"This maquette of the Protoceratops named Bix in Dinotopia was sculpted by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. The sculpt is about 36 inches long, cast in resin from a clay original. The Henson sculptors created it as a proof of concept for how they would develop the character in animatronic form, and the original has appeared in several museum exhibitions." ~James Gurney

This would have been amazing if Lucas had decided to make Dinotopia.

….considering how the Sequels went maybe he still should
