One hundred million years ago, the baby dinosaur Dooly was trapped in a glacier. Carried south on a drifting chunk of ice, he eventually reaches the Han River and ends up living with Go Gil-dong in Ssangmun-dong. He is soon joined by Ddochi, an ostrich who escaped from a circus; Douner, an alien from the planet Kkanttappiya; and Michael, who dreams of becoming a superstar. When Dooly and his friends try to leave aboard Douner’s time-travel machine, the “Time Cosmos,” Hee-dong, Michael, and Gil-dong are swept along, sending them all into an extraordinary adventure in outer space.
Dooly has crossed an immense span of time; Ddochi has escaped life as a human spectacle; Douner comes from beyond Earth; and Michael stands outside the social mainstream. Brought together by their differences, these characters cross boundaries of species, time, and place, turning what sets them apart into the basis for new relationships and adventures. For longtime audiences, the film offers a chance to revisit Dooly from a new perspective; for first-time viewers, it opens a world of imagination that reaches across generations.
