Trivia:

The movie has many similarities with the documentary film March of the Dinosaurs, including taking place in the same general time and place (Cretaceous North America, 70 million years ago), depicting many of the same animals (Pachyrhinosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Troodon, Edmontonia and Quetzalcoatlus), and focusing on a similar story with numerous similar set-pieces.

The tyrannosaurs in this movie are scaly because their models had already been completed before sufficient evidence - such as the discovery of the giant feathered Yutyrannus - came to light in support of the idea that these animals may have been feathered in real life, but also probably because the creators felt that the public would be more accepting of the traditional, scaly look, which is now known to have been incorrect.

Character designer David Krentz is a big name in dinosaur modeling. He has also worked as the lead character designer and dino-sculptor in Disney's Dinosaur and the Discovery Channel's Dinosaur Revolution.

Although the fact that small, raptor-like dinosaurs were feathered has been known since the end of the nineties, this is one of the first movies to actually depict many of its dinosaur characters with a feathery coat. Originally, Disney's Dinosaur would also have included feathered raptors, but budget and animation issues forced the creators to depict them incorrectly with scales.
