Ogawa Chiiko (Chitchi to her friends) is a vertically-challenged high school student. She's only 132 cm tall (4' 4"), and she's frequently teased by her classmates, except for her loyal friend Tonko. Chitchi's problems are compounded when she falls hopelessly in love with one of the most popular boys in her school, the 6-foot-tall Murakami Satoshi (Sally to his friends). Chitchi succeeds in becoming Sally's friend - he thinks of her as a kind of mascot - but she aspires to be something more. She follows him to his clubs, arranges similar vacations, and pursues her quest from the opening of school in the spring to spring of the following year. She experiences the joys and agonies of first love, while all too keenly aware that she is stuck, despite Tonko's encouragement and help, in Sally's "friend zone."

Cinematography
Enter the tale of the Crusher Council, a group of rugged individuals known for assignments ranging from transportation to terraforming and everything in between. In the early days of space exploration the Crushers took on the job of destroying asteroids and defining space lanes. Because of their work, they were nicknamed "Crushers" which eventually became their business moniker. Despite the rough and ready nature of the Crushers' work, they subscribe to a few steadfast rules. Unethical and illegal assignments are taboo, and any Crusher accepting one is barred from the Union. Of course, this presents problems for shady clients who try to trick the Crushers into accepting misleading assignments. They know that once the Union accepts a case the Crushers are honor-bound to follow it through. Among the various worlds, the Crusher Council has a stunning reputation, and among the Crushers, the most elite team is the one led by Crusher Dan and his successor, Crusher Joe.

“¡Ojalá encontrara un fósil de dinosaurio!”, piensa el soñador Nobita. El resto de la pandilla se lo toma a broma, pero Nobita pone todo su empeño en esta nueva misión para cerrar la boca a sus amigos. Lo más sorprendente es que, en su primera excavación, da con un huevo que bien podría ser de un animal prehistórico. Ayudado por Doraemon, Nobita consigue que del huevo nazca un ejemplar de futabasauro, una especie autóctona de Japón, al que bautizan como Pisuke. De la noche a la mañana, Pisuke atrae la atención del barrio y de los medios de comunicación, de modo que Doraemon y Nobita deciden que lo más sensato es devolverlo a su hábitat prehistórico mediante la siempre útil máquina del tiempo. Pero no todo resulta tan sencillo como habían planeado. La irrupción de unos cazadores de dinosaurios sin escrúpulos complica el plan.
