Cast and Characters
- D. B. Sweeney as Aladar, a brave and compassionate Iguanodon who has been adopted into a family of lemurs and does what he can to make sure that the old and weak aren't left behind during the herd's migration.
- Ossie Davis as Yar, a lemur patriarch whose occasional gruff demeanor is just a front covering his more compassionate interior. He is the father of Plio and Zini and the grandfather of Suri.
- Alfre Woodard as Plio, a lemur matriarch who cares for her family.
- Max Casella as Zini, Aladar's best friend and wisecracking sidekick, Suri's uncle and Plio's younger brother.

- Samuel E. Wright as Kron, an Iguanodon leading a herd of dinosaur survivors who is characterized by a strict adherence to social Darwinism. He believes in survival of the fittest, which repeatedly clashes with Aladar's compassionate manner.

- Julianna Margulies as Neera, Kron's sister, who ends up falling in love with Aladar because of his compassionate ways.
- Joan Plowright as Baylene, an elderly and dainty Brachiosaurus, who is the last of her species as she hasn't seen another Brachiosaurus in the herd's journeys after the meteor hit.
- Della Reese as Eema, a wizened, elderly and slow-moving Styracosaurus, and has a pet Ankylosaurus named Url.

Famous quotes containing the words cast and/or characters:
“There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
—Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 8:12.
Referring to the children of the kingdom ... cast out into outer darkness. The words are also used in the parable of the talents, in Matthew 25:30, said of the unprofitable servant.
“To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has never had a chance, poor devil, you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.”
—Margot Asquith (18641945)
