***Dinotopia: The Mysterious Island*** is a 2006 American direct-to-video animated film based on the books by James Gurney. It is the first animated direct-to-video film from *Dinotopia: The Animated Series*. This movie takes place during a few episodes of *Dinotopia: The Animated Series*.

## Plot

Just after the movie starts, Kex Bradley jumped over a log when he was practicing for some exercise, so he starts to run Just as he thought he could, he tripped and fell into the pond, where he was now soaking wet. Shanise and Mara saw everything, and they laughed, a little.

After Kex got dried, he went to the kitchen to wait for John to cook him something. But John was out for today, and 26 had to be in charge while he's away. For her, it was easy taking care of the baby hatchlings. But for Kex, he was jumping up and down disturbing the hatchlings' naps. That causes the hatchlings to wail. Just as she thought it was annoying, Mara calmed the hatchlings down by singing a song "Quiet, My Little Dinos", which the hatchlings were quiet.

While everyone was asleep, a strange light was showing when Kex woke up. He quietly got out of his bed, and sneaked outside. The light was of course a shooting star, an object that Kex had never seen before. John had followed Kex and send him back to bed. Kex was hoping that he might follow the star.

Next morning
