We're Out. A Dinosaur's Story

**We're Out. A Dinosaur's Story** is A Dinosaur's Story rewritten. Major differences are the reduction of the cast, erasure of the Brain Grain plot, and overal tone of the story.

The remake was conceived on December 25, 2021, in the form of an answered question at Tumblr.

## Story

Quote (will expand later):

> *I don’t like seeing carnivorous animals getting downgraded to goofy cereal mascots -your fangs and claws are not for show- and things like Captain Googlyeyes' alien assistant is one of the many distracting additions that makes this movie's universe even more confusing than it already is.*
> *Snatching up dangerous creatures from a primitive past is really irresponsible as well, and granting them self-awareness just cruel. How are they able to have a normal life in a modern environment ruled by humans?*
>
>
> *Never mind that the movie starts off with a clothed dinosaur freely playing golf in the open.*
>
>
> *Captain Newsight is an odd character as well. Spying on random children praying to Jesus to see a living dinosaur is a bad way to spend your time, and a man with earth-shattering inventions surely has more important things to do than cater to these losers.*
> *There's still so much we haven't figured out about dinosaurs; the guy should’ve focussed himself on helping paleontologists by collecting dino carcasses or something. If you’re going to play dangerous games and meddle with the past, at least have a proper reason. And he should be a "professor". What's the point in making him a "captain".*
>
>
> *So, when the professor accidentally grabs a newborn, living T-Rex, he doesn't even know it’s one, thus there’s no immediate panic from his side. But then the thing escapes and roams around the city, falls in some water, our hero child shows up in a boat he planned to sail off with, saves it, T-Rex shows gratitude by sticking around.*

> *Speaking of hero child..*
>
>
> *Lame reasons and lame dreams define this movie, and Louie had one too. It’s important to make the audience understand a character’s plight, maybe even support it, but there's nothing about Louie that makes you feel empathetic. I'm sure most viewers were screaming "Go home already, brat!" the entire running time of the movie.*
>
>
> *He needs a home situation worth running from, preferably kept subtle. You can sprinkle in hints throughout the story, like making him respond fearful to certain situations, curt and dismissive about subjects, and/or maybe he’ll suffer seizures at random moments.*
> *I’m not sure a movie like this would be appropriate for children, depends on how you portray these scenes, but at the very least adult viewers would understand that perhaps Louie was a drugs baby who lived in a car with either one of his parents and got the shit kicked out of him on a daily basis. For example.*
> *Or not, don’t give any real hints and just flat-out spell out the details near the end.*
>
>
> *Anyway, the circus showdown scene in the original movie was alright. What failing circus wouldn't want a real T-Rex to profit off of. Pretty good course to take the story. I’d let someone else be the owner, though, not Professor Eyevefallenandeyecantgetup's "evil" twin brother. It has to be a normal person; not someone who’s overly evil or overly good. Those caricatures tend to raise the same kind of red flag with people.*
>
>
> *This man happens to spot the now adult Louie and his T-Rex pet, and since it's not hard to discern he's homeless, tries to earn his trust and offers him to stay at his circus.*
> *Louie stays skeptical for a very long time and rather not have people discover Rex, it’s hard enough keeping him out of the public eye, but (fatherly) kindness is something he never got to experience and he eventually decides to show him off.*
> *This guy then tries to charm him further into letting Rex become his circus attraction -perhaps advertised as being special effects or something- but he isn't especially nice to Rex during training, and though the actual performances are going fairly well, Louie can see the noise and crowds are stressing Rex out.*
>
>
> *T-Rexes assumedly have really good smell, eyesight, and hearing, so every one of his senses are constantly being triggered to the extreme. Even so, the circus owner is first to lose his temper.*
> *After many failed shows with near-miss accidents, customers are too afraid to come anymore and the circus loses more money than before. The owner gets out his whip and beats the giant lizard in a drunken rage.*
>
>
> *Louie recognizes the scene all too well and becomes angry, but his anger is what makes Rex angry and he starts attacking everything. Louie doesn't really care about the tents and objects getting crushed, but when he starts chomping at his abuser and the staff, he tries to get in between them.*
>
>
> *Rex accidentally bites one of Louie’s arms off and becomes conflicted, because he feels bad about it, but his friend tastes good. Louie still wants to try and calm him down, but before he can do much, Professor Friedeyes shows up with a device to transport Rex back to the past.*
> *Louie cries about it, but Rex pulls off a surprisingly intelligent move by recognizing he’s become a danger to him and allows himself to get swallowed by the professor’s portal. Though he’s already an adult, the movie ends with the professor having adopted Louie. He feels to owe him for losing his arm to an animal he transported to modern times and failed to capture. He stopped collecting animal bodies years ago, but kept all of his machinery and has given Louie permission to look at the image of Rex living his life back where he belongs.*
> *Maybe Louie has a normal pet reptile now, called “Two-Rex“, because this is obviously a comedy.*
