Dinosaurs again and with a message. Essentially this is a parable about the arms race and ultimately peace, for Long Neck and Thunder Foot finally discover that each is as afraid and reluctant to right as the other and that the best thing to do is to live in harmony. Foreman manages to give a full range of expressions to this unlikely pair and creates a dinosaur world of beauty and colour.
