Into the DragonVerse (The Land Before Time Nerd)

Into the DragonVerse is an American live action/computer animated/traditionally hand-drawn animated action adventure musical comedy fantasy crossover film based on the traditionally animated show, Ruby: The Incredible Night Fury and its sister show,  The Land Before Time: Adventures in the Big City  and was directed by Brad Bird, and Dean DeBlois and produced by FiddleGriff Animation, Universal Animation Studios, DreamWorks Animation and Amblin Entertainment, and distributed by Universal Pictures and 20th Century Studios. The film usually combines uses of traditional 2D hand drawn animation (Land Before Time characters and other characters) Computer animation (for Night Fury Ruby and How to Train Your Dragon characters) and live action (Humans and the world). The animation was done in-house at FiddleGriff’s main studio in Los Angeles, California while additional overseas animation services were provided by Toon City Animation.

The film stars Meghan Strange, Issac Ryan Brown, Tom Holland, Will Ryan, Rob Paulsen, Stephen Merchant, Reba McEntire, Jess Harnell, Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Jack Gore, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jonah Hill, T.J. Miller, Jeff Bennett and Kristen Wiig.

The film features characters from other dragon related franchises and main characters from the forgotten Marvel comic series, DinoSquad. Of course not to mention various FiddleGriff characters...

The film takes place between the first and second seasons.
