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?
This episode reintroduces
Lewis Dodgson, formerly Head of Research for BioSyn and now its
CEO, last seen in "Redemption"
Part 4, where he was run through upon a Triceratops
horn, seemingly to his death at the time! He will appear again
in "Clean Break", episodes of Chaos Theory, and in
Dominion.
Kenji leads his father, Dodgson, and the mercenaries to the old
Jurassic Park Visitor Center ruins where he and the campers last
saw Blue. Dodgson asks what happened to the other raptors Grady
was working with. This refers to Owen Grady and the "trained"
raptors he was working with, Delta, Echo, and Charlie, who were
killed in the events of
Jurassic World.
At 14:05 in the episode, Dodgson finds the
Barbasol cold
storage can dropped by Dennis Nedry in the jungle in
Jurassic Park (and which is later seen
in Dodgson's possession in
Dominion). However,
this can had already been recovered by smuggler Nima Cruz in the
"The Intruder", episode one of
Jurassic Park: The Game by Telltale Games.
Dodgson remarks that he could have used that can 25
years ago. That is a rounded-up number in his estimate; it has
actually been just 23 years since the Jurassic Park incident in
1993 and with the year of this story being 2016.
Dodgson is menaced by a
Dilophosaurus pack, but is saved by Daniel and
his mercenaries. The
Dilophosaurus threat here may have been added by
the producers as an omen of Dodgson's eventual death in
Dominion.
Speaking of omens, Yaz's and Sammy's conversation about the
beauty and romance of the island's forest if there weren't
dinosaurs always trying to kill them and the possibility of going
to a regular forest together some day foreshadows their later
romantic relationship beginning in "The Leap".
The Baryonyx that is captured by Daniel and the
mercenaries is the one called Limbo seen in previous episodes.
