    • Trivia
      Tsuburaya Productions decided on using puppets and stop-motion figures to realize the dinosaurs, as noted Japanese paleontologist Ikuo Kobata often criticized Tsuburaya's past suitmation portrayals of dinosaurs, feeling they rely on the semi-humanoid Godzilla mold. Here, they decided to go for more authentic portrayals of dinosaurs.
