March of the Dinosaurs (2011)

Lavish CGI animation March of the Dinosaurs follows a pair of young dinosaurs, Scar and Patch across the Earth some seventy million years ago.

Narrated by Stephen Fry the action begins in the prehistoric North Pole, where summers are warm but as winter sets in, plants shrivel and die, temperatures plummet and darkness creeps over the land.

The North Pole becomes a deathtrap and its dinosaurs face a thousand mile journey over hostile territory in a desperate march south to find the sun.

Scar is a young vegetarian Edmontosaurus who hatched in the spring, and Patch is a young male feathered, raptor-like Troodon. As a carnivore, Patch has feasted all summer on baby Edmontosaurus. Unfortunately for him his favourite food is now bigger than he is but Troodon are clever, born to hunt and kill. Troodon like Patch are equipped to cope through the winter but it really is survival of the fittest as they fight for the remaining food in the permanent darkness. Everyone and everything is fair game.

As the herds continue their trek, can they battle against extreme weather, predators and lack of food to make it over a thousand miles to their winter safe haven?
