Dainason: The Motion Picture

***Dainason: The Motion Picture*** is a 2015 stop motion film based on the *Dainason* series from the *Dinosaur King* franchise. It is KB Fan Fiction's 156th feature film.

## Premise

A group of dinosaurs form a team and head on an adventure around Kyoryu Island to search for their families.

## Plot

The film begins with the hatching of the main characters, and focuses on a *Deinonychus* hatchling named TerroClaw. It was the dry season, and some of the dinosaurs must move to the Grass Country where food is abundant. TerroClaw was hatched in Secret Island, and was separated from his parents after a tidal wave swept a swathe of the *Deinonychus* nesting area in Secret Island.

TerroClaw washes onto the shore of Earth Country where he comes across a gigantic predator. It was later repelled by a pair of *Tuojiangosaurus* with its baby, T.J. Thinking that TerroClaw is harmless, T.J. decides to take care of TerroClaw, who gets used to the *Tuojiangosaurus* herd while finding suitable food items to eat: insects. Suddenly, an earthquake shook Earth Country and TerroClaw and T.J. are separated from the herd.

On their way to look for their parents, TerroClaw and T.J. meet a young *Baryonyx* named Bart and a baby *Suchomimus* named Sucho. The two young spinosaurids teach TerroClaw how to catch fish, where he succeeded after a few tries. Later that night, a baby *Daspletosaurus* named Daigo and a young *Mapusaurus* named Gordon join the group after grilling their catch with his fire powers.

The next morning, the gang moves on after meeting Colin, a young *Corythosaurus*, and Chisotao the baby *Tsintaosaurus*, who tells them about the abundance of food in the Grass Country and that a great number of Kyoryu Island's dinosaurs are migrating there for the season. Along the way, they help an injured baby *Pteranodon* named Flyer and invite him to the group. The group sees a large herd of various dinosaurs moving at the border with Lightning Country. They join the herd, and made new friends in the form of three baby armored dinosaurs: Talar (a *Talarurus*), Tarch (a *Tarchia*) and Goethe (a *Gastonia*). While the other dinosaurs settle to sleep for the night, TerroClaw encounters the legendary Master Microraptor, who "sees and knows all". TerroClaw asks Master Microraptor whether the group had any chance of reuniting with their families, and the feathered dinosaur replies that they are on the way to Grass Country, and that a giant predator is stalking them.

As morning broke, the herd moves on, and the predator, an albino *Giganotosaurus*, pursues the herd and the group until they reach the Grass Country border, where it battled and lost to a pack of *Daspletosaurus*, revealed to be Daigo's family. The group continues to follow the herd across the border and found a nesting ground near a lake, where they reunite with their families. TerroClaw returns to his parents and introduces his new friends to them. The narrator is revealed to be Master Microraptor, who watches over the herd.
