Should The Jurassic Park Franchise Include More Animation?
Recent Live-Action Projects Haven’t Been Well-Received
For the most part, theJurassic Parkfranchise, which now consists of six films in total (with aJurassic Park 4now confirmedto release next year), has existed firmly in the realm of live-action. These live-action projects are the real money-makers of the franchise, withJurassic World Dominionmaking over $1 billion at the box office in 2022.

As seen in the chart above,the two animatedJurassic Worldshows sport some of the highest Rotten Tomatoes scores of the franchise. Considering a number of the feature film installments in the larger franchise haven’t been received well critically, there’s clearly something to be said for these animated projects telling new stories in a new medium. It’s worth noting, however, that bothJurassic World: Camp CretaceousandJurassic World: Chaos Theoryare shows aimed at child audiences, limiting their mass appeal.

There’s also an argument to be made, however, that the franchise already feels as if it’s been stretched too thin, and putting more animated projects into the works would only exaccerbate this. It remains to be seen how much of a futureJurassic Parkhas in animation, but there’s evidently more ofJurassic World: Chaos Theoryon the way.
