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
Akira Gonda, engineer pilot.
REIKA
Reika Maki, a physician and botanist.
And behold Masao Masaki, the mascot.
with his inseparable dog Don.
MASAO AND DON
JORGE
Jorge Kitayama, the head of the department.
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.
Ok!
Here it is!
Damn it, if only the engine worked!
The anesthetic!
Gon, after that dinosaur.
I can try, but it will be hard.
Let's try anyway, it's too important.
- It all seems like a dream. - A nightmare!
Even the vehicle refuses to continue in this hell.
and yet we go forward.
This is horrible!
The computer ensured us that the brontosaurus was absolutely harmless.
I really hope it's right.
Look at this! Small footprints.
It could be a baby.
She was trying to protect her son.
Even a herbivore can become ferocious
When they're deprived of food, they must their own.
Look at this!
A cliff in the jungle.
Stop!
There isn't a brontosaurus here.
Look at this! He climbed the cliff!
Yes, and it climbed at an angle.
Wow it's a agile beast.
We just have to do it too.
- What? - Get over it.
Climb this cliff?
I fear that it's impossible. The Born Free may topple over.
We have to try anyway.
Even at the risk of crashing?
It could die!
I don't think I can do it.
Then stay here.
Impossible, I can't leave them.
Help!
Disconnect the second compartment of the Born Free!
Come on!
Masao, hook the steel cable.
Cable hooked.
Masao, launch hook!
Hook, shot!
Hooray, we did it!
Yay, here we go!
Gon, we're ready.
Good, begin to retrieve the cable. Were moving immediately.
Let's go hunting.
Hey, look! There's a large lake at the bottom.
The brontosaurus prefer to live in the water.
They hide in the lake.
Really?
What do we do if it comes out?
A member of the Born Free should not be afraid.
I have absolutely no fear. Though I feel a little uncomfortable.
You'll like it once you get used I assure you.
Is useless to make fun of me.
I not even afraid of lions, or tigers.
But snakes and lizards make me sick.
I don't like any kind of animal.
I like them all!
I hope that this dinosaur is harmless, though I'm still scared.
Look at that! Here comes the airship transport.
We need to track the dinosaurs.
Gon, go to the western side of the lake.
I shall examine the east.
All right!
In the meantime Jorge, you will examine the plants around here. Got it?
Ok, but keep someone to keep you company.
I'll keep her company.
Also, keep Don for protection.
Okay, but be careful.
Alright.
Let's be very careful.
Don, where you going? Don!
Hey Don, take it easy Can't you see it's only a baby?
Hello! You sure are beautiful. Be a good boy and take my hand.
Hey, where are you going? Wait! Stop!
Wait!
Let go of him now.
No, help! What's happening?
Help, Jorge!
I can't reach the microphone on my helmet!
Help!
Don, go and get help!
Hurry, help me!
Don! What's wrong? Don, it's me, Reika.
Masao is in danger! Let's hurry!
Help! Reika, Help!
It's a carnivorous plant! (Venus Flytrap)
Jorge, Masao has been captured by a carnivorous plant!
A carnivorous plant? Ok, I'm coming now!
There's no time to lose.
We must save Masao and resume the search.
Save me, Reika! Help!
We must strike at the roots!
Jorge, Masao is over there!
I'm here Masao, I'm here.
Help!
