Jurassic Park may be known for revolutionizing the use of visual effects, with many of the special effects created using 3D animation for the first time, but not every dinosaur was CGI. In fact, only five key scenes of the film were made using CGI, with the rest of Jurassic Park utilizing practical effects like animatronics. 


Director Steven Spielberg initially objected to the idea of using computer effects for Jurassic Park.

Phil Tippet was intent on using go-motion, a form of stop motion, for the dinosaur effects, but was eventually convinced to do otherwise by effects pioneer Dennis Muren, after showing Spielberg a short CGI test of the T-Rex.
