When a dinosaur egg falls through a time vortex and lands in a duck’s nest, Rex hatches into a very unusual duckling. Bigger, louder and with sharp teeth, he struggles to fit in with his new family and the other barnyard animals. Determined to discover where he belongs, Rex sets off on an adventure. Along the way, a dangerous encounter with a velociraptor gives him the chance to show that being different can be a strength.
