While much of the 1994 film “The Pagemaster,” starring Macaulay Culkin, is animated, the film is bookended by live action sequences. Richard, played by Culkin, lives at this home in Arcadia, California. The home has since been remodeled some, although it was primarily seen in close-ups or side angles from the street in the film.

This view is closer to one of the angles seen in the film.

This corner is where the bike ramp was set up, which Richard wants to jump.

The Mt. Hollywood Tunnel in Griffith Park is where Richard is seen riding his bike as a storm breaks. The tunnel is just before you reach the famous Griffith Observatory. The same tunnel can be seen in such films as “Back To The Future Part II” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”

The library exterior was filmed at Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007).

The 2001 film “Jurassic Park III” was filmed in Hawaii and Southern California. Early in the film, Dr. Alan Grant, played by Sam Neill, visits the home of Ellie, played by Laura Dern. Ellie’s house can be found in South Pasadena, California. The same house was featured in the film “Bringing Down The House,” as well as the TV shows “Family” and “Fatal Attraction.”

Much like the original “Jurassic Park” and the sequel “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” this third installment also shot scenes at Jurassic Kahili Ranch in Kauaʻi, Hawaii. In Spring 2019, the ranch began offering tours to the public for the first time. However, it is unclear if they are still offering them, as most of their tour information has been removed from their website. It’s difficult to pinpoint specific scenes from the film, as the ranch is quite large and mostly credited for being featured in general outdoor and jungle scenes. The ranch’s movie tour focused primarily on the original film and the 2015 hit “Jurassic World,” with little mention of where scenes from the third film specifically shot. Here are some looks around the grounds of Jurassic Kahili Ranch. Please note that this land is private and unless you have express permission from the owners, it is trespassing to attempt to enter the grounds.

LOCATION: Jurassic Kahili Ranch, 5-1771D, Kuhio Hwy, Kilauea, HI 96754

One scene that can be matched up comes late in the film is when Dr. Grant and the survivors ride a barge along the water and pass herds of dinosaurs standing along the banks. This was filmed at the Pu’u Ka Ele Reservoir. After a breach of the nearby Ka Loko Reservoir in 2006, located about 2 miles east of the ranch, the owners decided to decommission the Pu’u Ka Ele Reservoir in 2009 and downsize it into a lake. This is how it appears now. This is the same area where Grant sees the dinosaur herds at the lake in the original film.
