Diplodocus Herd - Walking with Dinosaurs: Ballad of Big Al - BBC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Big Al's skills as a predator are put to the test when he and two other Allosauruses face a herd of Diplodocus.
Broadcast in 1999, Walking with Dinosaurs set out to create the most accurate portrayal of prehistoric animals ever seen on the screen. Combining fact and informed speculation with cutting-edge computer graphics and animatronics effects, the series took two years to make.

Some kids grew up with Star Wars - I grew up with this. This scene was always one of my favorites, and I still think it's one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. The CGI doesn't look quite as good now as it did to me at 12 years old, but the nostalgia more than makes up for it.
I’d be lying if I said seeing allosaurus weaving in and out of the diplodocus herd didn’t remind me of a space battle in Star Wars. Must be the music, or maybe just seeing them navigate around the giant animals reminds me of scenes in the Star Wars movies where starfighters would fly past the big ships
I grew up with both.
👏 FACTS
Well cgi is still pretty legit compared to other docum. And movies
@@mcrfan343 Same
3:24 I love the little detail of the Allosaurus scratching it neck, like they didn’t have to do that but they did. Really shows how much effort and love went into show
I've watched this documentary dozens of times and never noticed that
It even opens its mouth a little during the animation, so the editors didn’t forget to put that sound effect there. Like, the opening of the allosaur’s mouth is barely noticeable at all, and they still decided to put that sound effect in there, just in case some eagle eyed viewer did notice it.
It is so cool that they showed some Allosaurus including Big AL hunting Diplodocus as a team. I did actually know that Allosaurus and maybe also Torvosaurus and Ceratosaurus hunted large herbivorous dinosaurs like Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, Stegosaurus and Camptosaurus in packs and groups. Do you think that Tyrannosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Albertosaurus, Gigantosaurus and Mapusaurus did something similar with Ticeratops, Styracosaurus, Centrosaurus, Ornithomimus, Struthomimus, Edmontosaurus, Corythosaurus, Euopephalus, Anklyosaurus, Pteranodon, Queztalcoatlus, Ciomolestes, Didelphodon, Argentinosaurus and Amargasaurus?

1:34 I love how the allosaurus runs right past the diplodocus then turns his head and says hi
2:12 that music is so freaking good
My favorite part.
It's slightly similar to the main theme of Battlefield 1.
I like the 1:14
@@Mark-qz8fu Same here
yes
This deserved a theatrical release. This is still so good to watch. I don't care about the effects quality. To, this still looks damn good. There's so much detail in the way they move. It's insane to look at how the fat jiggles and skin moves, while the muscles underneath stretch and flex. It is an outstanding amount of details that brings the dinosaurs to life. The way the camera moves along them, with that heroic Benjamin Bartlett score playing throughout the scene. This is as perfect as it could have been. They outdid themselves through and through.
Maybe updated textures for all the animals would be nice but big Al deserves a movie with this scene being more or less the climax.
3:25 I always loved that detail in the background how he just scratches his neck
It's details like that which made them feel so real.
Poor T rex can't even do that cuz his arms are too short
I didn’t even notice that until now
@@maverick5408 That's not a t-rex that's an allosaurus
@@ΚωνσταντίνοςΚατσίμπελης he MEANS the t-rex cant do that. poor carnotaurus has atom sized arms
To be honest I would love to have the walking series all, redone and with updated information.
With Kenneth Branagh brought back for the narration.
Or David Attenborough.
He is currently 91.
and with bejamin bartlett for the composer
Exactly remember the episode with the liopleurodon? Well on that episode of Walking With Dinosaurs the animal was over 80ft long now its been discovered its only at the most 30ft long. Would love for them to correct that.
This is the first pronunciation of "Diplodocus" I ever heard and I have always refused to say it any other way.
dj12699 same. I read it as Diplo + docus like hocus pocus forever since I’ve never heard it pronounced
When I was younger my mom and I pronounced it Diplow- Dockus
I used to pronounce it that same way until I went to a talk at my local museum and was quite embarrassed when the palaeontologist running the talk corrected me in front of everyone.
I've often heard Dip-lo-do-cus & Dih-pla-da-cus.
This is the way.
I love how the Allosaurus aren’t the ones who actually kill the Diplodocus, instead they surround it, and let it’s sickness and the heat finish the job. That’s smart as hell!
But how do they avoid dehydration? That was my biggest problem with this scene, how did they not also succumb to heat exhaustion like the Diplodocus did!? Because the narrator did state “after several hours” meaning the allosaurus just waited there
@@nightfuryman1209 Good question
@@nightfuryman1209 The Diplodocus was already ill. That accelerated the process of dying.
@@admiralinvertebrate5649 yeah but how did the Allosaurus not succumb to the heat that’s my biggest issue now I get the diplodocus dying because it was ill but the allosaurus are a much different story
@@nightfuryman1209 The Diplodocus had likely already been migrating for some time.
2:00 boy is that Allosaurus clumsy😂
Kinda but the diplodocus made him trip over
2:02 - What about this Allo? It was nearly dino road kill
Haven’t seen this clip in like 10 years, the soundtrack still was in my head, it’s that iconic!
It's incredible that only one series of Walking with Dinosaurs was ever made. The whole format was unique - everything since has been too 'sciency' (pauses, cross-section diagrams) instead of pure nature documentary like this.
3:04-3:09 is my favorite animal sound effect from the "Walking with" series.
Best roar ever!
Corey Wigent IKR!?
Reid Kenneth65 Sounds like a Hollow from Bleach!
Agreed. It has a sort of ghostly effect to it, I love it ^^
True, 100%
Regardless of the change in the scientific accuracy of this film, this scene is easily one of the best dinosaur scenes ever made. Seeing this with the buff allosaurus of today's science and the majestic reconstruction of the diplodocus would be a sight to behold.
Anyone noticed that one of the diplodocus head is glitching for a second in 1:24?😂😂😂
Where?
LOL, I've seen this documentary countless times, but I never noticed it!
Vihan Subramaniam the diplo that’s kinda behind the other one
Zidan Lintang_45 You've ruined this scene for me
Lol, never noticed that before XD
Nostalgia coming your way from 0:00-3:57
Torvosaurus Imperator y bbbnhjhcdddedw
Same i even remember Spanish Channels LIKE Telemundo showing this like omg nostalgia
No over the top commentary, silly graphics, roaring, repeating the scene again and again, just animals behaving naturally and an orchestral soundtrack to indictate the atmosphere.
Jamraptor this made in 1999
Just wish the allos had nipped the dip's legs, wolf style, until he/she collapsed.
Yeah in reality Allosaurus would repeatedly bite and slash at a sauropod until it dies.
It was a simpler time my friend lol
Your just a phony idiot jamraptor
1:56 oh my god, I remember that roar, it was awesome! I love walking with dinosaurs ever since I was little
Rezno97 same
Rezno97 this is my childhood ahow
Rezno97 show
It's a monkey sound and a velociraptor growl from JP
Omg SAME I have loved dinosaurs since I was born
that was one of the best lunches i have eaten :]
Can I have some?
Sure :]
another of my species! haven't seen any around anymore!
Dinosaurs rule :)
Allosaurus Change that profile pic of the douche bag Allosaurus from time of the titans to big Al.
Oh shit boys, Walking with Dinosaurs is coming back!
It would be awesome if they made an updated Walking with Dinosaurs. Updated graphics, updated information, etc. I would totally watch it!
We’re so back!!!
I grew up with this series, I think I was about 4 when I started watching. Allosaurus is still one of my favorites.
My obsession with dinosaurs almost pushed me into paleontology, but I'm still glad I can come back to these to relive that time. Scientific changes and new discoveries have made some of this series outdated, and yet this feels timeless.
This has to be the greatest dinosaur scene in the history of the world! My top favorites in what would lost likely be a realistic battle, and the Allosaurus didn't even have to fight the Diplodocus! This is how I imagine dinosaurs hunting, living, and thriving! Thanks Walking with Dinosaurs!
Its not realistic - the diplodocuses and the big allosaurus that come at the end are oversized,the allosaurs are too bulky.Also,they would never been able to take down animal at that size,Allosaurus probably hunted only juvenile sauropods.
THEO the agenda troll yes but its the most realistic dinosaur behaviors. There is no big boss battle like in most movies and documentaries but instead the allosaurs pick out the weakest sauropod and wait for it to die from its illnesses. Remember this was made in 2000 so dont expect it to be up to date.
+THEO the agenda troll The scene in this video is entirely plausible. They never attacked the giant sick Diplodcous instead they waited for it to collapse before eating. No effort needed.
THEO the agenda troll
Yeah a Diplodocus that size would just walk through the entrapment. An adult Camarasaurus lentus is small enough that a gang could take it down, though.
Also, they would wear it down further by biting and hacking at it, not rely on the sun.
I really like how they were running at 1:06 looks so good and realistic it makes the original upright walking position looks embarrassingly lame
i fail to understand how the CGI and just the look of the dinosaurs back then looked way better than those of todays documentaries
Ikr
BBC is government funded...so when it needs to it has a lot of money
Meech Films 2 And it's mainly DIscovery Channel that makes dinosaur documentaries now. And damn their CGI looks bad. I also heard that in those old documentaries they used the same technique as in Jurassic Park. So also a reason why they look way better
+BurgerPwner What technuiqe?
+Tyrannozilla Productions (Russell Navorio) i'm not really sure what they did but they made it using the same methods as used in the making of jurassic park. atleast thats what i red somewhere
God, this was my all-time favorite program when I was a kid, it easily surpassed every movie and TV show I'd seen at that point and managed to captivate me in a way that nothing else had really done before. When I was seven I would send letters and drawings to Rebecca Hanna (the paleontologist who was featured so heavily in the behind the scenes) and even got a few back from her in turn.
This is one one of the best scenes in the whole walking with series.
And the soundtrack, omg amazing.
I just wish this could be up dated.
5 year old allosaurus: takes down enormous sauropod that could easily kill him
5 year old human: _help i can't tie my shoe_
1:52-1:58 when you oversleep and school is in 5 minutes
OLD BANANA GAMING Yup, roar and growl to get them out the way.
I remember always watching this when I was younger. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible.
1:59 I never understood why that one fell.
My guess is that the salt crust of the dried up lake collapsed under the weight of the Allosaurus.
Neil Sanghvi
Good theory
I always thought that one just tripped 🤣 but it could be both
Neil Sanghvi
Yeah, I think that the salt crust collapsed because if you watch the scene carefully frame by frame, you can see that the Allosaurus didn’t trip.
He tripped
It was the clumsy one in the group
I remember when I was sick as child and I was watching these series on VHS...unbelievable how fast is time running.
This soundtrack is Godly
A masterclass in documentary film-making. The framing, pacing, narration, and soundtrack meld perfectly and build the tension, excitement, and finally conclusion of the hunt. The way the respective musical leitmotifs of the allosaurus and diplodocus sound off right on time to underscore David Tennant's statements is impeccable.
Man, I can’t help but chuckle at the years-old comments about how much better WWD was than more modern dinosaur documentaries. Y’all weren’t exactly wrong, mind, but… oh, man. We had no idea what was coming, did we xD
I see why this series was all the rage! It's awesome and so gorgeous!
I like when it streches it's neck out a bit in the end. 3:51
3:05 epic roar Diplodocus angry and injurie
48 diplodocus disliked this .
Make that 61
Brittany krill Make that 82
kingofnerds31 I blame the mating season, and slower Allosaurs. They're letting more weak Diplodocus grow up to dislike this. We may need to start culling them again. Anyone else want to go hunting for sauropods?
I say next we hunt brontosaurus
kingofnerds31 Indeed, let's make Littlefoot go extinct! WOOHOO!!!
I love this scene for the very reason that while the Allosaurs work together, the commentary makes it very clear that they are not a true pack. They only came together out of necessity. It’s an interesting thought as opposed to the idea that Allosaurus was a pack Hunter their entire lives.
I like the Diplodocus, it is my favourite Dinosaur.
It is samething that I like Diplodocus he is my favourite Dinosaur ever
This Dinosaur Series sure is a Great Award Winning Classic. :D
Oh the nostalgia hits hard. I've watches those documentaries as a kid in a german tv.
Allo fells down.
*Other Allo: Man, this is too intense.*
Guys, This is the best Version of Big AI´s Death,See for yourself.

At 2:19 the diplodocus knocks his head against the camera!
And at 2:34 if you listen closely, you can hear a sped up version of Time of the Titans in the background.
Just love it the music is epic
noah glenn ikr,
I love that
noah glenn ju9
2:10 Go, All, go!
Wise decision, let dinos and instruments talk.
Don't jabber, gabble, blubber, stutter, or lecture every second of the show, paleo talk shows.
Yea I used to watch this as a kid.Its still good til this day.I love the whipping sound it’s just cool.
Coming back to this scene after so many years...I think we can all agree, as passionate fans of the incredible creatures that once roamed our planet, that this, right here, is one of the most iconic moments of any dinosaur documentary _ever._ No heavy narration, no heavy analysis, just...Dinosaurs.
"brings the diplodocus to it's knees"
falls on its side
It's figurative.
LOL
I genuinely think watching these documentaries as a child made me smarter I literally spent my whole childhood gathering information whilst also enjoying something fun to watch whilst everyone else at school would watch spongebob
bob esponja gay
oh the nostalgia i used to watch this when i was 4-5 years old
Justin Lopez same
it was how thegamingbeaver died as puertasaurus, getting mobbed by allosaurus players.
this is the isle allosaurus in a nutshell
I have the entire package, "BBC's Prehistoric Earth: A Natural History"
watched it when I was 5 or 6, and if you remember "Time Of The Titans" you saw the size of a full grown Diplodocus is 5 times the size of this herd, so that tells you these Diplodocus aren't yet adults
Lol
Hocus pocus, Diplodocus
The predator's here, y'all take notice
An updated version of this is well overdue. Still absolutely brilliant though.
3:04, like the Allosaurus taking a "testing nip" at the prey's foot.
and for doing that he received a strong blow
2:18 How the cameraman survived that ???
Years of practice, my friend. Years of practice. :P
Dennis Taylor Damn... You’re right boi... millions of years at least, left something...
Bro could take a hit
This documentary is interesting about an Allosaurus pack with Al hunting and separating the diplodocus herd
3:08 big bruh moment
And his final words were "choke on it"
Great avatar and username XD
Your avatar and name is funnier than the joke.
CHOKE ON EEEEEEEEM!
*CHOOOKE OOON EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!*
I grew up with this movie years ago and this was always my favorite scenes. The chase music makes it even better.
And to this day they’ve never made a better dinosaur programme/documentary with this amount of effort again.
1:34 Hi there!
It did sound like it said that
The neck of Sauropods was actually incredibly mascular and should have much more soft tissue presented. Biting the neck is not as easy as movies suggests. A theropod like Allosaurus with its weak bite would have a hard time cutting through even the skin. HOWEVER, the bite of Allosaurus shows that it had a very wide gape opening. Meaning a weaker bite force yeah (which was estimated to be around 2,000 PSI), but a slashing axe bite that, if broke the skin, could cause massive bleeding and internal organs rupture.
👍
Xand W: that's true. And I respect the WWD documentary for showing them as actual animals. Nevertheless, I would like an updated version that wouldn't shit all over the original like the WWD 3D did.
The hatchet theory is disproven.
That’s it….
Also Allosaurus probably don’t have that weak bite anymore.
This stampede is awesome, the way the Saurophaganax move out of the way just in time when of the Diplodocus is about to trample them, it's just so damn realistic and I love every of it.
That’s allosaurus not saurophaganax

Anyone ever realize the last two diplodocus’s tails are moving in sync? At 0:13
I've seen this show since I'm conscious and I'm just discovering this detail now
If the meat tastes bland, they have plenty of salt around them
The music must have been inspired by John Williams. It sounds exactly like a dog-fight between starfighters, which fits surprisingly well!
3:01 rip allosaurus
This sequence is one of the greatest triumphs of the Walking With/Haines/Framestore franchise. All the majesty and terror and impact of watching real documentary footage of a real hunt in nature, one where the animals behave like animals, make life-or-death mistakes, harrying the prey into exhaustion. All of the excitement of a contemporary natural history series, predator and prey, life and death, natural selection writ large. All of that blood and breath and grit and muscle, all of that moving ecology. Except it's the Jurassic, and it's dinosaurs. You've stepped through time. This is the entire project realised in its ultimate form imho.
Chewbacca screech at 01:55
My most favorite allosaurus skeleton is Big Al it's kind of sad because he died as a mature adolescent and not as a full grown adult he had a hard life though. Big Al's skeleton is is special because it tells us what happened to the life of one of the Jurassic most successful predators and what I love about Big Al is that his infection on his middle toe surprisingly fossilized with the rest of his skeleton and he was known for the dinosaur that lived fast and died young
I want a new walking with dinosaur documentary as of 2021
Kindheitserinnerungen
Meine Eltern haben damals es aufgenommen auf Kassette und das komische war, dass es auf pro7 lief.... Pro7 muss mal das wieder austrahlen
Oh ja, das wäre echt sehr schön :)
Ich kann mich leider nicht mehr erinnern auf welchem Sender die Aufnahme gelaufen ist, die mein Vater aufgenommen hat.
Ich kann mich nur an einen Werbespot erinnern, wo zwei Jugendliche irgendwie in ne Garage illegal eingestiegen sind, um irgendeinen Luxusschlitten oder so mitzunehmen^^.
Bei pro7 damals lief rittersport werbung und lifestyle werbespots
Und heutzutage kommen mehr Sitcoms als solche lehrreiche Filme.... Kein Wunder, dass die jüngere Generation sich nicht mehr für z.B Dinosaurier interessieren, wenn sie die 10 k Wiederholung von Grey's Anatomie ansehen müssen
so viel deutsch aber, deutsch ist 😊
Best scene ever in the walking with ... series , (best opening still is from episode 3 )
2:12 listen to the music, it's like "Pirates of the Big Al!" or "Pirates of Jurassic"
it does doesn't it
Its like "La Foliá"
I used to watch this over and over as a little kid
Lol love how the diplodcus avoids the allo and just runs also the MUSIC is what makes the video cool
2:45 When I near farts and gaz coming of the toilet like a diplo's roar.
Amazing sound score!
real
The music in this special didn't have to go so hard, but I'm glad it did. I've been listening to that track all weekend
Me: diplodocus
Ali a: DIPLODONCOLUS
R3cruit M4in me
ITS A DIPULODONCULUS
I was running hearing this music and in the part where the allosaurus tripped and fell I tripped, then I got up and continued to run
Oh wait it’s the wrong part
I was in elementary school at that time and when I was sick staying home , i was always binge watching the whole day until parents came home . It was amazing ! ♥️
Oh and this deserves more views
The allosaurs were down tremendously
That was the best documentary about dinosaurs every did!👍🏻👏🏻
😍😳🥲my childhood still have this on DVD can't wait to show my kids
When I first saw this scene, I thought the Diplodocus herd was in a single file line from the front view, but then I would get confused when the side view showed them one in front of the other. I now realize that it was an optical illusion.
Diplodcus is my fav sauropod
1:24 “Allosaurus had never seen such bullshit before” 😂
My favorite dinosaurs the diplodocus they look so awsome.
Diplodocus: I feel hungry
Carnivore 1:he is dying
Carnivore 2: oh yes time to feast
Diplodocus: dies*
They're Allosaurus
