Can a dinosaur play soccer? Dinosaur Dan is a young dinosaur who has excelled at all dinosaur activities: diving, drilling, and dump truck driving. His parents are extremely proud of his achievements and know he will go far in life. Despite his many successes, Dinosaur Dan is plagued by his dream to play soccer. Unfortunately, soccer is an activity reserved for squirrels (along with snorkeling and skiing). In Animalville, all animals are happy with their place and no one has ever thought to question the status quo. With the help of Coach Carl Chameleon, who sees the great potential in Dinosaur Dan, a brave young dinosaur breaks free from society's expectations to follow his heart, and in turn, inspire others.
