Dinotopia is an American television series of 2002—2003 based on the series of illustrated books of the same name by James Gurney, in which three men of the Scott family have crash-landed a plane and found themselves on a remote uncharted island where people live peacefully alongside dinosaurs.

The Scotts have settled at Waterfall City, capital of Dinotopia, which then is affected by the arrival of a group called the Outsiders.[1]

Production

The series was produced as a sequel to the miniseries Dinotopia broadcast in early 2002, and thirteen new episodes were filmed. None of the cast of the mini-series returned to their roles. Location shooting lasted for three months near Budapest, Hungary. Georgina Rylance played Marion Waldo, and Lisa Zane her friend Le Sage, leader of the Outsiders.[2] Michael Brandon, Jonathan Hyde, and Erik von Detten also star in the series.

A group of people known as Outsiders live outside the laws of Dinotopia and pose an additional danger aside from the featured Saurian antagonists, such as Pteranodon, Tyrannosaurus, and Postosuchus.

ABC first planned to launch the series in September 2002, but in the event waited until Thanksgiving. The network was disappointed by the 5.7 million viewers for Episode 1, but stated that it had been an "odd viewing night overall" and continued to broadcast the show.[3] However, in December the viewing figures had not improved enough to satisfy the ABC network, and the series was canceled,[4] with the result that only six of the thirteen episodes were aired on ABC, although all thirteen were broadcast in Europe in 2003.

Artisan Entertainment released the whole series on Region 1 DVD on January 20, 2004. This release was later discontinued and went out of print, but on March 15, 2016, Mill Creek Entertainment re-released the series on Region 1 DVD[5] and also on Region 2 DVD in Europe.
