Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Season 3 (2021)



The Camp Cretaceous kids have decided that it's time to stop waiting for someone to rescue them from Isla Nublar, and find a way off the island themselves.

Of course, working out that that they need to escape is a lot easier than actually coming with a workable plan for how to do so, even before one considers that the island is still infested with dinosaurs.  And it's about to become even more complicated.  The Indominus Rex was not the first experimental creature developed by Jurassic World's scientists, and their earlier creation  - one even they deemed too dangerous to use - has now escaped into the wild.

It's a good thing these kids have had plenty of practice at staying alive, because they're going to need every trick in their arsenal to make it out with their skins intact!

This third season of Camp Cretaceous is solid stuff; up on the level of the first series after a slightly less impressive (but still pretty decent) sophomore season.  It may be an animated show for kids, but it avoids sloppy writing and always has the characters treat the situation as serious.  This latter element in particular is an important part of maintaining a sense of menace to the dinosaur threat.  It remains my favourite piece of Jurassic World / Park media.
