AngryLizard is right, the narrator, being a 5 year old child, is annoying.
Also this entire thing is 87% incorrect.
Heck, the only way they could make it more incorrect is if they said, "we found velociraptor claw and teeth marks on tyranno' bones. This must be 'cuz, since they were in the same period, and velociraptor is 6-8 feet tall, the velociraptors must hav had large packs, up to 50 members!!"
Velociraptor lived during the triassic and was 3-3.5 feet tall. --_--
@KaxakaDarktree the kid is not as annoying as his entire friggen class,,,sheesh for a children's video the claymation rex killing a flying reptile was pretty violent
The problem with this vid' has been stated and a correct, or, rather, more correct version should be created to educate children on dinosaur facts so they don't hav to get their information from outdated "made between 10 and 30 years ago" books and movies.
I was purposefully being inaccurate about the years (the lack of common sense leads me to hav to explain these self explanatory things)
C'mon! Triceratops did NOT live in the same time as Supersaurus or Brachiosaurus! Those sauropods live during the Jurassic while Triceratops lived in the Late Cretaceous before the extinction! Come on! You're making some of us confused!
There were some really simple shots in this really that mainly seem to revolve around dolls or little figures, and a low budget, but man this was awesome for me as a kid and still now. Stuff like that T-Rex used to both exhilirate and terrify me. I couldn't get enough about dinosaurs though. Books, movies, toys, etc. Thanks for bringing me back a taste of my childhood!
This claymation sequence (well, parts of it) was also featured in the kids' documentary "More Dinosaurs", which was hosted by Gary Owens and Eric Boardman in the late 1980s. The science of the film is a little outdated, but "More Dinosaurs" was one of my favorite films when I was a kid. I'm thrilled to see this here. Thanks!
i think it's funny that people are so concerned that they showed a "triceratops in the Jurassic period." If you're going to get that into facts then why don't you complain that they put a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the Jurassic period, too?
Both Triceratops and T-Rex lived during the last three million years of the Cretaceous Period. But seriously? OMG. This is TOTALLY the first time the movie industry has ever tampered with facts! :P
Anyway, thanks for posting this! I loved it as a kid! :)
Thanks again for posting this. It's been so long since I last saw this. Whenever I was sick, my mom would put this on and make chicken and vegetable soup. I also had those toy dinosaurs that grow and expand when you put them in water, they were so fun to just stare at, lol.
that last bit always scared me when i watched this when i was a kid. haha
funny how in like every movie about dinosaurs they always portray the t-rex as a bad guy. he was only being a carnivor; not trying to murder every single dinosaur there was. :D
Isn't that strange, I had the video myself as a kid and I probably watched it until I memorized it. Now I'm almost done my bio degree! I'll have to be sure to show my kids this video! When I have kids anyways.
I have been searching for this for who knows how long. Im 21 now, but i rememeber this vaguely at my mums friends house. all i remembered was clay animation dinosaurs, and something about a dinosaur eating salad, lol
Wow. I used to watch this at the Milwaukee Public Museum when I was a kid. Loved it! Then I used it in a report in middle school on dinosaurs. Very cool to see again, thanks!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Um kids this is great fun and all, but don't be inspired to talk enthusiastically like this kid when giving reports on 'Dinosaurs'. You will NOT score with chicks and you'll appear to be so much of a dork that other kids will want to beat your ass!
Don't listen to this guy. He's obviously got some sort of an inferiority complex or problem with his manhood. Either that or he's just an idiot.
Life lesson from one who's been there: kids who are enthusiastic about school end up rich, kids who screw around (and screw each other) end up being either useless masses of protoplasm or employees of the rich "nerds" they once picked on.
Would you rather be dumb and useless or educated and rich? You decide.
I friggin' loved this as a kid, even though I knew how inaccurate it was. Images from it that stuck with me all these years include the tyrannosaurus' slow reveal, and the blue, red-eyed egg-eating brontosaurus. Looking at it now, I still like it a lot. The kid's narration is annoying in hindsight, though.
As for the egg-eating bronto, as horrendously inaccurate as he may be, I think he's my favorite dinosaur in this. It's those red eyes and that distinctive growl.
Brontosaurus was not a real dinosaur. It was a mistake between Apatosarus and Camarasaurus. The Camarasaurus skull was stuck on the body of the Apatosaurs and the name stuck. But someone saw that the head was on the wrong body and because Apatosarus was it,s first name that's it's name we stick with now.
Sometimes today Brontosaurs are used as another word for suropods which Apatosaurus belongs to but not to Apatosaurus itself which is why it's name means mistaken lizard.
What's a Triceratops doing in the Jurassic Period?
I'm not even a Paleontologist/Biologist/scientist and I'm noticing more and MORE scientific inaccuracies in this film than the people who made it. And this film is supposed to be educational? What a joke. For God's sake, Jurassic Park is more accurate than this!
@bobdrantz Jurassic Park was also made several years later. Which doesn't excuse all the inaccuracies here but it does open a window into the mindset of dinosaur lovers before Jurassic Park came out. That movie raised the bar on lots of things, from scientific accuracy to special effects (if not storytelling and screenwriting). It's unfair to harshly judge older dinosaur films, esp. ones aimed at children.
"Luckily Phillip erases the dinosaur before they are all killed. The class is happy with the report because not only was it informative, but also life threatening."
I remember watching this over and over as a kid! So glad to find it here.
