Film appearances

T. rex has played a major role in these films:

•   Abra-Catastrophe!. the Fairly Odd Parents movie, shows Wanda as a T. rex in the Jurassic Park portion of Timmy's dream.
•   Adventures in Dinosaur City - An anthropomorphic Tyrannosaurus named Rex is one of the film's main protagonists.
•   Carnosaur - A genetically engineered Tyrannosaurus, which has been given a small amount of human DNA, battles with two construction machines driven by the main characters at the climax of the film.
•   Carnosaur 2 - Another artificially created T. rex is found in a nuclear storage facility, and battles a forklift at the film's climax.
•   Carnosaur 3 - Yet another genetically engineered T. rex is accidentally hijacked by a terrorist group, which is eaten by the T. rex and three raptors. The T. rex is lured onto a ship, where its head is blown off with explosives just before the entire ship explodes.
•   Fantasia - The Tyrannosaurus was featured twice during this Disney film, the first in which a Tyrannosaurus terrorizes a large herd of several different dinosaur genera, then fights a winning battle with a Stegosaurus (This sequence is technically impossible, since Stegosaurus had been extinct for millions of years before T. rex appeared. However, the dinosaur has three fingers, so it could actually be an Allosaurus instead). The second is a sequence showing the death of numerous dinosaurs in the heat of a hot sun. This perhaps shows how the last of the dinosaurs died after a climate change.
•   Godzilla - Godzilla is not a Tyrannosaurus, (a fact explicitly mentioned in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah; he is, in fact, a "Godzillasaurus") but his design was partially inspired by one.
•   Ice Age - Tyrannosaurus is seen briefly frozen in ice during a scene in the movie, but plays no large role in the movie.
•   Jurassic Park - Tyrannosaurus is the main dinosaur in the film, as well as its first sequel (see below), after it is brought back to life using blood from a fossilized mosquito. After breaking free of its enclosure, the Tyrannosaurus proceeds to hunt and kill scientists and tourists remaining on the island it was placed on.
•   The Lost World: Jurassic Park - The Tyrannosaurus reprises its role as the lead dinosaur for the sequel to Jurassic Park. In this film, an infant Tyrannosaurus is injured and rescued by scientists. They cure it, and are attacked when its parents find them.
•   Jurassic Park III - for this sequel to the Jurassic Park series, the Tyrannosaurus is defeated by the larger Spinosaurus in the opening stages of the film. The defeat, however, did little to sway the public popularity of the Tyrannosaurus.
•   King Kong (1933) - King Kong battles a Tyrannosaurus in a climatic scene to the movie while trying to protect Ann Darrow.
•   King Kong (2005) - Actually "Vastatosaurus rex", a fictional species which supposedly evolved from T. rex, though the screenplay refers to the dinosaur as T. rex, and one of the movie scenes on the DVD is called "The T-Rex Battle". Instead of fighting one as in the original film, Kong battles three all at once.
•   Rebirth of Mothra III - A T. rex made an appearance when Mothra went back in time to the Cretaceous Period to defeat Cretaceous King Ghidorah.
•   T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous - The semi-educational IMAX 3D film features the Tyrannosaurus in various time travel sequences, as well as its discoverer Barnum Brown.
•   The Land Before Time - The series featured Sharptooth and many others Tyrannosaurids. A young, friendly Tyrannosaurus named Chomper becomes an important minor character to the film series.
•   The Last Dinosaur - A wealthy trophy hunter dupes a team of scientists to lead him to a hidden pocket of primordial life. After being decimated, the surviving scientists flee, but the great white hunter elects to stay and continue to hunt the T rex.
•   Meet the Robinsons - This movie features a T. rex named Tiny as the pet of the Robinsons' family.
•   Night at the Museum - the movie features an undead dinosaur skeleton chasing Ben Stiller through the museum.
•   Planet of the Dinosaurs - A spaceship crashes on an uncharted planet, inhabited by creatures identical to Dinosaurs, including a Tyrannosaurus.
•   Prehysteria - A baby T. rex named "Elvis" (after Elvis Presley) is one of many baby dinosaurs featured in the film. The name appears to be a pun; Elvis Presley is the "King of Rock n' Roll", and Tyrannosaurus rex means "Tyrant Lizard King."
•   Raptor - In the 2001 Roger Corman movie the creatures are said to be Tyrannosaurus rather than the Velociraptor the title refers to. In fact, the word raptor isn't used throughout the entire film.
•   Theodore Rex.
•   Toy Story - In the Disney/Pixar film Toy Story and its sequel Toy Story 2 Tyrannosaurus is portrayed as a T. rex toy named "Rex".
•   Toy Story 2 - "Rex" appears again in this film.
•   The Valley of Gwangi - Gwangi is technically meant to be an Allosaurus, but Ray Harryhausen based his model for the creature off a Tyrannosaurus. Harryhausen often confuses the two, stating in a DVD interview "We called it an Allosaurus, occasionally... they're both meat eaters, they're both Tyrants... one was just a bit larger then the other."
•   We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story - A friendly, intelligent, genetically enhanced Tyrannosaurus named Rex is the film's main character and narrator.
