The popularity of big reptiles

kw: observations, popular culture, dinosaurs, lists

I'm reading yet another book based on a spin-off of Jurassic Park, which I'll be reviewing in a day or two. It got me thinking about the staying power of the human-dinosaur connection.

I did a little searching on the web, and herewith, some of the most popular J.P. spin-offs:
  1. Veloci-Mates on YouTube
  2. Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for Xbox
  3. Warpath: Jurassic Park
  4. Primeval TV series (which has spin-offs of its own)
  5. Primeval film, which is about a crocodile, not a dinosaur
  6. King Kong (2005), with its extended sequences of dinosaur stampedes and fights
  7. Dinotopia books and films
