- TriviaThe live action scenes and a majority of the stop motion effects were all filmed in 1994, but David Allen, the director, had passed away due to cancer in 1999. The studio that was making this movie, Full Moon Studios, was also having financial issues so they had to keep postponing the production of the movie, until they ran out of money and had to shelf it. In 2019, after an online fundraising campaign, the original effects artist, Chris Endicott, returned to complete the remaining stop motion sequences.
- Alternate versionsTwo edits were created, one for general release, and "The David Allen Version," which was compiled for home video. Running 7 minutes longer, it features several unfinished scenes in which storyboarded creatures are animated into the filmed footage. Notable scenes include an extended sequence in which the group tries to evade a dinosaur-like creature, a more extensive flashback scene in the UFO, and numerous additional moments with the creatures at the film's climax.

Featured review
We still enjoy stop motion, both the old ones from the childhood of cinema and the new ones.
Personally, I like stop motion much more than computer special effects because it is more unreal and beautiful.
The most valuable part of the movie "the primevals" is the stop motion, followed by the story, and a bit of Leon Russom.
What bothers me is the cold, emotionless and clumsy performances of the actors (except Leon Russom).
Apparently, among the actors of the primevals, the only one who took the movie seriously was Leon Russom.
At the end of the movie, I wished that all the actors in the movie would be killed (it would be better if I killed them myself) so that the movie would have a pleasant ending.
And for a lovely and childish movie, in today's world of serious movies that hit the human brain like a hammer, I say: Thank you David Allen.
