Ariana Richards throws it back.

In a recently released duet video on the official Jurassic World On her TikTok account, the 43-year-old former child actress recreated an iconic scene from 1993. Jurassic Park in honor of the blockbuster’s 30th anniversary.

In the original scene, Richards’ character Lex and her younger brother Tim (Joseph Mazzello) try to hide from a dinosaur rampage on Isla Nublar. As Lex is eating green Jell-O, they realize they are being chased by Velociraptors.

As the birds of prey get closer and the children notice their shadows, Lex tries her best not to make any sudden movements – which causes the spoon of gelatin in her hand to start shaking wildly as the camera zooms in on her frightened face.
