6 In the books, Lee is a loner, constantly chasing gold and stuck in patterns that no longer serve in the barter-based world of Dinotopia. More evidence this is an alternate reality, since DMS Lee kept journals and died in prison after talking to his clearly acknowledged son. Cyrus CrabbĬyrus is supposedly the son of Lee Crabb, the main antagonist from the books. Yet his harsh words about DMS’ Dinotopia don’t feel so off-mark, where jails apparently do exist, the mayor has servants, and library archives are restricted. Zippo flips out over a “stolen” library book, 4 while Hugh threatening to steal library scrolls is met with, “If your need is so strong, so be it.” 5 The deeper issues with trust and self-confidence that motivate Hugh’s desire to escape are gradually revealed, while Carl wants to leave…because he does? And he’s fine once he has a cute baby dinosaur and his dad. He asks hard questions about prisons and homelessness, showing Dinotopia lacks both. Hugh’s perspective as a London pickpocket bound for penal colony Australia brings depth to his conversations and character. Between flat acting and little backstory, however, the Scott brothers’ arguments just feel like petty bickering. Like Hugh, Carl resists Dinotopia’s attempts to educate him while David loves Dinotopia and befriends an outcast flyer like Raymond. The mythical half-saurian King Ogthar even gets a makeover with a face that looks more like Zippo than a ceratopsian!Ĭarl and David seem mostly based on Hugh and Raymond from Scott Ciencin’s Windchaser. 3 That “darkness” was the extinction event of the dinosaurs, which should be before humans evolved unless this takes place in the same universe as The Flintstones. 2 Then there’s Mayor Waldo’s legend of the World Beneath, where a “young woman” uses sunstones to lead humans and saurians in a time of darkness. Arthur Denison, for instance, was arrested for traveling to the World Beneath instead of celebrated and encouraged to return. 1 Waterfall City is a center of government rather than learning, and despite every major Dinotopian character being related to them, the cast from the books have all been wiped out by a mysterious editorial disease. They have mayors, a history of 207 in fact, and a “Dinotopian Senate” that never existed in the 1860s original setting.

Since Carl and David swam on their own, I guess they’re just wetbacks. Newcomers to Dinotopia are called “dolphinbacks” because they are guided by dolphins. Meanwhile, everyone goes bananas because the sunstones are failing. Carl gets the ultimate parenthood egg assignment that hatches into an adorable Chasmosaurus named 26.

David is dragged off to Skybax training but ends up flying a Pteranodon. A tussle send them falling from the clifftop city and washing downriver, which conveniently leaves them near a hatchery run by Marion’s mother Rosemary. Onward they go to Waterfall City, where they learn to use footprint stamps but seemingly nothing about Dinotopian culture or history since they are constantly shocked or confused later.

Traveling inward, they meet Professor Lupin, cursed into the role of vague villain Cyrus Crabb Marion, their blandly serene guide and love interest and the most horrifying monster of all, Zippo (more on him shortly). After they crash, the bros swim to shore. All are apparently invulnerable demi-gods since Dad-dude thinks sleeping at the wheel of a private plane flying over the ocean is a great vacation idea. The story begins with half-brothers David and Carl Scott spending time with their dad. This is one of the better (and quicker) ones. Fittingly, most of the trailer clips for DMS are low-quality.
