Dinotopia	comment	The tale of a mythical lost continent, on which resides an idealistic Utopian society ruled over jointly by dinosaurs and humans who have become marooned there over time. New arrivals are taught the ways of pacifism by the Dinotopians and are integrated into society.The book features gorgeously detailed illustrations, courtesy of author/illustrator James Gurney, previously best known for his book covers, animation background art, and especially for his incredibly detailed illustrations of historical cultures in National Geographic. A pair of young adult novels have been written for the series courtesy of Alan Dean Foster, along with a series of children's novels by various genre-fiction authors, a fourth Gurney-written/illustrated prequel that was packaged with a board game, a computer game, a Miniseries co-produced by ABC and Hallmark Entertainment, a short-lived television series based, in turn, upon the miniseries, a direct-for-video animated film, and, inevitably, a few video games.

Dinotopia / int_1049848f	type	Aliens Speaking English
Dinotopia / int_1049848f	comment	It should be noted that by "dinosaur language", the first book meant a universal language for all dinosaur species; something very close to the definition of Animal Talk except, as noted above, specific to your Linnean classification. (In other words, imagine humans talking with cats talking with whales talking with aardvarks talking with fruitbats talking with desmostylans talking with tapirs talking with... and it's easy to see why Gurney retconned this.) While many media related to the franchise simply portrays the dinos and extinct animals as being able to speak English flawlessly, the Hallmark miniseries depicts most dinos and extinct animals as being able to communicate only in grunts and roars, but otherwise capable of understanding English, while Troodons and Dimorphodons are still shown as being able to speak in human languages.

Dinotopia / int_121865ac	comment	Noble Savage: Stinktooth the Giganotosaurus protects Arthur and his friends from a Tyrannosaurus after he saves his son, and even helps Arthur stop Lee Crabb from escaping the island. The "savage" part comes from the fact that he's still a carnosaur that lives outside of civilization and presumably eats non-seafood meat. There is a pack of Tyrannosaurs in the Blackwood Flats that only eat carrion. Dinotopia Lost has a pair of Tyrannosaurs themselves turning to this in order to save their offspring from a band of pirates from whom Will Dennison is attempting to rescue an ornithomimid family.

He's a minor figure in the street scene◊ in Pooktook, the man standing to the right of the Centrosaurus with the drink-dispensing panniers. He has a child riding on his shoulders, curly-toed shoes on his feet, and the most detailed facial features on that particular spread, especially considering that there are other passers-by standing closer to the foreground. It's justified, though. In Imaginative Realism, Gurney reveals that he often has to act as his own actor/model when there's none handy.

Dinotopia / int_12f078f3	type	Artistic License – Linguistics
Dinotopia / int_12f078f3	comment	Artistic License â€“ Linguistics: Early in the story it's established that English (or any other language that Arthur can speak, such as French) is not the lingua franca of Dinotopia — Sylvia doesn't speak it, and on arriving at the Hatchery Arthur and Will can't find anyone who can understand them until they meet an old man descended from an English dolphinback 15 generations ago (which Arthur calculates to about 400 years), giving him a strange dialect that still makes it difficult to communicate, while few if any of the dinosaurs speak it at all (Bix certainly doesn't, despite being a dinosaur translator). Yet when we're introduced to the dinosaur alphabet (an array of footprints pointed in different directions) it's, by sheer coincidence, a set of 37 different sets correlating exactly to the A-Z alphabet, the numbers 0-9, and (oddly enough) a "?".

Dinotopia / int_144d31b1	comment	Most Writers Are Human: Very oddly applied, even leading to some uncomfortable Fridge Logic. Dolphins (who bring shipwrecked humans to the island) and humans are the most prominent modern-day species on the island. We are assured that there's something about humans. Yeah... Also, according to the text only ten percent of the Dinotopia population is human, but the illustrations suggest otherwise. Then again, the human narrator would naturally be drawn to the human population centers. Loitering too long in "wilder" regions like the Rainy Basin would prove hazardous to one's health.

Dinotopia / int_27a58d30	type	Carnivore Confusion
Dinotopia / int_27a58d30	comment	Carnivore Confusion: The series is one of the few works involving Talking Animal characters that openly addresses this issue and has, relatively speaking, a well thought-out approach to the problem. All carnivores have switched to a diet of fish and it's implied that those who can (most notably humans) have gone entirely over to veganism. The twist is that some animals refused to make the change and have exiled themselves to the Rainy Basin and Backwood Flats, where they live as their wild ancestors did (similar to The Wild in Kevin & Kell). Interestingly, this is treated by the major characters as more of an alternate lifestyle choice than a break of the rules and such characters are not vilified as one would expect. At least, not in the book. The movie is another story... In one of the not-quite-Canon spin-off novels, a city-dwelling herbivore was shown journeying through the Rainy Basin as she was about to die, providing the carnivores with food. This act was referred to in almost religious terms, with the dinosaurs having graveyards where they go to die, and the carnivores come to get whatever the day's take is. An educated human marvels the efficiency of the arrangement—too many that are too big would be a massive labor to bury or burn, and he doesn't know it but the arrangement keeps the carnivores unmotivated to wander outside their traditional territories—they still hunt and kill if they get the chance, but they don't 'need' to. Another of the novels has a similar set-up in the mountains where local herbivores in the process of dying also offer their bodies to the local saber-toothed cats as part of a peace treaty. To be sure, the assurance that fish are kosher becomes a bit troubling when it becomes increasingly clear in Journey to Chandara that any species with more brains than a sponge can communicate with each-other... Additionally, leathers, skins, and furs were seen in use by the Dinotopians (although in the original book Will and Sylvia were given coats made from fur that animals had shed after climbing the mountain). Readers had to wait until Journey to Chandara for the explanation: Arthur Dennison is given a new journal bound in the skin of an Intellectual Animal "whose dying wish was to donate his body to science". 'Dinotopia Lost' brings up that using bones and leather and the like of the deceased can be seen as a way of honoring them and incorporating them into life after death.

Dinotopia / int_30763ed8	comment	Eternal English: Thoroughly averted in the beginning of the first book. Arthur Denison notes that when a character who speaks English is produced to translate, his English is "archaic". Gurney's other books don't feature fresh dolphinbacks, but Dinotopia Lost and a lot of the junior novels do, and they play it completely straight. Somewhat justified in Dinotopia Lost, as the pirates mostly seem to come from English-speaking nationalities (largely British a Jamaican, an American, etc. with the few that aren't having learned it). Will still has to provide translation services, and it's specifically noted that the human Dinotopian language is "Latin-derived".

Dinotopia / int_372bc105	comment	Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: On the far end of the idealist side. In Dinotopia Lost a band of cutthroat pirates are actually convinced to give up their former ways and reform after seeing the majesty of Dinotopia. Justified by character development: several of the pirates, especially the first mate, are established over the course of the story to be tired of piracy, or to have been forced into that life by outside circumstances. The more observant also notice that the era of traditional piracy is ending, and so are open to an alternative to being killed in combat or hung. So when Captain Blackstrap tries to lead them into a battle against a dozen bulletproof sauropods, the first mate decides enough is enough, and begins rallying the other pirates. Only Blackstrap and his two most bloodthirsty crewmen refuse to bend. They end up being eaten by tyrannosaurs.

Dinotopia / int_52748705	comment	Bamboo Technology: Indeed, the residents appear to be technophobes to a degree, relying entirely on man-power (so to speak; it's just as likely to be crocodile-power or woolly rhino-power or whatever). They don't shun wheels, bellows, and pulley systems, and some of what they have is fairly sophisticated — diving machines, hot air balloons, a kind of keyboard that Deinonychus types on with its feet — but they're rather averse to strutters. Given the events of The World Beneath and First Flight, it's more than justified. There's some degree of gadgetry in Chandara, including what seems to be a gramophone, but they're regarded as curiosities. It seems to depend on whether or not a particular technology can do something a dinosaur cannot do just as well; Arthur notes in his journal that while his students and peers at the University aren't at all interested in steam engines, they took great interest to the sewing machine.

Dinotopia / int_557a31ce	comment	Actual Pacifist: Most Dinotopians, human and saurian alike, abhor the use of violence. There is even a passage in the Code of Dinotopia that says "Weapons are enemies, even to their owners". Not all on the island strictly adhere to this rule, though. Some inhabitants even have Natural Weapons, so they have to be careful about how they use it. In Lost City, the protagonists encounter a lost civilization of Troodon and are shocked to learn the raptors still keep weapons and maintain an army (as justification, Troodon are believed to be pack hunters). However, the Troodon treat this more as a Martial Pacifist mental discipline than something they actually expect to use in battle (akin to how many martial arts practitioners regard their skills).

When huge pterosaurs came and rescued Arthur and Crabb at the end of The World Beneath, these were identified as Quetzalcoatlus northropi, and looked distinct from the skybaxes also present. While the skybaxes are identified as Quetzalcoatlus (technically the made-up species Quetzalcoatlus skybax) from the first time Arthur sees one, the reason for there being two different species is likely because, when Guerney was illustrating the first book, fossils of Quetzalcoatlus were sketchy at best and some of the existing illustrations at the time were wildly inaccurate, so using a made-up species circumnavigated this issue. The Q. northropies were probably included for safety's sake.

Dinotopia / int_7ec8506d	comment	Animal Talk: There's some jazz about a "dinosaur language" early on in the first book. Then the prospective Skybax riders are told that, because pterosaurs are not dinosaurs, their mounts will not be able to understand the dino language. Because whether you can understand a certain language depends on your biological classification. Even though humans and other non-dino species can understand dino language. Gurney has, understandably, Retconned this little ball of confusion into oblivion, and in the later books all of the prehistoric animals talk like humans. In Journey to Chandra, Arthur's able to understand small pterosaurs chattering, and it's written out like English. The idea behind the dinosaur language was sound, at least at first. The first book stated fairly early that most dinos and creatures speak their own language because they lack the physical structures to speak human languages. Protoceratops, Troodon and the smaller pterosaurs are the few exceptions, having more parrot-like vocal cords that allow them to pronounce human languages: it's why the Dimorphodons are used to relay messages and why Bix is an ambassador, as she can speak several languages. The skybaxes have different vocal structures again, and so have their own language. A side-plot of the book Windchaser is the that the eponymous skybax is the first of his kind to learn human languages, and becoming a translator for his species. It should be noted that by "dinosaur language", the first book meant a universal language for all dinosaur species; something very close to the definition of Animal Talk except, as noted above, specific to your Linnean classification. (In other words, imagine humans talking with cats talking with whales talking with aardvarks talking with fruitbats talking with desmostylans talking with tapirs talking with... and it's easy to see why Gurney retconned this.) While many media related to the franchise simply portrays the dinos and extinct animals as being able to speak English flawlessly, the Hallmark miniseries depicts most dinos and extinct animals as being able to communicate only in grunts and roars, but otherwise capable of understanding English, while Troodons and Dimorphodons are still shown as being able to speak in human languages.

Dinotopia / int_9c1f758a	comment	Kill It with Fire: Arctium longevus, or Trilobur, has periodically been struck with a blight that killed it before it could produce seeds and caused it to emit a poison from its roots in return (which kills off other Triloburs and similar plants), preventing Trilobur from ever growing in that area again; the only way to solve the problem was by burning, which destroyed the poison in the soil and made the area safe for Trilobur to grow again.

Done much more severely to Oriana, who had been Arthur's traveling companion and budding Love Interest in The World Beneath. Neither of them are even mentioned at the end, when Arthur's reflecting over the places he's seen on the way. Justified, as Chandara is closed off to outsiders and Emperor Khan only allowed Arthur and Bix to come if they took no others. Lee Crabb, despite being directly responsible for altering the entire journey in Journey to Chandara, makes only two appearances in the entire book.

He has written extensively in his blog and in his nonfiction book Imaginative Realism about how he himself has struggled to avoid this. However, a few of the spinoff novels and each of the films have featured animal characters that are indeed anthropomorphic or nearly so (the TV movie and series goes ahead and gives an animal character human-like hands). This may be one of the key factors in the Canon Discontinuity. While there are a few feathered dinosaurs in Journey to Chandra who appear to have human-like thumbs, but this is a pretty common mistake in paleoart.

In fact, it's arguable whether he even makes it to that level, since most of his character flaws involve him being greedy and malcontented rather than him actually treating any other characters particularly poorly. Of course, considering the books' heavy use of Rousseau Was Right, it's not surprising that the worst character is pretty tame. His descendant Cyrus Crabb in the miniseries, however, is a serial thief, assaults Zippo and dumps him in a canal in a bag, sabotages Karl's attempt to escape Dinotopia by boat, and maroons Karl and David in the World Beneath at gunpoint after getting them to help him load a pile of sunstones into the submarine.

Dinotopia / int_e11b003d	comment	Translation Convention: In the first book, the main characters have to learn the Dinotopian language, but it's all presented as English. Same may go for why all the dinosaurs are referred to by their genus names. Lee Crabb makes it clear that there is no translation convention going on for Dinotopia's name, though. The World Beneath does the same for Tyrannosaurus rex.

But before that, in the penultimate chapter, Windchaser the Skybax informs Hugh that he's made a critical error in his assumption about the "man", resulting in the trope coming into play...

Dinotopia / int_eb2195d9	type	Rousseau Was Right
Dinotopia / int_eb2195d9	comment	Rousseau Was Right: The books unapologetically show that with the guiding wisdom and influence of enlightened dinosaurs, humans can become nice, peaceful, and capable of co-existing with each other. This also goes for most newcomers to the island. The only "bad" guy grew up off of the island, and he's relatively tame for a villain. The biggest example comes from Dinotopia Lost, where most of a crew a cutthroat pirates pull a Heelâ€“Face Turn and integrate into Dinotopian society after seeing how nice life on the island can be.

Dinotopia / int_eb8e4fa8	comment	Despite being the primary recurring villain in the main series, Lee Crabb never goes past Jerkass in terms of vileness. In fact, it's arguable whether he even makes it to that level, since most of his character flaws involve him being greedy and malcontented rather than him actually treating any other characters particularly poorly. Of course, considering the books' heavy use of Rousseau Was Right, it's not surprising that the worst character is pretty tame.

However, the Troodon treat this more as a Martial Pacifist mental discipline than something they actually expect to use in battle (akin to how many martial arts practitioners regard their skills).

Dinotopia / int_eeaadd10	type	From the Latin "Intro Ducere"
Dinotopia / int_eeaadd10	comment	From the Latin "Intro Ducere": Lee Crabb points out that, in the original Greek, mashing the terms "dinosaur" ("terrible lizard") and "utopia" ("no-place", originally as in a place that doesn't exist but has shifted to mean a place too good to be real) together just results in a "terrible place". He uses this to help justify his view that Dinotopia is a Crapsaccharine World. (That said, "terrible" has undergone language drift; the Greek deinos meant something like "fearfully great" or "awe-inspiring" — which does describe Dinotopia — while Crabb uses the modern meaning of "terrible" as "really bad", meaning his own argument undermines his point.)

The customary response by Dinotopians in reply to newcomers' queries on how to get home is that if it was possible to get off the island by sea, they probably would have heard of a Tunisia-sized tropical volcanic island with dinosaurs on it before they arrived.

Hammered painfully into the ground by First Flight, which also featured an egregious example of Rock Beats Laser. Ironic in that our protagonist is a scientist. Really, it's only technology that is bad. Even then, it's more like "Unnecessary technology is bad" and that's mainly because it made humans decide that they were superior to everyone else and plan to exterminate the real dinosaurs and replace them with subservient machines that could do the same thing.

Dinotopia / int_f722f635	comment	Great Offscreen War: Since modern Dinotopian society has given up warfare entirely, any armed conflict depicted will have happened in the past. In First Flight, we see a grand total of one (relatively small) battle between the first Pterosaur Riders and a scorpion-like strutter. However, Journey to Chandara mentions a much larger conflict that occurred between Poseidos and the mainland during that timeframe. The re-release of First Flight fleshes this out somewhat. Hand of Dinotopia reveals that this is exactly what happened the last time contact was made by the outside world. River Quest also has a mural depicting a war between the carnosaurs of the Rainy Basin and the humans.
