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? 

Dr. Wu reveals he came back to the island for the Indominus rex (not knowing that it was killed by the Mosasaurus after he had evacuated, as seen at the end of Jurassic World).

Kenji tells Darius that the two of them are not on good terms after the Brooklynn/laptop rescue incident, "Because unlike you, I don't take risks with friends' lives." This falling out between the friends comes up again in the following episode, the first episode of Season Four, "Beneath the Surface".

At the very end of the episode, a faint roaring is heard from a closed room of the yacht. In the next episode, "Beneath the Surface", the sound is revealed to have been made by a stowaway compy, but here the roar sounds a bit more substantial than has ever been heard from a compy.

Didja Know? 

Oddly, this episode and the previous one "Whatever It Takes" (the last two episodes of Season 3) are not covered in the novelization. They are also not covered in Volume Four of the series novelization, except for a one page summary of the events of these two episodes to set the stage for Chapter One of that volume!
