The story is based in the prehistoric age and tells the tale of the friendship between a caveman and a dinosaur.

He also mentioned that the cavemen tend to revert to movement on all four limbs ( just like a gorilla ) when he needed to move swiftly and agilely.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; when asked about why he made the series without any dialogue, Genndy mentioned that with dialogue viewers tend to pay less attention to the visuals because they can &#8220;drift off&#8221; and just let the words fill in the narrative, but with this series the viewers will have to pay close attention to what is happening on screen the entire time or chance missing important moments in the story.<\/p>\n<p>Primal begins October 7 at midnight on Adult Swim, I&#8217;m definitely watching all of it !<br \/>\n<BR\/><br \/>\nYou might also be interested in these items :<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BW15HGKF\/?tag=halcreal-20' rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target='_blank'><img src='https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/81K2UvF1xqL._AC_UY218_.jpg' alt='' title=\"Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal: The Complete Second Season (Blu-ray) Amazon Purchase Link\"><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B091GDVQKR\/?tag=halcreal-20' rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target='_blank'><img src='https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/81jNK-9gpmL._AC_UY218_.jpg' alt='' title=\"Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal: The Complete First Season (Blu-ray) Amazon Purchase Link\"><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0D387SRG1\/?tag=halcreal-20' rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target='_blank'><img src='https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/81ypy9ELmdL._AC_UY218_.jpg' alt='' title=\"Chainsaw Man: Season One [Blu-Ray]  Amazon Purchase Link\"><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07HSJ5BQQ\/?tag=halcreal-20' rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target='_blank'><img src='https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/81THcav4aHL._AC_UY218_.jpg' alt='' title=\"Castlevania: Season 1 (BD) [Blu-ray] Amazon Purchase Link\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2435,1671,2432,2431,2433,2434],"class_list":["post-87919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-animation","tag-adult-swim","tag-animation","tag-dinosaurs","tag-genndy-tartakovsky","tag-prehistoric","tag-primal"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
