On the other hand, that doesn't mean much since they don't interact with the humans at all and don't even seem to know they're there, and the parents are rightfully worried about what a [[MamaBear mother dinosaur]] could do even before the ''Allosaurus'' shows up.

* BattleAmongstTheFlames: Downplayed and justified.

The flames are small tinder fires though except for the campfire though, averting the usual giant flames the trope uses and explaining why no one is asphyxiating from smoke.

''Jurassic World: Battle at Big Rock'' is the 2019 short film sequel to ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', and the first short film in the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise. Directed by ''Film/JurassicWorld'' director Colin Trevorrow, who wrote the screenplay along with Emily Carmichael. It was released in the USA on FX and online on September 16th, 2019.

A year after the events of ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', the USA is still trying to get used to sporadic dinosaur sightings and incursions in the rural areas of the western states. While a family is enjoying the outdoors at a trailer park with some neighbors, dinner is interrupted when a mother and baby ''Nasutoceratops'' begin scouring the campground looking for food. The situation becomes both more complicated and far more dangerous when a similarly hungry ''Allosaurus'' appears from the dark woods looking at both the ceratopsians and humans as a potential meal.

The film was uploaded online on various platforms, with a Youtube link available [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7kbVvpOGdQ here]].
