Trivia
- This is the first TV series for the Jurassic Park franchise as a whole and the first animated series which made it to syndication.
- The miniseries is loosely canon (if at all) to the wider Jurassic Park series. Most prominent is the featuring of characters Ian Malcolm and Alan Grant visiting Jurassic World ahead of their official returns.
- Despite taking place 3 years before the events of Jurassic World, the miniseries features character and dinosaur designs modeled from designs in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
- The adult Allosaurus which features at the tailend of the series is modeled after the dinosaur's appearance in the canonical short film Battle at Big Rock.
- The appearance of a dinosaur robot that Danny Nedermeyer pilots may be a reference to the animatronic dinosaurs built by Stan Winston Studios that originally portrayed the dinosaurs on screen in the first three Jurassic Park films.
- The two part special "Double Trouble" which sees a robotic AI operating Jurassic World and later attempting to eliminate all humans may be a loose reference to Westworld, a film directed by series creator Michael Crichton which is also about a theme park in which it's controlling AI also goes awry.
