Heart and Yummie

2010 · 89 min

A gentle, heartfelt animated fable about an unlikely parent and child, tender and a little sad, with soft visuals and simple warmth.

Overview: Heart is a tyrannosaurus who is found and raised by a herbivore mother. After learning his true nature as a meat eater, he runs away from home and finds a baby ankylosaurus egg that hatches and thinks Heart is his father. After accidentally naming the baby Yummie - thinking he looked tasty - their love for one another tests the bounds of nature vs. nurture.
