Dinosaur (2000 film)/Transcript

(The movie opens with the logos as the scene cuts to black and fades up to a baby Iguanodon inside the egg with the sound of heartbeats as the logo "Walt Disney Pictures presents" fades up while a baby Iguanodon snuffles and swims inside the egg until a female Iguanodon shows up after the text comes up: "In Association with Spyglass Entertainment.)

Plio: (narrating) Some things start out big, and some things start out small, very small. (A baby Iguanodon opens its eye and gurgles) But sometimes the smallest thing can make the biggest changes of all.

''(The camera pans back to the nest of Iguanodon eggs while the text comes up: "An Amblin Entertainment Production" and then the title fades up: "Dinosaur". A female Iguanodon softly pats her egg and she looks at her eggs and hears the sounds of Ichthyornis squawking and flying around. A female Iguanodon uses her hand to move her egg at the edge of the nest. Then a baby Parasaurolophus tries to sniff the egg but a female Iguanodon swats at it and makes it shriek. A baby Parasaurolophus tries it again until a female Iguanodon scares it away and it runs off. A baby Parasaurolophus tries to take a look at the other Iguanodon eggs but the other female Iguanodon scares it away. A baby Parasaurolophus chases a flock of Ichthyornis where they fly away to the sky until it sees a Longisquama landing on a log. It goes to a Longisquama who looks at a dragonfly as he catches it with a tongue and devours it. A Longisquama sees a baby Parasaurolophus and it flies into the forest as he tries to catch it up until a Longisquama lands on a big branch and then a Carnotaurus' chest. A Carnotaurus exhales and snuffles as two drool drops land on a big branch. A baby Parasaurolophus looks at it and then a Carnotaurus wakes up growling softly with a mouth of drool. A baby Parasaurolophus comes out of the forest and runs away shrieking. The herd hears a baby Parasaurolophus shrieking as a Pachyrhinosaurus grunts and then a Carnotaurus breaks itself free from the forest as he chases after a baby Parasaurolophus where it cries out meekly twice. A Carnotaurus growls and then a baby Parasaurolophus flees itself like a coward while a Carnotaurus chases after the herd and crushes the Iguanodon eggs but one after he roars ferociously. It runs closer to a Pachyrhinosaurus overheated from running while panting. Then a Carnotaurus eats a Pachyrhinosaurus alive as it shrieks while a Carnotaurus grunts. The scene cuts to a footprint of a Carnotaurus where an Iguanodon egg still stands after a Carnotaurus eats a Pachyrhinosaurus and roars triumphantly. Suddenly, an Oviraptor comes closer to the egg chittering and trilling as he looks at it where it shakes a little bit and snatches it. An Oviraptor runs off into the forest as he jumps onto a log and runs over it like a bridge. He makes it to the cliff as he tries to crack it open but the egg seems unbreakable. He tries to eat it as he hears something cracking and trills. Another Oviraptor grabs an Iguanodon egg as an Oviraptor shrieks. Two Oviraptors growl and snort as they fight over the Iguanodon egg where it falls into the water. They see it and fight each other again. In the underwater, an Iguanodon egg drowns as a Labyrinthodont tries to swallow the egg but coughs it up and floats. At the surface, a pair of Talarurus snorts and growls at each other as they see an Iguanodon egg where it floats and flows away down the stream. One Talarurus sniffs as two of them resume their growling. In the underwater, an egg still flows as a herd of Pachyrhinosaurus drinks water as two of them growl while one tries to drink water, but the other pushes one and makes the egg jump. A Pteranodon squawks picks up an egg with its beak as it flies to a waterfall and dives. The scene goes to a waterfall as a Pteranodon flies past the camera. The scene cuts to a Pteranodon where it flies over the cliff and the herd as it flies underneath a Brontosaurus. The scene fades up to a Pteranodon where it flies to Lemur Island and then to a nest of two Pteranodon babies chirping as it flies higher and past the nest until it becomes swarmed with two Ichthyornis in the middle of a thunderstorm where they try to take the egg but a Pteranodon accidentally drops the egg and it falls into the camera. The scene changes to a flock of lemurs chittering and hiding in their trees while the thunder cracks as the lemurs whisper indistinctly. Plio peeks the leaf and sees the egg and crawls on the patch of moss.)

Young Zini: Yar, what is it?

Yar: I don't know. (Plio goes to the egg as he grunts) Plio, get back here! We don't know what it is!

Female Lemur: Plio, be careful.

(Yar and young Zini exhale slowly as Plio comes closer while the thunder flashes and reveals a baby Iguanodon inside. An Iguanodon egg shell cracks as Plio gasps and opens the egg as she recognizes the baby Iguanodon.)

Plio: Dad, get over here.

Yar: (he goes to Plio after Zini was about to see the egg) Zini, it's not safe.

Young Zini: Oh, I always have to go when stuff's happening.

(Yar harrumphs and crawls to Plio.)

Yar: Well, what is it?

Plio: It was an egg. (turns around and shows a baby Iguanodon named Aladar to Yar) Look!

Yar: (gasps)

Plio: What?

Yar: It's a cold-blooded monster, from across the sea. Vicious, flesh-eating! (baby Aladar burps) Eurgh.

Plio: Looks like a baby to me.

Yar: Babies grow up. You keep that thing, one day, we'll turn our backs, it'll be picking us out of its teeth! (A group of lemurs gasps) Things like that eat things like us as snacks!

Plio: So, what do we do?

Yar: Get rid of it!

Plio: What has gotten into you?

Yar: Plio, that thing is dangerous!

Plio: (sighs deeply) I'm sorry, little one. (handles baby Aladar over to Yar) Okay, get rid of it.

Yar: (gasps)

Plio: (harrumphs)

Yar: All right. I will.

(Yar lifts baby Aladar over the edge of the branch, preparing to drop the dinosaur baby to his death. All the other lemurs are watching him. Instead of dropping baby Aladar, Yar hesitates, muttering to himself as though trying to will himself to do his job.)

Plio: (sarcastically) You better hurry up, Dad. It looks hungry.

Yar: (harrumphs)

(Yar looks at baby Aladar. Baby Aladar gurgles and looks at Yar with droopy eyelids. Yar stammers indecisively, trying hand not to be overcome with tenderness for the baby dinosaur. Then, he closes his eyes and grunts, defeated. Yar hears a strange sound and opens his eyes to see that baby Aladar urinates on him.)

Yar: Hmm. (handles Aladar back to Plio) Here.

Plio: (grins) It's okay, we'll teach him to hate meat.

Yar: (harrumphs) Watch his head! (stops at lemurs to baby Aladar) I-I mean, watch it. He could bite. (he walks away from a patch of moss)

Young Zini: (about Aladar as a baby) This monster's got no teeth. What's he gonna do? Gum us to death?

Plio: Zini, come on, look at that sweet, little face. Does that look like a monster to you?
