Added DiffLines:

* DenserAndWackier: The prior film had some comedy to it but was mostly a relatively realistic take on the dinosaur world, this film is much less serious about its portrayal of dinosaur behavior with some InterspeciesRomance and InterspeciesFriendship even between predators and prey along with a lot more slapstick humor.


Added DiffLines:

* LighterAndSofter: While still having some dark moments and intense scenes, this film is far more lighthearted than the previous film with talking dinosaurs and a much less tragic plot.

* StockDinosaurArchetypes: This sequel retains ''Therizinosaurus'' as an antagonist, but uses it in a different way with Slash, a juvenile who sides with a ''Deinonychus'' pack which is depicted as a gang who kidnaps infant dinosaurs to sacrifice them to a giant creature in the titular Fire Mountain. ''Tarbosaurus'' is also given a more heroic showcase with Speckles and his son, such as befriending a ''Saichania'', ''Monoclonius'', and ''Carnotaurus'', though in the case of the latter, only an infant, ''Blade '' is shown becoming friends with Jr. as a pack serve as intermediate adversaries for Speckles, Fang, and Cy defending a ''Pukyongosaurus'' nesting ground.

Ptero Soarer is now a redirect to Terror Dactyl which focuses more on the Prehistoric Monster aspect of pterosaurs. This is just an inaccurate pterosaur.


* PteroSoarer: A bipedal, naked pterosaur with extremely tattered-looking wings who can somehow still fly is a major character.

* AbusiveParents: Speckles, surprisingly enough, becomes this emotionally towards his son, calling him a "disgrace" for a ''Tarbosaurus'' when Junior fails to hunt down a ''Protoceratops''. This turns out to be the result of Speckles becoming afraid and desperate in looking after his son, given that his other children and Blue Eyes died back in the previous film and Junior is his only remaining family. Later on, he comes to accept that he went too far in disciplining his son during a conversation with Cy and Fang and promises to treat Junior better once they reunite.

* ParentsAsPeople: Or rather, ''Parents as Dinosaurs''; Speckles loves his son and would do anything to look after and protect him. However, he's haunted by the loss of his other two children and his mate, Blue Eyes, and the fear of losing his only remaining child puts a lot of stress and pressure on him, causing Speckles to act rash and harshly critical toward Junior when he fails to make a hunt, which predictably causes a strain in their relationship. Of course, Speckles becomes depressed when Junior is kidnapped and realizes his error after a pep talk, deciding that once he saves Junior, he'll make a better effort in raising his son.

After Junior is kidnapped by a pack of ''Deinonychus'', Speckles starts to become reflective over his past actions and a conversation with Cy and Fang ends with him conceding that he went too far in treating Junior harshly and wants to improve as a father.

Dino King 3D: Journey to Fire Mountain (a.k.a. Speckles the Tarbosaurus 2: The New Paradise) is a 2017 sequel to ''Animation/SpecklesTheTarbosaurus''.

Set a few years after the first film, the sequel focuses on the adventures of Junior, Speckles's only surviving child. Junior is fearful and timid and doesn't know how to hunt, much to his father's disappointment. Eventually, after a falling out with his dad, Junior runs away, but finds himself kidnapped by a pack of raptors who have been kidnapping baby dinosaurs as an offering to the "Beast of Fire Mountain": forcing Speckles to go out to rescue his son.

!!This film contains examples of:
* AnimalTalk: Played with. The tyrannosaurs, raptors and a tag-along ankylosaur are all able to converse, but the sauropods apparently speak another language heard only as bellowing noises.
* AnthropomorphicShift: While ''Animation/SpecklesTheTarbosaurus'' was a semi-realistic, documentary-style film with only the main character narrating, the sequel has most of the dinosaurs talk, with a much more cartoony art style.
* CallBack: Flashbacks show scenes from the original such as Speckles reminiscing about his late wife Blue Eyes or Junior's fear of water.
* CarnivoreConfusion: Zig-zagged: the carnivores are shown eating meat, but also associate with talking herbivores on occasion, and even save a herd of sauropods from a pack of ''Carnotaurus''. Justified with the ankylosaur sidekick, who Speckles dismisses as being too hard-skinned to eat anyway.
