Unless the t-rex was running it was a giant physical model. Likely in this short zero to little cg was used. Hell I have the open matte version of the film where only digital shots are cropped, this one ain’t.

Cool, since you have that version of the film I’m sure you’ll be willing to share it?
I’m not trying to say the moon landing was fake, for fuck sake. I was calling out the OP using an example of trash CGI when much better was certainly possible.

Honestly, while the cgi shown is trash, it really isn’t all that bad considering what they had at the time for a kid’s show. They were producing a 30 minute episode a week on a budget that was surely a pittance, much less than 1/4 I’m sure, of a 2 hour film that we would consider really good at the time.

I didn’t mean to insult your show, I just don’t see why anyone would have been watching that when way more awesome things like Gargoyles existed at the same time.

Ha! I loved beast wars, but yes, there were a great many much better shows… but also as a nerdy kid with only rabbit ears and a once every two weeks trip to the library, I watched whatever I could.

Yup, that’s just the movie without the matte. Like all versions of the movie, it has the CGI scenes present. He said he has a version where those aren’t there. I’d love to see that.

That’s the exact version of the movie the poster was referring to, in which the practical scenes appear in an open-matte square frame while the CGI scenes are in widescreen. Scroll to exactly 20 minutes in and see.
