I try not to care overmuch about what Disney does with its theme parks, but them disassembling DinoLand USA for an Indiana Jones ride makes me genuinely mad
Orlando theme parks are definitely a subject where people on the internet with no actual information like to shout things authoritatively. But allegedly, the cast of Sue at Disney World is getting trashed, rather than sold or repurposed? blogmickey.com/2026/02/dino...
"Dino-Sue" Marked for Demolition as DAK DinoLand Demo Kicks Into High Gear
Walt Disney World appears to have marked Dino-Sue for demolition as DinoLand USA is transformed into a Tropical Americas land

Archaeocursor asiaticus for #DrawDinosDaily here taking a sit-down from all the running. I added the little head portrait after I decided I wanted to get deeper into speculative head wattles for this guy. Ornamentation like that is common in modern cursorial birds.

Gary Staab is making an alarmingly large bison family that will travel among a number of museums this March. Some stops are only 1 day, so mark your calendars. www.si.edu/newsdesk/rel...

The Xfinity Jurassic Park ads have cemented two things for me.
First, Universal does not care about dinosaurs at all.
Second, the Jurassic Park franchise has been hollowed out and turned into a vessel for mindless advertising and celebrity worship. The JP brand means Jeff Goldblum, not dinosaurs.

The Rite of Spring is such a spectacular sequence, easily the highpoint of Fantasia even if I put aside my biases. It's a comprehensive, spellbinding look into an imagining of the past that never was. Anyone interested in the history of palaeontology simply must watch it.
The Rite of Spring segment from Fantasia goes so hard for being 86 years old.

Finally, I can break silence! I did a lot of creature design work for this show (collaborating, of course, with the production team) and think the animals are looking pretty good here! This was a lot of fun to work on - will be watching on Mar. 6!
