Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Alien Resurrection (1997): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Jurassic Park (1993), which they worked on as animator: Alien Resurrection ⇒ Jurassic Park (the host's read). Aliens caged and taunted while hunting you feels like the raptors; raptors may be Alien rip-offs.
    “the raptors have a bit of an alien rip off vibe, honestly”

Michael Crichton: 1 line

  1. unmapped (adapted) · through Jurassic Park (1993), which they worked on as animator: Michael Crichton ⇒ Jurassic Park (the host's read). Named among the Crichton adaptations they could do another time.
    “we would not do Jurassic Park”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001): 1 line

  1. unmapped (technology showed it was possible) · through Jurassic Park (1993), which they worked on as animator: Jurassic Park ⇒ A.I. Artificial Intelligence (the host's read). The speaker says Kubrick, who first asked Spielberg to build a robot, saw Jurassic Park and reconsidered.
    “And then he sees Jurassic Park and he's once again like, well, wait a second.”

Anaconda (1997): 1 line

  1. lineage (ripple effect) · through Jurassic Park (1993), which they worked on as animator: Jurassic Park ⇒ Anaconda (the host's read). Anaconda is called the final lapping of the Jurassic Park creature-feature wave.
    “that's like the final lapping of the Jurassic Park ripple, sort of washing up on the beach.”

Jurassic World (2015): 1 line

  1. unmapped (misreading) · through Jurassic Park (1993), which they worked on as animator: Jurassic Park ⇒ Jurassic World (the host's read). Spielberg's line that the T-Rex is the hero of Jurassic Park was taken too literally by Trevorrow in Jurassic World.
    “Which Colin Trevor took way too literally in making Jurassic World.”

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Jurassic Park (1993), which they worked on as animator: Jurassic Park ⇒ Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (the host's read). The sequels are a spinoff of Spielberg's imagination though he only executive produces them.
    “even though he's just an executive producer on those movies, it is this interesting spinoff of his imagination.”

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997): 1 line

  1. lineage (sequel-comparison) · through Jurassic Park (1993), which they worked on as animator: Jurassic Park ⇒ The Lost World: Jurassic Park (the host's read). The hosts judge the sequel as normalizing the dinosaurs too fast and dropping the wonder-before-terror structure of the original.
    “This movie normalizes the dinosaurs way too much.”

Twister (1996): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Jurassic Park (1993), which they worked on as animator: Jurassic Park ⇒ Twister (the host's read). Marketing a disaster around unknown leads follows Jurassic Park, where Sam Neill and Laura Dern were known but not famous.
    “coming off of Jurassic Park where it was like Sam Neil and Laura Dern were like well-known, but not famous.”
