3	''LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar'' is a 2019, 13-episode CG-animated television miniseries that acts as a prequel to the 2015 film ''Film/JurassicWorld'', airing on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in the United States.

5	Continuing the story that began in the special ''WesternAnimation/LegoJurassicWorldTheSecretExhibit'', in 2012, the Jurassic World zoological park is in its prime. Still, trouble is never far away for assistant manager Claire Dearing and raptor trainer Owen Grady -- bad weather, poor managerial decisions, theme park critics, and of course the odd loose dinosaur are all waiting to spoil a typical day on the job, and those are the problems they know about. What they ''don't'' know is that fellow employee Danny Nedermeyer would like nothing better than to put the park out of business and thus avenge his ill-fated uncle Dennis Nedry. To do that, Danny must find and unearth a fabulous pirate treasure hidden somewhere on the island, working off of the information his uncle collected years ago and the help of other underhanded individuals.

7	----
8	!!''LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar'' provides examples of:
9
10	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Owen quickly starts feeling this way about Dr. Ian Malcolm, whom everyone else is preoccupied with. Even as Owen helps handle the crises caused by the power surges, Claire only lavishes praise on Ian's contributions -- and appears attracted to him to boot. To make matters worse, Dr. Malcolm regards Owen's work training raptors as foolhardy at best, crazy at worst. At the end, however, Owen is mollified when [[spoiler: Claire explains to him that her job entails making guests' experiences as satisfying as possible, and in Ian's case, that means constantly flattering his ego. She's "not even a little" attracted to him]]. Dr. Malcolm also comes around to the idea that raptors can be trained.
11	* AnimalStampede: In the aptly titled "Stampede!", a herd of Sinoceratops are about to crush Masrani until Claire figures out a way to save him.
12	* ArsonMurderAndAdmiration: After being rescued, Mitchell reprimands Masrani for the failing or lack of security but then praises the staff of Jurassic World, particularly Owen and Claire for their actions. Because of them, he believes Jurassic World can be functional.
13	* BigBad: Danny Nedermeyer, with his hired helper, Sinjin.
14	* BiggerIsBetter: Wu and Miles's initial plan to create more exciting attractions in "The Hybrid Horror!" is to double the size of the dinosaurs. Surprisingly, Masrani disapproves the idea since that would lead to the endangerment of the guests and himself -- doesn't help that the video Wu and Miles put together to sell him on the idea teases that ''that's exactly what would happen!''
15	* BittersweetEnding: In the end, [[spoiler: Owen, Claire, Hudson and Allison succeed in saving Jurassic World from ruin but Danny and his associates are still on the loose, no doubt planning more schemes against them]]. ([[DoomedByCanon Of]] [[ForegoneConclusion course]], most of the show's audience knows going in Jurassic World will eventually fall anyway.)
16	* CallBack: In "The Power and the Peril!" Dr. Ian Malcolm finally returns to Isla Nublar after his [[Film/JurassicPark1993 previous trip]] to Jurassic World's predecessor. The resulting misadventure includes many call-backs and continuity nods, such as his being upset to once again have to sit in the back of a Jeep that's being "pursued" by carnivores (in this case, Owen's raptors)!
17	** He's not the only one. Dr. Alan Grant is '''finally back''' in "Blown Away!" And his interests in raptors hasn't died down.
18	* CharacterExaggeration: Intentional and PlayedForLaughs. Most of the characters who originated in the films have key aspects of their canon personalities exaggerated here: Masrani's enthusiasm, especially for higher profits; Claire's perky MarriedToTheJob attitude, Dr. Wu's ForScience philosophy, Vic's TriggerHappy attitude towards handling threats. Dr. Ian Malcolm is straight up presented as TheRockStar in all but career in-universe.
19	* DescriptionCut: As they board the monorail to get Dr. Malcolm to the lecture he's already late for, Owen points out that this is a lecture about a ''book''. How upset would the audience be? Cut to an angry audience chanting "Give us Ian! Give us Ian!"
20	* ExcitedEpisodeTitle: All of them!
21	* {{Expy}}: Sinjin is obviously based on Franchise/IndianaJones, though he's hardly a hero.
22	* FaceHeelTurn: Having being diminished and pushed around by Dr. Wu and to a lesser extent, Masrani, Allison helps Danny and Sinjin in sabotaging Jurassic World.
23	* FanCommunityNicknames: [[invoked]] Dr. Ian Malcolm affectionately refers to his GroupieBrigade as "Affic-Ian-Ados".
24	* FlatJoy: Owen's response to learning that Hudson and his family are going to stay at the park indefinitely, meaning Hudson's going to keep hanging around him.
25	* FluffyTamer: Owen. He uses his skills in taming the raptors to convince Rexy to stop attacking him, Claire and the inspector.
26	* ForScience: Dr. Wu ''uses this exclamation'' when he turns on a laser to produce an instant hybrid dinosaur in "The Hybrid Horror!"
27	* GladIThoughtOfIt: In "The Power and the Peril!" Owen's first scene has him working with the raptors on a drill that has them herd Red the dog into a pen. Hudson suggests he should switch the raptors' assigned duties to make it more effective. He brushes this off, but as soon as Hudson's out of earshot he tells Charlie to do as the boy suggested. (She snorts and shakes her head.)
28	* GroupieBrigade: One is happily waiting for Dr. Ian Malcolm when he steps foot on the dock at Isla Nublar. He cheerfully identifies the mostly-female group as members of his fan club; they're all wearing matching T-shirts or cosplay.
29	* HistoryRepeats: Dr. Ian Malcolm has his doubts about revisiting Isla Nublar, but as a mathematician he knows that it's improbable that this trope could take place and his visit thus go horribly wrong. As soon as Claire gets a distress call about compys loose in one of the labs, his hopes sink. More lightheartedly, he is immediately attracted to her at first sight and flirts with her much as he did with Dr. Ellie Sattler, complete with finding an excuse to hold her hand.
30	* HypnoFool: Sinjin spends most of "The Power and the Peril!" as this after Danny's desperate, impromptu attempt to stop him from leaving his employ by hypnotizing him into remembering the details of the lost TreasureMap piece actually works. Danny instructs him to seek out the treasure and follows, but in the end all that's turned up is...the keys to Sinjin's old condo. When Danny ends up in quicksand he frantically starts commanding Sinjin to wake up so he can rescue him, which happens offscreen. At the end of the episode, Danny tries hypnotizing him ''again'' to take the blame for their failure to find the treasure, only for ''both'' of them to end up hypnotized.
31	* TheInspectorIsComing: That would be Larson Mitchell in "Mission: Critical!"
32	* MoralMyopia: While Danny's grief towards his uncle's death is understandable, Jurassic World and especially, Jurassic Park are hardly to be blamed for what happened to him. It was Dennis's sabotage of Jurassic Park that releases the dinosaurs which lead to his demise. Even jarring and outright hypocritical of Danny that he is carrying out the same actions his uncle did, uncaring about the innocent lives who had no part in all this.
33	* NoodleIncident: Almost every episode has Sinjin recalling a previous adventure he had.
34	* NoPartyLikeADonnerParty: Spoofed in "Stampede!" as Vic and his men get lost in the jungle and he informs them that they're out of rations and thus will have to eat each other soon enough. They're appropriately horrified, but on top of that he's ''prepared'' for this sort of crisis and is surprised that they don't have seasoning packets ready to go like he does!
35	* PirateBooty: The treasure of Captain Nobeard.
36	* TheReveal: "Stampede!", the second episode, reveals that Dennis Nedry was searching for the lost treasure of Nobeard prior to the events of ''Film/JurassicPark1993''.
37	* TheRockStar: Spoofed. Dr. Ian Malcolm was dismissively described as "a rock star" by John Hammond way back when, but it's how he's presented and treated in "The Power and the Peril!" A just-published biography is titled ''Life Has a Way: Chaotic Reflections of a Rock Star Mathematician'', he has a GroupieBrigade, and when he finally takes the stage for his lecture fireworks are shot off. According to Claire, the fireworks are a contractual obligation. (Of course, this is a parody not just of the character, but of his popularity in the actual ''Jurassic Park'' franchise.)
38	* RunawayTrain: The Jurassic World monorail becomes this due to power surges in "The Power and the Peril!" Plus, a stray compy is onboard at the time...
39	* SinisterSilhouettes: The mysterious female financier Danny is in contact with via video chat is backlit in white, casting her features in shadow.
40	* StartMyOwn: Aware of the treasure of Captain Nobeard, Danny decides to seek it out with the intent of using it to open a Jurassic World of his own and drive the original out of business.
41	* TagalongKid: Hudson Harper, whose wealthy members-only club family is staying at the park, becomes this to Owen after the latter rescues him in "Pteranodon't!" Owen's not thrilled, especially when he learns at the end of "The Power and the Peril!" that Hudson's convinced his family to ''indefinitely'' extend their stay.
42	* TooDumbToLive: You would think a warning sign is enough to persuade people that a ride is in repair but it's not for Mitchell.
43	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: It's possible Dr. Allison Miles was the reason Dr. Wu decided to focus on genetically-engineered hybrid dinosaurs.
44	* UnwittingPawn: Danny Nedermeyer plans to use Dr. Miles to further his goal in sabotaging Jurassic World.
