[edit] Teaser

The teaser trailer of the movie was released with the film Horton Hears a Who! that featured the saber-toothed squirrel cross rat, Scrat. The trailer suggests that the dinosaurs have been alive the entire time and were in fact living beneath thick layers of ice in a tropical habitat, and that after the ice thaws they will be exposed. The trailer was released in the website in May 2008, 14 months before the film is in theaters.

The trailer shows a blizzard happening, while Scrat tries to get through it, when he notices his acorn. After several struggles to get to it, he is frozen when the blizzard stops. He manages to pop open his eyes, and leans toward the acorn handle. He successfully pulls it out, after an explosion. Feeling around with his foot, he finds out that he has made a hole in the ice, and begins to fall. After hitting a few trees, he slides down to the tip of a scaly back, losing the acorn. He slides down to the tip of the tail as it rises, to come face to face with a Tyrannosaurus rex. The end of the trailer shows the Tyrannosaurus rex roaring at Scrat.
