Story
Nobita, who visited the dinosaur exhibition with Suneo and his friends, finds fossils of dinosaur eggs in a fossil excavation experience. The twins of the feathered dinosaur were born with "time wrapping cloth" and covered. This is a new species (new dinosaur) not listed in the "Complete Encyclopedia of Space". Nobita named the dual dinosaurs Q and Mu, sometimes on the advice of Dr. Dinosaur, who grew up with Doraman in Novicharasland ("Diorama set for breeding"). The two fast-growing animals gradually showed a difference, and the mark flew ugly against the slightly sliding muzzle so they could not fly. Finally, the day of our opening will come before the giants. However, by using the "spatial movement crayon" to hide from the uncle who noticed the chaos, the townspeople saw it, and in modern times Q and Mu reached the limit of growth. Nobida once had trouble getting back to her friends, but when she decided, the next morning, the five of them climbed into the "time machine".
In "Time Furoshiki" Dorman's party goes back to the late Cretaceous, calculated from the time of the return of the fossil egg. Wrongly Jurassic was able to come to terms with the purpose of that era when a problem arose, "the egg journey to discover the rank and file of fellow humans while using the secret tool". When contacted by a mysterious woman named Natalie, a man named Jill, who is in the form of a white monkey, secretly monitors the situation. Unaware that they are being monitored, the group searches for Q and Mu's comrades, and finally reaches the sea when dinosaurs like Cole and Top join "Tomoko" during the voyage. Although he acts in two parts, Qian and Sune are captured by Jill, and Doraman and others are in danger of being attacked by a large winged dragon. Nobida and Q fall into the sea, but with the help of the mysterious Budapusu Kriu, they come to a mysterious island and reunite with Doraman, Shizuka and Mu. This is an island inhabited by new dinosaurs that a group of friends of Q and Mu were looking for. Nobida tries to get the two back to her comrade, but is sharply scratched by a group of Q men and refuses to join. Is it because, unlike other new dinosaurs, the goal cannot fly and its physique is low? Trembling with grief and sorrow, Nobida declares that she can fly wonderfully by herself.
Meanwhile, Jill Natalie, who was on her way to the island on a submarine, said a deep impact was immediate. Qian and Sune, who are watching the escape from the cage, look at the map and see the truth of the mysterious island. At the time, Nobida and Q, who had just started flying training, had a misunderstanding and the training was disrupted. Nobida looked down, silently encouraged, and when he searched for a note with the "question stick" there was a figure of a mark who was constantly practicing alone. He started training to touch Nobida because he was able to do the reverse climb. At that moment, a huge object shining in the sky flows.
Qian and Sune also ran further in, when they were all together, Doraemon tells us that this time there was a dinosaur that was extinct when the meteorite struck Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula 66 million years ago. Nobida tries to use an "opposite direction" to turn the meteorite into space, but "Time Marine" appears there and Natalie stops the party's activities. Jill reveals that they were looking at this era as a one-time patrol, and insists that history cannot be changed even if he thinks about dinosaurs and is close to Nobida's heart. Nonetheless, Nobida, who tried to force Q and Mu to help, was detained by members, and Doraman and others who tried to protect him were also to be taken away. However, when Jill holds a "check card" on Nobida and Cole, the card emits light. Jill and his time patrol decide not to interfere in their activities.
Doraman is not in control of the time patrol, but fights to help Q and Mu and the other dinosaurs. However, information provided by Qian and Sune revealed that the island of New Dinosaurs abandoned during the Jurassic period was a novicesarland ("breeding diorama collection"). Move the dinosaurs to Novicesarland with the "Space Movement Crayon" and launch a rescue operation to protect them from the hot air of the meteorite collision with Diorama's "weather control function". As the time for warm air approaches, a giant winged dragon strikes Nobita and Doraman and prepares to stay on the island. Finally a mark that flew in the sky to help Nobita fly in the sky. The worst movement to show when the goal is about to fly is the flap sign. From skating to flap, from dinosaurs to birds. Jill and his colleagues marvel at the birth of history as the first step to evolution. The dinosaurs were rescued and settled on the island, and Nobida and his friends said goodbye to Q and Mu. Jill exaggerates the caring heart like the dinosaur that formed the wings and the man who created so many emotions in the appearance of such a party. After returning to the current era, Nobida challenged herself to a reversal that she could not do, and eventually won.
