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 Pangea may have looked in the Triassic-Jurassic periods of the Mezoxoic 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? 

Brooklyn remarks that Darius has major FOMO. FOMO stands for "fear of missing out."

Darius guiltily says to Ben, "Everything you went through is because of me." This refers to the dangling Ben slipping out of Darius' hand from the monorail in "End of the Line", after which Ben had to survive in the jungle on his own for weeks.

Ben uses the nicknames "Bumpers" for Bumpy.
