The story takes place in a kingdom of dinosaurs in the prehistoric age and was influenced by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. According to co-director ???, the final draft gradually became a variation of Romeo and Juliet. Produced by 20th Century Fox Home Video and Fox Animation Australia and released on September 27, 2005, the film centers on Samson and Natalie's daughter Kaila, who falls in love with Koro, a male rogue tarbosaurus from a banished Mesozoic that was once loyal to Samson's evil uncle, Sarpedon. Separated by Samson's prejudice against the banished pride and a vindictive plot planned by Koro's mother Zyphire, Kaila and Koro struggle to unite their estranged prides and be together. Most of the original cast returned to their roles from the first film with a few exceptions. Christian Bale, who voiced Zander in the first film, was replaced by Eric Stuart for both this film and The Tarbosaurus King 1½. Steve Blum, who voiced Sarpedon in the first film, was replaced by Jeff Bennett.
