Jurassic World: The Animated Series, despite the the name, is actually a fanfiction written by Author Gryphinwyrm 7 and can be found here
.
Taking place after the events of Fallen Kingdom, and written in the style of a movie tie-in Animated series, this fic deals with the government response to the loose dinosaurs on the Mainland. They assemble a team of experts to deal with the havoc of the wild animals and genetic anomalies.
This Team consists of Claire Dearing (Leader) Owen Grady, Alan Grant, Zia Rodriguez, Franklin Webb, Roland Tembo, and Jessica Harding. Maisie Lockwood, Blue, and Stiggy (Spelled Styggy in the fic) the Stygimoloch are all also major characters.
The series is notable for the sheer volume of research and effort put into it. The Author has managed to reference every aspect of both primary canon (The Film Series, The Game, and the Book The Evolution of Claire) but also demi-canon with references to the original novels, the 90s tie-in comics, and all manner of Jurassic Park/World Video Games.
The Author wrote the fic in the 'Style' of an animated series, with each chapter serving as an 'episode' and even including an End Credits sequence at the end of each chapter, complete with a list of Voice Actors (Amusingly, a mix of the actors from the movie and professional voice actors)
It is not to be confused with the actual animated series based on the films, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.
Provides Examples of
-
Hilarious in Hindsight: An ''actual'' animated series based on Jurassic World is set to debut in 2019. - Shown Their Work: And HOW! Referencing Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park: The Game, The Lost World Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park III, The Evolution of Claire, Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and every little tidbit left on the DPG website cannot be easy, but this fic manages it.
- Shout-Out: The Chef in the first 'Episode' mentions a 'Mr. Doniger' Those familiar with Michael Crichton's other novels are now wondering if Time Travel is possible in this Universe.
- Team Leader: Owen Grady, though technically Claire is in charge of the Team, Owen tends to take point on field operations
- The Big Guy: Blue the Velociraptor is the team muscle, often fighting dinosaurs like the Carnotaurus or Spinosaurus in order to save the team. Interestingly, she appears unsure of her own role within the 'Pack' and has taken to retrieving objects that the other members need as well as training Stiggy to scent.
- Tagalong Kid: Maisie Lockwood, though she tends to contribute as much as the adults, and even rescued three triceratops singlehandedly while the rest of the team was elsewhere
- The Mentor: Grant, who is getting up there in years, but still very much up to date on all things paleontological
- Team Pet: Blue, Styggy, and to an extent Rexy all qualify
- Evilutionary Biologist: Dr. Henry Wu seems to have this as his motivation, wanting to see the outcome of Dinosaurs and Man interacting.
- Chameleon Camouflage: The Carnotaurus have this ability again, similar to their novel counterparts, though they seem to have just discovered it themselves. Grant suspects that they have Cuttlefish DNA like the Indominus.
- Artistic License – Paleontology: About on Par with the movies that inspired the fanfictions, however the author seems keenly aware of Paleontology and Paleozoolgy and has frequently mentioned discrepancies in his 'end credits' page, such as how Tyrannosaurus didn't actually roar and the 2014 discoveries regarding Spinosaurus.
- No Communities Were Harmed: Much of the Action takes place in the fictional California town of "San Huelva" which seems to be about 30 minutes away from San Diego by car. (Interestingly, Nicholas de Huelva is the man who named Isla Nublar in the film canon, so this is yet another well placed subtle Shout-Out / Shown Their Work example)
