Walking with Dinosaurs

Walking with Dinosaurs is a 1999 BBC documentary television program co-produced by the Discovery Channel and narrated by superstar British thespian Kenneth Branaugh (Hamlet, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Henry VIII, Wild, Wild West). The BBC has found an acceptable balance of being informative and entertaining at the same time here. The series is a lot of fun to watch and viewers do get some insights into the world of the dinosaurs. The special effects and animations are very good. Walking with Dinosaurs magnificently captures the feel of the typical nature documentary shown on the Discovery Channel today. Walking with Dinosaurs shows us the real animals in their real habitats all those millions of years ago. The amount of detail and scientific information used in this is great. Now one can view sights such as a grim Triassic desert, a whole herd of Diplodocus, an Icthyosaur give birth, dinosaurs thriving in the South Pole, two Torosaurus lock horns, T-Rex roaring at the camera and the impact of the comet that spelled their doom. These dinosaurs walk, run, feed, fight, breed, hunt and swim. But the series also reveals the other creatures that they shared the world with as well. MORE
