synopsis
In this whimsical adventure for the family, Stanley Katz (Judd Trichter) is a boy who is spelunking with his friends when a sudden rockslide reveals an unusual egg. Stanley and his colleagues bring the egg back with them, keeping it warm. They're surprised when it hatches, and even more surprised when a dragon pops out. While Stanley loves the dragon and wants to watch over it himself, the powers that be want to take the dragon away and put it in a zoo -- which Stanley believes would be certain death for his new friend.
