Dinosaurs: The Terrible Lizards

[b2kguga]

thanks a lot

[troodon311]

I'm in the middle of taking an online sexual harassment class (as a recent hire, not as a punishment) and I just realized that the guy who narrates it is the same guy who did the narration for this documentary! Freaking awesome.

Wat up

[Joehrex1]

I want to know if there is an original unrevised version with the original Aylsworth Kleihauer's script? The version that we saw was the revised 1976 version with Ruth S. Zick's revised script.

[Titan52berg]

Years ago, the Anatosaurus was known as the 'Trachodon'. Corythosaurus had a half-circular crest adorning its head. There was Lambeosaurus and Iguanodon.... Carnivores like Tyrannosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Allosaurus stalked the lands of the Mesozoic Era, with the latter of the three appearing in the Jurassic Period, while the first and second of this trio dominated the prehistoric realms of the Cretacious.

[TiteProducts]

I really wish we could somehow see these creatures first hand.

[Themaniacnextdoor]

Hmmmm.. not as good as some stop motion, but still pretty nice.

[TOHOFIEND54]

sweet stop motion

[dwiilaster]

i used to have a tape similar to this one, but i just can't remember its name. i remember scenes with a t rex fighting with an ankylosaurus and then a triceratops, a small dinosaur raiding a triceratops nest, and a small, insect-eating mouse like creature in it. can anyone please tell me the name of that tape?

[CaptainDinobot]

@dwiilaster It was called "Learning About Dinosaurs", I have the VHS. Sadly the 1st 4 minutes are not watchable but I have another copy where the middle is damaged.

[dwiilaster]

@CaptainDinobot thank you thank you thank you

[YouReadMyUserName121]

@CaptainDinobot Thank you. I was wondering what the tape was named. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I do recall the VHS having a segment where Godzilla sings "Take me out to the ball game."

[swansong200]

OMG i had these tapes, thank thank thank thank you

[blotsafun]

Did anyone else noticed that most of the dinosaurs in this were used in the 70s Land of the Lost?

I wonder if some of the dinosaurs that weren't in the series were made for it too, but didn't make it.

[JzillaStudio134]

Awsome Dinosaur video!!!

[radioactivekaraoke]

The same animator worked on Land Of The Lost. Great stuff.

[chichiboypumpi]

when dinos dragged their tails

good stuff still

[chichiboypumpi]

is he grumpy from the 70s land of the lost

did sid & marty kroft used the same models

[Fayt22]

man I really missed this too bad thegoatfetus doesn't have the mammal part i really would love to see it

[acefrehley19731973]

I love the part from 6:52 to 7:00

[the86montecarlo]

I had this on VHS back in the 80's when i was around 5 years old and somehow lost it in the late 90's. There was 4 parts to it. first part was "Dinosaurs The Terrible Lizards". the Second part i think was called "Fossil Mammals". The third part was a slide show of dinosaurs and the 4th part was a slide show of prehistoric mammals. Really wish i could find a full copy.

[343Kintaro]

Thegoatfetus, you can mention the year of the film if you want: (MCMLXXXVI). Regards!

[konack1]

6:27 - He said Horny!

[acefrehley19731973]

6:53 to 7:00 is the best part

[GunnarMcGriff]

Actually, I just found out that that one's an adaptation of "Aquarium" from Camille Saint-Saëns' "Carnival of the Animals." You learn something new everyday, I guess.

[thegoatfetus]

Thanks, I knew that sounded extremely familiar.

[GunnarMcGriff]

5:57, the music is really close to the theme from Beauty and the Beast. Search "Beauty and the Beast Instrumental Music Prologue" and it should be the first to come up... It's kind of striking.

[gregrutz]

The name means 'terrible lizard' It does not mean they were. The avg. dino was 2-3 feet tall.

Brontosaurus was a mistake, it does not even exist.

[johnrunion]

@gregrutz yes, that is right. brontosaurus was indeed a 'mistake'. they just placed the wrong skull on the end of another dino's body. now, they don't think dinos dragged their tails either.

[gregrutz]

@johnrunion Correct, science keeps discovering more every day. The now have over 20 different dinosaur fossils with feathers. Everything you think of as bird like, dinosaurs had: Feathers, hollow bones, three toes forward, warm blood, etc. , oval eggs in nests, etc.

[johnrunion]

@gregrutz thanks for the info. also, elasmosaurus: initially they placed the skull at the end of the tail, not the neck!

[the86montecarlo]

@gregrutz Brontosaus existed. In the beginning, Brontosaurus excelsus and Apatosaurus ajax were considered to be of two different genus and species. Brontosaurus excelsus and Apatosaurus Ajax are slightly different, but scientist now feel that they are different species of the same genus so Brontosaurs excelsus was renamed as Apatosaurus excelsus. Yes, the skull was completely fabricated because a skull had never been found at the time.

[nightstand79]

the narrator sounds like flint from the 1980's gi joe cartoon

[YungReg88]

Even though I'm 22, I still love to watch stuff like this. When I was younger I used to watch old episodes of Gumby and this video reminds me of it so much.

[troodon311]

I love the feel of this video, it's very ominous.

[LadyDate]

My god this is so inaccurate, but I used to think this was the shit when I was a kid.

[Taydude411]

i have the edition with this, and the fossil dinosaur segment

[Tareltonlives]

Do you know that the animator worked with Willis O'Brien himself on "The Black Scorpion", did maquettes for Disney, and worked on costumes for both Star Trek and the King and I?

[Tareltonlives]

Chang should totally have gotten an award for this. I hope someone posts the mammal part.

[camiam321]

I have been looking for this for soooo long. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'd really appreciate it if someone could locate a copy of the mammal portion of the film.

[Luciusdeatheater]

When I was a little girl, this movie was given to me by my grandfather on video-tape and I watched it constantly - even though the dinosaur at the beginning scared the hell out of me.

[DHBBQ]

GRUMPY WAS IN THERE

[karabrice]

@DHBBQ And Emily and Spot too!

[kaijusaurusrex]

actually it's now called Apatosaurus. 

[LarsonFilms2]

@konack1 I know it, it's called "The Age of Mammals."

[LarsonFilms2]

The T. rex at the intro looks like the allosaurus from One Million Years B.C.

[konack1]

What was the name of the Mammal portion? Somebody else may of uploaded it maybe?

[7DARKHELLS]

ITS GRUMPY!!!

0:55

[Darkstar1484]

Oh wow, I remember this from when I was a little kid. I thank you very much for posting it up here.

[Gunganfan]

I remember this. My mom bought me this tape when I was a wee little boy. I brought ALL my dinosaur toys into the living room and let them watch it with me.

[MsAllosaurus]

I like this video, um can I ask you a question can I borrow this.

[HoopsAndDinoMan]

6:55 Ha ha ha! The Styracosaurus stabbed the T. Rex in the bellybutton!

Wait, he's a reptile; he doesn't have a bellybutton. Or, well... now he does.

And why'd they say T. Rex was 50 feet long? The biggest skeleton is 42 feet long.

[MsAllosaurus]

@HoopsAndDinoMan LOL!!! That was funny what the Styracosaurus did to the T-rex.

The T-rex measures about 40 feet in length and other larger dinosaurs like Saurophaganax and Spinosaurus measures about 50 feet long.

[dancingsango1]

yes! I have been trying to remember thename of this freakin' SHOW!

[Kingdom12]

haha

[LamangoKaijura]

Ok, so Grumpy, Spike, Emily, Spot, the two Pteranodons from Land of the Lost... Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, and some of the duck billed ones are from different movies....

[Hewylewis]

Is that Allosaurus at the beginning from One Million Years BC? It looks a lot better than the other dinosaurs in this documentary.

[ZillaRex2000]

I remember seeing this from the Mr. Know-it-Owl video and the flesh-eating parts were edited from that version.

[GodzillaGeek]

Yay! Grumpy, Spot, Spike and Emily from "Land of the Lost"!

[LamangoKaijura]

I knew it. THAT WAS GRUMPY, WASN'T IT!? Lmfao! Where's his roar!? WE NEED THE GUUUUURAH roar!

[DoomRulz]

Thx for uploading this dude, I fucking love this film. I remember it from when I was younger :D

[Mekfearsom]

Please Please Please upload the Mammal portion of this. It would complete my life!

[thegoatfetus]

I would, but I don't own it.

[Mekfearsom]

Daaaaaaaaaaaannnnggggg :( :( :( :( :( :(

[DoomRulz]

There was a mammal portion?

[troodon311]

Yeah there was a mammal one. I used to have uploaded a documentary on prehistoric mammals that had portions of it. I was forced to take it down =/

[DoomRulz]

Upload it on Megashare dude, I'd love to see it :)

[konack1]

@thegoatfetus By any chance do you know the name of the mammal portion?

[TheCyberController]

Scientifically inaccurate and imprecise, but highly entertaining.

[61btod]

Okay, I'm gonna try to identify the unidentified dinosaurs

0:13 Allosaurus

4:46 Corythosaurus

4:52 Parasaurolophus

4:57 Either Saurolophus or Tsintaosaurus

5:45 Maybe Chasmosaurus

[61btod]

Almost forgot:

Brontosaurus is now called Apatosaurus;

Anatosaurus is now Edmontosaurus and Anatotitan;

and Monoclonius is a sub-adult of an unspecified horned dinosaur.

BTW, wasn't there like a sequal to this featuring the age of mammals?

[philerbuni]

yeah there is,on the video i had it was @ the end

[the86montecarlo]

@61btod Monoclonius is believed by some to be a sub-adult of Centrosaurus.

[DoomRulz]

Tsintantosaurus according to what was known back then, but today paleontologists no longer believe it had the crest on its head. Had that been Saurolophus, the crest would've curved backwards.

And yes, at 5:45 it's Chasmosaurus.

[61btod]

Tsintaosaurus does have a crest on it's head. The dinosaur you're thinking of is Tanius.

[61btod]

Oh my God, I haven't seen this since I was 6. I used to watch it over and over and over for hours on end.

[philerbuni]

me too i had this on video!!! i was the same age. mom got me this video @ MARSHALLS
