While Avatar and Jurassic Park might not seem like they have a lot in common, both blockbusters have suspiciously similar sounding monsters.
While it might seem like the Avatar franchise and the Jurassic Park movies don’t have much creative DNA in common, one surprising detail from the 2009 movie was borrowed from the 1993 blockbuster. When director James Cameron’s Avatar arrived in cinemas in 2009, the massive hype around the much-delayed movie led many critics to dismiss the blockbuster.
Avatar Reused Jurassic Park’s Raptor Calls However, as suspiring as it may seem, Avatar did actually borrow one production detail from Jurassic Park. The dire horse’s cries in the original Avatar are the same audio as the raptor calls from Jurassic Park, a squawk that viewers have isolated in the years since for comparison. When it came to innovative CGI, James Cameron’s franchise created the Na’vi and their home planet of Pandora from scratch.
Avatar's Thanator Sounds Like Jurassic Park's T-Rex While viewers might notice the dire horse’s similarity to a raptor upon a re-watch, this is not the only subtle instance of Avatar borrowing from Jurassic Park’s impressive audio library. The Thanator is a mighty monster that even the Na’vi fear, so the beast needed an appropriately bone-rattling roar. The perfect sound effect came from Jurassic Park’s mighty T-rex, which lends its instantly recognizable roar to the Thanator.
