A Dog in Dinosaur Times

From the studios that brought you "A Dog's Purpose" and "A Dog's Way Home," "A Dog in Dinosaur Times" is a 2D animated family movie directed by Charles Martin Smith.

Summery
After a mishap, a Terrier named Nahum had climbed into his owner's time machine, which took him to the time of the dinosaurs. While trying to survive, Nahum made friends with a young Triceratops named Tierra. Together, they try to fight dangerous creatures and natural disasters as they try to get the time machine back from an evil Raptor, who has plans to invade the future.

Plot
In the dog-friendly town of Paroldton, Oregon, a Terrier named Nahum has been an outcast to every dog. But his only friends are a Pitbull named David, his sister Becca, and Immanuel Umarka, the 12-year-old son of Sarah Umarka and Alex Umarka, a smart scientist. Whenever Carter and Tammy, a Dobermann and a Dalmatian, are around they often bullied Nahum, but Becca and David always defend Nahum. Nahum also has a romantic interest on a Beagle named Esther, but he doesn't have the courage to tell her about his love.

One day, during a scientist banquet, Nahum, Becca, and David were in the backyard and Immanuel's best friend, Xavier Collins, had came over to play. While the three dogs were playing Carter and Tammy were spying on them. Carter then decided to dump orange paint on Nahum to make everyone laugh at him. Tammy was feeling unsure about the idea, but Carter told Tammy that everything will be fine. So, when Nahum was near the fence Carter poured orange paint on the Terrier turning him orange. Carter laughed at Nahum and Tammy wasn't pleased about Carter's wicked prank.

Scared of being laughed at, Nahum ran into the garage. Nahum then noticed a strange-looking machine and thought that it would be a great spot to hide. After climbing inside Nahum examined the controls and accidently pressed a button that closed the door. Nahum was beginning to feel a bit panicked and started looking for the same button, but he instead pressed a button marked dinosaurs. The machine started to shake for about a few minutes and Nahum passed out when the machine took him somewhere.

When Nahum woke up, he'd noticed that the machine had stopped shaking and has decided to wash the orange paint off. But, upon opening the door, Nahum was shocked to find himself in a strange looking landscape with some unusual plants. Thinking that he's in the jungles of South America, Nahum went to a nearby stream and washed the paint off of his fur. Just then, Nahum felt the ground shake as something really big was coming his way. He hid behind a bush to see a T-Rex emerging from the trees. Nahum couldn't believe his eyes when he'd found out that he's in the time of the dinosaurs and his cries were heard by the T-Rex, making the Terrier really scared.

Meanwhile, in the present, Becca and David were searching for Nahum, but they couldn't find him. That's when they've followed his scent into the garage and noticed the spot where the machine once stood. Becca then decided to alert the family about this and David hopes that Nahum is alright.

Back in dinosaur times, Nahum had dodged the T-Rex attacks, but then finds himself cornered as the T-Rex prepares to eat him. Soon enough, a young female Triceratops jumps out and drives the T-Rex, Tyranor, away from the dog. After checking up on Nahum the Triceratops introduced herself as Tierra and she offered Nahum a place to stay. Nahum refused at first, but Tierra told him that he'll be safe from other mean dinos. So, Nahum agreed and Tierra took him to her hideout, where she introduced her group of young dinosaurs to Nahum.

Tierra's group consist a young Brachiosaurus named Shactor, a young Diplodocus named Wimman, a young Pterodactyl named Lei, and a young Argentinosaurus named Argentina. They all said hi to Nahum and told him how they each came to be part of Tierra's group. Nahum was happy to be with Tierra and her friends. But the Terrier misses his home, his owner, and his friends back in Paroldton.

The next day, Nahum, Tierra, and the other young dinos went to the stream, where Nahum was attacked, for a drink. When Lei noticed the machine nearby she asked Nahum where it came from. Nahum then told the young dinos all about Paroldton and everyone who lived there. They were shocked and confused when Nahum mention no dinosaurs. Nahum explained the catastrophic event that would end the reign of the dinosaurs, which made the young dinos scared of the upcoming event.

Tierra calmed her group down and told them that Nahum will bring them to his time. But the Terrier was a bit unsure about this and Tierra told him that she'll live with him and her group will live somewhere else. So, Nahum then agreed to do so. But what the group didn't know that a female Raptor, who was hiding behind a tree, had heard everything the group had said and rushed to tell her master about it.

Inside a mountain cave, a male Raptor named Henne is making sure that every Raptor in his pack are working when Junebug, the female Raptor, came up to him. She told Henne about the Terrier and the machine. Henne was surprised to hear about a dog from the future, which he wondered what happens in the future. Henne then ordered his crew of twenty three male Raptors, lead by Chomper, to bring back the machine, so that he can examine it. Junebug asked Henne why was he wondering about the future and Henne said that he'd always wondered what it was like.

Back at the hideout, Tierra watched Nahum putting things away, but was confused by the way Nahum is walking on two legs, despite being a dog. When Tierra asked Nahum about it he said that all dogs in his time walk on two legs when there are no humans around. Tierra wondered what it was like to walk on two legs, so Nahum asked her if he can teach her and she agreed to the idea. The two went outside and got the other young dinos to watch them. Tierra practiced for a few minutes with Nahum helping her. Eventually, Tierra had successfully walked on two legs and Nahum and the young dinos are proud of her.

In Paroldton, the news of the time machine had gotten out and Alex's fellow scientists were surprised about it, even when they found out that Nahum had became the first dog to go back in time. But neither the whole family and the scientists could figure out why Nahum would go back in time. That's when Tammy came up to Alex and gave him a picture of Carter pouring orange paint on Nahum. Everyone was shocked that a Dobermann would do such a mean thing to Nahum.

Suddenly, Carter pinned Tammy down and was angry with him for revealing the truth. Then Becca and David had pushed Carter off of Tammy and scared the Dobermann away. As Tammy was getting up, Becca thanked him for doing the right thing and she kissed him. Tammy blushed and felt happy for what he'd did.

Meanwhile, Nahum follows Tierra and her group to meet their friends and neighbors.
