Jurassic Park Goes Lego in Upcoming Animated Film

The 22-Minute Short Film Will Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Saga Launched by Steven Spielberg.

After Batman, Star Wars, and Marvel’s Avengers, the Jurassic Park saga is the next cinematic franchise to receive the Lego treatment. Indeed, the U.S. platform Peacock is developing a 22-minute short film that will loosely recreate Steven Spielberg’s iconic 1993 film. Titled ‘Lego Jurassic Park: The Unofficial Retelling,’ the film will exclusively premiere on Peacock in the United States. A first glimpse of this Lego version of Jurassic Park, featuring the franchise’s iconic T-rex logo, is already available.

Based on Michael Crichton’s eponymous novel, Jurassic Park is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. The short film will be released in honor of this milestone celebrating the 30th anniversary of the film.

Steven Spielberg will serve as a producer through his company, Amblin Entertainment. In line with previous Lego productions, we can expect a hilarious parody revolving around the story of professors Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm, who find themselves thrust into a giant amusement park on an island in Costa Rica, where genetically resurrected dinosaurs roam. But when a security breach leads to the creatures’ release, the visit turns into a nightmare.

The first Jurassic Park trilogy was released between 1993 and 2001. A second trilogy, renamed Jurassic World and led by Chris Pratt, was released between 2015 and 2022. The franchise also continues to expand on the small screen, as seen with the Netflix animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, which aired from 2020 to 2022.
