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?
Daniel tells Kash the latter is lucky to be alive which is more
than he deserves after betraying him in the swamp. This refers
to Kash ordering the BRAD-Xs to turn against Daniel in
"Reunited".
At 17:04 in the episode, while controlling the
Spinosaurus with a video game controller, Cyrus
shouts "Finish him!" as he tries to get the beast kill Ben. This
may be a reference to the "Finish him!" quote spoken by the
announcer numerous times in the video game series Mortal
Kombat, urging the player to kill their defeated opponent.
After Darius frees Big Eatie from the control chip, she seems to
consider eating him briefly, but turns away and goes after Mr.
Gold with the controller instead, stepping on and squashing him.
Possibly, she has some recall of Darius helping her several
times on the island and has a moment of what passes for sympathy
for him in a T. rex.
Lana is revealed to be representing BioSyn. This was the
original rival corporation to InGen in
Jurassic Park. Daniel makes arrangements to meet
further BioSyn representatives on Isla Nublar, the site of the
former Jurassic World and Jurassic Park.
