( CNN ) -- The excitement over the newest `` Jurassic Park '' movie exploded a few weeks ago with a sneak peek at `` Jurassic World . '' This popular dinosaur park-gone-wrong series originated in the 1990s -- 1993 to be exact -- when Hollywood was on a veritable dinosaur movie binge . But let 's be honest : How many other '90s dinosaur movies would you want to see a 21st-century version of ? Here 's some to consider : . 'Adventures in Dinosaur City ' ( 1991 ) Nearly everyone has that one movie that they watched endlessly as a kid -- only to grow up and realize that the film was actually pretty cheesy . For many millennials , that film was `` Adventures in Dinosaur City , '' a 1991 movie about dinosaur-obsessed kids who fiddle with their scientist-parents ' TV experiment and get sucked into their favorite show about dinosaurs and cave men . It 's kind of like a cross between `` Honey , I Shrunk the Kids '' and `` Gremlins . '' 'Carnosaur ' ( 1993 ) Released a month before the first `` Jurassic Park '' movie , `` Carnosaur '' could n't compete with the multimillion-dollar `` Jurassic '' movie franchise that would eclipse it at the box office . Like `` Jurassic Park , '' `` Carnosaur '' had a plot based on a novel about scientifically re-creating dinosaurs . And , like `` Jurassic Park , '' there was also a `` Carnosaur 2 '' and `` Carnosaur 3 . '' But few people remember this trilogy -- so maybe it 's time for `` Carnosaur 4 . '' 'Prehysteria ! ' ( 1993 ) Here 's another '90s dinosaur fantasy movie that millennials may have a special fondness for , but it does n't quite live up to its hype . `` Prehysteria ! '' is about some children who get a hold of dinosaur eggs that hatch miniature dinosaurs . And like a lot of bad '90s movies , there were two sequels . 'Tammy and the T-Rex ' ( 1994 ) This movie -- described by one reviewer as `` horribly hilarious '' -- stars a young Denise Richards as Tammy and Paul Walker as her boyfriend whose brain is implanted in a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex . Yes , you read that right . And it just gets worse from there . Needless to say there 's never been another movie plot like `` Tammy and the T-Rex , '' and let 's all hope there never is . 'Theodore Rex ' ( 1995 ) It 's hard to believe that Whoopi Goldberg -- nominated for an Academy Award for her unforgettable role in `` The Color Purple '' ( 1985 ) and awarded an Oscar for best supporting actress in `` Ghost '' Hollywood was on a veritable dinosaur movie binge ( 1990 ) -- agreed to star in `` Theodore Rex , '' a comedy about a cop with a dinosaur for a partner . The story behind how Goldberg tried to get out of making the movie is much more interesting than the film . What 's your favorite D-list dinosaur movie ?
