Dinotopia premiered on ABC on May 12, 2002. Dinotopia evolved from a series of fanciful art prints featuring dinosaurs and humans in a variety of different scenes. James Gurney's vision then expanded into a series of books and novelizations, which fully realized a fantasyland where dinosaurs and humans coexist, sharing a unique language and code of ethics. This mini-series is about two troubled brothers who are marooned on a hidden continent called Dinotopia. What they discover is a mysterious and remarkable world where dinosaurs and humans live together in peace and harmony, influenced very little by the outside world.
