“So cute it’s almost physically painful to watch” -Daniel, Letterboxd

Arkadin’s Christmas present to you is a FREE screening of a little-known yet aggressively adorable yuletide dinosaur kiddie movie from Japan! Made to capitalize on the success of Jurassic Park, REX: A DINOSAUR’S STORY is unique and charming — something like if My Dog Skip had a baby with Prehysteria. The film tells the story of an adorable young girl, Chie (Yumi Adachi), who befriends an even more adorable young dinosaur after it hatches from a prehistoric egg discovered by her paleontologist father. REX rightfully became a massive hit in its native Japan, but its theatrical run was cut short by its producer’s arrest on drug charges, and the film is virtually unknown in the United States. Get in the yuletide spirit with this should-be Christmas classic!
