Chased By Dinosaurs Reviews
BETTER THAN JURASSIC PARK
Educational AND entertaining. Every aspect of this production is top notch (even the music ). Considerably more credible and accurate than the Jurassic Park movies. Contrary to one reviewer's opinion in this section, the "speculative" aspects of their recreations are reasonable within current paleontological knowledge.
The best of recent dino DVDs by BBC and Discovery Channel
My 6-year old son has 4 of the recent dino DVDs created with computer-generated graphics:
* Chased by Dinosaurs (BBC)
* Allosaurus (BBC)
* Walking With Dinosaurs (BBC)
* Dinosaur Planet (Discovery Channel)
I have reviewed all the others, too.
The BBC productions are all far better quality than Dinosaur Planet. But Dinosaur Planet has longer stories, and the dinos are given names and more personality, which appeals to kids.
Of the BBC productions, Chased by Dinosaurs is the best. They are all exceptional. You'd think somebody managed to go back in time and shoot film of real dinosaurs. In fact, that is the plot of Chased by Dinosaurs. The host, Nigel Marvin, is something of a "dinosaur hunter", ala the Crocodile Hunter series. He goes back in time and interacts with marvelous dinosaurs in 3 long episodes. The animation is brilliant! In one moment, Nigel captures a small bird-like dinosaur. In another, a T-Rex nearly back into Nigel, who is hiding in the bushes. The animation is just mind-blowing.
This is absolutely my son's favorite. He's old enough to know that Nigel Marvin didn't really go back in time. But he's young enough to be absolutely delighted by the possibility.
