When I saw stone of cold fire previewed it looked like the big asteroid was finally coming to wipe out the dinosaurs when it crashed into the gulf. Didn't anyone else rationalize this?
shareI cannot in any way see the creators of this series more or less showing the characters' death, or what caused it. How traumatizing is that to any child old enough to understand it?
shareThat's the issue with making your protagonists dinosaurs, you eventually have to accept the inevitable.

See, this is a problem I always had with the sequels anyway. The only reason for there to BE sequels were popular demand and money.
For the first film, I see the dinosaurs trek to their valley as a figurative march through purgatory towards paradise or destruction. They can't survive and don't belong in the hostile world around them anymore. At the end of the movie, the narrator gives us his better-worded version of "and they all lived happily ever after", but the way he tells it brings up that the generations that surpass them will speak forever of them and their journey. And when he says that, I can't help but imagine he doesn't only mean generations of dinosaurs, but that he refers to how, even so long after they have been gone and forgotten by time, they WERE found, and remembered. Remembered by the only creatures in known history with the true capacity to understand them and appreciate them, even if they have never and can never see them as they were.
