Seinfeld Is Unfunny is now a disambiguation page.


* OnceOriginalNowCommon: When ''The Mysterious Island'' was first released, it was unique for being the only movie in the series where a character introduced in a sequel film came back, and it was fan-favorite Chomper, of all people. Nowadays, with Chomper being an AscendedExtra in the TV series and characters like Mo and Bron showing up in films outside their debut, it's much less big of a deal.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Due to bringing back fan-favorite Chomper, a higher-stakes plot, more action and better pacing, and one of the most competent and intimidating villains of the series outside of the [[WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime original Sharptooth]], this film is often considered an improvement over films 2-4 (which themselves are now considered some of the better sequels, as there have been many weaker ones released since).

I misread "her first film" as "the first film".


* BadassDecay: Mama Sharptooth is still a full-grown ''T. rex'', but unlike her first film where the sharptooh nearly killed Grandpa Longneck by herself and was basically equal in every way with her husband, here she [[FauxActionGirl fails to land a hit]] on the Plated Sharptooth while Papa Sharptooth lands two, implying she's the weaker of the pair.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://youtu.be/M153kJkQmmo "Always There"]] is one of the best and most beloved songs of the entire series. A longing, vulnerable lullaby with a wonderful piano and violin backing, this song also has a truly beautiful chorus:
-->Always there... Someone you can count on to comfort you... Always there... like a green, green valley, you can come home to.



* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Plated Sharptooth (a ''Giganotosaurus''), despite his limited screentime, has left quite an impression on the fandom, for being an utterly terrifying KnightOfCerebus that could give the original [[MemeticBadass Sharptooth]] a run for his money. He cements his badass credentials by holding his own while fighting two ''T. rex''.

* HilariousInHindsight: The Plated Sharptooth is mostly agreed to be a Giganotosaurus by fans. Funnily enough, Giganotosaurus would be featured [[Film/JurassicWorldDominion in another dinosaur movie later down the line where it is depicted being a giant carnivore with stripes running across its body and spikes going across its back.]] For added bonus, both dinosaurs from their respective movies get to fight a T-Rex and overpower them.
