Confined to his room by a disappointed rather than angry mother, the little boy escapes from the window and goes to Max's house.

When the egg-machine opens, the three kids discover that they have landed in the nest of a T-rex who, seeing the three babies come out of the egg, mistakes them for her babies.

The T-rex fights with the courage and strength that only mothers who see their puppies in danger can have. Suggestive and exciting, the animated film touches points of great intensity. Meanwhile, Dino's mother and dr. Santiago when the fight is over and the bad guys defeated. There is a face to face between the two mothers who exchange a silent look full of maternal love. Tyra realizes that those are not her puppies and with resignation she entrusts them to the human, but here is the twist. Happy ending and good feelings always triumph.

The plot, despite being an animated film designed for children, is well structured. The rhythm of the narration is sustained for the entire duration of the film, assisted by the surprising shots that simulate the camera, as in the scene in which Dino finds the power key and, hiding it in his trouser pocket, turns to the audience, seeking their complicity, looking straight into the camera.
