* WhatCouldHaveBeen: James Gurney has published a non-fiction book in 2009, ''Imaginative Realism'', which serves as both a behind-the-scenes look at his painting method and a collection of his lesser known art. Several of the newly-published pieces practically beg for elaborations. Generally speaking, there were going to be a '''lot''' more ''Dinotopia'' spin-offs including a {{Theme Park|s}}, a line of dolls and toys, and a theatrical animated film (which, from the looks of it, would have been made by people who bothered to read the book).

* DawsonCasting: In the miniseries, the main characters' very teenage behaviour (throwing tantrums, disdaining authority, showing poor foresight) drives a significant portion of the plot. The actors who played them at the time of filming were 25 and 29, respectively.

*** Come 2022, a new study has thrown even more of a wet blanket on the Skybaxes' portrayal. It turns out azhdarchids like ''Quetzalcoatlus'', despite their size, were not long distance flyers and spent most of their lives on the ground, taking to the air only to escape predators.
** The ''Deinocheirus'' from the first book are portrayed as generic-looking ornithomimids. More complete specimens in 2014 have revealed they were much more bizarre in appearance namely having a hump, a hadrosaur-like skull, and a build more similar to therizinosaurs (so much for their portrayal as the equivalent of race-horses).

** The portrayal of ''Oviraptor'' as an egg nurse instead of a notorious egg devourer. The latter was the common image we had of this animal at the time the first book came out ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as you can easily tell by the genus name]]), because its fossil remains were found near a nest supposedly from ''Protoceratops''. It later turned out that the specimen in question wasn't a thief caught red-handed, it was a brooding parent.
