Story

Nobita accidentally found a fossil dinosaur egg mixed with rocks in the dinosaur fossil exhibition site that he had visited before. He returned it to its original state with the “Time Turban”. After hatching, the egg hatches a new species of dinosaur that is not named in the Cosmic Encyclopedia and names them Kyū and Myū. Although they want to take care of them secretly, there are dinosaurs in the city still discovered by residents; Nobita and his friends were forced to bring them back to the Cretaceous period 66 million years ago – in their time. Along the way, there is a group of mysterious foes who hope to steal Kyu and Myu from Nobita.
