* OrphanedReference: The 'Cretaceous Cut' (the dialog-free version) of The Movie leaves in a few gags that make no sense without dialog:
** In the theatrical cut, Alex explains some ''Gorgosaurus'' stats to the viewer with close up shots and diagrams (and he keeps getting distracted by its tiny arms). The visuals for this scene are left in the Cretaceous Cut.
** The film gets inexplicably re-wound when Patchi falls in the river (originally, Alex questions Patchi's claim of diving in to save Juniper)
** There is a close up of one of the knocked-out gorgosaurus teeth (which becomes the fossil in the present day scenes)
** The closing credits pop music starts to FadeIn and is interrupted by the gorgosaurus fourth wall break, but the actual credits with that song have been cut.

** The European ''Utahraptor'' wound up being one due to never being given a sufficient explanation for being [[MisplacedWildlife geographically misplaced]] by the narrator. This was meant to reference a controversial theory that Early Cretaceous Europe and North America shared the same dinosaur genera, based on the apparent presence of ''Iguanodon'', ''Polacanthus'' and ''Hypsilophodon'' on both sides of the Atlantic (a case of ScienceMarchesOn), however, in the actual episode "Giant of the Skies", the only indicator that this is the case is ''Iguanodon'' and ''Polacanthus'' being present in both North America and Europe, and yet we only see ''Utahraptor'' in Europe, and the flying ''Ornithocheirus'' having to cross the Atlantic further muddies things.

** ''Polacanthus'' was just a typical Early Cretaceous nodosaur and known from fairly incomplete material. Following a boom of new early nodosaur taxa being described from the late '90s onward and from more complete material (most famously its cousin ''Gastonia''), it likely would have faded into obscurity if not for its inclusion in "Giant of the Skies". By extension, the episode is the main reason anyone has heard about ''Hoplitosaurus'' and ''Dakotadon'', as they were the basis for the American ''Polacanthus'' and ''Iguanodon'' shown in the episode respectively.
