Didja Know?

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is a CG-animated TV series that aired on the Netflix streaming service from 2020-2022 for five seasons and one special. While the first couple of episodes take place before and during the events of Jurassic World, the rest of them take place shortly after that film, and about three years before the events of Fallen Kingdom. Netflix is currently producing episodes of a sequel series, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, whose first season began in May 2024.

   Each episode of the series opens with the words "A Netflix Original Series" over what appears to be a T. rex footprint in the jungle mud. 

    The Universal Pictures logo that appears after this is altered from the usual to have the Earth globe with a continent that looks very roughly like the supercontinent Pangaea may have looked in the Triassic-Jurassic periods of the Mesozoic era, 200-150 million years ago.

    As the Universal Earth globe spins, a second "continent" seen is actually a stylized DreamWorks Pictures logo (a boy sitting with a fishing pole on the crescent Moon), followed by the Amblin Entertainment logo.

The dinosaur that bursts out of the Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous gates at the beginning of the opening titles of each episode is a Tyrannosaurus rex, possibly the infamous Rexy herself, but we don't see its right side close enough to see if it has Rexy's raptor scars incurred in Jurassic Park.

Didja Notice? 

When Kash catches Darius outside the compound, he asks suspiciously, "BT-dubs, what are you doing out here?" "BT-dubs" (BTW) is an informal, spoken, and written slang term for "by the way".

The kids point out to Brooklynn that they've seen her videos and know she's got skills, like when she unboxed Silicon Valley to investigate AI, Cape Canaveral to build and code her own rocket, and Detroit to design and build her own electric car. Silicon Valley is a technology hub in Northern California. AI stands for "artificial intelligence". Cape Canaveral has been a NASA space launch facility since 1950, located on the eastern coast of the Florida peninsula. Detroit, Michigan is a hub of the American automobile industry (though the industry has declined there in the late 20th and early 21st Centuries).

Kash refers to the Mantah Corp Spinosaurus as "he". In the novelization, he says "she".

As Brooklynn tries to hack a BRAD-X, she confesses to Sammy, "TBH, I've actually never done anything like this before." TBH is an abbreviation for "to be honest".

Notice in the scene from 11:35-12:42 in the episode, Kash keeps hitting golf balls off a tee in the compound...but he never places a new ball on the tee between strokes!

When Kash finds the control chip is not working on the Spinosaurus, he checks on "the other two test subjects" and finds their chips are not working either. As stated in the novelization, the other two subjects are Big Eatie and Pierce, as seen in recent episodes.
