StoryLine: Pilot Frank Scott takes his sons, half-brothers raised by different mothers, along on an island hopping holiday, but just after spotting an unchartered yet inhabited large isle, the plane crashes at sea and unconscious Frank presumably drowns. The characters have the same name as the original, but are entirely different individuals (different actors and different character personalities).
Their father, Frank Scott, decides to let Karl take over and falls asleep. Karl and David are flying on an airplane through a storm. Rather than the books, which were set in a Victorian era, the mini-series was set in modern times and follows the story of two half-brothers, Karl and David Scott. It's poorly acted and also breaks some of the lore Dinotopia is based on. in hindsight this is perhaps the most random thing i watched like 100 times as a kid. Dinotopia is a miniseries created by Hallmark.
Cast: David Thewlis, Katie Carr, Jim Carter The show is based on a great mini series (3 1.5 hour long movies) but this tv series is kind of awful.
