I didn't quite expect this film to end up being so huge and elaborate! :D What a great journey it has been, I thoroughly enjoyed creating this series. I started this "Dinosauria" project a whole 18 months ago and I'm incredibly proud of the whole thing! ^_^ I really hope you all enjoy this send-off! Click here for the Behind-The-Scenes video!: ruclips.net/video/vZwYXc8pV6Y/видео.html
I love how you showed the Tyrannosaurus rex wasn’t some evil monster but a living breathing animal like all the rest. The T. rex coexisted with all the others and in this moment wasn’t hungry, she came to drink water, therefore had no need to attack. It’s refreshing seeing the T. rex not as a killer but an animal trying to survive.
@@jamaaelmariano3242 The point really flew past your head, didn't it? Oftentimes Tyrannosaurus Rex is portrayed as ONLY killing like it is some kind of sadistic monster. In this, it was shown that she was just a predator and only killed when she had to.
That my friend is called judging ANIMALS! from a humanely point of view. for centuries wild predators in cartoons were painted as villains why? because we follow this just because it kills ( under any circumstances means its evil ) way, which is wrong, now I don't blame you for doing this because your a human yourself, as a matter of fact the animals do this to us as well, but just remember, they are animals, and in their world there is no right or wrong, there is only survival.
This video really encapsulates all that is fascinating about dinosaurs. They were not moronic reptiles doomed to extinction, they were magnificent beasts and titans that reached sizes and shapes that no animal had ever achieved before or since. Even when the asteroid fell, their legacies were not snuffed out. Their skeletons amaze us, and their descendants fill the skies and add wonder to the world today. They ruled the earth for 160 million years, and even today birds outnumber mammals by sheer species number alone. They were successes in every meaning of the word, and no group might ever reach their majesty.
Here's an interesting fact: given that grief is an emotion exhibited in both birds and crocodilians, it's incredibly likely that dinosaurs could experience it as well.
And given how distantly related crocodiles and birds are when only looking at Archosauria (the group they both are in), it COULD (Keyword: could) have shown up in other archosaurs too. ALL RISE FOR SADGE PTEROSAURS AND RAUISUCHIANS!
In order to have emotions, you need intelligence. I couldn't find any scientific paper talking about the emotional capabilities of crocodiles and birds that show grief (parrots, raptors, pidgeons...) are far, far more intelligent then most (I'd even argue all) reptiles. So it's more likely only more intelligent dinosaurs could feel "grief".
@@alisav8394 in determining the subjective experience of a living thing scientific studies aren't much better than anecdotal evidence, and there is quite a bit of anecdotal evidence of crocodilians exhibiting complex behaviours quite similar to the behaviours expected of a particular emotion that would be felt in a particular situation. For example, the famous American alligator named Saturn starved himself to the point of near death (in fact he would have died without medical intervention) after his female companion died. If it wasn't grief that caused this, what could it have been?
I love that this short film doesn't just focus on the death and destruction, it celebrates the fact that dinosaurs existed in the first place, and in some ways they never left. It celebrates how much meaning they have to us. We write books and make movies that transcend generations. We build replicas and display what little remains they left behind for all to see. Dinosaurs are so important to humanity because we thrive on curiosity and exploration, and dinosaurs complement that natural drive to discover. Ever since they were first discovered, we have been trying to piece together what little evidence remains in order to understand animals that died out millions of years ago
So here comes the end of great series. I'm not gonna lie, it was strong. This part, unlike the previous ones, did not have a plot that focused around a single dinosaur or group of species. But the scenes and overall atmosphere perfectly convey how inevitable and sad the extinction of these amazing creatures is. However, they have not disappeared without a trace. We remember them, and they can even inspire people to make amazing series like these. I enjoyed watching every second of Dinosauria animations and hope to see more dino-themed stuff from you. You are very good at this.
I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the quality of this work you’ve done. This was more than just a depiction of life lost to time. It's a tribute. To what came before and what we have, now. We've grown up always hearing about how these animals were among the most magnificent, monstrous, and misunderstood, but we could never really get an accurate depiction of them in action. If they were given a chance to shine, it was in a set of IPs made by people that (usually) only treated them as a means to an end. Now, we live in a day and age where ordinary people can bring these colossi to life. This series has inspired millions around the world to further analyze the majesty of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, and birds. I'm one of those people. Thank you, David, for your amazing work. I look forward to seeing what comes next. In the meantime, I'll be rewatching this series every day for invigoration. Best of luck, stay safe, and have a good one. :')
@@shoother2257 Okay okay, he might’ve taken some creative liberties, but aside from the arctic episode what was wrong? I’d personally love to know what you think.
8:17 "We have since built museums to celebrate the past, and spent decades studying prehistoric lives. And if all of this has taught us anything, it's this: No species lasts forever." (ending narration from WALKING WITH BEASTS)
At first the film seemed just a depressing reality, a sad send off to an incredible prehistoric world. But the ending, oh my word it was incredible. How you effortlessly communicated the idea that, while gone, the traits of Dinosaurs still live on in modern day birds with the crow on the skull scene was inspiring. And the music swelling at the end was incredible. This is the first piece of media to make me tear up in years. Bravo!
I watched the early release and it left me crying with how beautiful you conveyed this. Seeing it again now, it's even more powerful than before. The way the father tyrannosaurus tries to protect his family from the inevitable. How happy and at peace they were. 🥺 This was one of best portrayals of the extinction event. You have given us such a priceless and timeless gift.
I can agree this was terribly sad but it was a great wrap up to the series, I got tears in my eyes toward the middle to the end it was just so amazing this series was wonderful, I don’t think there could have been a better way to send off this series, And David is truly a spectacular artist and animator. I will always re watch this series as a reminder of passion and will to do what you love, as well as just to pay tribute to these amazing creature lost in time, and although we will probably never know what it was really like, I’d like to believe that what happened here in this series would be accurate enough and solid enough to help people understand dinosaurs better at least younger people, anyways I agree completely this was an astounding series that definitely brought the stakes and emotions!
This was beautiful and touched all of us with sadness, these weren't just battling brutes that you see in the movies, but living animals. You started the series because you were bored and didn't want to make things you didn't like doing anymore. Its been a roller coaster of greatness, better than most paleo animators. YOU were one of the best, YOU inspired a lot of people, YOU are the one that started this series that is basically equal to prehistoric planet. Time to say bye..
I am literally on tears watching this, seeing the dinosaurs grief over their dead families, Seeing them actually cry in pain over it. It’s so depressing.
There are so many things I'm just now noticing with this film, like how post-impact you can see the surviving dinosaurs are still visibly ill and frail, like their eyes being puffed up and watery from the smoke and ash, their sunken faces from rapid weight loss or internal injury, etc It's all so gut-wrenching
Yeah, and to think that the dinosaurs within a 1000km radius of the impact were said to be vaporised by the thermal wave, and that the hot cloud of debris the earth would be enveloped in hours later would make many others die from overheating. Many died slowly, many others also died slowly, but from being cooked alive… horrific.
Digo o mesmo, esse me atingiu com mais força que "Sharp teeth" o t-rex vendo toda a sua família morta, o pequeno triceratops acabando sem sua mãe e o saurópode(não consegui identificar qual seria, não sou boa lembrando de nomes de dinossauros) vendo que provalemente era o último vivo na área e já estava sem forças, esse final foi extremamente triste, mas eles não se foram para sempre, estão entre nós, como foi mostrado com as semelhanças entre o corvo e os dinossauros que vimos antes.
The scene when the crow is compared to the dinosaurs brought tears into my eyes, how far have time went, and simply fantastic and amazing to realise that birds are the descendants of dinosaurs, they are all around us, roaming the skies and making the world more colourful with their unique behaviours and birdsongs. Update: Yeah this is old, and I wanna make a correction. Birds ARE dinosaurs
I can see why someone called this "the saddest dinosaur short film ever made." And yet hope is still found amongst such tragedy: the hope that life goes on and a legacy endures. Beautifully done, sir, beautifully done.
I've gotta be honest, the scenes following the impact of the asteroid nearly broke me. That lone Sauropod, who I can only assume wandered for days just so it could die with its herd, as well as the scarred Rex just... Lying there. It was such an eerie, yet heartbreaking way to depict the extinction. Hats off to you, David. This entire series has been a great ride.
@@splurg6180 that was so sad, and its only one dinosaur it shown, in reality there were probably thousands of baby Dino who became orphan after the astroid took down their parents and siblings, imagine a Dino hatchling hatching from its egg only to see bodies everywhere, his siblings iter dead before they hatched, died after hatched or straight up crashed in their egg under the body of their mother as she tried to protect them
@@HarmonyOCman, imagine hatching and being completely blocked into your nest under this massive roof above you thats your dead parent The few days of living before you starved would be so lonely and crushing
I just love how you depict the predators as A PART of the ecosystem, rather than monsters existing above it. It really represents the harmony of nature in ways that dramatised versions of prehistory don’t convey.
1:49 I love how the Tyrannosaurus rex didn’t just go berserk on any of the smaller dinosaurs and started chasing after them, and the herbivores just watching it to keep a close look just so they know he’s not a threat.
I knew this was coming. You can't talk about dinosaurs without talking about their end. But I was not ready for the emotional gut punch this delivered. Holy crap what a tribute!
Few things in this world genuinely deserve the title "Masterpiece" but this series exceeds all. A magnificent piece that all words of praise wont do it justice
One of the reasons I think we, as humans, are so fascinated with dinosaurs is we sympathize with them. They managed to crawl their way out of the Great Dying, arguably the single worst mass extinction event in the entire history of our planet; the closest macroscopic life ever came to complete extinction. They were survivors and managed to completely dominate the planet for over 200 million years, while we've barely even been around for a percentage of that time. They were in their prime, at the top of their game, and could've gone on to rule the planet forever . . . and then a random rock came along and ruined everything. They didn't know what was coming their way or what was happening when it hit. They couldn't have done anything as their numbers quickly dwindled past the point of recovery. The rug was completely yanked out from under their feet and there was nothing they could do about it. We humans often love to root for the underdogs because we have an innate need for there to be justice or balance. And I'll be damned if the dinosaurs weren't the biggest underdogs of all time - they didn't deserve what happened to them, never did anything that would have warranted having their entire world absolutely destroyed. We ache and sympathize with these amazing animals not only because we never got to meet them, but what happened to them was so completely and utterly unfair. You, sir, have truly captured that. Throughout this entire series, you've managed to do what professional studios with millions of dollars backing them up couldn't or just flat out wouldn't: portray dinosaurs not as monsters to fear or revile, but as actual animals with complex behaviors, natural looks, and even emotions without explicitly anthropomorphizing them. And all by *yourself.* If that doesn't deserve some kind of recognition, then I don't know what does.
Dinosaurs BENEFITTED from the Great Dying and from the End-Triassic Mass Extinction; the Great Dying allowed them and other archosaurs to exist in the first place, and the End-Triassic Mass Extinction eliminated most of the pseudosuchians, which had been dominant over the dinosaurs in the Triassic. So it’s only fitting that dinosaurs, too, would be brought down (save birds) by another mass extinction. They came into this world because of a mass extinction, built their global empire because of another mass extinction, and that empire was destroyed by yet another mass extinction.
Oh this isnt close to the worse mass extinctions 90% have happened hell during the ice age there was a time 99% of humans died it's just the one we can see the most creatures because the mass extinctions before it we get barely any fossils because they were destroyed but there were points were earth was all but neutered Everything else I agree wirh
Permian-Triassic extinction is counted as the worste when I looked it up but there are others essentially the first that nearly wiped everything 90% dead while Ordovician got like 86% compared to 75% of the dinosaurs
This gives me the chills. The sensation that something that big, not walked, thrived, where I stand just makes me feel alive. There is nothing that can overtake my love for these ancient animals, and this show not only enhances my curiosity, but also something inside. All of these feelings were beautifully encapsulated into the 9 minutes I watched.
Just imagine how miserable the truly last tyrannosaur must’ve been before death. Or any hatchlings that were born into a dead world, not knowing they weren’t even given a chance from the get. This music really hammers everything home
The way the two tyrannosaurs embraced eachother when the sky lit up made me legit almost cry. It was so soft. I love seeing these creatures shown in such a tender light, they're animals with feelings. These videos evoke the strongest emotion in me, I wish I could go back and see them, just living their life. But this is beautiful too. Everything is portrayed so beautifully.. this series has made me so happy. Thank you so much for making this, for all of us ❤️
My thoughts in short sentences: “How the hell does a 10 minute short film topple full blown movies with huge budgets?” “How does a short movie with no dialog convey more emotions than regular movies” And believe me, I had a ton more thoughts
It’s crazy how you were able to make me miss a creature I’ve never seen alive with my own eyes. It feels like the story brings back memories of a lost friend, and knowing that they live on in others. Very powerful. Thank you
When I thought the peak of dinosaur content was behind me in old tv shows, you showed up and brought them back in the coolest way imaginable. Thank you for this series and all of the joy and entertainment you’ve brought to us!
Yes dinosaur content in the recent years are becoming mediocre and scarce but thanks to this series, and prehistoric planet it showed us that the dinosaur media is not truly dead and its not yet in its peak its not the end but the mere beginning of the new dinosaur renaissance breaking the mold of hyper violent monsters and killing machines who just kill for no reason but instead introducing the public feathered but not stupid dinosaurs, dinosaurs being living creatures made of flesh, muscle and bone not hatred and the craving for blood. Just living creatures there really are no good and evil in nature only the will to survive the world and to carry the legacy through their descendants.
Judging from the comments, i wasn't the only one tearing up and becoming a complete emotional mess by the end! It's funny that the fossils in museums and awe-inspiring displays made me cry more than the actual death & extinction scenes. maybe because i was just deeply moved by the deep love and passion put into this film & whole series -- a passion that unites everyone who came here to watch this. Thank you David for this whole series of masterpieces that are not only educational and beautiful but also life-changing
I'm full-on crying right now over this short, just the tragedy followed by the beauty of the world as it recovered and new creatures filled the niches left by the dinosaurs and took on their traits and aghhgghjasdasghdasgh. so much love and beauty in the world . still crying
I think it's because seeing the fossils reminds you that this was a real scenario, not just a sad animation. You've at least seen images of real dinosaur fossils, and possibly even seen them in real life. So by showing that they are a result of this tragedy, it solidifies it as not just a depiction of tragedy, but of a very real one that happened long ago.
The way you handle the theme of death in your stories is incredible. In dinosauria especially, you treat it as somewhat of a new beginning for life, without ever undermining how tragic it is for the single creatures involved with it. It's really beautiful. You really manage to say, without words, "death is just nature, and that's... ok" without having to take away the sadness and emotional weight of it, and that's really hard to pull off
This is just stunning. The way the dinosaurs have been portrayed is a perfect balance between what was probably reality with a touch of "humanity" that creates much more emotion. The artwork is beautiful and the music is perfect. What a piece of art.
The bit at the end where the tyrannosaurs body slowly becomes morphed and covered by sediment over time is amazing, what a great video! You’ve really brought the dinosaurs world to life on a poetic and beautiful way very few have managed to achieve!
I find it so beautiful how you depict these dinosaurs as real animals, rather than cold blooded killers. It really brings these animations to life, and the music, the music fits so well, and makes many of your animations more emotional than it should be. You’re awesome, keep up the great content!
8:58 I need to be honest, this shit right here, makes me want to cry every single time. It's already so cute and happy seeing that our protagonist had offspring, but the music that goes right alongside it just makes it cut even deeper. AND I LOVE IT!!! God bless this masterpiece of a series.
What I really love about the ending is that it shows the dinosaurs we met along the way and we even see how they've come so far. The old Styracosaurus still has his territory and herd. The mother Troodon and her surviving offspring moved out and find a new and safer home. The male Lambeosaurus finally has a family. And the Geosternbergia flock still thrive.
David, this series has been incredible! I don’t know how you’ve been able to make it this good. This film was awesome and I hope to see more out of the dinosauria series in the future
Maybe he should continue the series post-comet, and explore the coming age of mammals, kind of like how the walking with beasts series takes place after walking with dinosaurs
Yea I know it’s the end but who knows. With all the new dinosaurs being discovered every day and how many we know of there’s an endless possibility of the dinosauria series. But this was an incredible ending and I don’t know how David would top it with another ending
man coming back to this still gets me choked up. these were real animals just living their lives, and they all collectively faced one of the worst if not the worst single days that life on earth has ever endured, and the hell that followed. We are lucky that any of them made it, and i love how this film celebrates what they left behind, both living and stone.
@@piglin469 To be fair while the end-permian extinction was more dramatic, it also took place over a longer period of time. It's not like the end cretaceous extinction where the worst of it really did happen in just a day.
Gone but not forgotten. Like, u know where this is going right from the beginning, but yet it still just hit SO HARD when the birds come home to roost amongst the footsteps of their ancestors and the music takes off. Plus seeing all the skeletons in the museum. It's so bittersweet. Such horrible tragedy and yet such triumph at the same time. It IS the story of the dinosaurs, the truest one of all, the story that can't be disputed: They were here. They were mighty. And they live on through our endless love and fascination. And you told that story beautifully. That little bit of your previous films playing on the side screen in the museum was a nice touch!
I remember showing this at the school assembly, towards the end when the video ended, everyone in the hall was sobbing/crying. The little kids cried the most while the teachers were speechless till when the assembly ended, everyone got up and started clapping saying that it was one of the most impact short film they have ever seen!
What a time to be a dino fan, getting wonderful media from documentaries, blockbusters, and indie artists alike. Dinosauria and its finale might just be my favorite that's come out, a perfect blend of science and design without sacrificing any storytelling or cinematic artistry. Just about everything this year has reminded me why I love these creatures.
Yeah, 2022 is a year of paleo nerds. We have Prehistoric Planet, Jurassic World Dominion, JW Camp Cretaceous final season, JWE 2 DLCs, Prehistoric Kingdom, possibly a second season of Primal, not even mentioning some other projects and new paleo discoveries. What a time to be alive for a lover of prehistoric animals.
that was absolutely fantastic, the way you showed that sure NON AVIAN dinosaurs are no longer with us but not all dinosaurs are gone was amazing, showing the skull slowly be overtaken by the earth as it healed was also incredible just like this entire series has been. It's been a wild ride and I've enjoyed every second of it
Knowing about the asteroid and what's to come did not at all emotionally prepare me for the moment it does hit. One second it's all a normal peaceful day, everyone going with their lives, and the next there's only death everywhere. Really encapsulates how dinosaurs were just animals that lived their lives on this planet just like us, and the sheer tragedy of the extinction event. I really tried not to cry i really did. It really is a bittersweet note how we're able to tell their story today, through the remains of those that once lived, and through the ones that survived and still live with us today.
I never thought I would cry from a movie about dinosaurs. When I saw the shining light in the sky, my heart wrenched, because I knew what it was. When the T-rex went to stand by his mate before the impact, I started to tear up, and I cried when he saw his mate and offspring deceased. What a moving film. My heart lifted when I saw the crow and the flashbacks of the dinosaurs.
This is the end of the Cretaceous Period from 66 Million Years Ago, & This is The Fifth & Final Animated Short Film Of Dinosauria Series These Dinosaurs & Pterosaur Are From The Previous Animated Short Films: 8:42 Old Buck The Male Styracosaurus (Old Buck) 8:52 Troodon & Pachyrhinosaurus (Our Frozen Past) 8:58 Male Lambeosaurus & His Baby (A More Ancient Spring) 9:05 A Flock Of Geosternbergias (Pteranodon Sternbergi) (Sea & Sky) This is from this Short Film: 9:11 Tyrannosaurus Rex & Triceratops (The Last Tyrant) Edited: How did my comment got 186 likes?!
What I though was cool is most videos/documentaries show the meteor hitting as either really sad or so,eating that was gonna happen so it doesn’t matter. But this film found the perfect in between of emotion and the meteor being an unstoppable force.
Just a couple years ago I would have never even thought i would be crying over a dinosaur. I'm so glad we're finally portraying them a real living animals and not murderous monsters. I have enjoyed this series very much especially this one.
I cannot put into words how emotional this made me. Having just last week visited Sue in the Chicago Field Museum and reigniting my love of dinosaurs, and with the final movie in the Jurassic World trilogy coming to a local theater yesterday, this is the cherry on top of the fascination sundae I’ve slowly built throughout my life. The tribute you have created for these magnificent creatures is more profound than any museum could ever hope to make, even if they have the real relics from this glorious age of the Earth. The story and depth of each animal is so amazing, and the focus on making them feel like living and breathing creatures with sounds and textures that make sense to their anatomy and environments over dramatic movie tropes is incredible. The loss of the dinosaurs is tragic, but knowing that their unfortunate sacrifice has lead to the natural world of today makes me a little less sad about it. The living descendants of these animals should be given more appreciation, no matter how common they may be to see even just outside one’s window. For their ancestors were mighty, you have given those ancestors a poetically just rendition of how they lived and passed into the fossils we see them as today. Thank you.
Whilst I loved Prehistoric Planet, I feel this series captures the feeling of the 'Walking With' series far better. The lovely animation and other art really compliments the storytelling. I can honestly say that when the crow's feet came on screen I was weeping, and by the time the old bucks skull was on displaying I was bawling. This episode in particular is absolutely amazing and truly a crown jewel on this channel, and RUclips animation as a whole.
I was rather disappointed of how unfocused and sterile Prehistoric Planet was. The storytelling and crowded dinos, while unrealistic, make this so much more enjoyable to me.
this was beautiful, and brought me to tears. it reminds me of what made me fall in love with dinosaurs in the first place. The fact that they were real. These aren't the dragons and unicorns you learn about along side them as a kid. They were real. Real, and still full of all the majesty and wonder of the others that weren't. They are mysteries and stories and lives and all that's left are their bones. Theyre fascinating and exciting and tell us about our earths past. The imagination they evoke is amazing and the fact that we still have what little we do of them is a blessing. Thank you for your creation and exploration into these creatures lives. It made me cry and I love it all the more for that.
This A- makes me cry, so well done B- This is so damn realistic, like I LOVE how the herbivorous saurians do not react like they do in the movies, instead only be wary, but not fearful once the Tyrant arrives to drink. Also the dinosaur designs are amazing, please, keep on animating. I can see a great career here
Also this takes that 'Life goes on' saying from the movies, and makes it a reality. Like this is Beautiful to a capital B, I mean thee most definitely but the way you show the modern birds and compare them to saurians, whilst still making it realistic and story like all at once is saddening in a good way, and like how you were able to show how the death of earths most magnificent beings, brought the modern beings, humans, a new light into the bright past that ended in a void of volcanic disaster.
I've watched this series more than 10 times already and it always moves me to tears. They went extinct, but they gave humans a lot. Thanks for the great video!
Honestly, this got me choked up and in tears. It feels sort of strange to say, but I think you and this series have done them honor. I think we generally see the dinosaurs and their whole time on Earth as a cool and exciting period, but ultimately a doomed one. It’s the false "March of Progress" idea about change and evolution. That the Dinosaurs were either always doomed to die out or viewing their extinction as simply being what was necessary for us to originate. Dust your hands, that’s it. Fun for a sci-fi or monster movie, and largely still regarded as something more for kids. But these were amazing animals in their own right, as was the whole world they inhabited. I think you captured that 66 Million Year Old tragedy and triumph that was and is the Dinosaurs here. What’s more, we all too easily forget the fact that they did in fact survive this extinction. While their ancestors and relatives have passed from this world, the birds are still here. From Pigeon to Swan, Crow to Condor, they live on and I am very thankful for that.
As a bit of a lifelong dinosaur fan myself, I must say that this film was absolutely one of your best ever made, and was extremely thought-provoking and enjoyable to watch. The designs of the dinosaurs and landscapes themselves are amazing, not to mention the impeccable sound design and graphics. It’s just so amazing in every way and I am hoping you continue to make other prehistoric films, although your other projects are just as good. My favorite personal part may be the end of the video - some people need to realize that geese and ducks are as much of a dinosaur as a Tyrannosaurus or Triceratops! You’re truly doing the paleo community a huge favor! With this series, as well as other highly well made realistic depictions of dinosaurs being produced, I think Paleontology has a bright future ahead of itself. Good stuff indeed.
David, buddy... I dunno what to say other than thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving us the most beautiful depiction of the world of dinosaurs I've ever seen. Possibly even more than Prehistoric Planet. Seriously, you're an inspiration to us all. Hope you're doing well and best of luck in your future endeavours. And hey, if you ever do want The Dinosauria Series to continue, here's a list of places that I think would make for really cool episodes: Candeleros Formation *(includes Giganotosaurus, Limaysaurus, Buitreraptor, Ekrixinatosaurus, Andesaurus and Cronopio)* Cloverly Formation *(includes Deinonychus, Acrocanthosaurus, Tenontosaurus, Sauropelta, Sauroposeidon and Zephyrosaurus)* Elliot Formation *(includes Massospondylus, Heterodontosaurus, Dracovenator, Lesothosaurus, Megapnosaurus and Melanorosaurus)* Kaiparowits Formation *(includes Nasutoceratops, Parasaurolophus, Teratophoneus, Kosmoceratops and Deinosuchus)* Lower Shaximiao Formation *(includes Shunosaurus, Huayangosaurus, Yangchuanosaurus, Omeisaurus, Gasosaurus, Agilisaurus and Agustinaripterus)* Shishugou Formation *(includes Guanlong, Mamenchisaurus, Monolophosaurus, Sinraptor, Yinlong, Jiangjunosaurus and Kryptodrakon)* Tendaguru Formation *(includes Kentrosaurus, Elaphrosaurus, Dicraeosaurus, Giraffatitan, Dysalotosaurus and Veterupristisaurus)* Wessex Formation *(includes Iguanodon, Baryonyx, Polacanthus, Neovenator, Hypsilophodon, and Istiodactylus)* Xingezhuang Formation *(includes Shantungosaurus, Sinoceratops, Zhuchengtyrannus and Sinankylosaurus)* Yixian Formation *(includes Yutyrannus, Beipiaosaurus, Dilong, Psittacosaurus, Incisivosaurus, Sinornithosaurus, Zhenyuanlong, Sinosauropteryx, Zhenyuanopterus and Confuciusornis)*
2:10 the power in that gaze, my goodness🤯 The dread that settled in my bones when the music faded out and they watched the asteroid approach. The descrution that followed. But then the connotation between modern day birds and the transition to the museum? And the call backs! I actually started crying. This was an incredibly powerful work, one of your best. Cannot wait to see the Making of Video!
It also made me shed tears, especially when the sauropod found his entire herd dead and he also died right there, it was very inspiring and a very incredible trip :,)
I'm really sad this series is over, but I'm so glad you got to take a "break" and go back to doing something you enjoy and letting all of us feel what you feel. You definitely saved the best for last!
Serious Land Before Time vibes (Don Bluth's original, natch) and then you hit us with that timeskip and I genuinely cried. Fantastic job! Especially showing off how much of these incredible creatures survives in the birds.
There has been no animation that has made me feel this kind of way ever before. I've been following your Dinosauria Series from day 1, and I just want to say thank you so much for the incredible amount of passion and effort that you put into this series, successfully bringing these beautiful creatures to life and representing them how they deserve to be; living, feeling, and breathing animals. This has been an amazing journey, and thank you for creating said journey.
It shows people that dinosaurs are not something just for cinematic entertainment but also beings that should expand our perspective on what this planet is.
That dead silence...that complete lack of music during the final moments before collision. One little detail, yet it makes the scene more impactful. No pun intended.
This episode and series as a whole have lived up to and exceeded all the hype that I had for it. I was so excited when I first saw the trailer and kept getting blown away by each episode. The fact that this episode managed to make me tear up puts it in the place of masterpiece for me. I will cherish this series along with the likes of Walking With Dinosaurs and the Prehistoric Planet series. Thank you, truly, for bringing this piece of media to us all.
This is some of the Highest Quality Dinosaur media I’ve ever seen,it looks amazing,the music is incredible and it makes me feel a number of emotions despite the fact that the dinosaurs aren’t humanized which is something I can’t say for many other Documentaries,this series was truly remarkable and this ending is an amazing way to wrap up this amazing series
Congratulations, you've had me in tears for almost a fill ten minutes. This film - and all the others in this series- are absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for your outstanding work!!
Magnificent. Just magnificent. I really like the symbolism where the crow lands and every move, every sound it made was just like the Dinosaurs. Showing that while the Dinos are gone, their evolutionary legacy lives on in modern birds.
You've convinced me; dinosaurs were [and are] the most awesome things ever! I'm not sure any other work of dinosaur media has made that more clear than this series. I can't wait to see the "making of" video for this one!
I wasn't expecting to be so close to tearing up. This is such a masterpiece from the story to the very choice in music. The callback to some of your previous videos was just the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work!
At 6:25, the despair in the juvenile Alamosaurus, having spent its childhood on its own and finally after reaching the age of maturity and acceptance into a herd, only to discover it is the last of its kind, making it loose the will to survive. It tugged at my heart strings and made me think the title of the video was: "The Last Titan."
I’m a little late to the party but this film …… it’s beautiful. At first I thought it was gonna be a sad send off to the magnificent reptiles of the past, but it’s more bittersweet than that. Even millions of years later we marvel at their skeletons and the stories those bones tell us. Magnificent. Incredible.
Sitting here on a Saturday morning, actual tears streaming down my face, mourning these characters that you brought to life. The sadness of those left behind, the music, the flash forwards... absolute gut-wrenching perfection. Thank you for making this series and sharing it with us. Thank you for the love and care and attention. Thank you for giving me something I can share with my daughter. Thank you for making us feel.
Awesome! This should of changed people's minds that Tyrannosaurus didn't just go after prey when it came to the area, in the film, the Tyrannosaurus didn't just come there to attack, it came to drink water, but it was sad how the poor Alamosaurus saw all of his dead friends and how the Tyrannosaurus Rex saw his dead family 😔 and the poor baby Triceratops tried to get his mama to escape the volcano we saw but it was too late, the mother Triceratops had died from the meteor.
This is officially my favourite episode in the series! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making this fantastic episode! I love the dinosaurs, music and emotion that happened throughout the whole video. I hope to see more of this fantastic series one day, but in the mean time enjoy some relaxation.
wow. what can i even say to describe this? this is definitively the single most beautiful piece of paleomedia ive ever had the pleasure of witnessing. the parallel shots between the modern birds and their predecessors were brilliant, and showing what became of the dinos in the previous episodes made me super emotional. the callbacks to parts of your creative process for other episodes (the swans, duria antiquior, and the asymmetrical skull) felt so rewarding to notice! im not ashamed to say that i shed a lot of tears watching this
This was absolutely gorgeous and the ending montage was the most wonderful tribute to the dinosaurs that I could ever imagine. Also, that baby triceratops?! How DARE you dude
This one as a finale evokes so much emotion. the inevitable despair of the mass extinction, the avian dinosaurs showing that they are still here though not the same as before and the museum shots and flashbacks just really hitting that feeling of awe and wonder we feel about these creatures. such a lovely ending!
7:52 - I like that symbolism. It's nature's sly way of saying that the dinosaurs are still here, but it's just a little different now. BTW, I hope Disney/Pixar, Warner Bros, Universal, or some major studio hires you one day, because this entire series has been amazing. Great job with not only the animation, but the thrilling, heart tugging stories about these creatures that you were able to convey to us as well. Well done.
@@gatsbymaguire - I would've suggested Studio Ghibli, but depending on where this guy lives, that may be a little too far. Haha. It's still a good option though.
@@CBright7831Nothing would make me happier than a dinosaur film by Japan's greatest animation studio. Except maybe give their dinosaurs Super Sentai inspired color schemes.
Just came back here after watching “Jurassic World: Dominion”, and allow me to say that each of these 5 to 10-minute episodes (all made by ONE GUY, mind you) is FAR superior, in animation, artistic style, story-telling, paleontological accuracy and overall execution, to the mediocre, big-studio, 2.5-hour-long cash-grab that I saw just yesterday. Hats off to @Dead Sound for gracing us with this spectacular series and giving these always-fascinating creatures the respect they deserve. Here’s hoping we get an encore series, this time set in the Jurassic with (perhaps?) an episode featuring one of the most popular and iconic dinosaurs of all; the Thunder Lizard itself, Brontosaurus excelsus. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕 ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️(EDIT: Holy crud! Thank y’all for 100 likes! Glad to know I’m not the only one who feels this way! 😁😁😁😁😁)
I'd love to see an encore series set in the Jurassic too. This series is well done, portraying these animals as animals instead of multi ton monsters.🦕
The montage at the end is perhaps the most poigniant explanation i've ever seen of why we have such a fascination towards Dinosaurs and other extinct lifeforms... And not a single word was uttered. Thank you David, thank you so much :')
Oh my gosh, I almost started crying. This is a perfect tribute to the giant dinosaurs of the past, and a perfect love letter to their descendant birds of today.
3:00 This point, I feel that this moment should be talked about a bit more. Dead Sound has done an amazing job at potraying dinosaurs as actual animals and this is one example. Everybody talks about how the T-Rex is just taking a drink at the lake without attacking at all, and that is very good. This shot though, also naturalizes the T-Rex. We've been conditioned by Hollywood to see the T-Rex as something larger than life, something to be in awe and fear of, so when we see a T-Rex, we are expecting something big. A T-Rex with its mouth wide open means its going to roar, not this one. This T-Rex is just yawning. Something we, and most other animals, do often. This T-Rex isn't a powerful monster to display, this is a sleepy animal. Just as it would have been like millions of years ago.
And so it has come: the death of a dynasty. Gone, but not forgotten. Thank you for creating this beautiful series. Here's to all your future endeavors.
This is one of the best series that depicting dinosaurs as animals, not cold blooded monsters. Not to mention Prehistoric Planet is great and really cool, but it's still amazing that one man managed to create a masterpiece. Thank you David. I'll be waiting for future projects.
Сколько не смотрю, а все время хочется рыдать. Поразительно, как отличаются образы динозавров здесь от классического представления о жестоких тупых ящерицах. Автор создал настоящий шедевр, который очень выигрышно смотрится на фоне недавнего "Мира Юрского периода".
А вет за что динозавроми так зделали ат этово метиорита зорвалься в вулкане и воздух стал песочным грязным и динозавры не могли дышат все динозавры апатки пазауролофы птерадонты ти рекс спинозавров кархародонтозавры игуанадона и все динозавры которые умерли давно давно милеарда лет
It was truly amazing seeing this phenomenal series from beginning to end. David truly pulled out all the stops in order to stay faithful to these creatures and deliver to us what is undoubtedly the best pieces of paleo-media EVER conceived. From the herd of pachyrhinosaurs, to the mosasaurs of the ocean, to the giant sauropods. This final short ends with themes of tragedy and legacy. About how sad it is that these creatures' fates were decided and how we only have few pieces of their pasts. We will never get to see how they behaved or how they lived. All we can do is imagine and theorize as best as we can. Sometimes, it almost makes it unbelievable to believe these animals have existed, that birds are actually descendants from these massive dinosaurs? We can only imagine the world the dinosaurs roamed, just like David James Armsby here did.🦕🦖
We can guess but will never 100% confirm with how dinosaur life was or how they look, life spans, or anything until someone invents a time machine for now all we can do is learn from our modern day mammals,avians and reptiles
@@wenthulk8439 we know somewhat, example - hadrosaurs and their specific chambers in skulls resulted in them producing a somewhat trumpet type of sound, look up the corythosaurus study
The tragic loss of such amazing creatures, the opportunity it gave us to evolve and the fact that their descendants are still around us. This captures it all. Just tremendously moving.
This entire animation is forever gonna be my favorite example of visual storytelling. Again, I have to praise the use of color higher than anything. The blue of the water and the edge of the sky initially show peace, both of which turn shades of red after the meteor. The ring of black in the sky shows doom, which bends down towards the Tyrannosaurus, signifying the role of the predator, even in places of peace. The shot at 6:38 is gonna stick in my mind for so long, holy shit, I'm in love with the gaping mouth of this dead creature and the horrified cry that will never be heard. The focus on the little bird at the beginning that comes around with the raven after that very well-done time skip is probably my favorite part. And the ending legitimately made me cry. You're right, the legacy of these creatures isn't dead. They still inspire us so long after they're gone, hell, they inspired you to make this gorgeous series. I love how you added shots of their living remains, the swans and the ducks, it reckons back to your "Making of" series for Dinosauria. This all goes to show, the magic of life never dies with us. It simply reshapes itself.
As a character in my favorite MMORPG said: "Remember us. Remember that we once lived." I was literally near-tears at the end. Brilliant piece of work. I hope one day you'll either do a Pleistocene or Cenozoic version, or take up dinosaurs again.
It made me cry 😢 to think these were once living breathing creatures. Can't even imagine how truly terrifying those last days were for them. To see this feels as real as it might have been.💔
Man! What a dramatic conclusion to an absolutely gorgeous series! I absolutely sobbed at the ending. The music swelling up showing clips from all the other episodes to the reveal of the museum display being all that’s left of their world in our modern time. It was such a heartening wrap up to everything and really really well done. I wasn’t prepared for the feels, but man was it worth it! Excellent job!
![Quetzalcoatlus Challenging Tyrannosaurus [Prehistoric Planet]](/img/1.gif)
I didn't quite expect this film to end up being so huge and elaborate! :D
What a great journey it has been, I thoroughly enjoyed creating this series. I started this "Dinosauria" project a whole 18 months ago and I'm incredibly proud of the whole thing! ^_^
I really hope you all enjoy this send-off!

So Close!
Wiw
Yeah
Dis is amazing thank you for this series
The things u make are always amazing sir
I love how you showed the Tyrannosaurus rex wasn’t some evil monster but a living breathing animal like all the rest. The T. rex coexisted with all the others and in this moment wasn’t hungry, she came to drink water, therefore had no need to attack. It’s refreshing seeing the T. rex not as a killer but an animal trying to survive.
Not only that, but they were also bringing new life
Damn.
If it was killing, then that would still mean it's trying to survive 🤓
@@jamaaelmariano3242 The point really flew past your head, didn't it? Oftentimes Tyrannosaurus Rex is portrayed as ONLY killing like it is some kind of sadistic monster. In this, it was shown that she was just a predator and only killed when she had to.
That my friend is called judging ANIMALS! from a humanely point of view. for centuries wild predators in cartoons were painted as villains why? because we follow this just because it kills ( under any circumstances means its evil ) way, which is wrong, now I don't blame you for doing this because your a human yourself, as a matter of fact the animals do this to us as well, but just remember, they are animals, and in their world there is no right or wrong, there is only survival.
This video really encapsulates all that is fascinating about dinosaurs. They were not moronic reptiles doomed to extinction, they were magnificent beasts and titans that reached sizes and shapes that no animal had ever achieved before or since. Even when the asteroid fell, their legacies were not snuffed out. Their skeletons amaze us, and their descendants fill the skies and add wonder to the world today. They ruled the earth for 160 million years, and even today birds outnumber mammals by sheer species number alone. They were successes in every meaning of the word, and no group might ever reach their majesty.
i could not agree more
Well said
Birds.*ARE* dinosaurs
Hear hear.
Blue whale
Here's an interesting fact: given that grief is an emotion exhibited in both birds and crocodilians, it's incredibly likely that dinosaurs could experience it as well.
And given how distantly related crocodiles and birds are when only looking at Archosauria (the group they both are in), it COULD (Keyword: could) have shown up in other archosaurs too.
ALL RISE FOR SADGE PTEROSAURS AND RAUISUCHIANS!
shut up. I'm not crying, you're crying !
In order to have emotions, you need intelligence. I couldn't find any scientific paper talking about the emotional capabilities of crocodiles and birds that show grief (parrots, raptors, pidgeons...) are far, far more intelligent then most (I'd even argue all) reptiles. So it's more likely only more intelligent dinosaurs could feel "grief".
Yeah like some birds that suicide after losing mates
@@alisav8394 in determining the subjective experience of a living thing scientific studies aren't much better than anecdotal evidence, and there is quite a bit of anecdotal evidence of crocodilians exhibiting complex behaviours quite similar to the behaviours expected of a particular emotion that would be felt in a particular situation. For example, the famous American alligator named Saturn starved himself to the point of near death (in fact he would have died without medical intervention) after his female companion died. If it wasn't grief that caused this, what could it have been?
4:08 "were they scared?" "No, they were terrified..." The little rex hug always makes me cry :(
I love that this short film doesn't just focus on the death and destruction, it celebrates the fact that dinosaurs existed in the first place, and in some ways they never left. It celebrates how much meaning they have to us. We write books and make movies that transcend generations. We build replicas and display what little remains they left behind for all to see. Dinosaurs are so important to humanity because we thrive on curiosity and exploration, and dinosaurs complement that natural drive to discover. Ever since they were first discovered, we have been trying to piece together what little evidence remains in order to understand animals that died out millions of years ago
Not only that, but also inspired us to protect ourselves and the planet aswell so we don't end up like them.
A quote that I made myself goes by what you guys said. “Learn from the past to protect the future.”
@@jarodheuer4171 Because of that lesson, humanity is now making satellites with the specific purpose of knocking asteroids away from Earth
More like animals that died never
@@theoofer478 I can't tell if this is rage bait or you're just taking about avian dinosaurs aka birds.
So here comes the end of great series. I'm not gonna lie, it was strong. This part, unlike the previous ones, did not have a plot that focused around a single dinosaur or group of species. But the scenes and overall atmosphere perfectly convey how inevitable and sad the extinction of these amazing creatures is. However, they have not disappeared without a trace. We remember them, and they can even inspire people to make amazing series like these.
I enjoyed watching every second of Dinosauria animations and hope to see more dino-themed stuff from you. You are very good at this.

Про конец Дино пл
its just crazy to me if the astroid hit more to the left all the dinosaurs wouldnt of died some would've died not all
хаха не ожидал тебя здесь встретить
And also showed that some dinosaurs, the birds, are still with us today.
@@cursedalien ... it kinda talked about that in the short or showed it
I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the quality of this work you’ve done. This was more than just a depiction of life lost to time. It's a tribute. To what came before and what we have, now. We've grown up always hearing about how these animals were among the most magnificent, monstrous, and misunderstood, but we could never really get an accurate depiction of them in action. If they were given a chance to shine, it was in a set of IPs made by people that (usually) only treated them as a means to an end. Now, we live in a day and age where ordinary people can bring these colossi to life. This series has inspired millions around the world to further analyze the majesty of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, and birds. I'm one of those people. Thank you, David, for your amazing work. I look forward to seeing what comes next. In the meantime, I'll be rewatching this series every day for invigoration. Best of luck, stay safe, and have a good one. :')
Yes, things portrayed realistically is the best, just shows the truth and sometimes beauty of things, like dinosaurs :D
wow
Stfu this series isn't realistic at all
@@thunderee6780 Its not realistic, it really shows how much you know about the subject lmao
@@shoother2257 Okay okay, he might’ve taken some creative liberties, but aside from the arctic episode what was wrong? I’d personally love to know what you think.
8:17 "We have since built museums to celebrate the past, and spent decades studying prehistoric lives. And if all of this has taught us anything, it's this: No species lasts forever." (ending narration from WALKING WITH BEASTS)
The tenacity of the dinosaurs proves that clades are neigh immortal.
Wise words
Probably means our species will go extinct one day
The environment is constantly changing, even when humans have nothing to do with it, and if you can't adapt to the change in time.........Bye bye
@@brotherhoodofsteeld.c.chap1917 Yeah not only are dinosaurs not extinct they are thriving.
At first the film seemed just a depressing reality, a sad send off to an incredible prehistoric world. But the ending, oh my word it was incredible. How you effortlessly communicated the idea that, while gone, the traits of Dinosaurs still live on in modern day birds with the crow on the skull scene was inspiring. And the music swelling at the end was incredible. This is the first piece of media to make me tear up in years. Bravo!
Still sad for me. Sadly beautiful.
Dinosaurs may be gone, but their ghosts still fly among us.
@Nika my hens are dinosaurs the whole time?
At least birds are in the dinosaur ancestors
A little too much hype over some made-up monsters, don't you think?
I watched the early release and it left me crying with how beautiful you conveyed this.
Seeing it again now, it's even more powerful than before. The way the father tyrannosaurus tries to protect his family from the inevitable.
How happy and at peace they were. 🥺 This was one of best portrayals of the extinction event. You have given us such a priceless and timeless gift.
🥺..yes
the best evolution ever created 😭
I can agree this was terribly sad but it was a great wrap up to the series, I got tears in my eyes toward the middle to the end it was just so amazing this series was wonderful, I don’t think there could have been a better way to send off this series, And David is truly a spectacular artist and animator. I will always re watch this series as a reminder of passion and will to do what you love, as well as just to pay tribute to these amazing creature lost in time, and although we will probably never know what it was really like, I’d like to believe that what happened here in this series would be accurate enough and solid enough to help people understand dinosaurs better at least younger people, anyways I agree completely this was an astounding series that definitely brought the stakes and emotions!
very sad ending
Just hope the tyrants in the world end like this.
That was the mother, actually, the male probably died in the blast so she ate him to survive
This was beautiful and touched all of us with sadness, these weren't just battling brutes that you see in the movies, but living animals.
You started the series because you were bored and didn't want to make things you didn't like doing anymore.
Its been a roller coaster of greatness, better than most paleo animators. YOU were one of the best, YOU inspired a lot of people, YOU are the one that started this series that is basically equal to prehistoric planet.
Time to say bye..
not just equal, better if you ask me
Tyrannosaurus rex was not a monster its only an animal who could not avoid death so its careful with its actions
@@hsdinoman2267 no lo es
Beautiful, beautifully said.
👏👏👏
It’s true but Jurassic world is the one movie that applies to your comment
I am literally on tears watching this, seeing the dinosaurs grief over their dead families, Seeing them actually cry in pain over it. It’s so depressing.
So sad 😞
If it's any consolation, the rex wouldn't have considered it much at all.
Millions of them fill the skies today, they are an example to all living things.
There are so many things I'm just now noticing with this film, like how post-impact you can see the surviving dinosaurs are still visibly ill and frail, like their eyes being puffed up and watery from the smoke and ash, their sunken faces from rapid weight loss or internal injury, etc
It's all so gut-wrenching
Indeed it is
Yeah, and to think that the dinosaurs within a 1000km radius of the impact were said to be vaporised by the thermal wave, and that the hot cloud of debris the earth would be enveloped in hours later would make many others die from overheating. Many died slowly, many others also died slowly, but from being cooked alive… horrific.
Man, you are a wizard sir, toying with our emotions! Didn't expect to finish this crying like a baby.
Esse final foi muito depressivo meu
Caraca tu aq mn kkkk
Digo o mesmo, esse me atingiu com mais força que "Sharp teeth" o t-rex vendo toda a sua família morta, o pequeno triceratops acabando sem sua mãe e o saurópode(não consegui identificar qual seria, não sou boa lembrando de nomes de dinossauros) vendo que provalemente era o último vivo na área e já estava sem forças, esse final foi extremamente triste, mas eles não se foram para sempre, estão entre nós, como foi mostrado com as semelhanças entre o corvo e os dinossauros que vimos antes.
@@v128H acho q o sauropode n sei direito mas acho q e um dreadgnoutos n sei falar o nome desse bixo

The scene when the crow is compared to the dinosaurs brought tears into my eyes, how far have time went, and simply fantastic and amazing to realise that birds are the descendants of dinosaurs, they are all around us, roaming the skies and making the world more colourful with their unique behaviours and birdsongs.
Update: Yeah this is old, and I wanna make a correction. Birds ARE dinosaurs
Not a crow
Nvm
Birds aren’t descendants of dinosaurs, they are dinosaurs.
@@metatroubleindeed long live dinosauria
@@Skythe.sounds like a crow looks like a raven.
I can see why someone called this "the saddest dinosaur short film ever made." And yet hope is still found amongst such tragedy: the hope that life goes on and a legacy endures. Beautifully done, sir, beautifully done.
I've gotta be honest, the scenes following the impact of the asteroid nearly broke me.
That lone Sauropod, who I can only assume wandered for days just so it could die with its herd, as well as the scarred Rex just... Lying there. It was such an eerie, yet heartbreaking way to depict the extinction.
Hats off to you, David. This entire series has been a great ride.
As well as the baby triceratops and it’s dead parent
@@splurg6180 that was so sad, and its only one dinosaur it shown, in reality there were probably thousands of baby Dino who became orphan after the astroid took down their parents and siblings, imagine a Dino hatchling hatching from its egg only to see bodies everywhere, his siblings iter dead before they hatched, died after hatched or straight up crashed in their egg under the body of their mother as she tried to protect them
R.I.P alamosaurus
@@HarmonyOCman, imagine hatching and being completely blocked into your nest under this massive roof above you thats your dead parent
The few days of living before you starved would be so lonely and crushing
@@BluestTable that's dark, but that's reality
I just love how you depict the predators as A PART of the ecosystem, rather than monsters existing above it.
It really represents the harmony of nature in ways that dramatised versions of prehistory don’t convey.
Prehsitoric Planet definitely conveyed this too back in the second episode
1:49
I love how the Tyrannosaurus rex didn’t just go berserk on any of the smaller dinosaurs and started chasing after them, and the herbivores just watching it to keep a close look just so they know he’s not a threat.
I knew this was coming. You can't talk about dinosaurs without talking about their end. But I was not ready for the emotional gut punch this delivered. Holy crap what a tribute!
Few things in this world genuinely deserve the title "Masterpiece" but this series exceeds all. A magnificent piece that all words of praise wont do it justice
One of the reasons I think we, as humans, are so fascinated with dinosaurs is we sympathize with them.
They managed to crawl their way out of the Great Dying, arguably the single worst mass extinction event in the entire history of our planet; the closest macroscopic life ever came to complete extinction. They were survivors and managed to completely dominate the planet for over 200 million years, while we've barely even been around for a percentage of that time. They were in their prime, at the top of their game, and could've gone on to rule the planet forever . . . and then a random rock came along and ruined everything. They didn't know what was coming their way or what was happening when it hit. They couldn't have done anything as their numbers quickly dwindled past the point of recovery. The rug was completely yanked out from under their feet and there was nothing they could do about it.
We humans often love to root for the underdogs because we have an innate need for there to be justice or balance. And I'll be damned if the dinosaurs weren't the biggest underdogs of all time - they didn't deserve what happened to them, never did anything that would have warranted having their entire world absolutely destroyed. We ache and sympathize with these amazing animals not only because we never got to meet them, but what happened to them was so completely and utterly unfair.
You, sir, have truly captured that. Throughout this entire series, you've managed to do what professional studios with millions of dollars backing them up couldn't or just flat out wouldn't: portray dinosaurs not as monsters to fear or revile, but as actual animals with complex behaviors, natural looks, and even emotions without explicitly anthropomorphizing them. And all by *yourself.*
If that doesn't deserve some kind of recognition, then I don't know what does.
Dinosaurs BENEFITTED from the Great Dying and from the End-Triassic Mass Extinction; the Great Dying allowed them and other archosaurs to exist in the first place, and the End-Triassic Mass Extinction eliminated most of the pseudosuchians, which had been dominant over the dinosaurs in the Triassic.
So it’s only fitting that dinosaurs, too, would be brought down (save birds) by another mass extinction. They came into this world because of a mass extinction, built their global empire because of another mass extinction, and that empire was destroyed by yet another mass extinction.
Agreed. 100% agreed.
Oh this isnt close to the worse mass extinctions 90% have happened hell during the ice age there was a time 99% of humans died it's just the one we can see the most creatures because the mass extinctions before it we get barely any fossils because they were destroyed but there were points were earth was all but neutered
Everything else I agree wirh
Permian-Triassic extinction is counted as the worste when I looked it up but there are others essentially the first that nearly wiped everything 90% dead while Ordovician got like 86% compared to 75% of the dinosaurs
oh no, there has been mass extinction much worse than the dinosaurs.
This gives me the chills. The sensation that something that big, not walked, thrived, where I stand just makes me feel alive. There is nothing that can overtake my love for these ancient animals, and this show not only enhances my curiosity, but also something inside. All of these feelings were beautifully encapsulated into the 9 minutes I watched.
Just imagine how miserable the truly last tyrannosaur must’ve been before death. Or any hatchlings that were born into a dead world, not knowing they weren’t even given a chance from the get.
This music really hammers everything home
I wanna know if it even has a name, the music
@@thatoneclone6755 it’s in the description
The way the two tyrannosaurs embraced eachother when the sky lit up made me legit almost cry. It was so soft. I love seeing these creatures shown in such a tender light, they're animals with feelings. These videos evoke the strongest emotion in me, I wish I could go back and see them, just living their life.

It’s crazy how you were able to make me miss a creature I’ve never seen alive with my own eyes. It feels like the story brings back memories of a lost friend, and knowing that they live on in others. Very powerful. Thank you
When I thought the peak of dinosaur content was behind me in old tv shows, you showed up and brought them back in the coolest way imaginable. Thank you for this series and all of the joy and entertainment you’ve brought to us!
Yes dinosaur content in the recent years are becoming mediocre and scarce but thanks to this series, and prehistoric planet it showed us that the dinosaur media is not truly dead and its not yet in its peak its not the end but the mere beginning of the new dinosaur renaissance breaking the mold of hyper violent monsters and killing machines who just kill for no reason but instead introducing the public feathered but not stupid dinosaurs, dinosaurs being living creatures made of flesh, muscle and bone not hatred and the craving for blood. Just living creatures there really are no good and evil in nature only the will to survive the world and to carry the legacy through their descendants.
Boy oh boy, wait until you see David Attenborough's Prehistoric Planet
@@goji5052 My roommate got Apple TV just so we could watch it. Too bad our trial ran out last week!
Judging from the comments, i wasn't the only one tearing up and becoming a complete emotional mess by the end! It's funny that the fossils in museums and awe-inspiring displays made me cry more than the actual death & extinction scenes. maybe because i was just deeply moved by the deep love and passion put into this film & whole series -- a passion that unites everyone who came here to watch this. Thank you David for this whole series of masterpieces that are not only educational and beautiful but also life-changing
I'm full-on crying right now over this short, just the tragedy followed by the beauty of the world as it recovered and new creatures filled the niches left by the dinosaurs and took on their traits and aghhgghjasdasghdasgh. so much love and beauty in the world . still crying
I think it's because seeing the fossils reminds you that this was a real scenario, not just a sad animation. You've at least seen images of real dinosaur fossils, and possibly even seen them in real life. So by showing that they are a result of this tragedy, it solidifies it as not just a depiction of tragedy, but of a very real one that happened long ago.
Crying with you dw
Just keep in mind mammals wouldnt had come on top if not from that giant meteor.
The way you handle the theme of death in your stories is incredible. In dinosauria especially, you treat it as somewhat of a new beginning for life, without ever undermining how tragic it is for the single creatures involved with it. It's really beautiful. You really manage to say, without words, "death is just nature, and that's... ok" without having to take away the sadness and emotional weight of it, and that's really hard to pull off
Life and Death are two faces of a same coin, united in this wonderful oddisey that transcends eras, and I deeply respect both of them
Your so wise cloudin
This is just stunning. The way the dinosaurs have been portrayed is a perfect balance between what was probably reality with a touch of "humanity" that creates much more emotion. The artwork is beautiful and the music is perfect. What a piece of art.
The bit at the end where the tyrannosaurs body slowly becomes morphed and covered by sediment over time is amazing, what a great video! You’ve really brought the dinosaurs world to life on a poetic and beautiful way very few have managed to achieve!
I find it so beautiful how you depict these dinosaurs as real animals, rather than cold blooded killers. It really brings these animations to life, and the music, the music fits so well, and makes many of your animations more emotional than it should be. You’re awesome, keep up the great content!
8:58
I need to be honest, this shit right here, makes me want to cry every single time. It's already so cute and happy seeing that our protagonist had offspring, but the music that goes right alongside it just makes it cut even deeper. AND I LOVE IT!!! God bless this masterpiece of a series.
RIGHT? Omg that was the cutest part for me 😭😭
What I really love about the ending is that it shows the dinosaurs we met along the way and we even see how they've come so far.
The old Styracosaurus still has his territory and herd.
The mother Troodon and her surviving offspring moved out and find a new and safer home.
The male Lambeosaurus finally has a family.
And the Geosternbergia flock still thrive.
David, this series has been incredible! I don’t know how you’ve been able to make it this good. This film was awesome and I hope to see more out of the dinosauria series in the future
Same
I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but this is the finale of the dinosauria series :(
Maybe he should continue the series post-comet, and explore the coming age of mammals, kind of like how the walking with beasts series takes place after walking with dinosaurs
Yea I know it’s the end but who knows. With all the new dinosaurs being discovered every day and how many we know of there’s an endless possibility of the dinosauria series. But this was an incredible ending and I don’t know how David would top it with another ending
@@EngineerRiff That's a great idea!
man coming back to this still gets me choked up. these were real animals just living their lives, and they all collectively faced one of the worst if not the worst single days that life on earth has ever endured, and the hell that followed. We are lucky that any of them made it, and i love how this film celebrates what they left behind, both living and stone.
Actually, the second worst of all time...! Yeah... still gut wrenching...
@@darkonyx6995 DONT BRING THE PERMIAN INTO THIS
@@piglin469 To be fair while the end-permian extinction was more dramatic, it also took place over a longer period of time. It's not like the end cretaceous extinction where the worst of it really did happen in just a day.
@@serpentarius1194 true but Permian had a higher body count
@@darkonyx6995actually, they had like the fifth worst day the earth ever had? there were like 4 mass extinctions before the yucatan meteorite
Gone but not forgotten.
Like, u know where this is going right from the beginning, but yet it still just hit SO HARD when the birds come home to roost amongst the footsteps of their ancestors and the music takes off. Plus seeing all the skeletons in the museum. It's so bittersweet. Such horrible tragedy and yet such triumph at the same time. It IS the story of the dinosaurs, the truest one of all, the story that can't be disputed:
They were here. They were mighty. And they live on through our endless love and fascination.
And you told that story beautifully.
That little bit of your previous films playing on the side screen in the museum was a nice touch!
We would a Extincted them or vice versa if we shared the planet.
I remember showing this at the school assembly, towards the end when the video ended, everyone in the hall was sobbing/crying. The little kids cried the most while the teachers were speechless till when the assembly ended, everyone got up and started clapping saying that it was one of the most impact short film they have ever seen!
What a time to be a dino fan, getting wonderful media from documentaries, blockbusters, and indie artists alike. Dinosauria and its finale might just be my favorite that's come out, a perfect blend of science and design without sacrificing any storytelling or cinematic artistry. Just about everything this year has reminded me why I love these creatures.
Yeah, 2022 is a year of paleo nerds. We have Prehistoric Planet, Jurassic World Dominion, JW Camp Cretaceous final season, JWE 2 DLCs, Prehistoric Kingdom, possibly a second season of Primal, not even mentioning some other projects and new paleo discoveries. What a time to be alive for a lover of prehistoric animals.
that was absolutely fantastic, the way you showed that sure NON AVIAN dinosaurs are no longer with us but not all dinosaurs are gone was amazing, showing the skull slowly be overtaken by the earth as it healed was also incredible just like this entire series has been. It's been a wild ride and I've enjoyed every second of it
Knowing about the asteroid and what's to come did not at all emotionally prepare me for the moment it does hit. One second it's all a normal peaceful day, everyone going with their lives, and the next there's only death everywhere. Really encapsulates how dinosaurs were just animals that lived their lives on this planet just like us, and the sheer tragedy of the extinction event. I really tried not to cry i really did. It really is a bittersweet note how we're able to tell their story today, through the remains of those that once lived, and through the ones that survived and still live with us today.
Although we might never see these animals with our own eyes they will always remain a part of our world
I never thought I would cry from a movie about dinosaurs. When I saw the shining light in the sky, my heart wrenched, because I knew what it was.
When the T-rex went to stand by his mate before the impact, I started to tear up, and I cried when he saw his mate and offspring deceased.
What a moving film. My heart lifted when I saw the crow and the flashbacks of the dinosaurs.
This is the end of the Cretaceous Period from 66 Million Years Ago, & This is The Fifth & Final Animated Short Film Of Dinosauria Series
These Dinosaurs & Pterosaur Are From The Previous Animated Short Films:
8:42 Old Buck The Male Styracosaurus (Old Buck)
8:52 Troodon & Pachyrhinosaurus (Our Frozen Past)
8:58 Male Lambeosaurus & His Baby (A More Ancient Spring)
9:05 A Flock Of Geosternbergias (Pteranodon Sternbergi) (Sea & Sky)
This is from this Short Film:
9:11 Tyrannosaurus Rex & Triceratops (The Last Tyrant)
Edited: How did my comment got 186 likes?!
What I though was cool is most videos/documentaries show the meteor hitting as either really sad or so,eating that was gonna happen so it doesn’t matter. But this film found the perfect in between of emotion and the meteor being an unstoppable force.
Make that 187
Just a couple years ago I would have never even thought i would be crying over a dinosaur. I'm so glad we're finally portraying them a real living animals and not murderous monsters. I have enjoyed this series very much especially this one.
I cannot put into words how emotional this made me. Having just last week visited Sue in the Chicago Field Museum and reigniting my love of dinosaurs, and with the final movie in the Jurassic World trilogy coming to a local theater yesterday, this is the cherry on top of the fascination sundae I’ve slowly built throughout my life. The tribute you have created for these magnificent creatures is more profound than any museum could ever hope to make, even if they have the real relics from this glorious age of the Earth. The story and depth of each animal is so amazing, and the focus on making them feel like living and breathing creatures with sounds and textures that make sense to their anatomy and environments over dramatic movie tropes is incredible. The loss of the dinosaurs is tragic, but knowing that their unfortunate sacrifice has lead to the natural world of today makes me a little less sad about it. The living descendants of these animals should be given more appreciation, no matter how common they may be to see even just outside one’s window. For their ancestors were mighty, you have given those ancestors a poetically just rendition of how they lived and passed into the fossils we see them as today. Thank you.
Bones, and the assemblence of them, are echoes of the past. These bones tell stories, they offer wisdom. And I think thats beautiful.
Whilst I loved Prehistoric Planet, I feel this series captures the feeling of the 'Walking With' series far better. The lovely animation and other art really compliments the storytelling.
I can honestly say that when the crow's feet came on screen I was weeping, and by the time the old bucks skull was on displaying I was bawling.
This episode in particular is absolutely amazing and truly a crown jewel on this channel, and RUclips animation as a whole.
I was rather disappointed of how unfocused and sterile Prehistoric Planet was. The storytelling and crowded dinos, while unrealistic, make this so much more enjoyable to me.
@@macroglossumstellatarum5932 Little arms go brrr
@@knight9461 True.
@@macroglossumstellatarum5932 "unrealistic"
this was beautiful, and brought me to tears. it reminds me of what made me fall in love with dinosaurs in the first place. The fact that they were real. These aren't the dragons and unicorns you learn about along side them as a kid. They were real. Real, and still full of all the majesty and wonder of the others that weren't. They are mysteries and stories and lives and all that's left are their bones. Theyre fascinating and exciting and tell us about our earths past. The imagination they evoke is amazing and the fact that we still have what little we do of them is a blessing. Thank you for your creation and exploration into these creatures lives. It made me cry and I love it all the more for that.
I love your comment!!!
Unicorns are just one horned goats. Also narvals were once called unicorns
They were real life dragons
This
A- makes me cry, so well done
B- This is so damn realistic, like I LOVE how the herbivorous saurians do not react like they do in the movies, instead only be wary, but not fearful once the Tyrant arrives to drink.
Also the dinosaur designs are amazing, please, keep on animating. I can see a great career here
Also this takes that 'Life goes on' saying from the movies, and makes it a reality.
Like this is Beautiful to a capital B, I mean thee most definitely but the way you show the modern birds and compare them to saurians, whilst still making it realistic and story like all at once is saddening in a good way, and like how you were able to show how the death of earths most magnificent beings, brought the modern beings, humans, a new light into the bright past that ended in a void of volcanic disaster.
I've watched this series more than 10 times already and it always moves me to tears.
They went extinct, but they gave humans a lot. Thanks for the great video!
Honestly, this got me choked up and in tears. It feels sort of strange to say, but I think you and this series have done them honor. I think we generally see the dinosaurs and their whole time on Earth as a cool and exciting period, but ultimately a doomed one. It’s the false "March of Progress" idea about change and evolution. That the Dinosaurs were either always doomed to die out or viewing their extinction as simply being what was necessary for us to originate. Dust your hands, that’s it. Fun for a sci-fi or monster movie, and largely still regarded as something more for kids. But these were amazing animals in their own right, as was the whole world they inhabited. I think you captured that 66 Million Year Old tragedy and triumph that was and is the Dinosaurs here. What’s more, we all too easily forget the fact that they did in fact survive this extinction. While their ancestors and relatives have passed from this world, the birds are still here. From Pigeon to Swan, Crow to Condor, they live on and I am very thankful for that.
There are more species of avian dinosaur than any other vertebrate, the other group being bony fish.
As a bit of a lifelong dinosaur fan myself, I must say that this film was absolutely one of your best ever made, and was extremely thought-provoking and enjoyable to watch. The designs of the dinosaurs and landscapes themselves are amazing, not to mention the impeccable sound design and graphics. It’s just so amazing in every way and I am hoping you continue to make other prehistoric films, although your other projects are just as good.
My favorite personal part may be the end of the video - some people need to realize that geese and ducks are as much of a dinosaur as a Tyrannosaurus or Triceratops!
You’re truly doing the paleo community a huge favor! With this series, as well as other highly well made realistic depictions of dinosaurs being produced, I think Paleontology has a bright future ahead of itself. Good stuff indeed.
David, buddy... I dunno what to say other than thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving us the most beautiful depiction of the world of dinosaurs I've ever seen. Possibly even more than Prehistoric Planet. Seriously, you're an inspiration to us all. Hope you're doing well and best of luck in your future endeavours.
And hey, if you ever do want The Dinosauria Series to continue, here's a list of places that I think would make for really cool episodes:

@Kahanu Ermeyas-Tulu yup
@Kahanu Ermeyas-Tulu It literally is. Birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs.
@@stuffynosepatrolNope, birds ARE dinosaurs
@@lhamaseveramenteirritada9760 yes but they still evolved from dinosaurs. This is like saying "humans are apes but humans didn't evolve from apes".
I loved the little "Dinosaurs live on in birds" moment you made with the crow on the T-rex skull. very nice.
Tribute to Sue the trex
And yeah very good
And since all birds are the dinosaurs of today, one could say the corvids are the smartest dinosaurs ever in natural history.
2:10 the power in that gaze, my goodness🤯
The dread that settled in my bones when the music faded out and they watched the asteroid approach.
The descrution that followed.
But then the connotation between modern day birds and the transition to the museum? And the call backs!
I actually started crying.
This was an incredibly powerful work, one of your best.
Cannot wait to see the Making of Video!
I also cried XD This, this was amazing.
It also made me shed tears, especially when the sauropod found his entire herd dead and he also died right there, it was very inspiring and a very incredible trip :,)
I'm really sad this series is over, but I'm so glad you got to take a "break" and go back to doing something you enjoy and letting all of us feel what you feel. You definitely saved the best for last!
Serious Land Before Time vibes (Don Bluth's original, natch) and then you hit us with that timeskip and I genuinely cried. Fantastic job! Especially showing off how much of these incredible creatures survives in the birds.
There has been no animation that has made me feel this kind of way ever before. I've been following your Dinosauria Series from day 1, and I just want to say thank you so much for the incredible amount of passion and effort that you put into this series, successfully bringing these beautiful creatures to life and representing them how they deserve to be; living, feeling, and breathing animals. This has been an amazing journey, and thank you for creating said journey.
It shows people that dinosaurs are not something just for cinematic entertainment but also beings that should expand our perspective on what this planet is.
Between Prehistoric Planet, Dominion, and your gem of a series you've really helped dino-media this year be something special. Thank you so much.
And what a perfect way to end this dino season i'll miss these last few months
Jurassic world dominion is same as prehistoric planet
But prehistoric planet is more accurate
Yeah, Prehistoric Planet is amazing, the best dinosaur documentarie.
That dead silence...that complete lack of music during the final moments before collision. One little detail, yet it makes the scene more impactful. No pun intended.
This episode and series as a whole have lived up to and exceeded all the hype that I had for it. I was so excited when I first saw the trailer and kept getting blown away by each episode. The fact that this episode managed to make me tear up puts it in the place of masterpiece for me. I will cherish this series along with the likes of Walking With Dinosaurs and the Prehistoric Planet series. Thank you, truly, for bringing this piece of media to us all.
Ye
This is some of the Highest Quality Dinosaur media I’ve ever seen,it looks amazing,the music is incredible and it makes me feel a number of emotions despite the fact that the dinosaurs aren’t humanized which is something I can’t say for many other Documentaries,this series was truly remarkable and this ending is an amazing way to wrap up this amazing series
Congratulations, you've had me in tears for almost a fill ten minutes. This film - and all the others in this series- are absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for your outstanding work!!
Magnificent. Just magnificent.
I really like the symbolism where the crow lands and every move, every sound it made was just like the Dinosaurs. Showing that while the Dinos are gone, their evolutionary legacy lives on in modern birds.
You've convinced me; dinosaurs were [and are] the most awesome things ever! I'm not sure any other work of dinosaur media has made that more clear than this series. I can't wait to see the "making of" video for this one!
I wasn't expecting to be so close to tearing up. This is such a masterpiece from the story to the very choice in music. The callback to some of your previous videos was just the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work!
At 6:25, the despair in the juvenile Alamosaurus, having spent its childhood on its own and finally after reaching the age of maturity and acceptance into a herd, only to discover it is the last of its kind, making it loose the will to survive. It tugged at my heart strings and made me think the title of the video was: "The Last Titan."
I’m a little late to the party but this film …… it’s beautiful. At first I thought it was gonna be a sad send off to the magnificent reptiles of the past, but it’s more bittersweet than that. Even millions of years later we marvel at their skeletons and the stories those bones tell us. Magnificent. Incredible.
Sitting here on a Saturday morning, actual tears streaming down my face, mourning these characters that you brought to life. The sadness of those left behind, the music, the flash forwards... absolute gut-wrenching perfection. Thank you for making this series and sharing it with us. Thank you for the love and care and attention. Thank you for giving me something I can share with my daughter. Thank you for making us feel.
Awesome! This should of changed people's minds that Tyrannosaurus didn't just go after prey when it came to the area, in the film, the Tyrannosaurus didn't just come there to attack, it came to drink water, but it was sad how the poor Alamosaurus saw all of his dead friends and how the Tyrannosaurus Rex saw his dead family 😔 and the poor baby Triceratops tried to get his mama to escape the volcano we saw but it was too late, the mother Triceratops had died from the meteor.
This is officially my favourite episode in the series! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into making this fantastic episode! I love the dinosaurs, music and emotion that happened throughout the whole video. I hope to see more of this fantastic series one day, but in the mean time enjoy some relaxation.
Its is nice that you make these dinosaurs as well animals rather than just mindless monsters
wow. what can i even say to describe this? this is definitively the single most beautiful piece of paleomedia ive ever had the pleasure of witnessing. the parallel shots between the modern birds and their predecessors were brilliant, and showing what became of the dinos in the previous episodes made me super emotional. the callbacks to parts of your creative process for other episodes (the swans, duria antiquior, and the asymmetrical skull) felt so rewarding to notice! im not ashamed to say that i shed a lot of tears watching this
This was absolutely gorgeous and the ending montage was the most wonderful tribute to the dinosaurs that I could ever imagine. Also, that baby triceratops?! How DARE you dude
I know, that was a gut punch. He knew what he was doing.
This one as a finale evokes so much emotion. the inevitable despair of the mass extinction, the avian dinosaurs showing that they are still here though not the same as before and the museum shots and flashbacks just really hitting that feeling of awe and wonder we feel about these creatures. such a lovely ending!
No matter how many times I see it, it keeps moving me. They’re not gone, they’re still here ❤
7:52 - I like that symbolism. It's nature's sly way of saying that the dinosaurs are still here, but it's just a little different now.
BTW, I hope Disney/Pixar, Warner Bros, Universal, or some major studio hires you one day, because this entire series has been amazing. Great job with not only the animation, but the thrilling, heart tugging stories about these creatures that you were able to convey to us as well. Well done.
No, no, screw Disney and Pixar.
Don't let them get their filthy hands on this guy's talent.
@@gatsbymaguire - I would've suggested Studio Ghibli, but depending on where this guy lives, that may be a little too far. Haha. It's still a good option though.
@@CBright7831 ah yes... ghibli 😌
Birdzi: Bite me!
@@CBright7831Nothing would make me happier than a dinosaur film by Japan's greatest animation studio. Except maybe give their dinosaurs Super Sentai inspired color schemes.
Just came back here after watching “Jurassic World: Dominion”, and allow me to say that each of these 5 to 10-minute episodes (all made by ONE GUY, mind you) is FAR superior, in animation, artistic style, story-telling, paleontological accuracy and overall execution, to the mediocre, big-studio, 2.5-hour-long cash-grab that I saw just yesterday. Hats off to @Dead Sound for gracing us with this spectacular series and giving these always-fascinating creatures the respect they deserve. Here’s hoping we get an encore series, this time set in the Jurassic with (perhaps?) an episode featuring one of the most popular and iconic dinosaurs of all; the Thunder Lizard itself, Brontosaurus excelsus. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕 ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️(EDIT: Holy crud! Thank y’all for 100 likes! Glad to know I’m not the only one who feels this way! 😁😁😁😁😁)
Agree! This series being made with full of love and respect for the animals
Fun fact until 2015 Brontosaurus wasn't a valid dinosaur. As of 2015 it is valid again.
I'd love to see an encore series set in the Jurassic too. This series is well done, portraying these animals as animals instead of multi ton monsters.🦕
Comparing a documentary like short times a Jurassic park movie isn’t exactly fair lmao
Prehistoric Planet" must not be forgotten. I saw some inspiration from this documentary in this film.
The montage at the end is perhaps the most poigniant explanation i've ever seen of why we have such a fascination towards Dinosaurs and other extinct lifeforms... And not a single word was uttered.
Thank you David, thank you so much :')
Oh my gosh, I almost started crying.
This is a perfect tribute to the giant dinosaurs of the past, and a perfect love letter to their descendant birds of today.
3:00 This point, I feel that this moment should be talked about a bit more. Dead Sound has done an amazing job at potraying dinosaurs as actual animals and this is one example.
Everybody talks about how the T-Rex is just taking a drink at the lake without attacking at all, and that is very good. This shot though, also naturalizes the T-Rex.
We've been conditioned by Hollywood to see the T-Rex as something larger than life, something to be in awe and fear of, so when we see a T-Rex, we are expecting something big. A T-Rex with its mouth wide open means its going to roar, not this one.
This T-Rex is just yawning. Something we, and most other animals, do often. This T-Rex isn't a powerful monster to display, this is a sleepy animal. Just as it would have been like millions of years ago.
And so it has come: the death of a dynasty. Gone, but not forgotten.
Thank you for creating this beautiful series. Here's to all your future endeavors.
Never in my life have I desperately wanted to give a Tyrannosaurus rex of all things the Biggest hug 😭
I’m sorry this is how it happened
You got no right to make me hold back tears over a dinosaur
This is one of the best series that depicting dinosaurs as animals,
not cold blooded monsters.
Not to mention Prehistoric Planet is great and really cool,
but it's still amazing that one man managed to create a masterpiece.
Thank you David.
I'll be waiting for future projects.
Сколько не смотрю, а все время хочется рыдать. Поразительно, как отличаются образы динозавров здесь от классического представления о жестоких тупых ящерицах. Автор создал настоящий шедевр, который очень выигрышно смотрится на фоне недавнего "Мира Юрского периода".

Эм.._.
It was truly amazing seeing this phenomenal series from beginning to end. David truly pulled out all the stops in order to stay faithful to these creatures and deliver to us what is undoubtedly the best pieces of paleo-media EVER conceived. From the herd of pachyrhinosaurs, to the mosasaurs of the ocean, to the giant sauropods. This final short ends with themes of tragedy and legacy. About how sad it is that these creatures' fates were decided and how we only have few pieces of their pasts. We will never get to see how they behaved or how they lived. All we can do is imagine and theorize as best as we can. Sometimes, it almost makes it unbelievable to believe these animals have existed, that birds are actually descendants from these massive dinosaurs? We can only imagine the world the dinosaurs roamed, just like David James Armsby here did.🦕🦖
Not me literally CRYING THE WHOLE TIME-
Oh my gosh this WAS BEAUTIFUL*WOW*
This brings back such a deep sadness about what we’ll never know. How they truly looked, what they did. *How* they did.
Dinosaurs actually had feathers!!
We will also never know how they sounded
We can guess but will never 100% confirm with how dinosaur life was or how they look, life spans, or anything until someone invents a time machine for now all we can do is learn from our modern day mammals,avians and reptiles
@@wenthulk8439 we know somewhat, example - hadrosaurs and their specific chambers in skulls resulted in them producing a somewhat trumpet type of sound, look up the corythosaurus study
of course the sound you hear would be softer irl considering the all tissue, but you get a base of their sounds. science is amazing
The tragic loss of such amazing creatures, the opportunity it gave us to evolve and the fact that their descendants are still around us.
This captures it all. Just tremendously moving.
This entire animation is forever gonna be my favorite example of visual storytelling. Again, I have to praise the use of color higher than anything. The blue of the water and the edge of the sky initially show peace, both of which turn shades of red after the meteor. The ring of black in the sky shows doom, which bends down towards the Tyrannosaurus, signifying the role of the predator, even in places of peace. The shot at 6:38 is gonna stick in my mind for so long, holy shit, I'm in love with the gaping mouth of this dead creature and the horrified cry that will never be heard. The focus on the little bird at the beginning that comes around with the raven after that very well-done time skip is probably my favorite part.
And the ending legitimately made me cry. You're right, the legacy of these creatures isn't dead. They still inspire us so long after they're gone, hell, they inspired you to make this gorgeous series. I love how you added shots of their living remains, the swans and the ducks, it reckons back to your "Making of" series for Dinosauria. This all goes to show, the magic of life never dies with us. It simply reshapes itself.
they may be gone, but they are never forgotten
As a character in my favorite MMORPG said:
"Remember us. Remember that we once lived."
I was literally near-tears at the end. Brilliant piece of work. I hope one day you'll either do a Pleistocene or Cenozoic version, or take up dinosaurs again.
It made me cry 😢 to think these were once living breathing creatures. Can't even imagine how truly terrifying those last days were for them. To see this feels as real as it might have been.💔
Makes me worry about what the future for us humans will be.
Man! What a dramatic conclusion to an absolutely gorgeous series! I absolutely sobbed at the ending. The music swelling up showing clips from all the other episodes to the reveal of the museum display being all that’s left of their world in our modern time. It was such a heartening wrap up to everything and really really well done. I wasn’t prepared for the feels, but man was it worth it! Excellent job!
never in my life have i cried so much because of dinosaurs, this is art
