The surface of this lost world is in danger of invasion by the high flying pterosaurs should their supply of light stones run out. They manage to save the day by retrieving stones from a forbidden underground zone, where half human - half reptile statues (representing former races) and watery beasts guard a cache of them. This is a great 'warm and fuzzy' movie for young children.
