Dinosaur Quest-a Ice age spoof

Here's a look at Dinosaur Quest, an ice age spoof, enjoy the preview.

## Plot

Scurry, a saber-toothed squirrel-like mammal called a Cronopio, tells the start of the story as he attempts to find a place to store his acorn for the winter. Eventually, as he tries to stomp it into the ground, he inadvertently causes a large crack to form in the ice that extends for miles before setting off a large avalanche which nearly crushes him. He barely escapes but finds himself getting stepped on by a herd of Dinosaurs and other animals migrating south in order to escape the forthcoming ice age. Cory, a clumsy Corythosaurus, is left behind by his family and decides to move on and find his herd by himself, but is attacked by two *Pachyrhinosaurus* after ruining their meal and making them angry. Cory is soon rescued by Bronto, a cynical Brontosaurus heading north, who fights the Pachyrhinosaurs off and continues on his path. Cory joins Bronto, not wanting to be alone and unprotected. Bronto is annoyed by Cory's outgoing demeanor and wishes to migrate on his own, but Sid nonetheless continues to follow Bronto. Meanwhile, Snarl, the leader of a *Theropod* pack, wants revenge on a T-rex family tribe for killing and eating half of his pack by eating the chief's infant son, Shannon, alive. Snarl leads a raid on the human camp, during which Shannon's mother flees with her son. Cornered by Big Snarl's lieutenant, Tyro, she leaps down the waterfall with Shannon. As punishment for his failure to retrieve the boy, Tyro is sent to find and retrieve him while the rest of the pack waits for him at a mountain known as Half-Claw Peak. If he fails, he will be killed in Shannon's place.

Later, Cory and Bronto encounter the mother struggling out of the lake, being rescue by some Brontosaurus who broke her plunge. The mother only has enough strength to entrust Shannon to Bronto before she wishes her pals good luck and rides a couple of Deinosuchus in the water. After much persuasion by Cory, they decide to return the baby, but when they reach the human settlement, they find it deserted. They meet up with Diego, who convinces the pair to let him help by tracking the humans. The four travel on, with Tyro secretly leading them to Half-Claw Peak where his pack is waiting to ambush them.

After encountering several misadventures and meeting some pals (e.g. Hesperornis) on their way, the group reaches a cave with several cave paintings. There, Cory and Tyro learn about Bronto's past and his previous interactions with the Allosaurus, some of the Brontosaurus' predators, in which they slaughtered almost all of his family, consisting of his mate, pals and children, leaving Bronto and his mate and kids a few depressed loners. Later, the group almost reaches their destination, Half-Claw Peak, only to encounter a forming river of lava. Bronto and Cory, along with Shannon, make it across safely, but Cory and a Pterodactylus named Flap, who joins the group, saves a Velociraptor named Velcro who ends up hanging on a cliff, about to fall into the lava. Bronto saves him, narrowly missing certain death by falling into the lava himself. The group takes a break for the night, and Shannon takes his first walking steps towards Tyro, who starts to have a change of heart about his mission.

The next day, the herd approaches the ambush, causing Tyro, now full of respect for Bronto for saving his life, to change his mind and confess to Bronto and Cory about the ambush. As the pair turn hostile towards him, Tyro pleads for their trust and tries to foil the attack. The group battles Tyro's pack, but despite their efforts, Soto and his associates manage to corner Bronto. As Big Snarl closes in for the kill on Bronto, Tyro roars as he stomps in the way and is almost injured as a result. Bronto then knocks a distracted Big Snarl into a rock wall, causing several sharp rocks to fall onto Big Snarl, killing him and attracting some Allosaurus, who come to eat the corpse as Bronto gives some payback to avenge most of his herd's deaths. Horrified, the rest of the pack retreat and some Deinosuchus pursue them. Bronto, Velcro, Flap Pterodactylus, and Cory mourn for Tyro's injury, which they believe is fatal, and continue their journey without him. The two manage to successfully return Shannon to his tribe [e.g. his mom, dad], and to their surprise, Tyro and some of his reformed pack members manage and the rival T-rex tribe manage to rejoin them in time to see Shannon leave. The group then begins to head off to warmer climates.

Meanwhile, Scurry, riding in a block of ice, ends up on the shores of a tropical island. As the ice slowly melts, an acorn that was also frozen in the same ice block is almost washed away. Scurry saves and eats his acorn and then, as he finishes the story, he then finds a coconut and tries to stomp it into the ground, only to accidentally trigger a volcanic eruption.
