Suggested by filmeinstein
A remake that'll still blend CGI animation with real-life backgrounds. A dinosaur egg is swept away from the mainland and winds up on an island inhabited by lemurs. Soon after being discovered, the egg hatches, and out from it comes a baby iguanodon. The leader of the clan, Yar, assumes that it'll grow up into a bloodthirsty monster. But his sweet-natured daughter, Plio, assumes otherwise and adopts the baby dino, naming him Aladar. Aladar grows up into a giant, but since iguanodons are vegetarians, he doesn't eat the lemurs. Though he likes to play "monster chase" with the lemur kids, including his adoptive sister, Suri. The lemurs have a courtship ritual and the only "bachelors" left are Aladar, and his adoptive thrill-seeking, not-so-suave uncle, Zini. Just when things couldn't get worse, the island gets destroyed by a meteor shower. The only survivors are Aladar, Plio and all her children (Suri included), Yar, Zini, and three other adult lemurs. They wash ashore on the mainland, where everything is all dried up due to droughts and earthquakes. At first, they get chased by velociraptors, but then encounter a herd of other herbivore giants. Some of them look just like Aladar, including the beautiful Neera. The leader, Kron, who doesn't take any excuses, reluctantly accepts the gang into the herd to find better nesting grounds. The obstacles are extreme heat, thirst, and predators (raptors, a carnotaur and the vicious GIGANTOSAUR).
