Because just one Adventure of Jurassic Pet wasn’t enough! The Lost Secret has all the familiar terrible effects, terrible acting, terrible story, and terrible characterisation of its predecessor, and then somehow manages to be even more terrible. There’s a baffling explanation about dinosaurs entering our world via a magic door which only appears at the full moon – although once a month doesn’t seem to be enough for anyone but our intrepid heroes to know about it. There’s a flying go-kart. There’s two evil comic henchmen whose antics are annoying at best, racist at worst. There’s a talking tree, and a talking dinosaur. There’s a scheming mayor who struts around in sunglasses, pontificating loudly about his evil plan to sedate an entire town in order to rob one bank. It’s like the creators wanted to see how much ridiculousness they could fit into 84 minutes, and how long it would take for someone to point it out. If the Jurassic Pet movies keep following the same trajectory, the planned third instalment will be too crazy for us mere mortals to cope with.
