I'm not sure if you could consider it lost media or more just an unreleased deleted scene, but I remember watching rerun of Walking With Dinosaurs on the BBC (UK) sometime around 2002-2004 in it there was a scene where in episode 1 right before we cut to the swollen river full of Coelophysis, we see one in the desert trot into shot and look down at the ground. Now in the released version we have the Coelophysis looks at the ground and then it cuts to the pack of them at the river, whereas in the version I saw it looked at the ground saw an ant and proceeded to (at least as I remember it) get a drink from the ant which secreted something. Now it might have played out differently with the ant defending itself by secreting a fowl tasting toxin to deter the dinosaur but the former is how I remember it. Also for episode 2. In modern releases theres a line of dialogue thats been removed when the two Allosaurus come upon the baby sauropods in the canyon, I know its on the VHS release from 1999 but not the modern dvd. "All large predators hunt on two legs and these twelve meter giants are no exception" heres a time-stamped link to where the dialogue would have been ruclips.net/video/C0r5P-PzIPU/видео.html and then later in the same sequence at this point (time-stamped link) ruclips.net/video/C0r5P-PzIPU/видео.html in between the saurapodlet line and the lion of the jurassic line there was line to this effect "with its powerful legs, clawed hands and short teeth".

i've heard it claimed multiple times that russ meyer and ray Harryhausen were briefly working on a film together in the 60s, with Meyer directing in his usual fashion and Harryhausen providing dinosaur special fx. never seen any hard evidence though no concept art or anything, supposedly it never got past pre-production.
If you're counting cut scenes like the ones in 65 as lost media, then that means the extended version of the Jurassic Park 3 Rex vs Spino fight counts as lost media
It’s very interesting about prehistoric planet, as I definitely remember watching the Sabre tooth one as a kid when DK was still out, but looking back it’s kinda astonishing how there almost no trace of it.
I grew up with a different version of Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, it had a female narrator and a few censored scenes. Mostly scenes of animals mating, mainly the Australopithecus one, and a few other minor differences. I had it recorded on a VHS so I didn't see the real version for years. I also watched a few episodes Bonehead's on VHS from the library. I can still remember full lines and scenes cause I was a Dinosaur nerd and watched them a lot.
Yeah i remember that version too, i always found it so weird there was multiple versions of the same series at time. Although for me I grew up with the original version on VHS
I have that same version recorded in almost its entirety from the original broadcast (first couple minutes of the first portion got corrupted) The narrator was Stockard Channing, who was best kniwn for playing Betty Rizzo in Grease.
I know it doesn’t really count much here since it’s not WWD-related or a documentary or kaiju or a lost world film or anything, but there are a bunch of scenes from “The Land Before Time” that were deleted or edited up mainly because they were deemed too frightening or upsetting for young children. The original uncut version of the film had an approximately 80 minute runtime, but eleven minutes of footage were taken out. Scenes were deleted from different points throughout the film’s production, with the latest ones being cut just a few weeks before the film’s theatrical release in November 1988, and it’s obvious from listening to the soundtrack that there are parts of the music that don’t match up with the animation anymore. Most of the currently available evidence points toward the missing footage being lost forever as far as the public knows due to them not being saved, but those scenes and knowledge about their content do actually survive mostly in the form of storybooks and their illustrations, the novelisation, press kit material, storyboard art, individual animation cels, a May 1987 draft of the script, a few seconds in the theatrical trailer and an old Pizza Hut toy commercial promoting the film, and interviews with the film’s creators (Don Bluth, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg). The most well-known of the cut and/or edited scenes are the fight between Littlefoot’s mother and Sharptooth as well as scenes of the main characters in danger.
Also can we all just take the time to appreciate the quality over quantity we get here on this channel. I swear you're gonna learn something new or go on a nostalgia trip, sometimes both
One example of lost dinosaur media that I can think of from my childhood is "Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Dinosaurs", which was a documentary done by Gary Owens and Eric Boardman. It was one of a series of documentaries the pair did but none of them exist in any sizeable form that I could find, either a physical copy of or on RUclips or any other video service. It's weird that a series that seemed to be in nearly every library I knew of as a child just... disappeared into the aether.
Uh hey so I was curious if I could spot anything and it looks like the website Schooltube .com has a vid on it. That may be worth looking at and seeing if it's right.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP PREPLAN SEASON 2! I’d love to watch it again someday, I remember watching it on TV. There is this weird memory I have a big car of some kind (Cave Lion?) killing a Neanderthal in his tent from the season 2, and it showed the aftermath of the attack. This could just be a fake memory my brain created tho lol
Honestly said your channel deserves a lot more attantion with the effort you do that often gets unnoticed I believe it ain't easy at all to find all that info you gather so as much as it counts I wanna thank you
Surprisingly you only scratched the surface of the Lost Walking with Games, there was a game for Sea Monsters and Walking with Cavemen, with Sea monsters I remember playing a bit more (it had a bunch of different minigames based on scenes from the episodes, like the Chemical mixing to make sure you don’t get chomped by Lioloplordon and I think you had to escape a mosasaur in a raft. and Beasts surprisingly had some sort of fighting game where you’d make hybrid animals, another was having you play as a leptictidum in a museum and rescue the other animals trapped inside. There’s also Dinosaur world, a full 3D walking with dinosaurs experience which was pretty cool for the time. There was also a game based on the Truth about Killer Dinosaurs focusing on Baryonx which sort of acted as a lost episode. Sadly Walking with Monsters got nothing, heck it’s the only main walking with show not to get official renders of every animal, unlike Chased by Sea monsters and Dinosaurs which did.
More of a cancelled project than lost media, but I recently found out that in the 1980s Jim Henson (creator of The Muppets) was planning to produce a fantasy film focussed on dinosaurs. It was never given an official name but I've seen it called "The Natural History Project" or "The Dinosaur Project". The movie was planned to use puppets to portray the dinosaurs similar to Henson's other feature films (Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal). Unfortunately, the project was cancelled and all that's left from its production is a few pieces of concept art and some snippets of information given by the head artist and screenplay writer William Stout. Information is a bit scarce for this project, but it could be interesting to look into further.
65 is still going to feature "prehistoric beasts" (read: dinosaurs) so there's a decently high chance that the scenes featuring our ankylosaur and triceratops friends will see the light of day :]
I have a distinct memory of seeing the “Walking with beasts” on DVD in the basement of a neighboring kid’s basement one day while we were hanging out. I was already a big fan of prehistoric planet and had season 1 on DVD and VHS, so when I saw this I was immediately fascinated that there was another season. Unfortunately, we never watched it, but that cover art is definitely what it was.
I remember watching Prehistoric Planet a lot as a kid. It was my introduction to the Walking With Trilogy and it’s spin offs. If only season 2 was released on DVD. ‘Cause that was my favorite season.
More than a year after the premiere of 65, the scenes of the triceratops and ankylosaurus have not been revealed. I had heard about it but I thought they were discarded ideas but now I know they were filmed, I hope one day they reveal them, I don't know how they considered it. "Uninteresting" precisely the film lacked variety of species
I remember as a kid seeing some old documentary on the Discovery Channel (1999 - 2002) about the permian extinction which used puppets, which introduced me to that topic. Then, i remember years later seeing some expert talking on some other documentary, with some props used for said documentary on the background, particularly some green Lystrosaurus.
This has been brought up to me before. If I have this correct, the only existing thing about this documentary is a single image of a lystrosaurus or lystrosaurus-like animal.
That’s funny. I grew up with the Prehistoric Planet version of WAD on dvd. So when I had first watched the original series, it was pretty interesting to see the parts of the doc that were edited out.
Can I suggest you to look into “Il pianeta dei dinosauri”? It was a 1994ish Italian series by Piero Angela produced by the channel Rai Uno. I know it got translated in various countries and had some VHS and DVD releases, but it took me years to find the ripped videos to replace my VHS recordings of the time it went on air. All the dinosaur actions were made by animatronic or puppeteers on green screen.
The Ray Harryhausen type dinosaur movies gave me almost traumatic nightmares as a kid, I can still remember them eating all my family and pets. Jurassic park, no problem. Stop Motion... Turmoil.
Love your channel and it's wide variety of dinosaur-based subject matter especially since I'm a massive fan of giant monster relater media. Speaking of which, do you take film / DVD donations?
I got two pieces of Lost and obscure paleo media pieces. First is the Lost, it was this old mattel toys to life browser based game called Xtractuars. In the came you would combine various pieces of Dino dna you'd get for a toy and from unlocking them ingame. You'd make your dinosaurs to fight the evil megazords or whatever there name was. Currently the only part of gameplay we can see is from the trailer and a few sparse videos. The toys can still be purchased as well as it's starter kit but as amazon reviews have said the game is unable to be accessed even with the disk. I remember a few parts of the game from when I was young, The Combat, the special attacks, one the minigames being a bejeweled style game, and pseudo metroidvania that requires a Tyrannosauroid. The second piece of Media is this small comic series called Ernor, earlier this year I got myself the complete series. And I have been meaning to scan it and put it out online. There is also a 3 episode show of it on youtube as a bit of a sequel or something like that. I also have that saved in a youtube playlist.
Didn't Chased by Dinosaurs have a scene removed from it's premiere where Nigel literally rips a hole in the end scene, leaving the Giant Claw episode and moving on to the Land of Giants episode? I vaguely remember seeing that on TV once.
My first RUclips videos were reuploaded paleo media, mostly the Walking With series. I remember that there is a very important video which means a lot. The video shows a nest, where small reptiles are being born; then, a spider appears behind the nest and with a creepy music bacground, the narrator says: "The Arthropods are back!" Then, the spider starts impaling the newborn reptiles one after the other, with only few surviving. This part was cut from the successive uploads of the episode but think: the spider, the scene, the music, is all wrong but back in the days they considered the scene perfectly normal as Megarachne was still called "spider" and people were still considering the brutal scene not impactful for children. One last thing. Do you also find the sentence: "Be happy that he's extinct." bad?
My main experience with lost paleo media is the Planet Dinosaur browser game. This is the one that replaced the Big Al game on the BBC website, and other than its mention in your video on said Big Al game and one gameplay video, I can't really seem to find much else on the game and what happened to it. I remember randomly stumbling upon it once back in the day, but never found it again, heck for the longest time I couldn't even find proof it existed in the first place.
I have vague memories of the Prehistoric Planet's version of New Dawn and I'm sure I've seen some other episodes, but like I said I can't remember exact details. Never watched it religiously like the original Walking with Dinosaurs and Beasts.
I haven't watched it, so i have no idea if they do make an appearance, but the 3 legged Ankylosaurus would have been precious. Protect him or her at all costs
Wow this video reminds me of how I recently re watched dinosaur revolution and found out that it had a bunch of deleted scenes would be cool if someone like you made a video on it
Both seasons of Prehistoric Planet were once released in Poland as DVDs included with a newspaper, they contained 2 episodes each (I think that "First Came the Apes" episode wasn't included) All these episodes are available online, unfortunately with Polish dubbing only. If someone has all the DVDs maybe the original English dub version could be ripped from these?
Kind of similar to Gogola there’s a 1957 Filipino re-edit of Godzilla 1954 with new scenes with Filipino actors, in a similar vein to the 1956 Godzilla King of the Monsters, it was called Tokyo 1960 and is considered lost media. From what I remember it’s because the film stock wasn’t kept in the correct conditions for it to survive the humid climate of the Philippines
Oddly enough I own the Croatian DVD release of the Prehistoric planet (here narrated by the popular soap opera actor Marinko Leš whose surname literally means corpse lmao) and it has both the dinosaur and prehistoric beasts episodes as well as the bonus top 10 episode. So I'm quite surprised that it's considered lost.
Whoa, thats really cool! I guess the Prehistoric Planet home releases were only limited to certain countries, which is really odd. But its cool to hear that its not completely lost.
@@DinoDiego16 That show was my introduction to paleo docs. Without it and a ton of dinosaur encyclopedia I read as a kid I would have never gotten into paleontology. I'm glad to hear someone else talk about it.
Hearing about that Sam Rami film reminded me of this Indiegogo crowdfunded short film called Dino Hunt by DinoHuntFilms. It was funded, filmed, & the crew uploaded updates on their RUclips, Vimeo, Indiegogo, Instagram, & other social media accounts, up until 2013. It seems like everyone disappeared & their website went down, it also seems the backers never got their rewards they were promised for backing the film.
Damn, that sucks for the backers. Always sad to hear when a project like this never comes to fruition and people lose out on money. But it sounds interesting nonetheless. I'll look into it!
You do use the term "lost" a bit loosely here, usually we don't refer to parts of films that are cut out as lost, they just didn't make the "cut". Herbert M. Dawley the producer of The Ghost From Slumber Mountain stated that the longer version was never shown theatrically, even the original week-long run in 1918 was the cut down version, so that is just how the film is, was presented, and released. It is still a whole story, and probably as much story as the longer version, just less animation. Also, The Ghost of Slumber Mountain has had the same scenes, and footage length since 1918, there has been no lost scenes found and added to it. The film looks better than it has do to a good transfer, the title cards were redone, with one spelling error that was not in the original. Some shots were probably taken from other sources, such as the 1923 film Evolution, but as far as I know, there is still only one 9.5mm older print that exists, and all copies come from that one. I think that cause they all have the same defects in them. Also, who wrote and directed the film is unknown, it could have been O'B, or Dawley, or a combination of both. And, actually O'B had done the stop motion on a film before this The Puzzling Billboard which was a live action film, and he animated a goat, so Ghost was not the first to have stop motion characters in a live action film. In both cases, the live actors never appeared onscreen in the same shot as the animated characters. Link to the puzzling billboard ruclips.net/video/ci_buYzeAvQ/видео.html Anyway, some interesting videos on your page, thanks for posting.
Yo, I do remember Prehistoric Planet, for ages I thought it was a blurry memory, or a kids imagination, but I do remeber seeing it in Animal Planet Latam I believe, but I think there was another difference between the source Material and the Prehistoric Planet, or the Latino Version at least, was that you would have an actual Paleontologist that would apear in little breaks, I am not sure if they were part of the short or something that Discovery Latam did in add breaks
There are so many discovery kids channel had a lot of seasons that were cut from their original run time anyone going to build a time machine to go bring those lots media back to us all
I swear there was this documentary that existed, but can't find any evidence of anywhere. It was a documentary in which actors playing cavemen would take on Biomechanical models of Ice Age animals (I specifically remember a Mammoth animatronic) and the actors would be thrown around by them to show just how harsh life was back then. I thought for years maybe I just dreamed it up, but recently it came up in a conversation and my mam also remembered it. Does anyone else remember it?
damn this got me all stoked thinkin I had something rare, I still have my ancient ass copy of prehistoric planet season 1 haha. I didnt even know they did a season 2!
I remember watching prehistoric planet back then and it was all right. It’s weird that they did not have the walking with beasts version which I don’t know why they didn’t release it on DVD
"a version of walking with dinosaurs that could cater to a younger demographic" i first watched it when i was 7 lol, were they hoping to aim it at toddlers
Idk if I being stupid but I’m pretty sure they have released season 2 walking with beast in the Uk on DVD. I’m not sure if this is the same as the one you are talking about.
Maybe 65 as 65 million years ago - the end of Cretaceous Period and Mesosoic Age overall? Maybe we will see like reversed Planet of the Ape situation where Adam Driver actually landed on Prehistoric Earth instead of Alien Planet?
I vividly remember the top 10 list episode of prehistoric planet. Granted it's a bit fuzzy but I remember it. I thought the whole show was just a weird dream tbh
“Dinosaur Planet”, a video game for N64 developed by Rare (known for Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie) was scrapped and re-skinned into Star Fox Adventures on the GameCube at the request of Nintendo. The original version has never resurfaced. Although Krystal, one of the main characters of Dinosaur Planet made it into Star Fox Adventures and has been a Star Fox character ever since.
Remember the episode where Barney the Dinosaur chased the children around the back yard and then fought and ate Baby Bop, the green triceratops? That was wild!
Not lost paleo media but if you’re interested in canceled dinosaur games I remember jurassic park 3 survivor or survival was gonna be on the ps2 at least before being canceled also a sound of thunder game was planned for the xbox that acted like a very alternative to the 2005 film of the same name.Hope thats helpful. Also I remember when they reaired walking with dinosaurs in 2001, they had actors from jurassic park 3 host episodes as part of a jurassic discovery special and even talked in commercial breaks about the dinosaurs in the movie. I think they did a similar thing for walking with beasts and ice age actors but don’t remember that one too much. Well hope that’s helps,good job on videos and sorry for long post.
I actually have a copy of a few prehistoric planet episodes that my relative burned onto some CDs, IIRC I have whale killer and land of giants, I also think I watched new dawn but I cannot be positive about that one. If they still work maybe I have some lost paleo media just sitting somewhere 😳
Prehistoric planet season 2 reruns aired till at least the discovery kids was rebranded to the hub by hasbro, in 2010. So it aired for about 8 years. Kill me because that's how i original saw walking with beasts as a kid.
Does anyone remember an old discovery science show where the main character was a cartoon globe? I cant remember what it was called, but it was about animals and biomes and stuff.
does anyone else remember some show that used footage from walking with dinosaurs that was a kids show? i think it was a shortened retelling of the episodes and was presented by some blonde girl in her 20s? no idea what channel or name but curious to know if it can be found again.
That’s just the unfortunate thing with Paleo pop culture, Normes want the big teeth and claws, Hell even then it has to be T-Rex or velociraptor otherwise it goes directly in the bin. Granted there are some media that try to shake it up, and they’re all from Japan (to no one’s surprise) the most obvious of course would be monster hunter but there are others. There’s fossil fighters which is just Pokémon but dinosaurs (but instead of breeding you dig them up from the ground and revive them) There’s monster hunter stories which is the like Pokémon but they do change up enough to be it’s own thing. There’s also a mobile game called fate grand order, they’ve adapted two historical figures that have connections with dinosaurs in paleontology that being kijyo koyo and Mary Anning (The former is a little more loose than the other though but it’s something) Which you’ll have to look up yourself because if i were to try to explain it to you, i would need to go through a novels worth of information just to set the groundwork of how they work in the setting and the last thing we need is a wall of text about something that has nothing to do with the subject at hand
Another piece of Japanese media with a wide selection of Paleo beasts is Dinosaur King, I think out of the whole series they got one made up animal which had the genetic base of a trex.
@@rockclanhawkstar1454 Hmmm, i swear i thought i put it in there, i guess i forgot to put it in while typing everything down. Well regardless i appreciate you filling it in, if there’s any others you can think of feel free to put it down here
@@ghostshrimp5006 not a problem shrimp, we all make mistakes like that XD I actually just remembered another one. It's a film/show named you are Umasou, it's about a trex being raised by maiasaurs.
Funny story, I actually remember owning a Prehistoric Planet DVD in Polish... Which is weird, because I also owned all the Walking With episodes in Polish. I bought the Prehistoric Planet one hoping for more content, or a different documentary... I felt a little ripped off.
I mean, that clip that I talked about is still cut from the film. But, I suppose if it gets released with the home media versions of it, then it might not be lost. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
wtf i never knew prehistoric planet season 2 was lost i remember watching it at my cousin's house, i think he had it recorded on dvr or something sadly i doubt any of that remains as it was well over a decade and a half ago now
I’d say keep the scenes and add a trex. I want the trex but what is wrong with a triceratops and a ankylosaurus? Why not have both? I understand if they cut it if those dinosaurs were supposed to be the antagonists. Wouldn’t make Sense
It’s a stupid decision to cut out herbivores and have the carnivores as the main villains because “cool”, when it’s an overused dinosaur cliche where every carnivore is more bloodthirsty than the herbivores are mostly passive creatures, when in reality, their roles are more reversed. If there’s a dinosaur movie where herbivores are portrayed to be more dangerous than the carnivores, please let it happen, or we will be very disappointed!
About 65, I understand what you mean about jumping the gun on the lost status of something so recent due to worries that it may not be so easy to find. Not dino related, but I have a similar experience with Turning Red, as there's a fully complete deleted scene about the protagonist, Mei, and her friends protesting in the school halls that wasn't on the home media release for some reason; the only evidence of it's existence is small clips from trailers and behind-the-scenes material as well as the scene being included in some tie-in books.
Comment down below any more examples of lost paleo media that you want me to cover!

Sure. And since that extended cut of the fight scene can be found online now, it can qualify as found lost media as well.

The movie was planned to use puppets to portray the dinosaurs similar to Henson's other feature films (Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal). Unfortunately, the project was cancelled and all that's left from its production is a few pieces of concept art and some snippets of information given by the head artist and screenplay writer William Stout.
Information is a bit scarce for this project, but it could be interesting to look into further.
I've heard of this before and I'm definitely interested. Thanks for the suggestion!
65 is still going to feature "prehistoric beasts" (read: dinosaurs) so there's a decently high chance that the scenes featuring our ankylosaur and triceratops friends will see the light of day :]
I have a distinct memory of seeing the “Walking with beasts” on DVD in the basement of a neighboring kid’s basement one day while we were hanging out. I was already a big fan of prehistoric planet and had season 1 on DVD and VHS, so when I saw this I was immediately fascinated that there was another season. Unfortunately, we never watched it, but that cover art is definitely what it was.
65 reminds me of Carnivores just because of it's premise with dinosaurs on an alien planet
Yeah that Lost World (claymation) scared the crap out of me as a 6 year old child
I remember watching Prehistoric Planet a lot as a kid.
It was my introduction to the Walking With Trilogy and it’s spin offs.
If only season 2 was released on DVD.
‘Cause that was my favorite season.
More than a year after the premiere of 65, the scenes of the triceratops and ankylosaurus have not been revealed. I had heard about it but I thought they were discarded ideas but now I know they were filmed, I hope one day they reveal them, I don't know how they considered it. "Uninteresting" precisely the film lacked variety of species
I remember as a kid seeing some old documentary on the Discovery Channel (1999 - 2002) about the permian extinction which used puppets, which introduced me to that topic. Then, i remember years later seeing some expert talking on some other documentary, with some props used for said documentary on the background, particularly some green Lystrosaurus.
This has been brought up to me before. If I have this correct, the only existing thing about this documentary is a single image of a lystrosaurus or lystrosaurus-like animal.
@@DinoDiego16 May I please know where to find that image, or the name of the documentary?
This channel’s always something I enjoy. Keep it up!
Just Got the Home Release of 65, and neither the Triceratops, or 3 legged Ankylosaurus were featured in the deleted scenes.
Please do a video on When Dinosaurs Roamed America! It’s totally inaccurate and outdated but the sound design is a lot of fun
The Dilophosaurus from that show has some of the coolest, yet blatantly impossible roars ever created, due to that very mrtallic reverb it has.
really? not cool enough? they wanna say that a freaking living tank that has lost it's limb (probably in battle) and survived ISN'T COOL ENOUGH?
I guess you could say the Ankylo just had to walk it off.
Oh wait.
Imagine trying to carry all that weight the Ankylo character has to deal with it! That is one strong boy!
I really love this channel and these videos are so entraining and I adore them alot
Also I wish y'all are having a great summer
That’s funny. I grew up with the Prehistoric Planet version of WAD on dvd. So when I had first watched the original series, it was pretty interesting to see the parts of the doc that were edited out.
Can I suggest you to look into “Il pianeta dei dinosauri”? It was a 1994ish Italian series by Piero Angela produced by the channel Rai Uno. I know it got translated in various countries and had some VHS and DVD releases, but it took me years to find the ripped videos to replace my VHS recordings of the time it went on air.
All the dinosaur actions were made by animatronic or puppeteers on green screen.
The Ray Harryhausen type dinosaur movies gave me almost traumatic nightmares as a kid, I can still remember them eating all my family and pets. Jurassic park, no problem. Stop Motion... Turmoil.
1:12 And we might be getting a spiritual sequel/successor with Tim Haines working on a new dino/paleo project.
So that 65 movie is actually happening. A new trailer has come out a little while ago.
Love your channel and it's wide variety of dinosaur-based subject matter especially since I'm a massive fan of giant monster relater media. Speaking of which, do you take film / DVD donations?
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Prehistoric Planet sounds like a cheap way of watering down a good documentary, glad Prehistoric Planet didn’t do that
I got two pieces of Lost and obscure paleo media pieces.
First is the Lost, it was this old mattel toys to life browser based game called Xtractuars. In the came you would combine various pieces of Dino dna you'd get for a toy and from unlocking them ingame. You'd make your dinosaurs to fight the evil megazords or whatever there name was. Currently the only part of gameplay we can see is from the trailer and a few sparse videos. The toys can still be purchased as well as it's starter kit but as amazon reviews have said the game is unable to be accessed even with the disk.
I remember a few parts of the game from when I was young, The Combat, the special attacks, one the minigames being a bejeweled style game, and pseudo metroidvania that requires a Tyrannosauroid.
The second piece of Media is this small comic series called Ernor, earlier this year I got myself the complete series. And I have been meaning to scan it and put it out online. There is also a 3 episode show of it on youtube as a bit of a sequel or something like that. I also have that saved in a youtube playlist.
Didn't Chased by Dinosaurs have a scene removed from it's premiere where Nigel literally rips a hole in the end scene, leaving the Giant Claw episode and moving on to the Land of Giants episode? I vaguely remember seeing that on TV once.
Mandela Effect
@@wesleyhunt7599 I honestly hope that isn't the case.
My first RUclips videos were reuploaded paleo media, mostly the Walking With series.
I remember that there is a very important video which means a lot.
The video shows a nest, where small reptiles are being born; then, a spider appears behind the nest and with a creepy music bacground, the narrator says: "The Arthropods are back!" Then, the spider starts impaling the newborn reptiles one after the other, with only few surviving.
This part was cut from the successive uploads of the episode but think: the spider, the scene, the music, is all wrong but back in the days they considered the scene perfectly normal as Megarachne was still called "spider" and people were still considering the brutal scene not impactful for children.
One last thing. Do you also find the sentence: "Be happy that he's extinct." bad?
7:00 Wait - I think I got the entire thing as a DVD set for my 7th birthday! I'm sure I can find it somewhere...
Thanks for talking about Prehistoric planet season 2
My pleasure!
My main experience with lost paleo media is the Planet Dinosaur browser game. This is the one that replaced the Big Al game on the BBC website, and other than its mention in your video on said Big Al game and one gameplay video, I can't really seem to find much else on the game and what happened to it. I remember randomly stumbling upon it once back in the day, but never found it again, heck for the longest time I couldn't even find proof it existed in the first place.
6:55 omg i used to have VHS tapes of that show i remember loving it as a child
I have vague memories of the Prehistoric Planet's version of New Dawn and I'm sure I've seen some other episodes, but like I said I can't remember exact details. Never watched it religiously like the original Walking with Dinosaurs and Beasts.
I haven't watched it, so i have no idea if they do make an appearance, but the 3 legged Ankylosaurus would have been precious. Protect him or her at all costs
Wow this video reminds me of how I recently re watched dinosaur revolution and found out that it had a bunch of deleted scenes would be cool if someone like you made a video on it
Both seasons of Prehistoric Planet were once released in Poland as DVDs included with a newspaper, they contained 2 episodes each (I think that "First Came the Apes" episode wasn't included)
All these episodes are available online, unfortunately with Polish dubbing only.
If someone has all the DVDs maybe the original English dub version could be ripped from these?
Kind of similar to Gogola there’s a 1957 Filipino re-edit of Godzilla 1954 with new scenes with Filipino actors, in a similar vein to the 1956 Godzilla King of the Monsters, it was called Tokyo 1960 and is considered lost media. From what I remember it’s because the film stock wasn’t kept in the correct conditions for it to survive the humid climate of the Philippines
Just briefly looked it up. Sounds very interesting! Definitely have to look more into it
Oddly enough I own the Croatian DVD release of the Prehistoric planet (here narrated by the popular soap opera actor Marinko Leš whose surname literally means corpse lmao) and it has both the dinosaur and prehistoric beasts episodes as well as the bonus top 10 episode. So I'm quite surprised that it's considered lost.
Whoa, thats really cool! I guess the Prehistoric Planet home releases were only limited to certain countries, which is really odd. But its cool to hear that its not completely lost.
@@DinoDiego16 That show was my introduction to paleo docs. Without it and a ton of dinosaur encyclopedia I read as a kid I would have never gotten into paleontology.
I'm glad to hear someone else talk about it.
Don't forget about Dino Sapiens, a obscure dinosaur manga by Miito Yasui and Yoshi Mori!
Obscurity doesn't mean it's lost
Hearing about that Sam Rami film reminded me of this Indiegogo crowdfunded short film called Dino Hunt by DinoHuntFilms. It was funded, filmed, & the crew uploaded updates on their RUclips, Vimeo, Indiegogo, Instagram, & other social media accounts, up until 2013. It seems like everyone disappeared & their website went down, it also seems the backers never got their rewards they were promised for backing the film.
Damn, that sucks for the backers. Always sad to hear when a project like this never comes to fruition and people lose out on money. But it sounds interesting nonetheless. I'll look into it!
You do use the term "lost" a bit loosely here, usually we don't refer to parts of films that are cut out as lost, they just didn't make the "cut". Herbert M. Dawley the producer of The Ghost From Slumber Mountain stated that the longer version was never shown theatrically, even the original week-long run in 1918 was the cut down version, so that is just how the film is, was presented, and released. It is still a whole story, and probably as much story as the longer version, just less animation. Also, The Ghost of Slumber Mountain has had the same scenes, and footage length since 1918, there has been no lost scenes found and added to it. The film looks better than it has do to a good transfer, the title cards were redone, with one spelling error that was not in the original. Some shots were probably taken from other sources, such as the 1923 film Evolution, but as far as I know, there is still only one 9.5mm older print that exists, and all copies come from that one. I think that cause they all have the same defects in them. Also, who wrote and directed the film is unknown, it could have been O'B, or Dawley, or a combination of both. And, actually O'B had done the stop motion on a film before this The Puzzling Billboard which was a live action film, and he animated a goat, so Ghost was not the first to have stop motion characters in a live action film. In both cases, the live actors never appeared onscreen in the same shot as the animated characters. Link to the puzzling billboard ruclips.net/video/ci_buYzeAvQ/видео.html Anyway, some interesting videos on your page, thanks for posting.
Yo, I do remember Prehistoric Planet, for ages I thought it was a blurry memory, or a kids imagination, but I do remeber seeing it in Animal Planet Latam I believe, but I think there was another difference between the source Material and the Prehistoric Planet, or the Latino Version at least, was that you would have an actual Paleontologist that would apear in little breaks, I am not sure if they were part of the short or something that Discovery Latam did in add breaks
I think I got Prehistoric planet on DVD for Christmas in July.
There are so many discovery kids channel had a lot of seasons that were cut from their original run time anyone going to build a time machine to go bring those lots media back to us all
It could be possible in my opinion.
I swear there was this documentary that existed, but can't find any evidence of anywhere. It was a documentary in which actors playing cavemen would take on Biomechanical models of Ice Age animals (I specifically remember a Mammoth animatronic) and the actors would be thrown around by them to show just how harsh life was back then. I thought for years maybe I just dreamed it up, but recently it came up in a conversation and my mam also remembered it. Does anyone else remember it?
La 10000 BC there are some clips of it on RUclips
I saw another lost Paleomedia like prehistoric 2009-2010 and Attack of the Sabertooth from crocoshark of a VHS part 1 only
Bonehead Detectives was my jam.
Dinos and lost media...Just what I needed!
I think there was a special program made by Animal planet similar to Nigel Marven`s Chased by dinosaurs. I might be wrong
Hey, I saw season 2 and had it recorded on a VHS somewhere!
Season 2's fate lies in your hands!😂
i'll look
I should note that it is just EP 1
@@DinoDiego16 Hello, I may have found it. Just pinged on Discord :) Looking for someone with a VHS player as we speak!
damn this got me all stoked thinkin I had something rare, I still have my ancient ass copy of prehistoric planet season 1 haha. I didnt even know they did a season 2!
I remember watching prehistoric planet back then and it was all right. It’s weird that they did not have the walking with beasts version which I don’t know why they didn’t release it on DVD
"a version of walking with dinosaurs that could cater to a younger demographic" i first watched it when i was 7 lol, were they hoping to aim it at toddlers
Idk if I being stupid but I’m pretty sure they have released season 2 walking with beast in the Uk on DVD. I’m not sure if this is the same as the one you are talking about.
Maybe 65 as 65 million years ago - the end of Cretaceous Period and Mesosoic Age overall? Maybe we will see like reversed Planet of the Ape situation where Adam Driver actually landed on Prehistoric Earth instead of Alien Planet?
13:28
Well well....Sounds familiar...I swear I saw something like that earlier today not gonna lie...
I vividly remember the top 10 list episode of prehistoric planet. Granted it's a bit fuzzy but I remember it. I thought the whole show was just a weird dream tbh
“Dinosaur Planet”, a video game for N64 developed by Rare (known for Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie) was scrapped and re-skinned into Star Fox Adventures on the GameCube at the request of Nintendo. The original version has never resurfaced. Although Krystal, one of the main characters of Dinosaur Planet made it into Star Fox Adventures and has been a Star Fox character ever since.
I fucking hate Star Foz
Remember the episode where Barney the Dinosaur chased the children around the back yard and then fought and ate Baby Bop, the green triceratops? That was wild!
I have some of paleoworld on VHS still that I taped or bought.
Not lost paleo media but if you’re interested in canceled dinosaur games I remember jurassic park 3 survivor or survival was gonna be on the ps2 at least before being canceled also a sound of thunder game was planned for the xbox that acted like a very alternative to the 2005 film of the same name.Hope thats helpful. Also I remember when they reaired walking with dinosaurs in 2001, they had actors from jurassic park 3 host episodes as part of a jurassic discovery special and even talked in commercial breaks about the dinosaurs in the movie. I think they did a similar thing for walking with beasts and ice age actors but don’t remember that one too much. Well hope that’s helps,good job on videos and sorry for long post.
I actually have a copy of a few prehistoric planet episodes that my relative burned onto some CDs, IIRC I have whale killer and land of giants, I also think I watched new dawn but I cannot be positive about that one. If they still work maybe I have some lost paleo media just sitting somewhere 😳
*EVERY DINO IS THE COOLEST DINO.*
Prehistoric planet season 2 reruns aired till at least the discovery kids was rebranded to the hub by hasbro, in 2010. So it aired for about 8 years. Kill me because that's how i original saw walking with beasts as a kid.
Does anyone remember an old discovery science show where the main character was a cartoon globe? I cant remember what it was called, but it was about animals and biomes and stuff.
I had a VHS of one of the episodes- about the oceans- but can't remember its name. It's at my mom's house. The globe's name was Spin I think?
Really Wild Animals. Most if not all of it is on RUclips
I cracked a lot of jokes about Prehistoric Planet, the old one, and made people think I was talking I was talking about the new one.
Gogola looks kinda cute.
does anyone else remember some show that used footage from walking with dinosaurs that was a kids show? i think it was a shortened retelling of the episodes and was presented by some blonde girl in her 20s? no idea what channel or name but curious to know if it can be found again.
I always thought I made up that top ten in my head
That’s just the unfortunate thing with Paleo pop culture, Normes want the big teeth and claws, Hell even then it has to be T-Rex or velociraptor otherwise it goes directly in the bin.
Granted there are some media that try to shake it up, and they’re all from Japan (to no one’s surprise) the most obvious of course would be monster hunter but there are others.
There’s fossil fighters which is just Pokémon but dinosaurs (but instead of breeding you dig them up from the ground and revive them)
There’s monster hunter stories which is the like Pokémon but they do change up enough to be it’s own thing.
There’s also a mobile game called fate grand order, they’ve adapted two historical figures that have connections with dinosaurs in paleontology that being kijyo koyo and Mary Anning (The former is a little more loose than the other though but it’s something)
Which you’ll have to look up yourself because if i were to try to explain it to you, i would need to go through a novels worth of information just to set the groundwork of how they work in the setting and the last thing we need is a wall of text about something that has nothing to do with the subject at hand
Another piece of Japanese media with a wide selection of Paleo beasts is Dinosaur King, I think out of the whole series they got one made up animal which had the genetic base of a trex.
@@rockclanhawkstar1454 Hmmm, i swear i thought i put it in there, i guess i forgot to put it in while typing everything down.
Well regardless i appreciate you filling it in, if there’s any others you can think of feel free to put it down here
@@ghostshrimp5006 not a problem shrimp, we all make mistakes like that XD
I actually just remembered another one. It's a film/show named you are Umasou, it's about a trex being raised by maiasaurs.
Funny story, I actually remember owning a Prehistoric Planet DVD in Polish... Which is weird, because I also owned all the Walking With episodes in Polish.
I bought the Prehistoric Planet one hoping for more content, or a different documentary... I felt a little ripped off.
Funny pfp
I couldn't find your prehistoric planet review, is it got blocked?
I think Paleoworld was called Jurassica in my country
Bonehead Bob sounds like it could have been Bob Bakker's wrestling name
Damn! I would gladly check out Bollywood version of Godzilla.
How come walking with monsters doesn't have a lot of spin off content like beasts and dinosaurs?
Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe because it wasn’t as successful.
Budget cuts
Well 65 has now a official trailer so I guess its not lost Paleo media anymore :D
I mean, that clip that I talked about is still cut from the film. But, I suppose if it gets released with the home media versions of it, then it might not be lost. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
wtf i never knew prehistoric planet season 2 was lost
i remember watching it at my cousin's house, i think he had it recorded on dvr or something
sadly i doubt any of that remains as it was well over a decade and a half ago now
so smart
Holy fuck I forgot all about bonehead detectives
Those are clips from The Ultimate Guide: Tyrannosaurus rex?
I’d say keep the scenes and add a trex. I want the trex but what is wrong with a triceratops and a ankylosaurus? Why not have both? I understand if they cut it if those dinosaurs were supposed to be the antagonists. Wouldn’t make Sense
Iirc there was a fanmade ish JP4 trailer
It’s a stupid decision to cut out herbivores and have the carnivores as the main villains because “cool”, when it’s an overused dinosaur cliche where every carnivore is more bloodthirsty than the herbivores are mostly passive creatures, when in reality, their roles are more reversed. If there’s a dinosaur movie where herbivores are portrayed to be more dangerous than the carnivores, please let it happen, or we will be very disappointed!
You really like lost paleo media
Its a very fascinating subject😁
They cut the ankylosaur? I will not see that movie; I don't give a shirt about T-Rex.
About 65, I understand what you mean about jumping the gun on the lost status of something so recent due to worries that it may not be so easy to find. Not dino related, but I have a similar experience with Turning Red, as there's a fully complete deleted scene about the protagonist, Mei, and her friends protesting in the school halls that wasn't on the home media release for some reason; the only evidence of it's existence is small clips from trailers and behind-the-scenes material as well as the scene being included in some tie-in books.
Pog
MAKE GOGOLA GREAT AGAIN!
Lost media for the lost world. It's like a match made in heaven.
It really is! Looking for old paleo media is like digging for fossils in a digital age😂
Haha the H
