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?
At 0:57 in the episode, a long shot of the scene at an Isla
Nublar dock shows
Daniel Kon, Dodgson, and Hawkes loading a Baryonyx into
a shipping container while a fourth human figure (presumably
another of Kon's hired mercenaries) is securing a container door
at the backs of where Daniel Kon and Dodgson are standing. But
in the next shot seconds later in close up of the scene from the
opposite angle, the mercenary is nowhere to be seen.
In this episode, Brandon, Roxie, and Dave discover the abandoned
campsite of Mitch and Tiff Wyley, last seen in
"Chaos Theory".
Dave refers to the Camp Cretaceous campers as the
campa-dampa-doos. Probably intended as a sort of play on the
"Scooby gang" and "Scooby-dooby-doo" battle cry in the
Scooby-Doo cartoons and movies (and Buffy the Vampire
Slayer).
The carnosaur Hawkes shoots with his tranquilizer rifle is a
Ceratosaurus.
Mae mentions to Daniel that she is from
London and
has an uncle who owns a fishery near there. She is thinking
about going to work there, having become disillusioned with all
the people who want to corrupt dinosaurs for profit.
The smelly, disgusting object found by Roxie, Dave, and Brandon
in the tent at the abandoned camp site is presumably the
Sinoceratops head Mitch and Tiff had collected months ago.
Kenji comments to his father that he always wanted a dog. His
father seems noncomittal about this confession.
