	Movies - We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story

We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story is an animated film, produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblimation animation studio, distributed by Universal Pictures, and originally released to movie theatres by 1993.

It was loosely based on the children's book We're Back!, which was narrated from the perspective of the main character, a Tyrannosaurus rex named Rex.

Plot

The story starts as Buster, a baby bird tired of his siblings picking on him, packs up and leaves his nest despite his mother telling him that he is too young to do so. Buster jumps off the tree, but is yet unable to fly. He falls down and meets Rex, the now-intelligent Tyrannosaurus Rex, who is playing golf. They introduce themselves to each other. When Buster questions Rex on his ability to play golf, because he is a dinosaur, Rex replies by saying he is smart enough. Buster then tells Rex that he is leaving home to "join a circus". Then, Rex tells him that some of his friends have been in circus, and the story unfolds.

The scene changes to a flashback, and a small dinosaur is being chased by a hungry Rex from earlier years. Then, a gigantic winged spacecraft flies from the sky and knocks him down. A small alien flies out of the craft and starts advertising "Brain Grain Cereal" (which can make anybody who eats it intelligent) to the T-rex, who tries to eat the alien in return. The alien then lures the dinosaur into the spacecraft, trapping its head inside. A couple of armed machines feed Rex the cereal, and he undergoes a change, becoming intelligent, able to speak, and gentle-looking.
