Interesting facts

Rex: A Dinosaur's Story is a 1993 Japanese film directed by Haruki Kadokawa, based on a manga written by Masanori Hata and illustrated by Clamp. The film stars Yumi Adachi as Chie, a young girl who befriends a young Tyrannosaurus rex after it hatches from an egg co-discovered by her paleontologist father.

Production

Initially, Haruki Kadokawa planned to produce Rex: A Dinosaur's Story as a Hollywood film. However, his first (and only) Hollywood project, Ruby Cairo starring Andie MacDowell, failed to find a distributor in the United States, causing the production of Rex to be put on hold.

The year 1993, when the film was released, saw a dinosaur boom in both Japan and the United States, including many films featuring dinosaurs such as Rex.

The film's dinosaur effects were provided by Italian effects artist Carlo Rambaldi.
