Genndy Tartakovsky’s “Primal” continues his affinity for pitting his human-sized heroes against gargantuan foes. The historically anachronistic animated epic introduces its neanderthal champion, Spear, and his partner, a female Tyrannosaurus named Fang, as they find common cause in grief. Both lost their families to the same murderous pack of dinosaurs. Both realize that the only way they’ll survive the world’s savagery is to take care of each other.
Throughout their adventures, Spear and Fang defeat or at least outwit enemies much larger than themselves, including a war-hungry Viking clan of enslavers and a tyrannical Egyptian conqueror.
