Am I the only one who genuinely likes Christian Slater's narration?
I liked it
I liked it as well.
I thought he did a good job
I like it.
I like it.
I liked the episode with Pod quite a lot when I was little, and I still have the DVDs (if I recall correctly, on that DVD there were two episodes - the one with Pod and the one with Das). Also, as a Romanian, it's actually one of the only depictions of the Hațeg fauna I've seen in a dinosaur documentary, so it was a pleasant surprise to see it.
I have those two on separate DVDs in Hungarian, and I watched them many times when I was little. Good times they were indeed.
Ahh, the nostalgia! I especially love the skin textures and how squishy sometimes the soft parts of the animals look, something CGI often forgets. As a kid, the carnivors eating made me hungry too, don't ask me why lol
Why
0:18 Holy shit it's the guy from Dinosaur Train
It's the paleontologist Scott Sampson also appeared in that Cartoon.
This series introduced me to Pyroraptor which is now coming to Jurasdic World Dominion and I can not wait for Pod's clone
Oh how childhood and nostalgia just flooded back to me as I was watching this video
dude same
So much nostalgia!
8:51 me and the boys running to the kitchen after mom said the pizza rolls are done
I loved this documentary when I was younger. The script writers created some surprisingly emotional stories, that significantly changed my perception of dinosaurs. This was a very nostalgic review.
I actually liked Slater's narration.
Compared to Ben Stiller's atrocious narration in "Prehistoric Planet", Slater sounded like he both had fun narrating this series, but took it seriously enough to not detract from the informative stuff.
As did I. Slater just has this tone of voice that always makes what he's saying rather interesting. I also like it for another more personal reason.
What "Pod's Travels" didn't tell us is that Pod only ruled Hateg Island for a short time before the REAL apex predator, Hatzegopteryx arrived and ate him.
Hatzegopyeryx can't eat a fully grown mainland pyroraptor. A miniature raptor would be a fair game
@cheese stealer
The Hatzegopteryx can just fly to catch it
the only dinosaur designs i don't like are the sauropods their bodies are too damn round
P.S. i agree on the narration too
They look like big chungus
Agree
"Little Das' Hunt" made me laugh with it having the Daspletosaur family spend the entire damn episode obsessed with Buck but even when he could barely walk they would never go in and finish the hunt, literally waiting for him to fall over and die like they were afraid he had rabies or it was a trap and he'd leap up and karate them to death.
Turns out when I was a kid I only watched one ep and thought that was the only thing in the disk. Why was I dumb
My only complaining is that tose sauropods were fat as sh** and _EXTRA THICC_
God I loved this show growing up. When I was in kindergarten, I got home from school at 12:30, right when nothing good was on Nick or CN, but certain tv blocks were. Nat-Geo, surprisingly enough was what one my eye. Beakman’s World, Croc Files, Lazy Town (I forget what channel that was)... and Dinosaur Planet.
Like any young boy, I was infatuated with dinosaurs- from the Dino bots, to Power Rangers Dino Thunder- but this. This is what truly awakened my love for paleontology, and in turn, the rest of the scientific realm. It wasn’t your ordinary dino-mentary. It had a character paired with teachings that were just unmatched back in ‘04. Everyday, I looked forward to coming home just to watch it. The bus just couldn’t get to the school fast enough. Little did I know how life changing that show would be.
The sense of awe I had watching it as I child, I still continue to search for today in everything I do. Endlessly curious, endlessly open
HoopsAndDinoMan: "(Pod) becomes the new dominant predator of the island"
Hatzegopteryx: HERESY!!!!!
I only have one Question to ask about this Documentary
Why are the sauropods so *THICC?*
Diplodocids are rather "slender", and we've used their bodyshape for every sauropod ever. Titanosaurs, however, are wider in their middle portion. I do think that Dinosaur Planet kinda took it to the extreme, though.
Dinosaur planet should have a season 2 but not in the Cretaceous but Jurassic
and Triassic
Absolutely loved this series. Little Das' Hunt was one of the creepiest things in my childhood. The idea of an unstoppable, inevitable force of mother nature slowly conspiring to engulf the dinosaurs, the dinosaurs themselves oblivious to its existence was really horrifying to me
Shame I missed a detail when I did my Dinosaur Connections essay. That the director of the series, Peter Lepeniotis, was an animator for Disney's Dinosaur as one of the animators of Yar, the late Ozzie Davis lemur.
Pods travels was by far my favourite, I was really impressed by the poetic story.
Pod's Travel and Alpha's Egg are my favorite episodes of Dinosaur Planet
cant wait for the ballad of big Al review.
I was obsessed with Pod as a child
I remember watching white tips journey on RUclips back when the video title was above the video and 144p was basically as high quality as you could get. HD resolutions weren't even a pick-able option.
I have watched this since I was a kid, same with Walking with dinosaurs and other documentaries.
I have noticed that there are errors that bugged me when I became older, but I originally didn't mind them when I was a kid, but now that my knowledge is a lot smarter, I see that there are grass in the time of the dinosaurs (someone said that already in the comments section though), as well as some inaccuracies in the episodes as well.
I noticed a lot of stock animal sounds are used for the dinosaurs, including Elephants, Lions, Tigers, Walruses, Camels, Bears, Cougars, Crocodiles, Geese, Parrots, Cows, Pigs, and some more animals as well, as far as I know, most of the sounds are obviously from mammals. Well, I kind of think using elephant trumpet sounds for theropods is kind of weird to me to be honest, at least they made them scarier by distorting and lowering them, as well as combining them with lowered big cat and walrus sounds, so kudos to them for making them sound more monstrous.
Tyler Nelson grass actually did exist during the time of the dinosaurs though it didn't evolve until very late in and only in India.
In the show, they said the Pyroclastic flow went all the way to the Western Interior Seaway, so I doubt Das’ family would have survived even if they ran in the opposite direction.
Plus their animals so they probably don't know that volcano's are dangerous.
i have to say, pod's travels is my favorite episode. it is just so bizare how documentaries made me care more for animals, that went extinct anyway, than for humans.
I wish they would make a documentary series nowadays. We know so much more now compared to back then, plus the CGI advances we have made would make for such a good documentary series.
Oh yes
Prehistoric Planet was good :)
I think the silly lines makes this show more human and fun.
To me, the two biggest highlights of this series are the storytelling and use of dinosaurs that aren't seen much in documentaries, like Einiosaurus, Prenocephale and Aucasaurus just to name a few. My personal favorite episode is "White Tip's Journey" because of the portrayal the Velociraptors with pack structures and feathers. Granted the raptors in "Jurassic Park" are still awesome as they are, but it's nice seeing feathered raptors here.
My favorite dinosaur from this series is protoceratops. I loved the design , coloration and sound effects. It was also shown to be a tough little dinosaur.
I remember constantly watching the velociraptor episode on a computer at the town library.
this is CHILDHOOD you showed me CHILDHOOD thanks for showing CHILDHOOD
I remember watching this as a kid. The nostalgia is rushing through
Can you do a review on "dinosaur" a film from disney???
This show was the stuff back in the day .
Yeah, this was good. I remember dragging my dad all over town to find a copy of this before we eventually found a copy on Best Buy's website because I thought it was that good.
Carcharodontosaurs were from Africa, not South America. Maybe they were thinking of Mapusaurus or Giganotosaurus, both of which were similar.
I *think* they addressed that in the episode? But it's worth saying that Giganoto (98 mya), Mapu (95 mya) and Carcharodonto (100-95 mya) were all gone when Saltasaurus (80 mya) was roaming Argentina. And I can give them a pass with 1-5 million years, but 15? Harder.
Or possibly Tyrannotitan
It is aerosteon a megaraptorid dinosaur
The scene with the baby saltosaurs in the woods terrified me when I was a kid. Anyone else?
This was one of my first (if not the first dinosaur documentary) that I ever saw that helped me, along with Jurassic Park(even though that's a inaccurate movie) that really got me interested in dinosaurs and learning as much as humanly possible. Plus it was one of the first things I saw as a kid that got really bloody and full of multilated corpses, which is always a plus in my book!
Little das' hunt is the episode i watched alot when I was a child
I would like to see BBC doing their own version of Dinosaur Planet but in the same style as Planet Earth, Planet Earth II, Blue Planet, Blue Planet II, Africa, and Life. And also for the narration to be by David Attenborough
I loved your biggest wish same as me
Oh Hello There
Just watch Prehistoric Planet and your wishes will be granted
Should’ve just hired the Walking with dinosaurs narrator 😂😂
I haven't watched this sires but I feel sorry for Pod, he's all alone with a smaller weaker version of himself and I wish someone could help him.
tarascosaurus is only known from one small leg bone. dinosaur planet portrays it as an abelisaur when we actually don't what dinosaur it was at all
It was a theropod, rest are estimated speculation
The volcanic eruption in Little Das’ Hunt was easily one of my absolute favorite dinosaur documentary moments ever made.
little das's hunt almost makes my cry at the end
+HoopsAndDinoMan Hi just an informative tid bit is that the Velociraptor segment while it is true the velociraptor shown in this documentary are Velociraptor mongolienses while Michael Crichton both researched and wrote the Velociraptors in Jurassic park as Deinonychus Antirrhopus known as Velociraptor Antirrhopus during his time.
Even though it isn't perfect and is a little dated it still holds up as one of the best dinosaur documentaries ever made. I think my favorite story was Pod's Travels, the story exploring insular dwarfism was really cool.
This is what made me love dinosaurs! Not land before time. I love these stories to death, I would rewatch them a thousand times and I still own the vhs I ordered! I still remember the characters and their stories white tip, pod, little das and alpha. Just such a nostalgic treasure
I remember watching the velociraptor episode hundreds of times
Pod's Travels probably was one of my favorite documentaries as a child.
I found the narrators accent a little hard to decipher along with the fact that they made a few mistakes concerning dinosaurs as the Charcharodontosaurus was actually a Giganotosaurus or Mapusaurus and the Iguanodon which were actually Rhabdodon
They never said Carcharodontosaurus, they only said Carcharodontosaurs, as in the family Carcharodontosauridae which contains Carchar, Giga, Mapu, etc.
The Dinosaur Planet carcharodontosaurs are already confirmed to be based on the remains of Aerosteon (which were thought to be of a carcharodontosaur at the time).
Another excellent review! I really need to see this one in full again. From what I remember, the Pod episode was easily my favorite as I really liked the story about this small creature being swept away to a land where he is suddenly the largest predator. It had a lot of imagination and emotion to it that sticks with me all these years later. Even the narration (which I remember finding rather over-delivered and a bit annoying throughout all four episodes) really seemed to work in that finale where Pod finds the log that carried him to the island and the scent reminds him of a world he will never set foot on again.
I liked the episode with Pod quite a lot when I was little, and I still have the DVDs (if I recall correctly, on that DVD there were two episodes - the one with Pod and the one with Das). Also, as a Romanian, it's actually one of the only depictions of the Hațeg fauna I've seen in a dinosaur documentary, so it was a pleasant surprise to see it.
Saltasaurus is so chunky in this series
Chad Arnold I know. What was that about?
Yes I know that it was a titanosaurian sauropod and it likely was kinda bulky in build, but it wouldn’t have been that chunky.
I like them big I like them chonky I like them big I like them plumped
Pods' story is so damn good. Also thumbs up for the feathered Oviraptor. Just like you, I was like "wait...that doesn't wait...yeah, that does fit".
My favorite documentary series, used to watch it when I was a kid. I love all the desings and stories behind the dinosaurs shown in the mini-series. I should say that I met Saltasaurus in Alpha's Egg episode and now days it's my favorite Sauropod. Also, the "Carcharodontosaurus" is not that and not even an Giganotosaurus, Mapusaurus or Tyrannotitan; apparently is now an Aerosteon (Neovenatorid) but it used to be refered as a Carchar.
By the end of these 4 episodes is simple.
White Tip's Jounery: White Tip returns to her two babies, and she has to find a new pack all alone.
Pod's Travel: Pod sharing some small black predators pack to it's food.
Little Das' Hunt: Family of Daspletosaurus were killed in a volcano.
Alpha's Egg: Dragonfly's mate returns alone, while Alpha, still alive, walks twords the her herd.
Actually, in Little Das’ Hunt, the ending was that Daspletosaurs evolved into T Rex and Miassaura evolved into Edmontosaurus (which is inaccurate)
I really loved this series back as a kid. It introduced me to so many different types of dinosaurs I never heard of before at the time.
Fun fact! The velociraptors in Jurassic Park were based on the Deinonychus.
True.
Actually they were based of utahraptor
Cause the raptor in Jurassic park was so big
@@caitlynpearl7480 Actually no. The raptors in both the original film and the Crichton novel were based pretty much entirely on deinonychus. Utahraptor hadn't even been discovered yet at the time of the writing of the novel or the making/release of the film
In my conclusion
If the fictional universe had the real world paleontology on it, those scaly big raptors would definitely be Dakotaraptors, the fossils from first and third Jurassic Park are discovered in North America, and Dakotaraptor is the only North American dromaeosaur to match almost the raptors of Jurassic Franchise.
I think the german version cuts out the scientist parts and switches to a quick deeper look into one of the fossils by the narrator and some footage of the scene in a flashback tone.
I remeber watching this when i was younger and loving it☺
Pods story is in my opinion the best plot in a dinosaur documentary there is. Even Ornithocheiros of WWD is nowhere near as chilling, sad and also funny at times.
Personally i like the Ornithocheirus episode more
6:29 as Wario would say, I've won, but at what cost?
This is one of my favorite dinosaur documentaries
I was hooked on this series from day one My favorite episode is called (Pods travels) I love that he washed up on an island with all dwarf dinosaurs🦕💙🔥
Pretty great review! I've known about this series for a while now, and in spite of the numerous inaccuracies by today's standards, I'm still in love with this mini-series.
Dinosaur Planet really is worth checking out
*when you forget Walking With Dinosaurs had a famous actor as the narrator*
The Future is Wild seems to be a really popular (and fairly unique, you don't hear anybody talk about it) request, so I'll join the party and recomend that to be the next one as well.
Are you ever going to review Jurassic Fight Club? I would love to know your thoughts and opinions on it.
Gavin Myatt
I'll give a brief review from my perspective: Unless you make prehistoric AMVs for a living, there's very little substance to be found with Jurassic Fight Club.
The saltasaurs Are so THICC.
Those saltasaurus look really thicc
Edit:I guess the thicc ones are magyarosaurus not saltasaurus,but my god do they look bloated
Magyrosaurus was in Switzerland not South America!
That’s insulting for you to say they’re thicc
Fuckin' hell
Magyarosaurus is called that way because it's a Hungarian dinosaur
It's even in it's name 🤦♂️
Ahhh... Childhood memories
I like how the raptor was like “ ea what happened to me? Why are you so much bigger? Yikes*runs*
Finaly!! Dinosaurs with feathers!
This series is where I discovered my favorite dinosaur the pyroraptor,as from the final episode starring Pod and his journey,that episode and tip's journey are my favorites episodes of the series
I love this show!,pod's travels is my favorite episode!
Another thing to note is that they reuse the models for other, similar creatures. The slatasaurus, alcasaurus and a few others like that crocodilian are used more than once. Presumably it was used to save budget
2nd Favorite Dinosaur Documentary really entertaining👍❤️🙏😊 and fun👍❤️🦖🙏🦕🦖
You forget to mention T-Rex in "the end of Little Das's hunt."
This series is to me what When Dinosaurs Roamed America is to you. I am really glad you enjoyed it.
Man, oh man I’ve finally found it! I watched all of the episodes with my grandfather when I was a kid, didn’t miss one!
This was always great & worth the rewatch. Its timeless & i would just love to see more if it could happen
IKR I was so bummed as a kid that there weren’t more episodes!
You didn't mention that the carcharodontosaurus in the episode was actually a giganotosaurus since carcharodontosaurus was found in Africa if I'm not mistaken
That's dinosaur is actually aersteron. A megaraptorid
@@alioramus1637 googling aersteron shows nothing related to dinosaurs and searching 'aersteron dinosaur' literally gives no result so I'm having a hard time believing such a creature even exists.
It was aerosteon
I’m sure they type Aerosteon, which is in fact a real dinosaur.
narrator in dinosaur planet say they "Carcharodontosaurs" Not carcharodontosaurus because they found fossil think is species of Carcharodontosauridae after all now they are Aerosteon a Megaraptoran
Famous voice actors making minor inoffensive jokes in a dinosaur dictionary;
You know, for kids!
I know it's not a documentary but do you plan on reviewing primeval at any point?
Or jurassic fight club
Review monsters we met BBC?!
What's that?
A three-part miniseries about early humans spreading across the world during the ice age and encountering the dangerous animals (in the regions of North America, Australia, and New Zealand)
Oh my gosh i just went on a crusade of nostalgia! I just watched just about all of your dinosaur mini-series and the one about the alien planet and the one about Earth in the future
The saltosauruses look like obese apatosauruses XD
Why are they so THICC?
This is like America's own Walking with Dinosaurs.
Carcharodontosaurus was not in south America so it was a nitpick because I love Carcha!
Rhydon Dude
Provided Dougal Dixon didn't assist in this series' production.
The oviraptor are actually citipati there size and crest size give it away of course this show was made when paleontologist thought they were the same.
Do the future is wild next please!
Thanks for making this one dude, it was one of my favorites. Now onto the newer ones: Planet Dinosaur, March of the Dinosaurs, and (ack) the Walking with Dinosaurs movie (great visuals, terrible voice acting/script!)
I'll probably check out those other ones, but I don't plan on doing the WWD movie. I don't really have an interest in reviewing movies I don't like.
Do Animal Armageddon! =)
Makes sense XD is that why you never did Jurassic Park III?
I love this series, but it always irked me as a kid was the inaccuracy of Carcharodontosaurus. They were only ever located in Africa, so I think the show meant to call them Giganotosaurus...
I agree I get to see my favorite dinosaur of all time and they said the wrong dinosaur. Someone really needs's to fix that.
They were supposed to be generic large carcharodontosaurids rather than specifically Carcharodontosaurus.
Dougal Dixon might have something to do with that.
@@EvilBertieChap The Dinoviewer application identifies them as Carcharodontosaurus.
I actually thoroughly enjoy Christian Slater's narration in this documentary and Prehistoric Planet. Typical nature doc narrators tend to put me to sleep, and Slater knew how to deliver lines in an exciting manner. Granted, I was too young to be familiar with his acting career, so it may not bug me as much as it does for older viewers.
Dinosaur Planet is definitely the most story-driven dino doc to date. It allowed me to actually care about White Tip, Das, Alpha, and Pod to an extent that wouldn't be possible with other shows. And most of the story lines are actually directed in a mature fashion, so it doesn't feel like some shit show like WWD 3D.
Another solid video, mate.
I first heard the narration as a young child and I loved it. Now, after seeing one of my favorite movies, which Slater stars in, I only can think of one thing.
JD from Heathers likes dinosaurs.
3:32 what species is that he is so small and I want to protect him
Wished I could see Dinosaur Planet remade by BBC in Planet Earth 1 and 2 Blue Planet Africa and Life Style and narrated by legendary David Attenborough
Or even a similar movie made by Disney Nature
I think you should review Dinosaur Revolution
Geezus, that sauropod in the last episode is a chonky boy.
Oh lawd he comin
