It is developed and produced by UK animation studio Red Star, the team behind The Amazing Maurice, and tells the story of Rex the dinosaur, whose father is the king of dinosaurs.

Film Constellation will be introducing a first 3D animation teaser to buyers in Cannes, with a delivery scheduled for the second part of 2024. Film Constellation is helping to finance the project, which is budgeted at $10m. 

Smith’s credits include 2019 animation StarDog And TurboCat, which featured voice talent including Luke Evans, Nick Frost and Gemma Arterton.

”I am beyond excited to bring this incredible family adventure to life, with a bigger than life character in Rex, the last of his kind, sent forward in time,” said Smith.

The Last Dinosaur is the big-hearted comedy adventure for the entire family that cinemas are craving for. We can’t wait to introduce it to our distributors in Cannes,” said Leo Teste, director of sales and distribution.
