They're gonna put my heart through a rollercoaster with that baby, I just know it. Interesting colours for the alberto. Looking forward to seeing them all in motion later!
Looks amazing! I do wish they would use puppets and animatronics for close ups like they did back in 99. Still, my mind is blown we're getting an actual Walking With Dinosaurs 2. Still love you Prehistoric Planet, you'll always be my unofficial Walking With Dinosaurs 2.
@@surgeonsergio6839 CGI can provide all three of those aspects but just like any medium you cant have more than two at once without significant drawbacks to the third. Its the triple constraint. And from the looks of things it looks like they've chosen cost and flexibility rather than believability.
@ bro how can you tell me that im wrong on a completely subjective matter? to imply that liking the charm and appeal of practical effects is just pure nostalgia is nonsense. they have a time and place just like cg has. reject nostalgia XD give me a break. original comment didint even criticize it for not using it, it was literally just expressing a wish, why do you feel the need to poke at that?
I really can't wait for this new Walking With Dinosaurs! I remember my mum recording every episode on video tapes, so I could watch them when I got home from school :) It's been a great part of my childhood and I hope it's gonna be as good (if not better) than it was all those years ago (Man I feel old now haha)
An interesting detail on the Albertosaurus in the middle is that it has a bite wound on its snout, so it got bitten recently (face biting in large theropods is well documented as we know). If I had to guess it's a young male that got put in place by a larger adult (possibly the one from the closeup since it looks much stockier).
With "Prehistoric Planet" being more like "Planet Earth", with multiple segments centred around a similar theme rather than one story per episode, I hope "WWD.2" sticks to its roots. It's a shame that they don't have the budget of "Prehistoric Planet", but it'd be hard to top those effects. What, to me at least, elevates "WWD." is its sense of majesty, which it achieved through the live photography and sumptuous score. Altho Ben Bartlet isn't returning, I hope the music is more memorable that "Prehistoric Planet", of which I only remember the main theme.
Its definitely a major step down in quality from Prehistoric Planet, and id argue also a step down from Life On Our Planet, which is very dissappointing for THE paleo-documentary. Im really hopeful these are just bad/unfinished shots. I dont want to be pessimistic towards a show ive waited years for, but the CGI and Rendering just really doesnt look great.
I'm very worried but will remain optimistic for now. It obviously looks far worse than Prehistoric Planet but I'm not going to fault it for that when the budget is far less. It just comes down to the execution which we don't know yet. What worries me is the fact that they've already said there will be 'talking heads' segments, which the original Walking with Dinosaurs became famous in the first place for ditching that concept and only focusing on the animals, so already it's a total misunderstanding of why the original was so great. I also really don't like the Albertosaurus feathering. It reads just like the Tyrannosaurus from Life on Our Planet. They just slapped a random display feature on because we know dinosaurs had feathers, without actually taking anything into context. Therapods like Albertosaurus would have only been sparsely feathered, like the Tyrannosaurus in Prehistoric Planet, or in cases where they were more feathered, such as Yutyrannus, they were fully feathered. Slapping a random patch on just to say "we knew dinosaurs had feathers" is concerning and reminds me of old art of Velociraptor where they'd just stick some feathers on the arm and call it accurate now. Pack hunting is also such an ancient and unconfirmed trope to continue doubling down on (at least in this species they have a reason) and that also concerns me. I really hope this doesn't travel down the same path as Life on Our Planet did. I REALLY hope this is not just a cash grab and it can stand on its own; only time will tell.
life on our planet’s cgi rendering quality was very inconsistent sometimes the animals looked real and sometimes they looked trash the show itself was trash
I am grateful for a new series of WWD, but I am slightly worried there will be no Triassic or marine episode like last time. I mean confirmed are: hell creek, alberta, morocco, portugal and utah: 4 Late Cretaceous and 1 Late Jurassic all terrestrial..
the lips on the Albertosautus are great but the do look a little bit off for some reason. i don’t think i’ll like the pack hunting just because it seems so unlikely. 20 found in one spot does not seem like a social aggregation to me at all. must have been a very rare situation or natural disaster. happy to see my boy Pachyrhinosaurus receive more love!! they were done dirty in Prehistoric Planet when that one just died without putting up a fight. hopefully we see one use it’s nasal boss this time. so hyped.
Heck yeah. Alberta is my home Province and my own backyard so I always enjoy seeing it in paleo media. I also was under the impression that this was gonna be the same people who did Prehistoric Planet but I guess not. Maybe we still have hope that will get a season 3?
A new season of Walking with Dinosaurs. Super cool. I remember how cool the show looked like when it first came out, and then revisiting the show years later ... like WTF is this. So looking forward to it.
Great news, if WWD2025 gets successful, then it's possible that we'll get a: i) Walking With Monsters ii) Walking With Beasts & iii) Prehistoric Park reboot somewhere in 2026-2030 (while AppleTV+ Prehistoric Planet will get more future seasons if the announce the next but 3rd season somewhere in late 2025/Early 2026), right👍😉🦂🦖🐘🌌
I want to be excited for this, but after the movie, learning about the lower budget, the presence of the talking heads and the likelihood that there will be no practical effects to offset the rough looking CGI, I'm going to hold my breath. At least we'll always have the original trilogy and Prehistoric Planet to look fondly back on.
Wasn't the first WWD like one of the most revolutionary dinosaur documentaries ever made? What excuse do they have to make something that looks worse than Prehistoric Planet? Unless it's only purpose is to make some quick buck riding on JW Rebirth's hype. The alberto's and pachy's color patterns really look like some of the default skins from Path of Titans...
I'm a huge fan of the original series and I'm sorry to all the people that worked on this but I on all honesty don't like the quality of this at all, it looks like a generic dinosaur documentary from the early 2010s, I was expecting prehistoric planet quality but not even close, and with this quality I'm pretty sure the use of animatronic which was something I was pretty exited about was something they didn't even consider
I’m gonna be real, I’m only gonna watch it if it has the orchestral score and the puppet/animatronics closeups. That’s what made WWD unique, and taking that away makes it another generic Dino-documentary
The design looks like it's from the early 2000's while using today's animation techniques. But I hope that the stories will be better than in Prehistoric Planet.
Even though I am, you know not of the age of most people who watch the original walking of dinosaurs. I still love it, even if the lio is bigger than a whale.
Why shouldn't we expect the visual level of Prehistoric Planet? Is the BBC some kind of poor, one-man production company? Walking with Dinosaurs is a classic and a major success in their portfolio. They should invest a significant amount of money into the continuation of such a legendary series, and we should expect a high standard.
What's interesting is that Prehistoric Planet is also made by BBC Studios with the collaboration of Apple TV. So they know everything how to make a paleo-documentary right, yet the CGI looks a bit off for me. However, my biggest fear is that they'll interrupt the dinosaur segments with the talking heads. If they do that, they'll be on the path of Life on Our Planet. Don't interrupt the dinosaur segments! It doesn't work, it never worked. I know there will be talking heads, I just wish that they'll do half an hour of dinosaur action, and half an hour of research segments after that. Also, this series desperately needs Kenneth Branagh's narration. If not, and we know the designs will look nothing like in the original, then it's not WWD, only a cash grab. Let's hope it won't be, but I have my doubts.
@@zoltanfeher9475 The talking heads are important though. I don't think they fit in WWD's style of documentary (and I don't expect them to be in this one). But documentaries focused on paleontology SHOULD have experts weighing in if they're to be educational.
@@GandalfTheTsaagan Agreed. The Ballad of Big Al did it perfectly to separate the main story and the science. As a kid, I always watched both (still do).
I can forgive the inferior cg quality to prehistoric planet and weird purple on the Albertosaurus if Kenneth Branagh comes back the narrate and/or the style and storytelling is overall similar to the original walking with series
I strongly feel like they specifically gave pachyrhinosaurus its own episode as their way to "redo" the disaster 3D movie, and to give the middle-finger towards 20th Century Fox studios.
@tullimonstrum52 Oh, it wasn't a bad movie. It just wasn't what people wanted out of a Walking with Dinosaurs movie - people wanted a speculative documentary, not a dinosaur coming of age story.
@@flamealisk1584 I've heard a bunch of people didn't like it because of the voiceover of otherwise realistic dinosaurs, but that just means it's divisive, not a disaster
Why? The design from the movie was fantastic, and from this new image it looks like a massive downgrade compared to the wwd movie design. This isn5 a middle finger…it’s them trying it again but worse 😂
The purple on the Albertosaurus' face does not look very natural imo. It looks like a bad video game skin. EDIT: This is just my opinion. Purple is pretty rare in nature on scaly integument, so that is one reason. Yes I know all about birds. However purple is also rather rare in birds as well.
Honestly, I dig it. It's quite rare to see such colors on dinosaurs. They're usually just depicted with browns, blacks, Reds, and all those colors. Not that it's bad, it's just that they need some uniqueness, and I think the purple coloration on the albertasaurus is fantastic
I can’t wait till it comes out. The Pachyrhinosaurs looks pretty dope and for the Tyrannosaur, I thought that this animal was a nanuqsaurus for some weird reason but no, it’s a albertosaurus
Ok now I'm worried, those CGI dosen't look good, the close up is nice though. But the trio and the pachy yeah no, the textures are weird kinda like blurry or something. I hope it's not finished product. We already know that this WWD 'remake' will not be 100% a true remake already cause there's gonna be talking heads interupting the show, so please don't mess the CGI at least.
@catpoke9557 Yes, they have implied it. "(...)each episode of WALKING WITH DINOSAURS tells the dramatic story of an individual dinosaur whose remains are currently being unearthed by world-leading dinosaur hunters(...) As the dinosaurs’ bones emerge from the ground, the series brings these prehistoric stories to life with state-of-the-art visual effects(...)" That sounds like one of those typicals documentaries "ala American" with major part of episodes dedicated to people talking to the camera and showing dig sites to then showing bones magically becoming alive and going through the CGI scenes part, and that at different momments of each episodes. The true question is how much of that do we'll get in each episode ? Cause I think that something that would killed it for people who trully expect a true REMAKE of WWD serie wit full immersion/zero interuptions like before.
Nostalgia might not be as presentable as i thought but still it will be a quality series, Either way i think the biggest paleo documentary of 2025 and maybe even for years is Surviving Earth
@ΠαναγιωτηςΑγγελ I agree. I'll still watch WWD, maybe when in front of the show I will be surprise ? But yeah since I know all those things I'm waiting more Surviving Earth, since it's made by the same director who made WWD 90's : Tim Haines.
The Rhinos looks almost like they could be irl sculpts to me? The eyes have no life to them and the textures look very plastic. They unfortunately look like a model toy I could find at the store, which while are well sculpted on all the groves and scales has a horrible pain job with no shine that does nothing to help the model. (Genuinely you’ll give the alberts some crazy purple but make these guys a dusty brown?) However I’m still pretty sure these are 3d models, again for an unfortunate reason. The adult looks like it has stretched and flat textures instead of fully modeled scales. The skin above the beak, right the nose looks flat along with the skin between the brow and frill, then the skin between the back jaw and neck seem stretched awkwardly. Idk that’s just what it all looks like to me, I’d like to know if anybody sees it too.
Oh they look gorgeous. Maybe not quite on the same visual tier as Prehistoric Planet, but once they’re in motion, and the scenes are playing out….. Honestly, any new paleo documentary is a welcome addition. I’m curious to see the Albertasaurus pack dynamics they depict
Also, I'm a big fan of the lavender highlights. Admittedly I'm biased because it's one of my favourite colors, but it's also a nice departure of the red/green/blue/yellow that's often used for these colorations
those colours are used a lot because they're common pigments in nature, whilst purple is literally **the** most energetically expensive pigment for animals to produce if it's not on a feathered integument and is incredibly rare in scaled animals in the wild
These look great. I can't get over how much negativity i'm seeing in these comments. I'll agree the Albertosaurus trio looks a little rough but the face close up looks really good and the Pachyrhinosaurus looks amazing
@@YetAnotherLetsPlayer We've been spoiled with a couple of high budget documentaries and now everything has to live to that standard. Similar to how no dinosaur documentary could ever live to the standard of WWD until PhP came out. Don't get me wrong, I also wish that my favourite genre of documentaries got the highest treatment, but it's not a realistic expectation.
This made my childhood, i tried to find orginal WWD a lot in internet, now i accidentally came across this, i hope dinosaurs have "soul", in Prehistoric Planet i ain't feel "connected" with dinosaurs and this made PP boring for me, ik its a documentary not a movie, but WWD was almost the 2 at same time, and cgi looks normal to me, maybe im biased tho.
not to be a hater but i think walking with dinosaurs the movie had a better pachyrhinosaurus design than this ones. The head shape and the muscle distribution just looks weird. May be it will look better in the official trailer or the show itself
I see this images and I think they are very outstanding! Way better than life on our planet, the render quality is lower than prehistoric planet but the designs of the models are very detailed and seen accurate so far. Is a sort of evolution from evergreen films the creators of Walking with Dinosaurs 2013 movie
It's a weird mid-ground for me I think, anatomically much better than the dinosaurs in LooP but on a technical level the CGI looks a lot poorer - feels like there's absolutely no height maps so the dinosaurs come off looking like they've been made of play doh and there's visible texture stretches in one of the images
Pachyrhinosaurus deserves all the love! Am I biased because I excavate and prepare their fossils in the Wapiti Formation in Northern Alberta... yes, but still my favourite ceratopsian. Also the PBS website says its Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai which is known from the Wapiti.
Those designs suck tea bag!! The Pachyrhinosaurus is horrible, it looks dimwitted, with barely open eyes, and the Albertosaurus, instead of being represented with facial scales on the snout and jaw has elephantine wrinkles all over them, Jesus!
Honestly the first dinos u showed i stil feel like they get the potrayal of dinos compeltly wrong the spiny appadidages around theyr eyes would not be sharp but possibly soft appendigaes etc .its just like hipo or elephant skulls vompelty difrent once u put fat and other addidtions .it would make sense as dinos are birds and they would have more bird colorful appendages amd i mean all of them would. I feel represntation of dinos is stil wrong they were basicly walking huge birds not lizards
We should not expect Dinosaurs to have super fatty/muscular faces like we see in mammals. Reptiles (including birds) have much more closely adhering soft tissue to their skulls. It certainly isn’t beyond possibility for keratin to cover the knobby bits of the skull (in fact thats more what should be expected). We even have large, extravagant keratinous structures on bird heads such as the casque if a Cassowary or the casque of a Hornbill.
@blueproductions3905 idk alot of birds have very loose skin here the dinos all look more like reptiles very tight scaly not like birds at all.if anything these should have a reason and I feel like maybe they had rooster like appendages .there is simply no reason for the appendages to stick out without some reason
@@wingedhussar1453 birds do not have very loose skin. They will sometimes have soft tissue structures on their face, but removing those the muscle and skin will adhere much more to the skull than say mammals. Mammals have very meaty faces, unusually so.
@@wingedhussar1453 i mean birds are reptiles, but probably because Birds are highly highly specialized dinosaurs. Not every dinosaur is going to look like a bird or even close to it. Remember that these are multi-tonne animals. You are expecting them to have structures found on distantly related animals a fraction of the weight. Not to say it’s impossible, but it’s much more plausible for a more Cornified sheath along the knobs of the face, like we see in all living archosaurs, Crocodiles and birds.
Hey the movie didn’t look bad tbh. Watch the fight for dominance between the two Pachyrhinosaurus’; it still holds up. It was just the last minute “child-friendly” voiceover re-dub that ruined it.

The original looked so realistic I hope they can achieve something like that
So cool to see my baby Rose in the flesh. We spent three years digging her up! 🦖🌹
I don’t think the magenta one in the trio is the same as the one in the close up, as the close up la is some stripes on it’s snout.
Pachyyyyy!!!!!! Yyeesssssaa!!!!
How long are these episodes for the new series? I hope its at least an hour or 1h and 30 plus minutes
They did it they actually did it
Dam who let them cook, this is going to be awesome ❤
Honestly I’m getting really tired of Pachyrhinosaurus being in everything
Yeah, put the real stars like Regaliceratops and Einiosaurus on the spotlight
Ik there’s so many unique and underrepresented ceratopsians, and we’ve got many fantastic pachyrhinosaurus interpretations…focus on something else…
You are really going to suffer when tyrannosaurus shows up then

Ok now I'm worried, those CGI dosen't look good, the close up is nice though. But the trio and the pachy yeah no, the textures are weird kinda like blurry or something. I hope it's not finished product. We already know that this WWD 'remake' will not be 100% a true remake already cause there's gonna be talking heads interupting the show, so please don't mess the CGI at least.
@catpoke9557 Yes, they have implied it.
"(...)each episode of WALKING WITH DINOSAURS tells the dramatic story of an individual dinosaur whose remains are currently being unearthed by world-leading dinosaur hunters(...) As the dinosaurs’ bones emerge from the ground, the series brings these prehistoric stories to life with state-of-the-art visual effects(...)"
That sounds like one of those typicals documentaries "ala American" with major part of episodes dedicated to people talking to the camera and showing dig sites to then showing bones magically becoming alive and going through the CGI scenes part, and that at different momments of each episodes.
The true question is how much of that do we'll get in each episode ? Cause I think that something that would killed it for people who trully expect a true REMAKE of WWD serie wit full immersion/zero interuptions like before.
I really hope it stick with the original narrative structure
@ΠαναγιωτηςΑγγελ Too late. It is publicly known that will not be really the same.
Nostalgia might not be as presentable as i thought but still it will be a quality series, Either way i think the biggest paleo documentary of 2025 and maybe even for years is Surviving Earth
@ΠαναγιωτηςΑγγελ I agree. I'll still watch WWD, maybe when in front of the show I will be surprise ? But yeah since I know all those things I'm waiting more Surviving Earth, since it's made by the same director who made WWD 90's : Tim Haines.
The Rhinos looks almost like they could be irl sculpts to me?
The eyes have no life to them and the textures look very plastic.
They unfortunately look like a model toy I could find at the store, which while are well sculpted on all the groves and scales has a horrible pain job with no shine that does nothing to help the model. (Genuinely you’ll give the alberts some crazy purple but make these guys a dusty brown?)
However I’m still pretty sure these are 3d models, again for an unfortunate reason.
The adult looks like it has stretched and flat textures instead of fully modeled scales. The skin above the beak, right the nose looks flat along with the skin between the brow and frill, then the skin between the back jaw and neck seem stretched awkwardly.
Idk that’s just what it all looks like to me, I’d like to know if anybody sees it too.
Oh they look gorgeous. Maybe not quite on the same visual tier as Prehistoric Planet, but once they’re in motion, and the scenes are playing out….. Honestly, any new paleo documentary is a welcome addition. I’m curious to see the Albertasaurus pack dynamics they depict
Looks great
Also, I'm a big fan of the lavender highlights. Admittedly I'm biased because it's one of my favourite colors, but it's also a nice departure of the red/green/blue/yellow that's often used for these colorations
those colours are used a lot because they're common pigments in nature, whilst purple is literally **the** most energetically expensive pigment for animals to produce if it's not on a feathered integument and is incredibly rare in scaled animals in the wild
These look great. I can't get over how much negativity i'm seeing in these comments. I'll agree the Albertosaurus trio looks a little rough but the face close up looks really good and the Pachyrhinosaurus looks amazing
@@YetAnotherLetsPlayer We've been spoiled with a couple of high budget documentaries and now everything has to live to that standard. Similar to how no dinosaur documentary could ever live to the standard of WWD until PhP came out.
Don't get me wrong, I also wish that my favourite genre of documentaries got the highest treatment, but it's not a realistic expectation.
Where’s spino 😭
Oh it's beautiful 😍
doesnt feel official and authentic if its not on the discovery channel 😢 😔
This made my childhood, i tried to find orginal WWD a lot in internet, now i accidentally came across this, i hope dinosaurs have "soul", in Prehistoric Planet i ain't feel "connected" with dinosaurs and this made PP boring for me, ik its a documentary not a movie, but WWD was almost the 2 at same time, and cgi looks normal to me, maybe im biased tho.
not to be a hater but i think walking with dinosaurs the movie had a better pachyrhinosaurus design than this ones. The head shape and the muscle distribution just looks weird. May be it will look better in the official trailer or the show itself
I see this images and I think they are very outstanding! Way better than life on our planet, the render quality is lower than prehistoric planet but the designs of the models are very detailed and seen accurate so far. Is a sort of evolution from evergreen films the creators of Walking with Dinosaurs 2013 movie
It's a weird mid-ground for me I think, anatomically much better than the dinosaurs in LooP but on a technical level the CGI looks a lot poorer - feels like there's absolutely no height maps so the dinosaurs come off looking like they've been made of play doh and there's visible texture stretches in one of the images
Hope they fixed the mistakes then the movie did
I really hope they use again physical puppets and other props like the original series did
No matter the quality, CGI always look fake to me
Pachyrhinosaurus deserves all the love! Am I biased because I excavate and prepare their fossils in the Wapiti Formation in Northern Alberta... yes, but still my favourite ceratopsian. Also the PBS website says its Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai which is known from the Wapiti.
That's crazy man, I excavate and prepare Albertosaurus fossils in central Alberta 😂
i kinda have to wonder if they're making a pachyrhinosaurus episode specifically to try to right the wrongs of the WWD movie :P
Just heard about Prehistoric kingdom. And at a new update soon, they add baby's so please play that game,,,,,,,
? this looks not so great
Those designs suck tea bag!! The Pachyrhinosaurus is horrible, it looks dimwitted, with barely open eyes, and the Albertosaurus, instead of being represented with facial scales on the snout and jaw has elephantine wrinkles all over them, Jesus!
No me gusta Albertosaurus de Thanos. . 😦😕🙁
#nospoilersplz
Hello I am super duper cool
Looks kinda cheap to be honest
Very excited 😊
Honestly the first dinos u showed i stil feel like they get the potrayal of dinos compeltly wrong the spiny appadidages around theyr eyes would not be sharp but possibly soft appendigaes etc .its just like hipo or elephant skulls vompelty difrent once u put fat and other addidtions .it would make sense as dinos are birds and they would have more bird colorful appendages amd i mean all of them would. I feel represntation of dinos is stil wrong they were basicly walking huge birds not lizards
We should not expect Dinosaurs to have super fatty/muscular faces like we see in mammals. Reptiles (including birds) have much more closely adhering soft tissue to their skulls. It certainly isn’t beyond possibility for keratin to cover the knobby bits of the skull (in fact thats more what should be expected). We even have large, extravagant keratinous structures on bird heads such as the casque if a Cassowary or the casque of a Hornbill.
@blueproductions3905 idk alot of birds have very loose skin here the dinos all look more like reptiles very tight scaly not like birds at all.if anything these should have a reason and I feel like maybe they had rooster like appendages .there is simply no reason for the appendages to stick out without some reason
@@wingedhussar1453 birds do not have very loose skin. They will sometimes have soft tissue structures on their face, but removing those the muscle and skin will adhere much more to the skull than say mammals. Mammals have very meaty faces, unusually so.
@blueproductions3905 then why these dinos look like reptiles more then birds
@@wingedhussar1453 i mean birds are reptiles, but probably because Birds are highly highly specialized dinosaurs. Not every dinosaur is going to look like a bird or even close to it. Remember that these are multi-tonne animals. You are expecting them to have structures found on distantly related animals a fraction of the weight. Not to say it’s impossible, but it’s much more plausible for a more Cornified sheath along the knobs of the face, like we see in all living archosaurs, Crocodiles and birds.
Yikes, the CGI looks bad. Very dated and off to a disappointing start.
YESSSSS!!!
I'm skeptical, as so many fantastic original shows and movies are getting bad sequels. But we'll see...
OOOOO!!!
already looks better then that shitty ass 2013 movie
Hey the movie didn’t look bad tbh. Watch the fight for dominance between the two Pachyrhinosaurus’; it still holds up. It was just the last minute “child-friendly” voiceover re-dub that ruined it.
@@SaritaWolf good point
WOAH
