This 20-year-old movie looks much more realistic than current blockbusters. God bless animatronics !
Right on, superpotiron! - David

ALL HAIL PRACTICAL EFFECTS!!!!!!
The T-Rex scene under the rain will never get old.
NEVER INDEED
Even when you know it's fake, being on that set with the T-Rex would still be shit-your-pants scary.
Yeah for real that would be terrifying to do.
I can't believe how fast it was able to move. How much power was in that thing!? I'd be afraid to go near it!
Julian Derczynski it Could be used for security just let it pick up a criminal and shake them like a rag doll
Movie Junkie I'm afraid just looking at it.
And how quiet it is for moving that fast. You'd think something with so many servos and hydraulics would sound like a machine shop with any movement.
They might have used belts too. Faster response, reliable, and very quiet.
Movie magic in full effect. So cool.
This animatronic is so beautiful. The fact that they made it from head to tail is amazing. And the tail moves too.. you can see the "muscle" movement under the "skin".. it really is a shame that it had to be taken apart. I would have loved to see more of this animatronic outside of the film. The most amazing piece of art out there. Beautiful.
Art.
Why'd they have to take it down? It should be in a museum
@@DepravedCoTApologist
These animatronics are built to look incredible but not to last
Time isn't kind to these machines from what I know
I love how the puppeteer is truly acting like a dog taking the treat is adorable. Wow that thing is imposing. It’s lovely to see something new about Rexy after all these years. Feels like im 11 years old again in that theater in 1993!
That has got to be one of the greatest film achievements right there. Rex was an incredible thing to see as a 7 yr old boy in the cinema. A memory I most certainly will never forget.
jurassic park was my first cinema movie and the trex definately terrified me. I can remember that i was really scared of it. It was one big amazing thrill.
Isn't it amazing how this remote control T-Rex blew away a whole lot of the CG stuff they throw around nowadays?
CGI will never even come close to this. This was magic. This IS magic. Even 50 years later, this will be magic. Wish Hollywood went back to animatronics.
Hollywood can't even write a decent script.
As fascinating as it is, there are significant limitations with animatronics. Not to mention they’re expensive and difficult to scene with.
It's remarkable how real that Tyrannosaur looks, what made Jurassic Park a great film was its realistic dinosaurs me personally I much prefer animatronics much better results than CGI and this film proves it.
*****, we agree with you. But we're biased, of course. - David
Stan Winston School who cares either way you's speak the truth
Thanks Joshua Aplleby. - David
The film uses CGI tho
While I prefer practical effects over CGI' the film had a whole lot of both CGI and green screening even for some of there most beloved and popular scenes. The CGI while terrible in most other films is actually used effectively in Jurassic Park mostly because they had the will and determination to see that the movie was successful.
It really sucks that this animatronic doesn't exist anymore. Imagine if it was still here.
STILL BETTER THAN 99% OF CGI DINO NOWADAY !
Thanks for the kind words, William Cameron. - David
Stan Winston School
You guys deserve a lot of respect for that hardwork you've done almost 22 years ago, thank you for this ! And I hope with Jurassic World you'll push the animatronic technologies far once again.
Stan Winston School Yeah, and I'm sure with Jurassic World, you guys have Stan Winston supporting you from above every step of the way.
William Cameron I agree
this one minute clip looks more real than the whole jurassic world movie
No shit
Cause it is real
True dat
Jc Skan AWWW SHUT THE FUCK UP
I think he just had a stroke and perhaps also has Tourette Syndrome; as why else would anyone be so vulgar in such a simple post.
Guy: “Eat it!”
T-rex: *spits out*
Honestly, if Jurassic Park didn't exist and you told people that this was real footage of a T-Rex, I don't think many people would doubt you. The special effects work on this movie will never cease to amaze me.
"What do you do for a living?" - "I feed pieces of foam to a t-rex"
I think this film distinguishes itself from other dino movies not only because of the amazing visuals but because the dinosaurs aren't portrayed as monsters or the bad guys they are just wild animals.
Might not be portrayed as monsters however I do believe Lex did quote:
"Don't call the monsters! over here" than Allan Grant pointed out:
"They're not monsters! just animals" than Tim pointed out they're herbivores.
Especially when the t-rex "saves" them from the raptors.
...or dumb kitties like the raptors in the last three jurassic worlds
It takes a lot of effort to train a t rex like that. You really have to start them young.
This is the magic that CGI will never be able to replace. Imagine working on a set with an amazing animatronic like that. It's real and it's there.
Holy crap that looks real. CGI: eat your heart out!
I have this gut feeling that modern audiences are getting CGI fatigue. I'm hopeful that practical effects become the norm again in modern movies whenever possible. They just look so much better and they age more gracefully. CGI from ten years ago already look pretty bad, whereas practical effects from 50 year old movies still holds up. Especially in movies where there is live action mixed with CGI -- I don't care how much money they throw at it, CGI characters and monsters always stick out like a sore thumb. Modern movies look like video game cut scenes. There is no charm anymore.
This is a very typical view, saying that CGI looks bad. However it is not the CGI that looks bad, computer graphics are flawless. What you are seeing as "bad" is the compositing process of blending the CGI with the live action footage. Which is basically making sure that the lighting for the CGI character matches the lighting in the scene. Unfortunately, many movies of the 90's and early 2000's have "dated" CGI because the compositing process was made for theaters under certain lighting conditions and contrast settings. Which is why the DVD's of these movies seem to have different CGI than what you originally saw in theaters. The compositing process cannot take into account the huge lighting changes that occur when transferring these films to DVD or Blu-ray. So even today you will never get the same experience as you did in theaters. That is one of the drawbacks of CGI. Practical effects, obviously, will always look the same because they were filmed on the spot. There are some CGI characters who still look good to this day: dock ocks arms in spider-man 2 for example hold up very well. The aliens in District 9 hold up extremely well too. And there is a lot of CGI that audiences do not even know is there. The problem isn't the CGI, it is just a tool. The problem is the people that tend to over-use it. Practical effects can save the visual effects team a lot of time, and they can then use that time to polish visual effects. But studios demand more and more scenes with more visual effects, so these VFX studios can only polish so much, and do the best they can. The best films are the ones that strike a good balance between CGI and practical effects. Practical effects are fantastic for close-up shots and limited movement. But wider shots with more intense movement is close to impossible to do with practical effects. Especially with giant creatures and things that are out of this world, those can only be made with computer graphics. Some of the greatest characters have been brought to life with CGI, including the Rex in this film, Gollum in Lord of the Rings, Ceaser in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Optimus Prime in Transformers, and the Tiger in Life of Pie. So remember, CGI is not your enemy, it is made by teams of people who work hard for hours and hours just as practical effects teams do. You just have to know how to use it. And by the way I love practical effects as well, and I agree that there should be more of them. But I wouldn't say to get rid of CGI altogether, that would be silly.
Spidey406 I don't think throwing all CGI out is a good idea either; I'd agree with almost everything you wrote. I just find that in pretty much any live action movie an all CGI character typically sticks out and uncanny valley kicks in. I think Caesar in Rise..Apes, Gollum, etc don't look good enough to pass reality test. They are definitely passable but I still feel like I'm watching an animation vs something real. There is no weight to them in the environment and they look too "rendered". CGI comes in very handy for backgrounds on live sets, such as on Boardwalk Empire to create an atmosphere that would be impossible or too costly to build. When used subtly I think it is fantastic and can really enhance the experience. Part of it is a matter of taste as well. My gripe is that in the last decade there has been an over reliance on it and a turn away from (many time) more realistic practical effects; which I think should be used if at all possible. Another pro for practical effects is that they often require less camera movement - which I prefer over modern movies that have every shot be some sweeping camera angle, which for me just reminds me that I'm watching a movie. CGI scenes often show too much just because they can, and they over stuff set pieces and overwhelm the visuals. I understand that CGI, done well, requires a lot of work, money, and know-how --- I just feel it is overused and often done distastefully.
Spidey406 I should also say that I feel the CGI used in Jurassic Park was really good and holds up much better than a lot of CGI from the last decade. The T-rex chasing the Jeep for example looks fantastic. However, I'm so glad they built this animatronic T-rex. Besides looking great, it is just an amazing real, physical creation. I can't imagine how it must have been for the actors and crew on set -- it'd be like acting with a rel T-rex. I notice in a lot of movies with a real actor and a CGI character that it is blatantly obvious that the actor was having to pretend they were looking at something when in reality were standing in front of a green screen staring at a tennis ball or something. The line of sight of the actor never feels quite right with what they are supposed to be looking at.
kingv911 True that. I agree. Actually having the physical objects, creatures, etc. is very special. And you are right about the abuse of certain camera movements, angles etc. And yes, really the trick to good CGI is focus. Jurassic Park I believe has only a couple of minutes of CGI tops. But most of it is extremely polished. And I think it is a matter of taste. I would argue that even with some of the best practical effects you can always tell it is a special effect. As with some of the best CGI. I've learned to disconnect myself from that and just enjoy it. I can always spot the CGI, but it is still very fun to watch. But yes, balance is key, and some movies are getting very out of hand with what tools they use, when and how much. I do believe there will be a resurgence of practical effects at some point. (When a good enough movie comes out, is popular enough, makes a lot of money, and just so happened to use a lot of practical effects). There are examples of this already in recent times, but it needs to be something like Avatar, where EVERYONE knows about it, or has seen it. You know what I mean? Until then we can only hope. But I am still a fan of some CGI characters, and I understand if you are not. That's cool.
kingv911 I agree. I feel that movies today (such as the Hobbit) use to much cgi which makes it look even less realistic, as apposed to the Lord of the Rings which used costuming and other practical effects which made everything look realistic.
1993 special effects and the darn things is still way more convincing and much better looking than anything you see today.
Too much CGI in world. The original JP with it's anitmatronics was what made it special.
I disagree.
Cgi animation can be special
PhoenixMaster13 Yeah. in the original JP it was damn good. Not so much in most everything else
sukiesoya yes all those saurapods were surely not CGI (sarcasm), they for me were the most magical part of the movie
PhoenixMaster13 It can be special see The Goblin King, Gollum and Smaug in The Hobbit, but it also can be bad see the cgi Orcs in The Hobbit compared to the practical make-up Uruk'hai and Orcs in Lord of the Rings
PKBitchGirl yeah those are all great work almost akin to a way you can appreciate an amazing cartoon animator or something. I think we just want to see it used more often for making something look REAL, like the Rex in JP.
Im seeing it.. but I still can't believe it. This is not animatronics. You basically brought T-Rex back to life. I can't believe the artistry and work that went into building such productions like this, my god. CGI could never hope to in the next 40 years ever rival this type of realism.
THE SCENE WAS REAL ENOUGH, RECORDING IT ON A NORMAL CAMERA MAKES IT EVEN MORE REALISTIC I ALMOST THOUGHT IT WAS REAL FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND
Animatronics will always be a million times better than CGI
So you think this animatronic can do extreme movement, run and jump and eat people and break shit? Cgi is always needed if you wanna tell a story.
Yeah.... a really shitty story
Animatronics cost more than CGI along with the very high chance of failure in building it ALONG with the environment getting in the way AND the actors working with it. I honestly don't enjoy CGI if its way too noticeable (Michael Bay's Transformers, looking at you), but CGI is "overused" because it's a reliable method to create otherwise impossible scenes. It's not just put there because directors are lazy.
xXanaXBloodXx Don't go from one extreme to the other. Both arts are crucial to excellent effects.
You're dumb aren't you? Go make a Jurassic park movie only animationics and see how it ends up
There's something so wholesome about seeing this terrifying giantess have so much with her coworkers lol
Damn! She looks alive! 😍
And it’s just a rehearsal
That's literally all it could do, and yet they made it work so beautifully on camera. Masterpiece. ❤
That looks bloody terrifying😳😳. It also looks incredible. I would have been such an amazing experience to be around that animatronic.
I wish movies used anamatronics more than CGI it really makes a difference.
Looks so real I’d be petrified to be in a room with it. Best of the best right there. Nothing like the “real thing” instead of a green screen. Phenomenal work.
This is why the T-Rex looked so real! Stan is the man! RIP.
Is it only me who think that Stan Winston is the greatest practical effect maker of all time? He brought us the Alien Queen from Aliens for example and the t-rex is just amazing!
I can't imagine the fear of being set security after hours. Doing your rounds. And see the T-Rex head move a bit due to an electrical twitch.
Amazing the SPX and VFX of this film still hold up today. Hopefully, animatronics will not go out of style.
astrodogg21 Totally agree! And I bet the actors would too, nothing beats having a real-life T-Rex to act against rather than a tennis ball :) -Maggie
Sum dieenu
Could this animatronic kill someone? I can only imagine how powerful the hydraulics in her mouth were.
Say, what happened to the T-Rex after filming was done?
M1GarandMan3005 apparently from the creator of this video. The trex was soaked in the rain for months then they disassembled it because It was the size of a house
This is what Jurassic World needed. It's basically full CG and looks incredibly fake! We need real movies not fake digitals.
they are using animatronics
Holy crap! You've seen the movie? |
I know you haven't okay....just shut up about full CG
Most of the dinosaur in Jurassic Park are Cgi, only a few close up. You cannot make a whole movie about static dinosaur, Cgi is needed.
***** Exactly. Besides. If this was a trailer for the first jurassic park, every shot that we've seen in the trailer of the dinosaurs would still be a special effect.
Comparison time!
Gallimimus - J Park=cgi
brachiosaur - J Park =cgi
mosasaurus - Not in J Park but I'm sure that shot would have been cgi.
I Rex running - J Park (t-rex running_ cgi
Raptors running - J Park= cgi,
Boom.
***** Not quite... combined, all of Jurassic Park's CGI dinos have just 6 minutes of screen time, while total dinosaur effects shots make up only 14 minutes of the 127 minute film.

Stan Winston School think big,think t-rex and tornado.
Wow
I've always wondered if a full size animatronic could stand on two legs and have a robotic that could balance it self, and be operated by a person inside the animatronic. So for example a person would be inside the animatronic, covered in sensors that control facial and full body movement, thus eliminating the need for cgi in a Jurassic park movie. The person inside would have an assist when it comes to moving, think of ripley and the power loader or the yeager's in pacific Rim.
It would be a tremendous undertaking, but to get to see a puppeteer moving a 15 foot tall 8 ton, 45 foot animatronic freely with no cable assist would be a game changer.
Ace Attack
well said bro.have you seen how to train your dragon movie ?
if t-rex dinosaur were alive today ,we would make them slaves.today they work in coal mines.
Does anyone know what happened to this animatronic? If its sitting in a studio collecting dust or if it was disassembled? Love to know.
CABdosdos this big baby was disassembled long ago! Not only was he made of foam and soaked in the Hawaiin rain for months, but he was the size of a small BUILDING and couldn't be kept intact! A lot of the original concept maquettes and artwork still exist. And it's always alive on film. - John
Stan Winston School How about the two others from the second film? Have they allso been dissasembled?
They have, sad to say. - David
Stan Winston School the animatronics from Jurassic Park movie would have been fantastic in a Dinosaur Zoo :)
I remember someone said once that the Latex foam skin that is used to make the puppets goes bad fairly quickly, I was hoping they'd save the robotics though. Alas.
This is a true work of art the puppeteers bring this thing to life and I'm looking at it and all I can say is this thing is alive
Best representation of a dinosaur in all aspects throughout the history of art 🗿🍷.
Christopher, Standing nose to nose with that beautiful beast was by far the greatest thrill of my life. Sharing these videos is our way of bringing you on set with us, so you and fans around the world can experience it too. Thanks as always for being a part of SWSCA. -Matt
I feel like this is what an actual trex footage would look like, that shit in jurrasic world looked like a 2015 video game,
If a real T. rex looks anything remotely close to this it must have been terrifying.
When the T Rex breaks into the car with the kids, their screams are real. It wasn't supposed to break through the glass.
Didn't know that. Seems possibly apocryphal. - David
John Viking The awkward moment when the T-Rex puppeteer goes too far and its head squashes one of the actors...
John Viking Source on that?
BriefCasey795 When the T-Rex comes through the glass roof of the Ford Explorer in the first attack, the glass was not meant to break, producing the noticeably genuine screams from the children. Jurassic Park Trivia on imdb :)
John Viking I'm pretty sure they clarified that there's a moment where the first time the T rex nudges the car really hard, they scream and you can hear breaking glass because it broke THAT window. In the next shot it's not broken and was not meant to be. The glass roof was all staged and carefully choreographed for safety. The only thing I can think of is the fact that it cracked in 2 pieces might not have been intentional.
I want it! I would ride and it would be my pet.
Don’t Forget To Feed It Foam!
You have weird fantasies
Make sure you pick up after her and keep her well-fed.
step-dino what are you doing!!
@@mysterioussenorita1053 what? Who hasnt dreamed of having a dino as a pet?
Yes, the animatronics were great, but the CGI in Jurassic Park was also great. The use of sounds, lighting and camera work really puts Spielberg are the top of the food chain when it comes to directing.
STILL the most terrifying T-Rex in the franchise.
I bet a trained tyrannosaurus would do this too. It might as well be real with this video quality. So god damned amazing! Bravo 90s filmmaking... where no movie was worth skimping out on visual effects and passionate filmmakers.
That is so cool. I love the OG T Rex. They need to go back to making these types of movies
I can't believe they made this! Coolest dino toy ever.
Seriously so much more believable than all the new cgi. It’s like I’m watching an animated movie sometimes with the new crap. Same with Star Wars, 40 years later and the special effects hold .
The greatest animatronic ever built
I love the smoothly way that rexy moves, actually looks amazing.
I worked as a nighguard for a short time at a museum. I had just seen "night at the museum", and ofcourse I just had to go in to the Tyrannosaurus Rex and lit it up with my maglight. It was really awesome and I felt like a kid again :) Lovely beast!
Obviously the sound, the rain, the lighting, and the music all sell it. But even all by itself in a test this looks great.
The old trex design looks cooler than the new one in my opinion, congratulations Stan Winston, you did a great job.
My god it looks realistically beautiful. ♡♡♡
This would be way too much fun to play with either controlling or the one interacting with it! I don't think I'd ever get bored with it.
hondragrid, You are correct in your assumption. It was NEVER boring to hang out with T-rex. :) -Matt
Learn how we do it: www.stanwinstonschool.com - Balázs
Stan Winston Robotic Dinosaur look fabolous. The Beauty of the T Rex Scene that was filmed was that during that entire sequence, the reaction, of each and every actor was as real as it gets.
That’s the most amazing animatronic I’ve ever seen. I have to believe that nothing else has been as articulate at that scale since.
This thing it's alive! This is what JW needed.
I want that in my house.
Beatrice Davidsson I know the feeling! -Maggie
i'd be terrorified if that was in my house if i saw that in the middle of the night i'd scream and run
This sequence was, put simply, Hollywood cinema at its very best. This is the reason we go to the movies.
Always, just WOW! Completely Breathtaking to this day. Just *love* what the *Stan Winston crew* created & accomplished all the way back in the 1990's. Perfection. No doubt proves that CG can only go so far. But animatronic technology will forever be more *real.* The Jurassic films are & always will be timeless. I was so thrilled to *thank Dennis Muren* personally for all he did in the films.
omg how did you manage to capture a t rex and make it eat the foam??
wait, you're telling me that's not real??
it looks like the T-rex is eating a slice of bread XD
Its insane how they manage to create a real t-rex and tame it like that!! They probaly killed it after the movie. Rip
Stefan Flies it was deassembled sadly
This just absolutely blows my mind. I cannot believe that this is a sound stage with an animatronic. I mean, ever since I was a little boy growing up with this movie to this very day, when I watch Jurassic Park, that is a living, breathing T-rex. That is a real storm in a real jungle. Especially after just seeing it in 3D (in an early screening, cha-ching!) Legendary.
Stan Winston's company did an amazing job with the T-Rex
This would be awesome in a museum! Imagine having someone controlling the T. rex so that it interacts with the crowd; man, I'd pay to see that!
that better exist, if it does not I will stop at nothing to make it happen.
It's amazing how a machine of such speed and size can possibly exist, and to perform so well despite being bombarded by rain.
And this was filmed in 1990 (?) so of course it is amazing
M.A.R c
1992.
That is truly incredible. Puts this movie way at the top!
A thing of true beauty. And, MAN, does that thing run quietly.
Spielberg didn’t actually use animatronics. He just said that. But in reality he had real dinosaur actors doing what he said. So this video is actual dinosaurs
That is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my entire life
You have my full support. This movie still holds up better than movies that have come out this year, because they looked and moved so incredibly real. I'll take practical effects over CG any day.
I think the reason the t.rex looked so real was because of the mix of animationics and CGI
Nope 0 cgi in this trex 100% real animatronic
HTSGaming I think they mean in some scenes ((such as the T.Rex running)) was CGI
I just met some idiot who doesn't think there's any practical effects in Jurassic Park... So I sent him this link.
I highly doubt he actually believed there weren't any practical effects in Jurassic Park. I am positive you were simply trolled or harassed by somebody.
"If you just (Met) them how do you have their number or email in order to send them a link in the first place? If you ask me this post sounds a little suspicious."
Eklipse Empire Talk about dino-splaining! I think you have too much time on your hands there, Sherlock.
I'll take that as a complement. Nothing is wrong with having time
BloodyFlowerFilms I actually managed to convince this friend of mine that the dinosaurs in the film were real. At first I was just kidding, but then I realised he actually believed it. I told him that the dinosaurs were imported from Congo and trained to perform in the film. This happened when he was 17.
Bloo That poor guy tho but I remember how when I put on Jpark and there were Parents bringing their children I told them the dinosaurs were real *movie magic*
I wish they can use these in newer movies, and this looks awesome
I remember seeing this movie when I was three and as soon as I saw that T.Rex I knew I found my favorite movie. To this day my favorite movie is still Jurassic park
No wonder the scene was so realistic. They literally built a real life t rex for the movie lmak
someone told me they didn't find jurassic park that scary. I asked "which one did you see?" their reply was the second one. I said oh okay. watch the first one you'll change your mind that the first is in a league all its own." she got back to me and I said, "how was it?" she replied very nervous sounding," it gave me nightmares." I think jurassic park is a wonderful film and not to be underestimated
😅
Truly the best animatronic T Rex I've Ever Seen. And I've seen a lot.
CGI Could never! 30+ years later and looks more realistic than any CGI
I want one. This and one of those wearable raptor suits!!
sugarpoultry hehe you can if you have the money for it ;)
sugarpoultry You can buy dinosaur suits (Walking Dinosaurs), they don't look 100% like the JP dinos but they're pretty cool. The people behind the spider dog prank pranked Chris Pratt with one. They cost $5000+ though
it's more scary when you know it's animatronic.. lol
0:50 that little dance tho- the animatronic is somehow cute
What's impressive is how fluent its movement is given its size and how quiet it is.
Problem today is we'll get movies that do practical effects... then the studio says "This could be brushed over in CGI."... then they basically replace the entire thing with CG that looks worse than the practical effect they were "improving" (see The Thing remake/prequel and Jurassic World: they did make some legit practical effects... but someone did them over with computers in post).
thereefshark From what I've heard that's what New Line did with the Hobbit, halfway through production they decided to make the Orcs CGI and it shows, Hobbit orcs look shit compared to Lord of the Rings orcs
PKBitchGirl look, The Hobbit has a lot of problems. Is that one of them? Yes. Is that the reason the trilogy sucks? No.
Jesus christ. CGI this. CGI that. Who gives a good flying fuck. Jurassic park was a great fucking movie. Period. Still is. They all are. Can't wait for jurassic world :-)
zirafiokaz No I don't care for cgi. That's what im saying. Animatronics all the way. That is why, in my opinion, jurassic park is the better of the three.
Wow. What a masterpiece, on so many levels.
Tubes and wires but so realistic and fluid. Wow CGI can't beat this.
I wonder how far they have advanced in terms of animatronic technology and what it would look like if they built one in this day and age.
Don't need to. CGI takes care of that.....only, it looks rubbish. :P I really wish directors would stop taking the easy way out and turning to CGI for everything these days.
Hey Matthew Bugeja we agree. Sometimes directors take it too far. #CGI is the perfect tool to smooth out rough edges but should be married with #PracticalEffects to create the right effect for the #movie! - John
Stan Winston School my thoughts exactly. And that's why movies like Jurrasic Park show much less signs of ageing than others today.
Not very far. Jim Henson died, causing animatronics to lose the war with CGI due to the loss of it's star supporter, preacher and pioneer.
Actually daresmet and ganador13, There have been some incredible developments in #animatronics thanks to lighter weight materials. Have you seen the full-scale #dragons in the "How to Train Your Dragon" stage spectacular? Amazing!!! -Matt
Dear Santa...
Looks better than just about all the CG I've ever seen.
I can't believe this was done. Such brilliance. Stan Winston's crew 🙌
This title is a lie. This is not an animatronic. They bred a real T-Rex for the movie and this is footage of them hanging out after a long day of shooting. Shoutout to my girl Rexy, still looking fantastic at 65 million years old!
to this day im convinced those dinosaurs were real
Still incredible and unsurpassed even now.
I love the Animatronic T-Rex Rehearsel.
