Crayon Shin-chan the Movie: Our Dinosaur Diary

Crayon Shin-chan the Movie: Our Dinosaur Diary tells the delightful tale of how the extraordinary friendship between Nobara's pet dog Shiro and a diminutive, mischievous "small dinosaur" profoundly influences the life of the spirited and energetic Shin-chan, a kind-hearted boy known for his unpredictable adventures with his best friends and the Kusakabe Defense Squad. The film is set in the vibrant town of Kasukabe, where Shin-chan and his friends relentlessly defend the community from fictional and real threats, using innovative yet ridiculous fighting techniques. However, this time, their lives are altered as a young and enthusiastic palaeontologist, Ms. Tsuruha, visits the town to give a talk about dinosaurs. Her talk not only awakens the curiosity of Shin-chan but also triggers the emergence of a 'small dinosaur', a magical, mythical creature that is essentially a pet-like dinosaur resembling a Stegosaurus. The small dinosaur quickly becomes enamored with Nobara, a talented pet breeder, and her canine companion, Shiro. As time passes, the friendship between Shiro and the dinosaur blossoms, allowing Nobara to create a specialized nursery for the dinosaur. Her hand at caring for the dinosaur soon develops into a meaningful learning opportunity. The heartwarming journey observes the dinosaur being named 'Suratt,' after Stuart and Walter, the English paleontologists who were the first to present the Iguanodon to the public. Suratt and Shiro become inseparable, making Nobara's family home the hub for both animals' lives and adventures. Shin-chan, always eager to indulge in thrilling escapades, recognizes the incredible influence these two characters have on each other and the people around them. The unwavering bond between Shiro and Suratt gives Shin-chan and the Kusakabe Defense Squad new ideas and motivation, representing the perfect ingredients for their extraordinary escapades. Shin-chan uses this newfound inspiration to come up with dazzling plans and fresh ideas to help the members of the Kusakabe Defense Squad to improve their fighting skills. Much like their bond with Nene, the secret headquarters, Furajio, could serve as a catalyst to solidify the Kusakabe Defense Squad members in perfecting their respective battle duties. Meanwhile, tensions escalate in the town when a severe hailstorm traps key dinosaurs from a show to an industrial 'Dinosaur Science Centre.' Consequently, panic stips through Kasukabe when citizens find that dinosaurs and other creatures, known for causing chaos, are 'breaking out of their enclosure,' threatening major devastation. However, with the courage of the Kusakabe Defense Squad and Nobara's caring heart, teamwork kicks in to ensure harmony as the legendary 'Kasukabe Courageous Bravery and Joy. Throughout the journey, the town is visited by an attractive woman and scientist, Miki Fuku, whose heart only makes sense to care for Suratt and whose scientific skills can benefit both this little creature and the environment in Kasukabe. Her love interest to Aisho is portrayed positively, and perhaps that kind of understanding represents their growth towards their goal - understanding love and relationships as adults. The adventure features music, some popular and clever and cute humorous visual adaptations of the Dinosaur's encounters with Shinnosuke and his troupe. Enjoyable when engaging on their quest in this animated animated tale. At its core, Crayon Shinchan the Movie Our Dinosaur Diary showcases memorable escapades where growth is rooted in personal friendships.
