AniWorthSpeckles the Tarbosaurus
Introduction
70 million years ago dinosaurs ruled the Korean Peninsula the same way they ruled the rest of the earth. At that time the part of the land now known as Jeonnam Yeosu was the forest habitat of numerous dinosaur species: Tarbosaurus. The youngest of a family of Tarbosaurs, Spotty is a curious and playful child. Along with his mother and siblings, he lives happily in the forest, waiting patiently to learn to hunt. When that day arrives, it marks the beginning of a long and painful journey into adulthood for Spotty. The cunning One-eye, an older Tyrannosaur looking for a new home, attacks Spotty's herd one day and, smelling sure victory, viciously tears Spotty's family away from him. Now on his own, he meets up with another lonely, lost Tarbosaur. Blue Eyes becomes his constant companion for two decades and the mother of his own children. But fate is fickle and Spotty's troubles with One-eye are not over, and revenge, death, fear, and sadness are all in Spotty's future - as is happiness and hope.

You really can find some surprising things listed on this site. I remembered seeing this way back on DVD, and thought I'd do a review, as this seems little-watched, which is a shame as this is quite a gem of a movie. This is my first ever review so forgive me for any errors.
//Potential Spoilers?//
Our story begins 80 Million years ago (I know the synopsis says 70 Million years ago, but it's wrong) narrated by our protagonist, a Tarbosaurus (a close relative of Tyrannosaurus) named Speckles, in what I think is Mongolia (but don't hold me to that) as he emerges from his egg into an uncertain world.
Time passes as Speckles grows and spends his days playing with his family, and even joining in on some of their hunts (no grocery stores in the Cretaceous period y'know?) and all is well for…
