In The Land Before Time series (including the original film by Don Bluth), the herbivorous dinosaurs are the heroes (though I think Cera the Triceratops is a stark contrast to the trope Herbivores Are Friendly due to the fact that she was taught by her father to be bigoted to herbivorous dinosaurs outside her species, though in the sequels, Cera only butts heads with other dinosaurs whenever things don’t go their or her way), while carnivorous theropod dinosaurs are the main villains (the only carnivore who befriends the heroes is a baby Tyrannosaurus rex named Chomper, who appeared in the second Land Before Time film, and eventually became a breakout character due to being popular with critics and fans). In The Land Before Time series, the carnivorous theropods always fail to eat the herbivorous dinosaurs because it’s old fiction aimed at children and uses the trope Predators Are Mean.

However, I am going to make a dinosaur movie franchise that will take place in the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous period in prehistoric Laramidia. It is a franchise similar to The Lion King. It will feature a Tyrannosaurus rex as its central character, and the theme of the franchise is the circle of life. In the franchise, predation will be depicted as part of the circle of life (using the trope Predation is Natural). Thomas the father Tyrannosaurus rex will explain the circle of life to Tyrone, and the villains will be Dakotaraptors (likely because Nanotyrannus is a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex). The Dakotaraptors who will be Samuel’s henchmen will be bad, while the Dakotaraptors in Tyrone’s kingdom will be good. Dakotaraptor was a flightless feathered theropod dinosaur that mostly hunted for its food, but would have scavenged if the opportunity arose. Thomas will also explain to Tyrone that Tyrannosaurus rex also scavenge, especially if they fail to catch their prey. In The original Land Before Time, the Tyrannosaurus rex only pursues Littlefoot and his friends because he is sadistic and vengeful, since one of them had blinded him in one eye with a thorn. However, when Thomas tells Tyrone that Tyrannosaurus rex need lots of meat in order to survive, Tyrone will say “But, Dad, eating baby dinosaurs keeps the population in check”, and Thomas will say “I know, my son. But Tyrannosaurus rex need lots of meat in order to survive. So when you get hungry, bring down adult dinosaurs, not the babies.” The reason is because Tyrannosaurus rex and other carnivorous theropods were vital to the ecology. The Tyrannosaurus rex is not evil, nor is he cruel and sadistic, he just eats other dinosaurs to survive and to control their population. This is why the Tyrannosaurus rex is going to be a hero in my dinosaur movie franchise. In my television show, Tyrone will explain to his son Tyler about the circle of life and tell him to defend his kingdom from dinosaurs who are disrespectful to the circle of life.
