*** The plant was evidently potent enough that even Plio’s tiny hand applying some pained him sharply. That said, Bruton probably didn’t apply any more to himself since he also lacks opposable thumbs. But he was touched by the gesture especially after he called Plio and her family parasites.

** Plenty of adoptive children call their adoptive family by their first name. It’s perfectly normal, even for those who have been raised by birth by someone who’s not their biological parent. Zini calling Yar by his name is just a convenience for the audience. Zini is an unusual case since for years I thought he was Plio’s son, but he’s apparently meant to be her brother. The characters are pretty minor and Zini never seems to regard Yar as his dad like how Suri regards Plio as her mom. Guess Yar had another son much later in life. He did put the prime in primate!

*** The dinosaurs' extinction is a ForegoneConclusion anyway, though, since...well, you know. The point of the happy ending is that they didn't get brutally killed and eaten by the carnotaurs, not that they or their (distant) descendants won't ever go gently into the night and die out anyway, any more than the eventual death of any other character by old age negates the happy ending of their own story. Cinderella and Prince Charming ''will'' die someday, but that doesn't mean they didn't live happily ever after 'til the end of their days.

* I know since this is a movie it’s probably not meant to be taken seriously, but how do the dinosaurs know the scientific name of ''Carnotaurus''? Its name was given by humans many years later, yet the characters refer to them as “Carnotaurs”.

** TranslationConvention; they're calling them and every other species whatever grunts, calls, or bellows in "iguanodonese" translate to "Carnotaurus," etc., but it's "dubbed" into English for the sake of the viewers. In a more meta-sense, it might be to reinforce that these are supposed to be real animals as opposed to assuming that the average viewer, even dedicated dinosaur fans, can identify all the species in the film--at the time the film was released, ''Carnotaurus'' was still relatively obscure. (In fact, it was chosen ''because'' it was obscure--the villains were, predictably, originally going to be ''Tyrannosaurus''; this is why the carnotaurs are oversized.)
