Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally intended to be a comedic but more adult-oriented and silent animated show with no narration, until the Discovery Channel changed the format to a television documentary in the final stage of development. Hence the drastic shifts in tone, from scientific and serious to over-the-top sensational and goofy, as well as the tacked-on narration and the talking heads.
- GoofsThroughout the series, there are shots when the animals unconvincingly slide across the terrain or float in the air when running, due to the rushed animation.
- ConnectionsEdited into Dinotasia (2012)
Featured review
The dumbest ''documentary'' I've ever seen about dinosaurs
I must preface this review by saying that I've only seen the last episode of this nonsense, which was about T-Rex. And I don't think the scientists involved in making of this ''documentary'' are responsible for the ridiculous animation. They must have seen it only after it aired, I assume.
Science is not always 100% sure when it comes to measuring, guessing, ascertaining things that happened many millions of years ago or many thousands of light years away. This is not to say that science is unreliable, in fact, I would argue otherwise is true. Because scientists are fully aware of the difference between when they make an educated guess and when things are unambiguous. Especially, when it comes to dinosaurs, scientists know what they know and what they are guessing. And to be fair, all animated documentaries about dinosaurs depict them based on speculation, in terms of color and behavior. But when we know so little about their colors, it's not acceptable to give them very specific color schemes. Their depiction of a T-Rex looks like an idea of an 8 year old boy: T-Rex have conveniently skull-shaped, white war paints on their faces! Their behavior is also laughable. They cuddle like kittens in their nests. Smaller dinosaurs sneak up on sleeping T-Rex to steal their eggs and when it wakes up they are afraid and they make a sound similar to a dog whimper. I must stress again, I am aware, almost all documentaries about dinosaurs try to make them appealing to a general audience. But this was insulting not only to the scientist but also to the audience as well. I really felt the urge to say a few things about this. Who ever made this should be ashamed of themselves.
