The only other rumored source of the glowing rocks lies within the вЂњWorld Beneath,вЂќ but the antiquated laws of the land prohibit anyone from going there, leaving Mayor Waldo with no choice but to accept possible human extinction.

Even more important, the stones act like huge citronella candles, repelling dangerous carnivorous dinosaurs from populated areas. Dinotopia relies on mysterious вЂњsun stonesвЂќ to fuel its energy needs. The first newcomers in fifty years, they are welcomed by Marion (Katie Carr), the young daughter of the landвЂ™s most notable politician, Mayor Waldo.Д«ut not all is well in the once tranquil land.
