Walking With Dinosaurs

The biggest, most successful innovative hit for BBC TV of the past year. Aesthetically praised, it created controversy over its anthropological assumptions and as some would have it, anthropomorphic commentary. How to make a wildlife documentary series about dinosaurs when dinosaurs no longer exist. This is the story of how 40 extinct creatures were brought back to life for the spectacular BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs, with the aid of animatronics, computer animation and the science of paleontology. Extreme care was taken to ensure that the dinosaurs were anatomically correct, moved in the right way and were filmed in the right kind of habitats. Amazingly, paleontologists have discovered an enormous amount about how these animals behaved, what they ate, and how they responded. So the recreated dinosaurs not only look true to life, but act like it, too.
