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 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 kids don't know that Tiff was eaten by Chaos and Limbo in "Chaos Theory".

While the yacht is docked, something in the water seems to bump into it, bashing it against the dock and make a hole in the hull the kids now need to fix. It is never quite explained on screen, but mostly likely what hit the boat was an Ouranosaurus, the duck-billed dinosaurs who become territorial and begin attacking the campers later in the episode. (Though in the novelization, Ben suggests that maybe "Captain Kenji" forgot to tie the boat down tight to the dock.)

Brooklynn hopes to be able to open one of the warehouse doors at the dock with her master keycard, but she finds none of the doors have electronic locks. She found the keycard in "The Watering Hole".

Didja Notice? 

The novelization omits the subplot about Sammy trying to make friends with Bumpy. Also, here the Ouranosauruses give up chasing the campers after Kenji drives the yacht out to sea, away from the dock, not diving in and chasing the yacht as they do in the televised episode.
