Summary/Abstract: This article is a reflection on the animations of the Lego Jurassic World series, part of the Jurassic Park franchise. The analysis is undertaken in the context of the subject and significance of live-action films about dinosaurs resurrected thanks to futuristic science (to which the animations refer in the storyline), but also in relation to the cultural role of Lego bricks and the problem of representation, which in this case is particularly complex. The discussion of individual issues is accompanied by a reflection on the way in which childhood is understood in contemporary culture, in the face of its characteristic fascinations and anxieties.
