Primal

I was pleasantly surprised.

Actions are louder than words. This can be seen here as well. It's a true piece of art and distributes some good values: loss and its coping mechanisms, bravery, friendship, survival, loyalty.

It's a good one. I highly recommend.

It's definitely nothing for younger children but aged 7 and up could watch that. Europeans aren't that strict and since it's animated it's kind of okay and has really good values.

I gave this a 9 until episode 5 now I have it a 10!!!! Just epic

Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, set in the Mesozoic era, depicts a story of a caveman named Spear, who, under tragic circumstances, is forced to ally with a T-Rex, Fang, in order to survive whatever obstacles it is they come across on their journey.

I'm three episodes in so far, and I'm hooked. Not only is it beautifully animated which makes every battle scene stand out and be visceral, but it does so much more to appeal to our internal emotions solely by the expressions on the characters' faces and their movements, without really humanizing anything. It reminds you that in this harsh world, to live is to eat, and to eat is to kill. The art style is gorgeous as well, with its world rich with subtle details to make it feel alive. The score for this hits a balance between something eerie and organic, with a bit of drums added in which adds to the tension during chases and whatnot.

This show is a gem. Please go see it and voice your support so we (hopefully) get to see more like this.

I had the chance to catch a preview screening of the first four episodes of Primal on the big screen in Los Angeles. This is the most stunning piece of animation I've seen in years. It completely immerses you in a rich, fantastic world. The character designs are brilliant. The action is awesome. And it does it all without a single word of spoken dialogue. A triumph of visual storytelling.

A thrilling, passionate show with cool prehistoric dinosaurs and creatures - you build a bond with it's two relatable leads and understand their anger, sadness, fear, amusement, happiness and curiosity; and neither even speaks a word. The animation and art style is fantastic and the jurassic landscape that Spear and Fang inhabit is immersive and atmospheric. I highly recommend this show to anyone looking for well-made animated storytelling (if you can handle the brutality in both it's themes and imagery).
