- Movie Goof (factual errors): The main characters are iguanodons. Iguanodons actually had hard beaks for mouths, except when the film makers decided to have the dinos speak, the beaks just didn't work well with speech movements. So fleshy lips were modeled over the beaks for speech, and the beaks underneath act like pseudo-teeth in the final film.
- The elderly Brachiosaurus named Baylene was initially meant to be a much younger male Brachiosaurus named Sorbus who was described by the makers as a sort of Chris Farley-like character who had a fear of heights and so kept his head close to the ground. The character was revised to become Baylene, who, according to her official background story, was the last of a group of elderly Brachiosaurus.
- At an official $130 million (unoffically $200 million) it is the most expensive movie released in 2000.
- Movie Goof (factual errors): The Carnotaurs seen in the film were much bigger than their real life counterparts. In realty the were smaller than Iguanodon's (Aladar's species) whereas here they are made as large as some of the biggest Dinosaur predators (like Tyrannosaurus). This is presumably done for dramatic effect and wouldn't be the first time such a change has been made (the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park).
