A Bunch Of Kids Reshot The WHOLE ‘Jurassic Park’ Movie Thirteen Years Ago And It’s Just Been Released Online

Not a trailer. Not a parody. The whole damn thing.

There is some truly wonderful dinosaur content bobbing up to the surface of the internet since Jurassic World was released the other week. The ‘Jurassic Kittens’ photo series is still going bonkers, and the Jurassic World trailer reshot with dachshunds is absolutely worth your time.

But all those efforts have been blown out of the water by this:

I can’t stress this enough: this isn’t a fan-made trailer, or a parody, or a quick spinoff. This is a 100-minute long movie; every single scene and line from Jurassic Park, meticulously redone and reshot by a bunch of kids. You could quite conceivably watch this with the audio from the original Jurassic Park on in the background and it would match up. “Welcome to Jurassic Park” said by a kid wearing a fake Colonel Sanders beard made of cotton wool? Check. A tiny park ranger pointing a toy gun at a shaking bush, only to be devoured by a plastic Velociraptor? You got it, buddy. Jeff Goldblum’s creepy-as-hell laugh done by a seven-year-old in Dad’s sunglasses? RIGHT HERE. RIGHT. HERE.

“During the summer of 2002, my cousins, siblings, and I recreated Jurassic Park scene-for-scene using only a hi-8 camcorder, a collection of Jurassic Park actions figures, and the best costumes no money can buy,” the video description read. “Since our Jurassic Park summer, Steven and David (Hammond and Grant, respectively) started a creative studio called Cinesaurus.”

Cinesaurus, by the way, have since been responsible for such marvellous creations as Adventure Time: The Gritty Reboot and this amazing parody of the iPhone 5 launch, so those filmmaking skills have been put to pretty good use.
