Adventures in Dinotopia - Full Movie

♪♪ I hate flying. This will be a treat, David. We're gonna go island hopping. You're gonna love it, I promise. Let's just leave him behind, Dad. He's gonna be like this all day. I agree with Karl. I was happier reading back at the villa. You're not gonna be sitting in your room reading, David. You're gonna be out doing something. There, we're all set. Come on, Karl, fly the plane. This is very important. You keep your air speed above 140. Okay. This is so cool. He's flying the plane. Yeah, I see

. Wake me up 20 minutes before landing. What?! It's all right, David. I think I know what I'm doing. (thunder cracking) What is that? What? That, there. What is that? You see that? Whoa, wake up, Dad! Dad! Where did that come from? Are we still on the same heading? I think so. Hang on, I'm gonna turn and try to outrun this thing. Oh no! Hang on! No! We gotta get out! Come on, hurry! Open the door! Get your brother out! (muffled grunting) Karl! Hang on! Where's Dad? I couldn't get him out! What a

re we gonna do? Come on! Follow me! ♪♪ (boys panting) What are we doing? We should have just stayed with the plane. We didn't have a choice, David. We would have drowned. How could you say that? We just left him. I tried, there was nothing I could do. What happened happened. Now, if we can find some help... a phone... maybe there's a chance. (wings flapping, bird squawking) (wind growling) What the hell is that? I don't know. (explosion) Sorry! (both coughing) Sorry, apologies. Sincere apologies

for the inconvenience. I have, uh... I have permission from the Volcaneum Council to explore ancient sites in the hope of finding unused sunstones. Unless I'm very much mistaken, you're something of a rarity, eh? So, where are we exactly? Oh, Dinotopia. Dinotopia? Where is that? Listen, can I use your cell phone? What? You know, a telephone. We need to call the Coast Guard right away. We were in a storm and our plane, it crashed. Our father, he's missing. We've got to get some help. Oh, you'll

want a postal bird. I'm afraid I can't help you there. Postal bird? Postal bird. What were you doing up there anyway? Oh, just a bit of archaeology. You're the first archaeologist I've met who uses dynamite. Yes, well, I have a number of occupations, to be honest with you. I'm something of an independent spirit, which can get a man into trouble around here. Mm! Oh, fancy a livener? No, thanks. Go on. Well, for what it's worth, and at no extra cost, I offer you the eternal friendship of Cyrus Cra

bb. That's me. You got anything you want to swap? Rings, watches? No? Well, if it's any use to you, boys, I'll escort you to the Chandera bus depot. I'm catching a bus there myself in about half an hour. Fancy that? All right. Follow me. (people chattering) Come on. Look at the signs. What kind of markings are those? (animal screeching) What is that? Scalator. You'll get used to it. Might as well go down grunting like a pig or barking, if you ask me. Come on. (animal roaring, people screaming) W

hat's going on? Don't panic. (roaring) Dinosaurs died off millions of years ago. (chuckles) If only, my boy, if only. (man screaming) Time to say farewell, I think. Oh! (chuckles) There she is. I thought she'd turn up at a time like this. (Karl) Who is she? Ah... come on, boys. What's she doing? Fun's over. She must be crazy. (roaring) Easy now. (David) Is she nuts? Hey! (woman) Easy. (bellowing) (squishing, dinosaur roaring) Toothache. (chattering and applause) That was amazing. She's Dinotopia

n. 20th generation. I'd love to spend more time with you, but I have to catch a night bus to Volcaneum. Very important meeting. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to call. It's no bother at all. "Crabb's Curios, Waterfall City." That's your store? The finest in antiques and antiquities. And listen, don't waste your time in the provinces. Go to Waterfall City. You just pick up your tickets over there. Maybe we'll see you there. Oh, you can be sure of it. I know future friends when I see

them. Better hurry. Over there. Great, thank you. There, that should do you. Excuse me. Uh, hi. My name's Karl. This is my brother Davey. It's David. Hi. Hello. My name's Marion. You were pretty impressive dealing with that... whatever it was. Ankylosaurus. Weren't you scared? I'm training to be a leader. I must be calm in a crisis if I'm expected to inspire others. You're not from around here, are you? Uh, no, not exactly. We had an accident and we swam ashore. Now we're trying to get to Water

fall City. Oh, that's my destination. Oh. What is that? (bellowing) This is the bus? He's a brach. Brachiosaurus. We'll be traveling with him across the Rainy Basin. (Karl) What's that for? Armor. That's to stop him from getting killed. (man) The bus is secure. We will be leaving in five minutes. Waterfall City direct. Please. Thank you, sir. (bell ringing) There's room at the back. ♪♪ (Marion) To get to Waterfall City, we have to cross the Rainy Basin. It's the domain of the carnivores. We only

cross when it's absolutely essential, and then only in convoy. But don't worry, we carry extra food to appease them. And besides, it's only one in five convoys that are attacked. Now, just complete this hideous picture for us. Exactly what kind of dinosaurs are we likely to encounter? Tyrannosaurus Rex, of course. Of course. (David) What's happening? Why are we stopping? The brachs. Something's scaring them. (David) Where's he going? What is it? Tyrannosaurus. These droppings are fresh. And the

tracks... there are hundreds of them. Never seen anything like it. Tyrannosaurs never hunt in herds. These ones did. There's a small outpost at the edge of the forest. We've got to make sure they're safe. Come on. (thunder cracking) (Marion) What's happened here? Look. (David) What is it? The sunstone has failed. What's a sunstone? It's our source of power. It keeps the outposts and settlements safe. This one's dead. What happened to it? Quiet. What's going on? Must have been the thunder. We sh

ould get back to the brachs. (man) We can't. The brachs will never carry us through the storm. Then we'll have to find shelter here. (David sighing) (thunder cracking) (wood creaking) (whispering) Karl. Karl! Karl. Karl. Karl! What, what is it now? I swear I heard something. It was like a rumble coming through the floor. Just go back to bed. (roaring) (animals howling) Let's check it out. Okay. What? Can you see anything? No, nothing but jungle out there. (creaking) I thought... Well, I thought.

.. Well, you know, I thought... You thought a T-Rex was coming to get you. Outside, run! Run! Over here, quick! (growling) (roaring) Come on! Keep going! (roaring) Marion! You okay? (pterosaur screeching) It's all right. They're Skybax. They're here to help us. I am Oonu, Squadron Leader, Skybax Corps. I think you just saved our lives. Yes, this time you were lucky. I am going to recommend this bus service be suspended until further notice. We cannot guarantee the safety of the passengers. And y

ou, stop. No one but a rider ever approaches a Skybax. These are not tame birds. I will provide you with an airborne escort for the rest of your journey. What happened to everybody here? We rescued the rest of the staff earlier. We flew them out before the storms came out. But three people and their triceratops patrol are still missing. As yet, we've had no sightings. I fear they are dead. Okay, let's go. Right. Come on, follow us. (brachs grunting) (Skybax cawing) (Marion) Welcome to Waterfall

City. I've never seen anything like it. (Karl) It's a beautiful city. It's like something out of a fairy tale. (people chattering) (woman) Oh, yes! Look! Yes, they're here! The mayor of Waterfall City is coming to greet you. This is the palace. (Skybax screeching) (fanfare playing) ♪♪ (doors opening) (Karl) Who's that guy? He looks like a clown with all those robes on. Hello, Father. (man) Oh, Marion. I heard about the Tyrannosaurus attack. I've been so worried. I'm fine. There's nothing to be f

rightened of. Oh. (clears throat) Now, on behalf of the people of Dinotopia, I, Waldo Saville, the 207th mayor of Waterfall City and Speaker of the Dinotopian Senate, extend to you our warmest welcome and hospitality. (applause, scattered cheers) Welcome to Waterfall City, David Scott. (applause) And a very warm welcome to you too, Karl Scott. (applause) Well, ahem, we would like to formally accept you into the Waterfall City Academy, where you will... What? ...after training, be given the chanc

e to become full Dinotopian citizens and to find your Saurian life partner. Our dad's still out there. There's no way we can stay here. We understand that you both must be upset, but many Dinotopians have lost their friends and families in the shipwrecks that brought them here, but I'm afraid your past life is gone. (Marion) This must be a big shock to you, but when you understand the truly wonderful life we have here-- Marion, we have to get off this island. (Waldo) I'm afraid that's impossible

. Over the centuries, a few have tried, but they've all perished on the Razor Reef. How do you know no one's ever made it? Had you ever heard of Dinotopia before you arrived? No. Exactly. (people chattering) (dinosaur chirps) Wow. It's just.. It's just incredible, isn't it? You'll get used to it. I'm not so sure. I don't understand how a place this big hasn't been found before or isn't on any maps. (Marion) Is that so surprising? What do you mean? Are there no mysteries left out there where you

came from? Well, no. There's a lot of things we don't know about in our world. Well, then this is just another one. This is your library? It must be centuries old. Look at all these scrolls. I'd love to read some of them. You might find that a little bit difficult, seeing as they aren't written in English. Oh. What's he doing? Dinosaurs hate turning pages. They do their best thinking when their feet are moving. Dare tak almada. Gosh, I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, it's perfectly all right. It was co

mpletely my fault. This dinosaur can talk! Karl, come over here. This dinosaur can talk. Hello, Zippo. Dare taka almada. Dare tak almada, Marion. David and Karl Scott, right? And yes, I can speak English, and French. Bonjour, mon ami. Bonjour! (chuckles) I can understand 17 major Human and Saurian languages and imitate many natural sounds. I was top of my class So, how many dinosaurs can talk? Hmm? All of them. But very few learn to speak English properly, if that's what you mean. How exciti

ng to meet you. You know, I-- I just love mammals. I have to leave you now. I'm going to speak to the Senate. Goodbye. Well, wait a minute. Where are we supposed to go? Where are we gonna sleep? Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you'd been told. Zippo has kindly agreed to give you temporary accommodation in his house. (Zippo) Yes. Bye. Mm, this is... this is delicious. Your fork, Karl. Very kind to put us up, Zippo. Oh, no, not at all. I find you a very interesting species. I just love the way you jump a

bout, very quick reactions, and the way you eat with your little knife and fork, cutting up all the food first. I mean, it's so funny. So, do you have a human partner? I was partner to Sylvia of the Hatchery, but I've never sought another after my soulmate's death. Wow, how'd you score a babe like that? Huh? What? Babe. Very colorful language. It's a spiritual union. I don't think you quite understand yet. We are in the nuthouse. Yeah, I know, but what a place. I mean, it's just incredible. And

all that talk about partners. Doesn't that seem a little creepy? I mean, we're talking about lizards here. No. I mean, this is-- this is some kind of utopia where everyone lives in harmony. Yeah, well, there's no way I'm gonna ever be walking around with a lizard girlfriend. As for studying Saurian, whatever that is, you can forget it. Why do you always turn against everything before we've even started? What's the point when we're going home anyway? Oh? And how are we gonna do that? You really d

on't want to leave, do you? I-- I can't believe it. Think about it, Karl. Don't you see that something absolutely amazing has happened to us? No, I think watching Dad die has kind of ruined it for me. You know I didn't mean that. Um, before your grandmother Oriana died, she gave me this. She said it wasn't to be passed to you until after your 18th birthday. What is it? Mm, open it. What does it say? "Find the light." Uh-huh. (chuckles) A sunstone! This was her greatest treasure. The explorer Art

hur Denison found it and gave it to her at least 100 years ago. Ah, it's almost perfect. Apart from the prime sunstone, I've never seen its equal. Oriana knew you were special, even as a baby. (Cyrus) She's very nice to look at, isn't she? Don't let the mayor catch you staring at her like that. He'll run you out of town. She's not for the likes of us ordinary people. (Zippo) Others first, self last. (children) Others first, self last. Do one thing at a time. Do one thing at a time. Ah, ah, here

are your two new classmates, David and Karl. (children) Breathe deep, David and Karl. Seek peace. No way. I'm not staying here. This school's for little children. Then you should feel right at home. Uh, well, yes, it's a beginner's class. Forget about it, Zippo. Oh, no, well, I thought you'd be delighted. The visiting tutor in this class is your traveling companion, Marion. (Marion) Who knows where we would find all the codes of Dinotopia written down? (David) In Fountain Square. Very good, Davi

d. Ancient legend tells how it was brought up from the World Beneath tens of thousands of years ago. What's the World Beneath? It's a mythical place where dinosaurs were said to have found sanctuary at the dawn of time. Rule four. Give more, take less. Very good. You can see down near the bottom here that the very last code is missing. All that can be made out are the first three letters, F-I-N. Nobody knows what the 11th code is. Anyone like to guess what the 11th code might be? Find a way out

of here? Shh! Did you say something, Karl? Yeah, I have to go to the bathroom. Do I need a pass? No, but tonight's homework will be on the codes. Homework? Forget it. (Zippo) Karl? Shouldn't you be at school? No. I quit. Oh, dear. Perhaps there's something else you'd like to do. Nothing. Come on. There must be something you'd like to do. Careful with those. That's library property. That's not how we read scrolls. No, Zippo. It's a game. A game? Oh, can I play? Sure. Okay, we're ready. Now what d

o I do? You're at that end. Right. Now grab your bat. Uh, grab the bat. Hold it like this. Uh, like this? That's it. Mm-hmm. Okay, so you're clear about what happens when I hit the ball over the net? I hit it back. You've got no questions about the rules? Nope. Okay. (grunting) Oh. One-nothing. (Marion) I'm upset that Karl has left my class. Did I do something wrong? You're a good teacher. Thank you. You have the most amazing eyes. My vision is excellent, yes. Marion, if I-- Would you like to se

e the prime sunstone? What? Uh... sure. Yeah, I-- I'd love to. Let's go. Come on. Great. Here we go. Very good. Nice. (grunts) Oh! (people laughing) That's it? That's it. How many points did I score? None. 21-0, I win. We'll have to race. I've only got about ten minutes. I used to run up these steps as a child. There's 361. Come on, David, I'll race you. (David) Slow down, I'm dying here. You don't have stairs in your world? You all right? This is fantastic. I had no idea. (gasps) I think we're

a lot farther up than I thought. This is what powers the whole of Dinotopia. It's the most powerful sunstone ever found. It's almost flawless. What are they doing? Every evening, the prime sunstone regenerates all the other sunstones across Dinotopia. Come on. It's almost time. We can watch it from here. So where do sunstones come from? All we know is that they're very old. Legends say that they were mined from the world beneath at the beginning of time. (jazz music playing, Zippo humming along)

(thud) Hmm? What are you reading? One of our course books. (ball hitting wall) Why? What's it called? "The Care and Teaching of Humans". (scoffs) And you don't find that sick? Nope. It's a very interesting book. Another week and then I'm leaving. (chuckles) Yeah? And what's the plan? I don't need a plan to know I have to get out of here. You've got a week to decide whether you come with me or not. I mean, what are we doing here? Well, Karl, I'm trying to study for graduation. Graduation? What a

re you talking about, graduation? We don't belong here, we're not Dinotopians. You're getting brainwashed. Can't you see that? Look, I don't have time to argue with you, okay? Are you insane? There's a dinosaur sleeping in the next room. Yes, exactly. Karl, this is the chance of a lifetime. We are the first in our generation to see anything like this. They're screwing with your head, David, and you just don't get it, do you? Why are you so negative about everything? You know, this is always what

happens with you. You're stuck and for the first time in your life, no one's going to bail you out. Why don't you stop being so selfish and at least get to know this place before you condemn it? I can't believe I'm stuck here with you. Well, it wasn't me who was flying the plane. What do you mean? Do you blame me for what happened, do you?! Huh? Let go of me, let go of me! (sighs) Mammals. Oh, come in, come in. I was just closing up the shop for the night. Can I get off this island? Well... I'v

e spent the past 20 years collecting ship's logs, charts. Maps of the tides and reefs that surround this island. There's only one more thing I need to buy my own ticket out of here, but we'll never see it. It's the captain's log of the "Rebecca's Folly." Well, where's this captain's log? In the archives of the ancient library, but the only one who's got the keys is that scalie they've stuck you with. Zippo? It wouldn't be too difficult for you to get a hold of that book. You mean, steal it. I do

n't know, it doesn't seem right. I mean, the scalies are... I mean, they haven't done anything to me. This is what they did to me. I was exploring a sacred temple when one of the ugly buggers took a great big chunk out of me leg. That's what they do when they don't agree with you. Think about that. (frustrated sighing) Zippo, you look upset. What's wrong? The-- the most terrible thing has happened. A book has been... I can't bring myself to use the word. A book has been stolen. Oh, really? Well,

maybe it just got lost somewhere. Every inch of the library has been searched. I've been through antiques, antiquities a dozen times. I mean, who could do such a thing? Look, Zippo, books get stolen from libraries all the time. Not in Dinotopia, it's inconceivable to steal knowledge that should be for all. Now, this captain's journal charts the course of the two ships I told you about. A little bit of patience, I'll find the wreck of the one that didn't make it through. Yeah, but I thought we w

ere trying to find a way out. Of course we are. I just need to get something from the wreck. Wait a minute. You said a way off the island. That was the deal. If you want to come with me, be here tomorrow at midnight. But come alone. No, I can't go without my brother. Your brother? Follow me. Let me show you something, Karl. (David) That's right, America. Uh, let's see... Horrible when it happens to kin, isn't it? Seeing them sucked in. He's still my brother. I can't just leave him here. Was you

r brother. You may not be able to trust him. Not anymore. (laughing) Right. So, you looking forward to graduation tomorrow? Yeah. Sure. (Marion) The question we asked was perhaps the most important question any Dinotopian can be asked. How are we to live? David, yours was possibly the longest answer we have ever had. At 17 pages, your argument was an exhaustive one. But perhaps the finest answer we've ever had was written by Karl. Marion will now real Karl's answer aloud for the entire assembly.

"Is this the real life, or is it a fantasy? "Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see." Oh! Brilliant! (applause) That's cheating! That's the lyrics to "Bohemian Rhapsody"! Karl's answer was very inspiring, Marion. Yes, it was quite special, Zippo. Have you ever done anything in your life when you haven't cheated? Always been a sore loser, David? Hey, I worked hard to get through that exam. You're taking this Dinotopia stuff way too seriously.

What is it you've got against this place? I wouldn't know where to start. I think you're still trying to blame Dad's dying on Dinotopia. Is that it? Hey, leave Dad out of it. I'd be glad to. And let's face it, he pretty much left us out of his life. Don't talk about him like that. At least you two had something in common. He didn't have the time of day for me. I wonder why that was. Well, he dumped my mother, then he did the same to yours, but you still worship him. Don't talk like that! You kno

w what? Without Dad around, I feel free. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it? I'm almost glad he's gone. I feel like I've failed them both. I should never have made Karl go back to school. No, no, no, no. They were in my charge, Marion. It is I who have failed them. I must go and find them. What? Out there? I have no choice. My father's going to be furious. (scoffs) That could be grossly understating his reaction. Well, I suppose I should go home and get my bag. Why? Well, you don't think I'm lett

ing you go alone, do you? (birds screeching) Welcome to Waterfall City Central Post Office. Messenger bird 3-7-1 at your service. Now, I must remind you that our new rates are in effect from today. Sorry, 3-7-1. (squawks) Come on, David. Talk to me. (Zippo) David! Karl! It's Zippo and Marion! Oh, where could they be? Do you know, I-- I've never been so far from Waterfall City in my life. (bird squawking) Bravo, Marion. You brought a Postal Bird. Where on Earth-- Oh, I must remind you, there is a

surcharge for delivery of messages outside Waterfall City. How can I help? Message reads: "Are you Karl or David?" Destination of message? Follow the river as far as you can until sunset. Follow the river? I want you to fly as fast as you can and ask anyone you meet-- Go! (bird) Back in my day, people used to give you a proper message with a proper destination. (sighs) So-- so what do we do now? Wait. Wait here for a minute. I'll check it out, okay? (bird calling) Hello? Don't know where to loo

k. "Up the river" could be anywhere. What kind of a destination do they call that? It all looks the same from up here anyway. (bird chittering) (squawks) Oh, bother. (coughs) Are you Karl or David? Karl. That's me. End of message. Postage has been prepaid. Thank you. Come on, hurry! They're just up ahead this way! Karl? David? Are you there? (bird) Come on! (Marion) Karl? David? Someone's here. Karl! Over here! (Zippo) Oh, thank goodness. We're coming! Stay where you are! Oh, thank goodness. Wha

t's she doing? Well, she's... listening. Come back, David. David? Oh, what a find. What a marvelous find. This temple has been lost for centuries. Look here. Ogthar, the great king of the World Beneath. The legend says he was half man, half dinosaur. Quite remarkable. I do believe you have confirmed my research. This must lead to one of the entrances to the World Beneath, but... What, Zippo? The legend has it that all the entrances are guarded by carnivores. Oh, dear. (growling) Oh, my God. We h

ave to get out of here, and fast, come on. But David can't walk. David, we have to leave now. I'll get Zippo. I'll wait for you. No, Karl. Take David and go. Zippo, get out of there now! You really must see this. These carvings are quite unique. Zippo, we must go! Come on! (roaring) Marion! Zippo! Come on, you can make it, come on. Oh, no. Run, Marion! Marion! (Mosasaurs roaring) Come on, you can make it. Go, Marion, run! Go, go! Jump, Marion, jump! Aah! (Kyle) I'm coming, Zippo! (gasping) Help

me, Karl! (Zippo gasping) He was eating me Look, I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but I can't carry him forever. Well, I'm quite confident we are completely lost. Wait here a minute. (Zippo) Where are you going? Be careful with those branches. That moss is very slippery, you know. Marion! Oh, dear. Marion? Can you see anything? Marion! Marion, what is it? What is it? (Marion) Over here! I found them! I found them, they're over there! Can you take us to Vidabba? Our friend is hurt. We

can escort you to the ridge and you will find the road to Vidabba from there. (bell ringing) Oh! Mother! Marion. Rosemary is the matriarch of Vidabba Earth Farm. Matriarch? What's that mean? Well, in your world? Well, I suppose it means she's in charge. Hi, I'm Karl. I've heard a lot about the two of you. None of it good. Let me have a look at you. David's very sick. He's going to need a lot of rest. How have you managed to cause so much trouble in such a short time? It's a skill, honed over a

lifetime. It's time you honed some other skills. Jumper, Samantha. Come on, David. Please tend to David. He's not well. I've had postal birds from your father every day. He's furious with you for going after the boys. I'd like to know why you chose to defy him. I just did what you would do in my situation. I thought they could be in danger. Be careful with the boys. They're not like us. Ha ha! Take that! Nice tail shot, Zip. There's a lot of fetching the ball. I win. Nice try, Zippo, but you onl

y got three points. Three points? Well, I'm improving! Well, if you want to win, you're gonna have to learn how to smash. Well, I will learn how to smash. Zippo. What do you think you're doing? I was hoping to challenge Karl for a rematch. Don't you have duties back in Waterfall City? Yes, Matriarch. Yes, I must return soon. But I'm studying mammals in their natural environment for my thesis. You're writing a thesis on me? Yes. Reasoning, feeding and breeding. Enough of this. Karl, you're not on

vacation. You're expected to work with the other students during the day. Look... No disrespect, Rosemary, but I'm not a Dinotopian, and I don't want to become one, okay? Do you intend to eat our food? Well, yeah, I guess. Then you'll help us make it. Starting now. Is Goliath a real name? He was a giant, a bully. But a boy killed him with a slingshot, saved the whole town. Everybody knows the story of Karl and Goliath. It's time for you to see as the dinosaurs see. It's a gift we're all born wi

th. But as we grow older, the mammalian part of our brain clouds over the reptilian side. The world becomes much less colorful. Listen to the Earth. (pounding continues) I can't remember feeling this good, ever. This is really something, isn't it? Karl? You are of the land. You'll remain here and train in the hatchery. David. You are of the sky. Are you sure? Yes. You'll undergo Skybax training in Canyon City. Marion. I want you to go to Canyon City with David. It has the largest Pteranodon swar

ms on Dinotopia and they're becoming increasingly aggressive. I want you to... to study them. You're just giving me something to do. The lights are going out all over Dinotopia. But what does that have to do with the Pteranodons? Or with me? Lend your mind to the problem. A single raindrop raises the sea. Oh, and look after David. He's part of the solution. I have news of the utmost importance. Since I've returned, I have been working throughout the night in the library comparing ancient scrolls

and carvings. I have no doubt that I have discovered, with some help, one of the three entrances to the World Beneath. The ancient temple of Karo. (people muttering) Dangerous though it is, I believe an expedition should be made to further explore-- Almasoar... World Beneath! Almasoar rightly reminds us that we must never under any circumstances violate the sacred World Beneath. But this is a terribly important discovery, and if you would just look at my research... (dinosaurs bellowing) It is

forbidden. These places belong to the carnivores. We must respect their territories. Yes, but perhaps there are sunstones to be found in the World Beneath. By your own admission, you only just escaped with your lives. No expedition will be sanctioned under any circumstances. This session of the Senate is closed! Salkakoot! Stay left, left! Salkakoot! Salkakoot! (laughing) You're very funny, David. Marion, I don't know who your mom is trying to kid. Karl should be the one going to Canyon City, no

t me. Why do you say that? Karl would know how to ride an overlander. I think my mother knows what she's doing, David. There's more to you than meets the eye. She knew that the moment she met you. And so did I. Breathe deep. Seek peace. I'm Marion and this is David. I know. I'm Romana Denison. Welcome to Canyon City. Thanks. Marion, the City Council is waiting to welcome you. I'm gonna see you again soon, right? I'll see you very soon. Don't worry. I'll show you to your quarters. Bye. Bye. How a

bout you two? (woman) May I see your ticket? 26, 26, 26... 26. Okay, Karl. This one's yours. What do you mean, mine? You have to look after it. No, I don't understand. It's your Saurian life partner. The statues you see before you are called the Sentinels. They divide the canyon. The air above them belongs to the Skybax. The space below, to the Pteranodons. Since the two species split long ago, all attempts to communicate with the Pteranodons have failed. You cannot ride a Skybax if you have fea

r in your heart. First lesson. You never ride a Skybax. You ride with a Skybax. Observe. The morning flight where you pass within inches of the Sentinel barrier is one of the finest experiences in all of Dinotopia. It is also one of the most dangerous. You have 100 days to learn how to do that. I think I'm in the wrong place. This seems to be a course for pilots and I'm probably ground crew or something. (students snickering) Falling off here is amusing. Falling off in the canyon is not. Again,

Cadet. Again, Cadet. Again. Again. Aah! Again. When the Skybax moves, lean in with it. You will find your balance. (Pteranodons screeching) (Marion) It's so exciting. He's only an adolescent, but the rest of the flock have rejected him because he's an albino. But I think I can make contact with him. It was fantastic. So, how's your training going? Oh, it's thrilling. Yeah, I get a big thrill falling off that Skybax machine. Really? Oh, yeah. I mean, I don't think it would be more fun if they wer

e driving nails into my head. (chuckles) Well, I think you look very handsome in your uniform. What? Nothing, just... please be careful down there, okay? I don't know what I'd do here without you around. (power draining) Does the floor recognize these? (crowd muttering) (bellowing in Saurian) The sunstones are failing and your mayor stands there beneath the prow of a wrecked ship leading you into yet another disaster. That is scaremongering, and we will not tolerate it. I can announce today that

by the end of the month, there will be 12 new sunstone restorers. Now, the life of a failing sunstone can be dramatically improved with skilled attention. How many sunstones are left in the city vaults? Well, the... (clears throat) The reserves are... severely depleted. They're all gone, aren't they? (dinosaurs roaring) I petition the Senate to grant me access to documentation of the World Beneath in the ancient library of Dinotopia. We must prepare an expedition. Sit down, Mr. Crabb! In the in

terest of democracy, we must allow others to speak. Very impressive. What? Oh, it's you. Hey, Cyrus. Never had you down as a nautical man. My father used to race yachts. Really? So, what brings you here? (sighs) I've been thrown out of Waterfall City for asking the wrong questions. Listen... (knocking wood) Forget it. Try to cross that Razor Reef, it'll slice you in half. What, do you think I'm gonna spend the rest of my life here or something? Listen, listen, without a pirate chart, you're dead

. Now, the gap in the reef, with this chart, at low tide, you can sail straight through. Well, can you get it for me? (chuckles) I will for you, Karl. You can rely on me, Karl. Today is about fear. Last year, a cadet almost fell to his death on this climb, so your vigilance is vital. Follow me. Come on. (egg cracking) What? It's hatching. Samantha! It's happening! I think I see something. (squeaking) What does she want? She thinks you're her mommy. She wants you to feed her. Oh, you've gotta be

kidding. (baby whining) Oh, no... This rock is the place from which Gideon Altair formed the core and flew the very first Skybax mission. It is a tradition that every new recruit writes their name on this rock. Jump across and add your name to this illustrious list. Well done, son. That's it, well done. Come on, Cadet. Make the jump! No, no, I can't do that. Make the jump, Cadet. I can't do it. Make the jump! Come on, David! Come on! I can't! See me tonight after training. (screeching) Easy now.

(continues screeching) (screeches) No cadet has ever failed my course, and you will not be the first. (man) Captain! (bell ringing) What is it? Someone's down there! (screeching in distance) (woman) Come quickly! (Marion screaming) It's Marion! (screaming) (Pteranodon screeching) You disobeyed me. You deliberately went beyond the safety barriers. Your father gave me explicit instructions that you were not to be put in danger. My father-- Your father is mayor of Waterfall City and holds me respo

nsible for your safety. Your study of the Pteranodons is now over. You're confined to quarters until further notice. Understood? Is that understood? Sir. Have you decided on a name yet? Um... 26. That's what I'm gonna call her. Happy? That's it. That's it. Hold on. (wind whipping) Fly with it. Stay with it. That's it. That's it, David. You've got it! That was great, David. Thanks. You've done it. So? You have made great progress, but you are still bound to the Earth. You're gonna fail me? I've d

one everything you asked me to and I am just as good as any of the other cadets. What more do you want me to do? Spend a night with the Skybax. Sleep in their nests. Then I will give you a saddle. (scoffs) Is this a joke? You know I'm leaving. It was just a waste of time. He just wants me to resign from the Corps, that's all it is. David. How can I climb up to those nests? Did he say you have to climb on your own? No, but... Well, then I'll climb with you. Unless you would rather climb with one

of your fellow cadets, such as Romana Denison. Well, I like Romana very much. I thought so. But I don't want to climb with Romana. Cyrus. Don't talk to me, don't talk to me. Don't call me a friend. I won't be when I tell you the bad news. What? I can get you this pirate chart you need, but they won't part with it for nothing. You know I don't have any money. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not money, not money they need. I'll tell you what they want. That little sunstone from the hatchery roof. No,

no way. Stealing the book is one thing, but I'm not taking their sunstone. Oh, very noble, very noble choice. What's more important? Your life or one of their silly little sunstones? They've got vaults full of them in Waterfall City, I've seen them with me own eyes. (both sighing) It's pretty incredible up here, huh? Sorry, Karl. I can't have you leaving the island just yet. (screeching) (whispering) Marion. Marion. (screeching continues) It just dropped down out of the sky! Like he was in freef

all or something. It's all right. It's the albino Pteranodon. (Pteranodon chirps) He's followed us. Hold very still. He's communing with you. You must speak his name. His name? How am I supposed to know his name? Find it inside yourself. His name is Freefall. Karl. Hey. I knew you wouldn't let me down. Do you have the sunstone? You have the chart? From your tone, I'd think you didn't trust me. Sunstone. Well... I wish you all the luck Cyrus Crabb has at his disposal. Thanks, Cyrus. Chin up. I'm

sure you'll make it. Gonna miss you, Karl! You crook. You filthy, lousy cheat. I like you. Have a nice trip, sonny. (thunder rumbling) What the... (chittering) (chittering, barking) Go away! (shouts) 26! This graduation ceremony will be your first and only chance to qualify as Skybax riders. If a Skybax does not come to you when you call or if you fail to ride it, you will be dismissed from the Sky Corps. Let us begin. Cadet Romana. Good luck. (applause) Cadet David. Time to fly. You can do it,

David. Did I miss something? (laughs) I'm so glad you made it. Look, David's about to fly for the first time. (sighs) You have been rejected, Cadet. Come down. David, wait. Look. I'm proud of you. Just leave me alone, okay? You tried, you didn't quit. I wish Dad could have seen you. He didn't need to see me fail again. You didn't fail. Wait. I can do this. (Freefall screeching) Look! Did you see that? (Freefall screeching) Way to go, Davey! (Pteranodons screeching) Our squadrons can no longer pa

trol the eastern territories. (groans) The Tyrannosaurus herd is destroying everything in its path and the Pteranodons are breaching all their traditional boundaries. (people muttering) I request permission to reassign the corps to protect the refugees along the eastern approach to Waterfall City. You are not the only province to be experiencing difficulties. We must evacuate everyone in the outer settlements and bring them here to Waterfall City for protection, sir. We cannot support the whole

of Dinotopia here on this island city. We simply don't have the resources. (speaking Saurian) Last week, my new students graduated. I have been pushing them harder than ever before. I am not training them to seek peace. I am training them to fight and I fear I am training them to die. Just as we live by the codes of Dinotopia, so must we prepare to die. If you're going where I think you're going, you better turn back. You'll never find the entrance. I'm done taking advice from you. Yes, well, I

paid three expeditions to explore that swamp temple, you know what? Not one of them came back for their money. We're not afraid. Yeah, that's right. Karl! Here. I don't know if it'll work. Must be 50 years old. Keep your wits about you, Karl. There's worse than mosasaurs to worry about. Zippo found a passageway leading to a hidden chamber. Wow... (Karl) Come on, let's keep going. (rustling) Did you hear that? No. Will you stop doing that? I'm getting a bad feeling about this. No, I think David's

right. Something feels very wrong. We should leave. Wait. Oh! (gunshot) Wow... Come on, let's get out of here! What have we done? Come on, we woke them! (Pteranodon screeching) (Karl) Stop! Karl? (gasps) Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on! (Mosasaurs roaring) Oh, man, are we glad to see you. David and Karl Scott. You're under arrest. You'll be escorted by guard and face trial at Waterfall City. We must contact my father immediately. Your father issued the order, Marion. Why are we being arre

sted? You seem to have broken just about every law in Dinotopia. (Cyrus) Don't despair, lads. Could be worse. You could be dead. I hope you've got a good lawyer. Not that it'll make any difference. We have work to do, boys. A good lawyer. Remember? This court has reached a judgment. Karl and David. You will both resume your studies and you will not leave Waterfall City until you have both fully understood your transgressions. Karl, you are deemed unfit to care for an infant, and your Chasmosaur

partner will be taken to the city orphanage for adoption. No... No way. (Zippo) Karl, sit down! Don't make it any worse. We are all in accord on this matter. We would like to lodge an appeal. We will review the case in one year's time. One year? (bangs gavel) Court dismissed. I'm telling you, I'm sick of this place. And I'm not gonna let them take 26 away from me. Hey, you listening to me? The senate would have stopped me long ago if they knew of my plans, I'm sure, but lucky for them, they didn

't, because now I'm the only one who can save these damn scalies. Oh, no offense, Professor. Do you have anything we can mix this with? What is that? Articus lysius. It's a rare plant extract. (liquid pouring) Now, could you please take this and give it to the guards? It won't harm them, will it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just give them a nasty little headache when they wake up. Nothing serious, I promise. (guard gurgles) Refreshments. (speaks Saurian) I'll just leave them over here. (speaks S

aurian) Enjoy. (speaks Saurian) (door closes) I can get us to the World Beneath but we don't stand a fighting chance without a map of the caves down below. There's a map? Yes. Denison's journals were confiscated when he returned from the World Beneath and locked up in the library archives. If we can find the journal, then we have the map. And then what? Take the boat down the Polongo River. I'll take care of the rest. (snoring softly) (chuckling) Good show, boys. Good luck and Godspeed. (Zippo m

urmuring, panting) (chittering) (speaking Saurian) (speaking Saurian) Hey, guys... I think this is it. Huh? "The Journal of Arthur Denison, "Victorian Engineer and Explorer. Volume II: The World Beneath." (sniffing) This way, this way! Do you still have the scent, Almasoar? (bellows) Oh, we'll get them for good this time. Somebody's coming. Guards, seize them at once! Marion! Marion! (Karl) Whoa! This way! Follow me! (Zippo) Wait for me! This way, hurry. You go that way, you with me! (Zippo) Wai

t... Oh! Where's the boat? It's over there. Zippo, you go and get the boat. Yes-- What, me?! Go on, go, now! Ohh! (dinosaur snorts) (Zippo) Quickly, quickly. Get in. Come on, Marion. That's it. Quick, quick, quick! (dinosaurs grunting) Well, Cyrus really came through for us this time. Well, don't thank him yet. (Zippo) Yes, well, personally, I'm not quite sure about him yet. (dinosaurs grunting, people chattering) (Zippo) We're heading for the cargo chute. But it's not designed for Saurians. Or

Humans, for that matter. (Karl) What do you mean, Zippo? Oh, oh, dear. Stop. We... Oh... Chuck out the anchor! Do something! Oh, my God! Oh! I'm not a sailor! (all shouting) (David) Is it over? (Zippo) Oh, I think that's it now. (Marion) Oh, I think we're all right. (all shouting) (dinosaur hooting in distance) (Karl) Does anyone know where we're going? Uh, no. Guess we're just gonna have to go where the current takes us. How very Dinotopian, David. (Pteranodon cawing) Did Crabb say exactly wher

e he'd meet us? He seemed to think we'd be able to find him. Up ahead, look! Could that be it? (howling in distance) Oh, dear. We could still turn back, you know. (Marion) Isn't that Cyrus' calling card? (hinges squeaking) (metal creaking) (Cyrus) Welcome aboard! (Zippo whimpers) (chuckles) Good to see you again. Ohh! I trust you all had a pleasant, uneventful trip. Well, now it's time to show you my pride and joy. Through here. No one knows it survived. Denison's submersible. There is no way I'

m going down there in that. Oh, it doesn't look in too bad a shape. No. Careful, Karl! Oh, dear. Maybe not. Well, there you go, you can be our chief mechanic. And you can be our... navigator. Thanks. Yes. And what about me? What can I do? Professor. (chuckles) I haven't forgot you. Those keen eyes of yours, sharper than a human's eh? Well, that's very true. Thank you. Would you be so kind as to keep lookout for us? Hmm, what? Out there? Yes, out there. Go on, run along. Well, the engine's okay.

I replaced the pistons, but I can't figure out what power's this thing. I'll give you a clue. Sunstones. Oh, that's why you've been stealing the sunstones. I tried every sunstone I can find, but none of them seem to fit. And then I was looking at pretty young Marion here, and suddenly it hit me. This sunstone was given to me by my grandmother. It was given to your grandmother Oriana by the explorer Arthur Denison, wasn't it? On the note... Find the light! Would you mind terribly, my dear, if we

borrowed it? This is the most valuable thing I possess. This is a dear cost. Try the propeller now. (machinery whirring) (hatch closes) (Pteranodons cawing) (people clamoring) (Skybax shrieks) Lord Mayor. You report, Cadet? The most recent sighting report indicates an excess of 100,000 Pteranodons. 100,000? Of the three squadrons assigned missions today, only ours has returned. Well, what news of Volcaneum? Volcaneum is gone, sir. There's no one left alive. (thud) Whoa. What was that? The sea be

d, boys. We're making progress. (power humming) (David) That's our plane. Prepare yourselves for an ugly sight, boys. There won't be much left of him by now. The fish will have had his eyes-- If you don't shut up, I'm gonna hit you. I've seen a few drowners in my time, that's all I'm saying, no offense to the dead. (Karl) It's empty. (David) What? (people shouting, dinosaurs bellowing) (sunstone pulsing) The sunstone I gave you was small, but it was an almost perfect gem. Show it to the city. It

will bring hope. And then we can take it to the sunstone tower, and perhaps it will bring back the light... for one night, at least. I don't have it anymore. I gave it to David and Karl to power the submarine. You gave those two the most flawless sunstone ever found? I thought it was the Dinotopian thing to do. I only hope it was worth all our lives, Marion. (creature growling) (water cascading) (Cyrus grunting) Ohh! (grunts) Fresh air, finally. Come on, boys, no time to waste. Welcome to the s

outh entrance of the World Beneath. (chuckles) Ahh. (Pteranodons cawing) This is where the monument in Fountain Square came from. So that must be the missing code. The first three letters were F-I-N. Well, that's a D. F-I-N-D. Find the light! (Zippo) It's the end, isn't it? (Marion) I believe it is. I've always said that I would never seek another partner after the death of my beloved, but... if I ever was, it could only be you. I am and always will be your truest friend. Breathe deep, Zippo. Se

ek peace, Marion. (David) The guy's nuts. We should be following the journal. I knew we shouldn't have made a left. (Karl and David speaking indistinctly) (chuckling) I think we're lost. Great. No need for that. Come on, look what I've found. (grunting) (Cyrus) Come on. (grunting) This is it. (laughing) This is everything. It's unreal, isn't it? Come on, boys. Let's get all these loaded. Time's running out for our friends upstairs. (Pteranodons screeching) (people shouting) (dinosaurs cawing) (m

an shouts) (woman) Come on, keep up! (man) Through here! (people screaming) Unh. Careful. Well, that should do it, boys. You know, I don't think we can take all these, Cyrus. We're too heavy. He's right. It's too dangerous. You're gonna have to make a second trip. I don't think she has a second trip in her. Something will have to go. What do you mean? Well, let me put it this way. I don't want to risk losing our precious cargo, so something will have to go. And I don't think it'll be the sunston

es. (chuckles) You can't be serious. I'd like to thank you gentlemen for all your hard work, but if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking my leave. Cyrus, you're not leaving us down here-- Oof! Oh, what are you gonna do? Eh?! Hit a poor cripple? Oh, ho ho! Oh, a little boxing match, eh? Well, I don't think so. 'Cause I'm a street fighter and I always was! Unh! Enough. Dad? Dad! (gun cocks) Well, well, well. All this time alone in a cave and still alive, eh? Well, it's time to say goodbye. You're not

going anywhere. Oh? Aah! Ow Karl! See how you like having a limp! Don't be crazy. Just let him go. Good idea. (Cyrus chuckles) Cheerio. (whistling) (chuckling) Bye. (ballast blowing) That's the one. (propeller sputtering) Come on! (machinery whirring down) Come on, up. I know it's only a flesh wound, but it's gonna hurt, okay. Come on, lean on me. Oh! Damn it. I just don't seem to have the strength I used to have. Are you all right? Yeah, I'm okay. Now, all we have to do is get out of here. Yeah

, but how are we gonna do that? Cyrus just took the only way out. He's not going very far. Not without any gas. Karl! Come on, fit. Ahh! (bullet ricocheting) (growling) Fit. (creature growling) (Cyrus) No. (bellowing) No... Not like this. (Cyrus whimpering) (Cyrus screams) That's it, then. No more Cyrus. And no more boat. Come on! Get in, get in, get in, get in, get in, get in! Come on, come on, come on! Oliver! (Pteranodon screeching) (Oliver screaming) Denison and Lee Crabb left the same way t

hey came. In the submarine. There's nothing in the journal about any other way out. That doesn't mean there isn't one. Dad, how much of this place have you seen? How much have I seen? I don't know, I've walked maybe 200, 300 miles in these caves. Dad, Is there any other way out of this place? (water bubbling) (Frank) This is it. Wait a minute. This is the flare I dropped into the well, remember? Right, so... The temple in the swamp. This must be the other end. We can get out. You go ahead. Bring

back help. What are you talking about? There is no other way of getting back. This is our last chance. There's no way that I'm gonna go underwater again, okay? I can't do it. Dad, look at me, look at me. You spent all that time alone in the dark, thinking you'd never see or hear another human being again. That would break most men. Not you. Here. This will light the way. Okay. (all inhale deeply) (all gasping for air) (Pteranodons screeching) (people screaming) (roaring) Oh, and, Dad? Don't put

your foot in the water. Why not? You don't want to know. (animal cawing) (screeching) (Frank) What is that? (David) It's all right, Dad. It's Freefall. It's what? Stay here. (Freefall screeching) (people screaming) (Pteranodons screeching) (Pteranodons screaming) (people screaming) David! (David) Nooo! (whimpering) (panting) (Almasoar roaring) (Pteranodon screams) (screeching and roaring) (Pteranodon screeching) Unh! (roaring and screeching) (screaming) Marion, please wake up! Oh! (Pteranodons

wailing) (bellowing) Ohh. (dinosaurs bellowing) (Mayor Waldo) In recognition of the remarkable courage you have demonstrated in our darkest hour, we present you with this symbol of our gratitude and request that you and your steed, Freefall, join the Skybax Squadron. (dinosaurs bellowing, humans cheering) Well done, David! Dave! Dave! Thank you. I'd like permission to join the search for my father and brother. Of course. The Skybax patrols and all the Earth Farm riders are out searching for them

now, but preliminary reports showed no signs of anyone at the temple, David. That's impossible. I assure you, I will expend every effort to find your brother and father. (bell ringing) I will not rest until they are safe! (people murmuring) (bellowing) Who is that? (cooing) 26, did you miss me? Marion, I'd like you to meet my father, Frank Scott. Very nice to meet you. It's very nice to meet you too, Marion. You'll have to forgive me. I'm a little overwhelmed by everything that's been happening

to me. You must be Frank Scott. I've heard so much about you. Is he safe? It's okay, Dad. He's not gonna bite you. I'm sorry. My name is Zippo Stenosaurus. It's an absolute pleasure to meet you, sir. Oh, it's very nice to meet you too, Mr. Stenosaurus. Oh, Zippo, please. You have no idea what pleasure it gives me to meet the father of these two fine young men. I always believed in these boys, didn't I, Rosemary? Yes, you definitely did, dear. Dad. (cooing) (all gasping) (Karl) David, you were r

ight. The gateway to the World Beneath is open again. (cheers and applause) We found the light! (Zippo) Bravo, Karl! Well done! (cheering continues)
