ILM shares an effects breakdown reel from last summer’s popcorn blockbuster. By today’s standards, it’s a fairly typical, yet still impressive mix of CGI, rotoscoping, and matte work, but the way they did the kiddie rides and the mo-capped raptors is worth a chuckle.

While on a trip to Africa, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard took the opportunity to remake the music video for Toto’s 1982 hit Africa. The end result is part silliness, part picture postcard, and part low-budget home vacation movie. Also, it’s time for a suspicious gorilla meme.
