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 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? 

The dinosaurs seen in the stampede caused by the Scorpios rex are Ouranosaurus, Stegosaurus,
Ankylosaurus, Gallimimus, Parasaurolophus, Compsognathus (compies), Torosaurus, and Brachiosaurus.

Darius has chosen the call sign "Dariusaurus" as his walkie-talkie handle.

When Kenji calls Darius on the walkie-talkie and asks if he's sure he wants to be called "Dariusaurus", Darius says, "Yes. The answer's still yes." But the voice does not sound like Darius! It sounds more like the actor who voices Ben! Listen (the last few seconds of the clip): Dariusaurus.mp3

In Darius' Field Guide, we see that he has sketched Brachiosaurus, Pteranodon, Gallimimus, Dimorphodon, Dilophosaurus, an unidentified theropod, Carnotaurus, Velociraptor, and Ankylosaurus. 

Finding a freshly killed Gallimimus in the boughs of a tree, Darius wonders what kind of dinosaur kills then drags its victim up into a tree. Of course, in our own time, there's no way of knowing if any predator dinosaurs did that, but modern mammals such as leopards and jaguars are known to do so to protect the meal from scavengers.

There is a possible anomaly from about 12:38-12:46 in the episode. It's hard to notice until you look closely. At screen left of Darius' shoulder, in the background jungle, a motion/distortion can be seen among the trees, almost looking like a camouflaged theropod's head slowly looking around. There is some similarity to the camouflage distortion of the Indominus rex from Jurassic World. But that creature is dead now, and the Scorpios rex is never revealed to have that chameleon-like ability. So what is it? At first, it sort of looks like a large leaf gently moving in a breeze, but nothing else moves and, in the last couple seconds of the sequence, the motion seems more distinctly like a head movement.

Kenji refers to Bumpy by the nickname "Bumper Car". He later refers to Ben as "Ben of the Jungle", possibly a reference to the 1967 animated series and 1997 live-action movie adaptation, George of the Jungle, a parody of the Tarzan trope.

Notes from the junior novelization Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous - The Deluxe Junior Novelization Volume Three by Steve Behling Cover illustration by Patrick Spaziante 2021 Chapters 9-10 cover the events of this episode.

In the novelization, Monolophosaurus is one of the dinosaurs involved in the stampeed caused by the Scorpios rex. This dinosaur is not seen in the televised episode. Some Monolophosauruses were seen previously in "Casa de Kenji".

Kenji arrives at the treehouse to find Darius had left him a note on the chalkboard to tell him he has gone to take care of something before they leave the island, and he leaves Kenji in charge of gathering supplies. In the televised episode, Darius told Kenji all this in person.

The dead Gallimimus Darius finds in a tree does not fall out of it here, as it does in the televised episode.
