Trivia / Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur

• Accidentally-Correct Writing: The gang referring to Cole the Tarbosaurus as a Tyrannosaurus isn't really that far off, since not only is it a member of both Tyrannosauridae and Tyrannosaurinae, the same family and subfamily as T. Rex itself, nowadays some scientists think Tarbosaurus could actually be synonymous with Tyrannosaurus.
• Defictionalization: A new dinosaur species discovered in China was named Eubrontes Nobitai, after Nobita, the same year the movie had it's long-awaited Chinese release.
• Release Date Change: Was among the many movies affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. It was postponed from its March 6, 2020 release to August 7, 2020.
• Science Marches On:
  • The movie sets out to correct many of the outdated paleontological concepts seen in both the 1979 and 2006 movies, particularly birds being dinosaurs and many new dinosaurs discovered in Japan.
  • The film portrays Spinosaurus with shorter legs and a kink in its sail to correspond with the more complete Spinosaurus skeleton discovered in 2014, which would have made it the most accurate the dinosaur has ever appeared in animation and films. But alas, this depiction also became outdated, with the 2020 discovery that Spinosaurus had a paddle-shaped tail.
