Are you nostalgic for those 90s prehistoric hunks and hunnies? From Little Foot to Baby Bop, here’s an update on what your favorite Jurassic Studs and Starlets are up to now.

Little Foot

1997, a year before the end

This Brachiosaurus babe got his start in the Land Before Time franchise. Known for his convincing portrayal of an orphaned long neck, few can forget his saucy gap tooth or his pigeon-toed gait.

Others remember him for his fiery relationship with his leggy Triceratops co-star, Cera. After she was tragically poached by an unidentified hunter in 1998, Little Foot took a step back from the limelight.

Some reports suggest this is a photo of Cera’s attacker.

Though The Land Before Time has faded from the public’s eye, many are aware of its continuing success in the niche direct-to-Kmart’s dumpster fire market. However few know that Little Foot was replaced in 2007 by up-and-comer Small Paw, after Little Foot left the franchise to deal with his tree star addiction. His last appearance was in The Wisdom of Friends.

Co-stars report that Little Foot struggled with his addiction on set.

Little Foot continues to act, but on a smaller screen. His most recent work was a short commissioned by cummycartoons.de, entitled “Little Foot Gets Big.” He lives in Santa Clarita with his partner, the successful adult film producer and former child star, Big Cliff(formerly Clifford the Big Red Dog).

The Velociraptor Twins

You remember these two for their iconic scene in the first Jurassic Park movie even if you don’t remember them by name. In Hollywood they went by The Velociraptor Twins, but today they go by their given names: Brenda and Harriet.

Few know that these svelte raptorettes were actually born as one supremely chunky dinosaur with two heads. In order to secure their roles in Jurassic Park, the twins agreed to separate.

“It was hard for us at the time, but Steven knew the world wasn’t ready for a dinosaur with multiple heads,” Harriet said in an interview with Moviefone.

The two have decided to conjoin again after spending 15 years separated. The announcement was made on a body positive Facebook group for conjoined twins called, It Will Be Gross When One Of Us Dies. “The experience of Jurassic Park brought us together in a way that made us inseparable again,” Harriet confessed in her post. Brenda commented with a picture of her toes and two articles about how to eliminate varicose veins. It has been confirmed that they were affiliate links.

Harriet assures fans that Brenda feels the same way. “Because of the re-conjoining, I’m the one with the brain now. So I get to have the thoughts for the both of us.”

Baby Bop and BJ

This dynamic brother and sister duo is best known for their work on Barney and Friends from 1992 until 2009. Baby Bop’s career was looking promising as she landed career-changing roles in such legendary films as Barney in Concert and More Barney Songs Vol 3. But her untimely death in 2012 was a shock to many. The official coronary report states the cause of death was OD due to a deadly mix of Sudafed PE and Emergen-C, but cynics suspect foul play was involved. Pictures that may or may not have been doctored surfaced on Dlisted, depicting Baby Bop’s body swaddled in her iconic yellow blankie.

Baby Bop?? Is it you???

Despite all of the trauma surrounding his sister’s death, BJ managed to bounce back and start a successful ready-to-wear fashion line.
