Jurassic Park is a film that was made in 1993, directed by the famous movie director Steven Spielberg. Jurassic Park is based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton, which was also widely popular upon release. In many ways, the Jurassic Park movie is responsible for the resurgence in dinosaur culture in the 21st century, including renewed interest among kids and toy manufacturers. There were numerous jurassic park toys that hit the market after the movie was made, including dinosaur figurines, board games, computer games, play sets, and dinosaur costumes. Jurassic Park toys and merchandise products are still widely available over much of the world, and can be purchased from large toy stores and online retailers.

Jurassic Park starred Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Martin Ferrero, and Bob Peck. The film is located on the fictional Isla Nublar near Costa Rica in Central America, where a billionaire philanthropist has created an amusement park of cloned dinosaurs. There are a number of moral overtones to the story, which many people see as an example of why people should not manipulate the genetic makeup of other creatures. Along with its famous director, its impressive star cast, and its moral story, Jurassic Park is well known for its landmark use of computer generated imagery. Many of the positive reviews were based around this use of computer effects, which is also why so many kids fell in love with dinosaurs all over again.

There are two sequels to the movie Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, released on May 23, 1997, and Jurassic Park III, released on July 18, 2001. While neither of these films had the same impact as the original, they did help to further cement dinosaur culture among the children and adults of the world. Jurassic Park toys and games are still widely available on the Internet and through large toy stores, and can be easily purchased for children of all ages.
