Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWas originally to be narrated by David Attenborough, but he turned down the part, unwilling to support a fictitious, fake wildlife documentary. He would later open up to documentaries of prehistoric wildlife where animals are brought to life via special effects, lending his voice to productions such as Flying Monsters 3D with David Attenborough (2011), David Attenborough's Natural History Museum Alive (2014) and the series Prehistoric Planet (2022), which many consider to be the successor to Walking with Dinosaurs (1999).
- GoofsAll throughout the show, animals are consistently misplaced in time. In reality, only very few of the depicted animals lived in the time their respective episodes take place in.
- Alternate versionsThe original UK version, shown on BBC, and the US version, shown on Discovery Channel, differ in various aspects:
- Kenneth Branagh does the narration for the UK version, Avery Brooks for the US version
- UK version is presented in 6 episodes à 30 minutes, US version is shown as a 3-hour special
- US version is cut for gore
- ConnectionsEdited from Black Rain (1989)
Featured review
This is as good as it gets.
This is six episodes tracing (briefly) what life may have been like when dinosaurs ruled the earth. Done in the style of a nature documentary this show does away with talking heads instead just gives us the good stuff with the dinosaurs attempting to survive.
Certainly this isn't a true documentary since none of what we see on screen can be attested to with any certainty, but its a best guess, and an entertaining one at that. Here is a show that brings dinosaurs to life in a realistic way that doesn't involve them eating people. This is a show that should be shown to any kid who loves dinosaurs since it will instill them with the OH WOW factor to go out and find out more. It will also entertain the hell out of them, and you.
See this. If you love animal shows or nature or science or Disney True Life Adventures (except no one really gets killed) or just a really good trip to somewhere else run out and get yourself a copy. Your brain will thank you.
