[MJsGuardAngel]

not gonna lie, watching that rehearsal piece made tear up a little bit.

[devofauzanrahman]

all this hardwork is needed for the scene that only lasted 5 i'm feeling more appreciate thinking that scene:')

[Daftotron]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. This movie was fantastic, and your contribution to it is very much appreciated by Jurassic Park fans everywhere.

[AtlasBlizzard]

No wonder this was the most powerful scene in the movie.

Honestly for me the dying apatosaurus scene was the most emotional. I really did tear up watching it. You guys did a fantastic job.

I cried my eyes out when she gasped for air and just passed away. So real and beautiful!! Props to all the people who work so hard behind the scenes. They’re just as important as every other actor in the movies.

The Apatosaurus scene was the best looking scene in the whole movie.

[rahroy]

They do all of this and most people don’t even notice. Shout out to these guys

This is such a beautiful piece of work. I started to cry the moment I saw the first featurette for this movie that said the word "animatronic." it's the one of the fine arts of film making that Jurassic Park will never be the same without. God bless Stan Winston and the Legacy he left behind!

When the Apatosaurus was dying, it made the waterworks start in my eyes.

[JeliLiam]

So sad to see that there where not more animatronics, the ones they used looked absolutely fantastic and while the cgi in the movie was great, some scenes would have looked better with animatronics.

[Spiritprime]

I practically cried the whole time I was watching this because they created such an emotional scene with that puppet. It looked and felt so real.

[jurassicpark]

Stan Winston would be proud, great job guys!

The Apatosaurus scene in the movie almost had me crying. the way they made the animal look like it was in such deep pain combined with a sad version of the JP theme song in the background made me feel extremly emotional and nostalgic at the same time.

[blackhawkX]

That scene of the Apatosaurus almost made me cry, but i was in the cinema, i had to resist.

[Ladondorf]

I wish there were more animatronics in the movie, this Apatosaurus was the best looking thing in the movie. When I was watching it in theaters, I could clearly tell that it wasn't CG, it definitely stood out. : )

This Is One of the *greatest things* i've ever seen.
