I love dinotopia, it is an important part of my childhood and I think it deserves more love and more fanarts! I have always loved Karl and his baby dinosaur!

The TV movies & miniseries of Hallmark/RHI Entertainment were some of the most imaginative and creative shows I saw as a kid

Man, I really feel bad for the Dinotopia guys. They built this whole intricate, creative, enrapturing world, and it was going to be the next big thing. It was gonna be the next franchise. They got George Fucking LUCAS to make a screen adaptation of it. Yeah, the starwars guy. Then midway through production he realizes how much he loves making movies and decides to ditch your project and make the prequels instead. They say there's no bad blood but... man it would fucking kill me to go to the theater and see Naboo and think "Fuck, that coulda been waterfall city"

There still was a franchise. They did eventually make spinoff paperback novels and video games and there were even a couple screen adaptations, but they were done by Lifetime and Hallmark. The lifetime one is actually surprisingly good given its budget. It tells a story that mirrors the structure of the original picture book, two brothers get marooned on Dinotopia, one of them rides a pterosaur and then they have to stop a dude named Krab from stealing a crystal that he needs to make an ancient machine get him off the island... but it's not a reboot or anything, it's the same continuity as the books. I guess guys named Krab really do be stealing crystals every generation or so. It's not really that bad of a series but damn it could have been George Lucas!

I dunno, I just find myself thinking about it. It was a uniquely artistic and non-violent series for its time. All of the dinosaurs and people live in harmony. There used to be a steampunk cyber empire of capitalists who tried to replace dinosaurs with the coolest looking robots you could imagine, but then there was a revolution and they all live in communistic harmony with no real currency. Each according to their need, each to their own ability. All that Jazz.

I'm certainly more normal about it than I am say The Underland Chronicles but I still find myself thinking about those gorgeous communist dinosaur picture books. In another reality, Battleborn won over Overwatch, Galidor never got its budget cut and was actually a smash success, Warner bros actually did something with the TUC film rights, and Kids in the 00s grew up with Dinotopia instead of the Starwars prequels.

#And no hate to the starwars prequels. I actually unironically enjoy them a lot which probably surprises no one #Dinotopia #dinosaurs #Quohotos' unhinged rants that no one asked for #ooh that's a new tag. I guess this will be a series

Imagine if the Dinotopia show actually delved into the fact that The Outsiders are knowingly killing and eating sentient beings

Also if they also how a world like this would + should have evolved over time to have the humans and herbivorous dinosaurs literally donating all of their dead to the carnivores instead of having the carnivores starving all the time until the point that they attack caravans just to survive.

Also, birds are dinosaurs. Chickens are dinosaurs. That means chickens are sentient.

Are you telling me in millennia no one in a shipwreck has washed ashore with their flock of chickens or jungle fowl aboard coming with them?

Chickens lay unfertilized eggs that provide protein.

There should be dinosaurs that do the same!

Not everyone is able to survive on a vegan diet, and that's just for humans; they've got an island full of literal sentient obligate carnivores they have to live alongside.

If thats not evolutionary and social pressure to gain the trait of laying tons of unfertilized eggs to increase the chances of survival for your actual young, I don't know what else is.

gregg and i are watching all our favorite dinosaur related media from childhood together, so that we can contrast and compare them to one another. this is what relationships are supposed to be about.

#almost done with the jurassic park series #then we move on to dinotopia

FINALLY the long-form in-depth video examination of the Dinotopia series I've been waiting for

#dinotopia #james gurney #dino diego #and this won't even be the only video either! #this is just the first book and he's gonna cover not only the whole main series but also all of the spinoff media #exciting things ahead #Youtube

Ok so reading Dinotopia Lost just reminded me that I made Daima so here's something stupid for you all:

Ok imagine if Karl and David were gen Z kids who washed up on Dinotopia and Karl is a little freaking gremlin who teaches these sweet, somewhat naive librarian dinosaurs some outsider lingo. So now every now and again a citizen of Waterfall City might be browsing the Library and suddenly hear:

"Baby Girl Zippo! Come and help me organize here, will you?"

"Coming, Daima Babe!"

And so on and so forth unceasingly. Take this cursed image and run with it.

#except Daima is a little more street smart than Zippo and uses this especially at times to annoy and baffle Karl #dinotopia #oc #headcanons and rewrite #also note these two are way more scientifically accurate in my version #and Karl and David are actual teens not adults pretending to be teens #dinotopia tv series #dinotopia 2002

oh no

new distraction and project idea

no dice no masters/belonging outside belonging system dinotopia game

#fuckkkk oh no #i own literally all of the kids book series but don't have acccess to them atm #i have the original art books and i think the hand of dinotopia novel #so i can do some reading and start working on this #but i was meant to be taking some pictures today

[cattatoir]

Really feel like there should have been a middle ground like dinosaurs dying wasn’t “god’s plan” and “isn’t this clone child the same as an extinct species actively harmful to the existing environment and human life” anyway don’t need to finish this sentence, we know why this plot was dumb

#oh isn’t it cute that a child is feeding the same type of dinosaur that almost killed a child in the last series!!! #listen. if you’re going to go entirely against the thematic elements of the first series #in order to keep making $$ and go oh cool dinosaurs! #that’s fine I guess. #I mean you should have just fucking done dinotopia #but whatever. maybe. you should. have just leant into that d #and not written some of the worst plotted movies I’ve seen this year #and I’ve been watching hallmark #cmo's log

I just gave Apple all my money so Spawn and I could watch the cgi dinosaur nature documentary. 

I have no regrets.

(Also, now that I’ve gone and signed up for Apple TV, I’ll be watching Fraggle Rock by myself...stoned, of course...)

#prehistoric planet #i need this to inspire one of these streaming services to make a good dinotopia movie/series/whathaveyou #then it will all be worth it #and i can finally be motivated to work on the dinotopia friend/family fic that i outlined when i was ten and revisited after spawn was born
