edmontosaurus, enjoys life with his extended family, while a curious encounter with a young Alaskan Troodon named Patch hints at a changing balance of life in this frozen world. Patch has spent the summer hunting baby Edmontosaurus, but as the youngsters grow, even his nimble predation becomes harder. A chase after an Alphadon shows Patch’s hunger, yet another Troodon seizes the fleeing mammal, and Patch’s impatience grows.
