Jurassic Park is a 1993 film directed by Steven Spielberg with music by John Williams. The story, based on a 1990 novel by Michael Crichton, involves a scientific endeavor to clone dinosaurs in the present day for the purposes of an amusement park. The film and book led to subsequent sequels dealing with the repercussions of the decisions made in the first story.
Mentions[]
- The Muppets are mentioned in Michael Crichton's novel on page 13 when Tina is remembering the sloths she saw at the zoo: "It looked like a Muppets character, and it seemed harmless."
References[]
- The impending arrival of a heavy-set Clifford in episode 110 of Muppets Tonight is signaled by a shaking, rippling water glass, much like in the film when the Tyrannosaurus-rex is approaching.
- A 1998 calendar of Muppet Parodies featured Kermit and Piggy in a variation of the film's poster called, "Jurasick Pork."
- In The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, the "rippling water" effect is used again (with a puddle) to signal the appearance of the Humongous Chicken.
- The same image was used as a parody poster for Disneyland's version of the Muppet*Vision 3D attraction, beginning in 2001.
- The arrival of a much heavier Clifford at the end of episode 110 of Muppets Tonight is signified by a vibrating glass of water, as in the first film.
- The Cookie's Crumby Pictures segment from Sesame Street Episode 4526 featured a Jurassic Park parody called "Jurassic Cookie" with Cookie Monster as John Hammond, two Anything Muppets as his grandkids (performed by Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Ryan Dillon), and a giant gingerbread T-Rex.
