So, there are these two half-brothers, David and Karl Scott, who have nothing in common and don't seem to like each other much. Oonu is played by Colin Salmon, whom I've seen in a number of things in the years since this came out, though the one I immediately recognized him from is Arrow. Rosemary is played by Alice Krige, whom I know from Star Trek: First Contact. Cyrus is played by David Thewlis, whom I feel like I must have seen in something (or maybe I've just heard his name before).
David is played by Wentworth Miller, whom I vaguely know from Prison Break. Oh, and I should mention some of the actors are a bit familiar to me from other things, whether I saw them before or after this first aired. It was definitely worth watching, though. But a lot of the actual writing and acting weren't so good. The visual effects were alright, and I guess the story was basically okay. I didn't like it quite as much as I expected to.

(Aside from the miniseries and the TV series, Sonar's website mentions seven other Dinotopia productions, which I assume were direct-to-video or something.) Well, now that I've seen the miniseries.

I should also mention that there was a TV series spun off from it, later in 2002, but I definitely never watched that. Anyway, it's not important, because I've seen it now. I am quite capable of watching something like this and then forgetting all the details, but it's also possible there was some reason I didn't watch it, back then. But otherwise, the whole plot and all the characters seemed completely unfamiliar. And one of the main characters, Marion, definitely looked familiar to me. I remember the basic premise about dinosaurs and humans living in harmony on a large island called Dinotopia, which is cut off from the rest of world. in fact, before watching it on DVD in 2014, I thought I had seen it, but now I'm not so sure. It first aired on The Wonderful World of Disney in 2002, and I remember wanting to see it at the time. This is based on a series of books that I've never read. This release was later discontinued and went out of print, but on March 15, 2016, Mill Creek Entertainment re-released the series on Region 1 DVD and also on Region 2 DVD in Europe.IMDb Mill Creek Entertainment Sonar Entertainment TV.com TV Tango TV Tropes Wikia Wikipedia However, in December the viewing figures had not improved enough to satisfy the ABC network, and the series was canceled, with the result that only six of the thirteen episodes were aired on ABC, although all thirteen were broadcast in Europe in 2003.Īrtisan Entertainment released the whole series on Region 1 DVD on January 20, 2004. The network was disappointed by the 5.7 million viewers for Episode 1, but stated that it had been an "odd viewing night overall" and continued to broadcast the show. Michael Brandon, Jonathan Hyde, and Erik von Detten also star in the series.ĪBC first planned to launch the series in September 2002, but in the event waited until Thanksgiving in November. Georgina Rylance played Marion Waldo, and Lisa Zane her friend Le Sage, leader of the Outsiders. Location shooting lasted for three months near Budapest, Hungary. None of the cast of the mini-series returned to their roles. The series was produced as a sequel to the miniseries Dinotopia, broadcast in early 2002, and thirteen new episodes were filmed. The Outsiders pose less of a danger than the featured Saurian antagonists, such as Pteranodon, Tyrannosaurus, and Postosuchus. The Scotts settle at Waterfall City, capital of Dinotopia, which then is affected by the arrival of a group called the Outsiders, who live outside the laws of Dinotopia. US pilot Frank Scott, with his sons Karl and David, crash-lands a light plane in a tropical storm and they find themselves on an English-speaking island called Dinotopia, remote and undiscovered, where people live alongside dinosaurs, mostly peacefully.
