DINOTOPIA MOVIE CRYSTAL SERIES
The main series (books directly authored by James Gurney): It should also be noted that, like Richard Adams, James Gurney never met any Animal Tropes he didn't like. (Note that these spin-offs are roughly listed in the order of closeness to the source material and, perhaps not coincidentally, of how much fans like them.)
DINOTOPIA MOVIE CRYSTAL TV
A short-lived television series based, in turn, upon the tv movie. A series of children's novels, also by various genre fiction authors. A fourth Gurney-written/illustrated book packaged with a board game that serves as a prequel. It even looks like Gurney has given everyone an open invite, as the three (thus far) Gurney-written illustrated novels have since been spun-off into (get some Burdock tea and a comfortable seat): A series of novels by various genre-fiction authors. Like Middle-earth, the concept of Dinotopia has proven so popular that it seems as though everyone has been given a chance to play in Gurney's sandbox. Those illustrations certainly inspired the incredible amount of thought he has put into the project, which has resulted is a fantasy setting that is every bit as believable and appealing as Middle-earth. This is largely thanks to the insanely detailed, gorgeous illustrations of author/illustrator James Gurney, previously best known for his book covers, animation background art, and especially for his incredibly detailed illustrations of historical cultures in National Geographic. Once there, they are taught the ways of pacifism and vegetarianism by the other animals and are integrated into society.Īnd as goofy as the premise may sound, it works. Other species, including humans, were marooned on the island over time. As the title suggests, many of the animals are dinosaurs who are very wise and very vague about how they survived the Cretaceous extinction.
It is an idealistic Utopian society ruled over by Intellectual Animals. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
