The art of characters for the original title known as 쥬라기원시전
Status: Partially Found
The Jurassic War (also known as Wars of the Jurassic Period) animated series was made in 2002 with joint efforts of “RGP France” and a South Korean studio “Raon Pictures” (라온픽처스), directed by Lee Ki-young (총 감독) and Regis Ghezelbash, a person later on known in France for his work at building bridges with other countries professionals[1].
It is a series about the girl Niu who lives in the Jurassic Period of history, when dinosaurs were alive (and talking), — the princess of her small elf tribe, gifted with connection to magical powers. She's going on a quest for elemental relics with the aid of a silent boy Zar and a cowardly dinosaur Imp to stop the villain who wants to steal them first for their power. Niu is quite arrogant and bossy because of her royal blood, but she has to learn to respect nature and people around her to succeed in her quest and save her home from evil.
Production
The show was loosely inspired by a StarCraft-like video game titled “Jurassic Wars 2”. The French studio was sponsoring the main production for the series (25% of overall funds) and responsible for distribution in Europe, while the Korean studio was working on the product itself.
- General director: Lee Ki-young (총 감독).
- Supervision: Jeong Se-young, Hong Jin-seong, Kim Hyun-dong.
- Producer: Lee Sang-joo.
- Chief Designer: Shin Byung-cheong.
- Designer: Kim Do-sik.
- Music/Sound Director : Lee Young-bin.
Availability
Only 12 original episodes are available to view on the web.
The English dub, that was supposed to be aired in North America by the distributor company “Moonlight” in 2003[2], seems to be completely lost, though reportedly some kind of dub existed one time on DVD discs.
The Russian professional dub, on the other hand, is fully available on the web. See the corresponding section below.
Episode List
Episodes were around 12-minutes long. The names of episodes are going to be in Korean and translated to English (note that the exact names of episodes in English dub currently stay unknown).

Russian dub
Войны Юрского периода (The Wars of Jurassic Period) is an official Russian dub of the French-Korean joint produced series “The Jurassic Wa” (쥬라기원시전). It's notable for being the only version of the series that is freely available on the web for its entirety.
“Insomnia World Sales” (France) had the rights reserved in 2005. It was distributed on DVD by “Hits for Kids” in Russia, and by ИНТЕР-ФИЛЬМ in Ukraine (with Ukrainian subtitles)[3].
Availability
As of 15th of April 2024, Russian dub is available on YouTube in its entirety, but only the first episode contains intro. Other intro sequences were cut even for DVD, most probably because they were considered to be boring for the audience. Intros originally were just showing moments from the series. There is also no outro for episodes, but the menu for choosing an episode featured the 35 seconds hip-hop remix of the intro on loop. There were three DVDs, each featuring a part of the series, sold separately[3]. Probably later on was released one-disk edition with all of the episodes.
26 episodes last for around 11 minutes each. In the dub you can clearly hear the Korean voice actors, but the voiceover is of good quality, done by professional actors. The table below contains links to each episode.
