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? 

Darius tells Kenji that his hero is Dr. Alan Grant. Kenji says his own favorite action hero is either Dante Mathews or Oliver Graham from the Esther Stone, High School P.I. spin-off. This is a fictitious TV series first mentioned in "The Watering Hole".

We catch the tail end of a conversation where Kash tells the boss, "We just get rid of the Kentro. It's injured and it broke off a tail spike, so it's not even that cool anymore." He's referring to the Kentrosaurus called Pierce, who broke a tail spike in a fight Kash manipulated between Pierce and the T. rex Big Eatie.

At the end of the episode (which was the Season Four finale), it is revealed that the president of Mantah Corp is Kenji's father, Daniel Kon.

Notes from the junior novelization Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous - The Deluxe Junior Novelization Volume Four by Steve Behling Cover illustration by Patrick Spaziante 2022 Chapter Ten covers the events of this episode.

In the novelization, the girls' snow glider slides into a snow bank and gets stuck when the girls fight over the controls. In the televised episode, the glider slides onto thin ice which then cracks and breaks, with the girls barely leaping out to safety before the vehicle sinks into the water.

The televised scene of the girls realizing that the Spino-Sinos are "little heat boxes" is missing from the novelization.

In the novelization, Darius and Kenji simply duck and dodge the venom spit at them by the dilophosaurs. In the televised episode, they had wooden shields to block with.
