65 million years later, Apatosaurus farmers Henry and Ida
have children Libby, Buck, and the runt Arlo, who has trouble adjusting to farm
life. While his successful siblings are allowed to "make their mark"
(a mud-print on the family's corn silo), Arlo's timid nature makes even simple
tasks difficult for him. Henry attempts to give Arlo a sense of purpose by
putting him in charge of guarding their silo, and helps him set a trap. It
captures a feral caveboy, but Arlo doesn't have the heart to kill him, and sets
him free. Disappointed, Henry takes Arlo to track the caveboy, leading them
into a ravine. Henry saves Arlo from a flash flood before being swept away and
killed.
Without his father, Arlo shoulders more of the workload. He
spots the same caveboy inside the silo and, blaming him for his father's death,
chases him until both fall into a river. Arlo cannot swim, and is swept
downstream where he hits his head on a rock and knocked unconscious. Awakening,
he finds himself far from home and tries to survive on his own, but becomes
trapped when a boulder pins his leg down. The next day Arlo wakes to find his
leg has been freed, and the caveboy appears with food for him. The caveboy then
leads Arlo to a berry tree, where the caveboy fends off a large snake, amazing
Arlo and impressing a nearby eccentric Styracosaurus who wants to keep the boy.
He forces Arlo to compete with him to give the boy a name he will respond to,
which Arlo finally wins when he calls him "Spot". Arlo and Spot bond
as Arlo laments his lost family, and Spot reveals that his own parents are
dead. When a thunderstorm strikes, Arlo runs away in fear and loses the
riverbank he has been following home.

A heart-warming movie of a little dinosaur, Arlo, who had to grow up after losing his father and family. Together with Spot, a caveboy who was inadvertently involved in his father's death, they ventured on an unforgettable adventure where they became friends and learning to cope in the wilderness themselves. Especially for Arlo as he has to overcome his fears and eventually became a very independent dinosaur.
A very nice animation with good intentions which are great for children to pick-up and learn. Truly fun to watch with the family.
