Jurassic Park

Another significant step came in 1993, with Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, where 3D CGI dinosaurs were integrated with life-sized animatronic counterparts. The CGI animals were created by ILM, and in a test, scene to make a direct comparison of both techniques, Spielberg chose the CGI. Also watching was George Lucas who remarked: "a major gap had been crossed, and things were never going to be the same".
