Return of the Dinosaurs (恐竜探険隊ボーンフリー)

BIRTH OF THE BORN FREE

In 1996 a huge mysterious comet called Herbie suddenly appeared

and headed towards Earth.

It's presence caused a number of exceptional phenomena.

Volcanoes dormant for centuries erupted rivers of lava.

And the gravity of the comet caused tremendous tidal waves.

And then it happened an incredible phenomenon

because of the movements of the earth's crust.

The ground was turned upside down

and then they appeared, the animals and plants of the 'Mesozoic era.

Fortunately, the comet didn't collide with the Earth.

But the strange phenomena continued.

They appeared now on Earth from millions of years ago,

and the dinosaurs have found themselves a new habitat in the forest.

In some areas, due to the rapid change of temperature

the plants have dried up, and the dinosaurs starved to death.

The International Organization for the Conservation of Nature

was founded to save the dinosaurs.

This task was entrusted to the Japanese representative,

DOCTOR MASAKI

The biologist Masaki

Organized a special department that was named "Born Free" ...

Born Free was given the task studying the living conditions of the dinosaurs,

and protecting them.

Emergency! Emergency!

Everyone get ready for immediate action!

CHAKO

Isako Chako, in charge of communications.

GON

And behold Masao Masaki, the mascot.

with his inseparable dog Don.

MASAO AND DON

JORGE

The Born Free is ready to move.

Alright.

Hey, Gara, are you still sleepy?

I never sleep!

GARA

Kayama Saburo, nicknamed Gara, in charge of the radio and supplies.

- Are you okay? - The radio works.

Good!

- All present! - Everyone, ready!

Preparing for takeoff.

Good luck, guys. See you soon!

Thank you very much, sir. Forward!

Docking with aircraft complete!

Opening the doors!

Activating the rockets.

Horizontal flight.

Balloon transport, ready to take off!

Ready!

Take off!

Headquarters speaking.

A dinosaur has appeared in the heart of the Amazon.

An aircraft of the armed forces confirmed it.

It is believed to be a brontosaurus.

You'll see an image of of the brontosaurus,

and I will give some data.

The brontosaurus is one of the largest dinosaurs on Earth.

It's about 30 meters in height, and weighs about 30 tons.

Harmless herbivore.

Lives mainly in water, or in it's close proximity.

30 tonnes!

Don't worry, it's harmless.

It makes me very uncomfortable.

I wonder how many steaks could be made out it.

What did you say?

We're in this area.

Ready for deployment!

Preforming Separation.

Completed!

We're leaving. Goodbye!

Good luck!

A strange vegetation is not it?

Ferns, cycads and ginkgo, this is very interesting.

Did you know that all these plants are from the Mesozoic era?

Mesozoic?

- Approximately a hundred million years old. - One hundred million?

We just had to land in a place like this!

The movements of the earth's crust raised this ground.

- Wow! - It's amazing!

Look at this! The plants are drying up.

The current climate is not suitable for them.

Nor is it good for the dinosaurs.

They will die if we do not find a better place for them.

This needs to be done now!

Let's move immediately! Everyone do your part!

This rifle is loaded with anesthetic rounds

that are powerful enough to make any dinosaur sleep.

Wonderful!

Hey, Don, where are you going?

Get back here! Come on, Don!

Brontosaurus

A dinosaur!

Help!

Retreat to the vehicle, now!

Curses, it doesn't work!

- Where is the anesthetic located? - In the second drawer.

Masao, go get it.
