    I stand by the fact that Dinosaur Revolution is one of the best Dinosaur Documentaries for probably the biggest reason people hate it, the characterization of the subjects.
    Now, yes, I do believe that Dinosaur Revolution at times gets ahead of itself with the jokes and homages however, all living creatures have their own unique personalities based upon not only the environmental shifts throughout their life but just random cases of behavioral changes. Though I think forming an alliance with a completely different species is ridiculous, I think the relationships of nearly all mated pairs of Dinosaurs in the documentary was handled brilliantly, unlike other documentaries. Other documentaries will try so hard to seem to push this idea of a mating pair is purely instinctual for some Dinosaur species however I'd beg to differ. It's nice seeing so much tender care between specifically the Tyrannosaurus couple, it bridges the gap of instinct and actual feeling. That's what I look for most in Dinosaur Documentaries, emotions that most animals share, specifically birds and mammals.
    I think it's important that Dinosaurs aren't portrayed as purely instinct driven creatures, just how they shouldn't just be killing machines that lust for murder. They had emotions, feelings even if it was on the most basic level.

    What needs to be understood about DR is that the creators never set out to make a documentary in the beginning. They wanted to make a series of action stories and Looney toons-like comedy skits using highly anthropomorphised dinosaurs, in the same style as Ricardo Delgado’s Age of Reptiles comics (Delgado was involved in the early planning stages). There was no attempt to recreate naturalistic behaviour - these are cartoon characters, not animals. Unfortunately studio execs gradually cut funding over the course of the project (only about 60% of the planned segments were completed), and late in production demanded that it be re-edited as a conventional documentary. The narration was added at the last minute.

    Spicy and controversial take: If you look at the storyboard segments that the director posted (as well as the animatic included with the Dinotasia recut), it's very clear that the creators didn't really want to make this a documentary, but a cartoon about dinosaurs with realistic character designs. The only reason it's considered a documentary is because they couldn't get it aired on any channel except for the Discovery Channel, and the executives there weren't planning on going full mask-off about their programming's lack of educational value just yet. So, the executives ordered the show get turned into a documentary by hastily tacking on talking heads segments with the consultants and a cheesy narrator.
    Speaking of Dinotasia, this series got recut into a version without the documentary elements, albeit with most of the stories getting scrapped. It works a helluva lot better that way, in my opinion. It's a shame most of the stories got scrapped in the process.

    What's fun about the Protoceratoos segment is the fact that the animals are familiar, but distinct. That segment takes place in the Bayan Mandahu Formation of Inner Mongolia. Here, many of the animals are similar to the more well known Djadochta Formation, but are considered distinct enough to warrant their own species. In this case, instead of the normal P. andrewsi, DR introduces P. hellenikorhinus - a form that differs from the former in having a larger size and a pair of nasal ridges. It's encountered by Velociraptor osmolskae, a counterpart to V. mongoliensis, but having some slight skull morphology differences. Currently, it's being eyed as a separate genus.

    Torvosaurus did not exist in Africa BUT another giant Megalosaurid likely did… Megalosaurus Ingens - who is seen as very close to Torvosaurus likely is another megalosaur. The Tanzanian and Uruguayan material clearly suggests a new huge Megalosaurid (again), but it is out of the time zone of Torvosaurus and in places at points it couldn’t reach. So yes there was a giant Megalosaurid (Ingens) just we don’t know what till more evidence (which seeing as we found the Uruguay material means it’s likey more as time passes).

    Yes, with Jurassic Fight Club, Dinosaur Revolution (a mini documentary most GGI in 4 episodes release in 2011, and produce by Discovery Channel with Erik Nelson; Alan Eyres; Brooke Runnette like producers) is consider to be one of the most controversiala and bad dinodocs that ever existed !
    But at the opposite of Jurassic Fight Club, where for this later it's totally deserved, this dinodocs don't deserve all this hate since in fact, it's a good and regular but correct one (truly this dinodoc is nice, not perfect but nice) !
    In fact, it's only about the use and the treatement of the dinosaurs and others ccreatures, especially the characters with the story turn around them, who make all the unfairely reception he received. Especially its lack of seriousness mainly, who was the most criticized and made reserved reception !
    So okay, in this dinodocs, dinos and others creatures don't talk but alway have all along a sapient intelligence since they made different facila expression who represent their current mental state (when they are shocked, surprise, afraid or happy, we know that because they take head of people when they are like that), have some human reaction, made actions and situations time to time completely goofy with visual joke and gags who appears time to time too. and two or three others thing in this way.
    This production was made first and mainly at the start for a young audience, that explain theses littles things, but at the base, the series was not intended to be a documentary, but a fiction of six episodes loosely based on the famous American comic book Age of Reptiles by Ricardo Delgado (a famous person who are oftently reffered in the Jurassic Park sage, and was even behind the scenes of the third film), without a narrator. But the subject evolveda and become a animal documentary with the will to be educational. The production of the series begins in 2009 (after several months of pre-production) and has a duration of the three following years.
    But even if the result is correct and decent, his production has many problems behind the scenes, with many cut and replacement and modifications about the story and their setting and creatures. Mainly for the needs of the production and budget, so there even things who was thought but never realise. For example, the documentary was tought to have 6 episodes, and many animals on the production list was never made.
    But despite all that, the documentary is really good, his synthetic animations really more than nice (many people said that this is one of the best 3D dinos and design never made), its educational nature (even if the level of goofy is a little useless) and his entire reconstitutions of the environment and the creatures themselves are truly respectfull like they really were when they were alive, and all we see like representations is base of true knowledgen accuracies and reseachs about them. Even the hypothetical aspects of the show (like some hypothetical physical characteristics that don't pass the fossilisation process, the behaviors of dinosaurs, and even hypotheticals but interesting and still realistic situations like dinos on drug by toxic mushroom ! (on our era, in comparison, some lemurs use toxic millepedes to drug themselves). So, even his the goofy side of this doc can have a little bad impact about the learning of the infos give by this doc, there no big loss.
    And the voice by Rick Robles is decent !
    So even if this dinodocs is not perfect and possess his weaknesses, this dinodocs is in reality one of the most respectfull and accurate representation of prehistoric setting with Planet Dinosaurs (of 2011 too) in term of scientific discoveries about dinos and others non dinocs creatures ! I recommend higtly everyone who can to watch this short but interesting dinodoc !
    For me, I will give a A or B (since this tier list focus on the representation of dinos and not about the possible comedic use the producers can made with).
    But for the ones who dont want watching goofy situation, there a second version called "Dinotasia" release in 2012 and who is a 80 minutes movie, a compilation of the best and most serious scenes of the serie, without commentary or intervention by scientists, with Werner Herzog as narrator (still good too). So yes, this version is good too, even better !

That said, your observations are pretty on point that has allowed me to find more enjoyment on Dinosaur Revolution, so good job there Red! :D

    I find that the goofiness is basically just an irritating element, I would prefer it not to be there, but it's not going to stop me from enjoying a genuinely fantastic series. And this is a fantastic series. Along with Prehistoric Park, Planet Dinosaur, The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs, and, of course, Walking With, this is easily one of my favourite paleo docs.
    Also, as much as the design of the male T. rex is super edgy, I can't help but un-ironically love it.

    In reference to 12:50, it bears repeating that not everyone agrees w/Troodon being invalid (E.g. From Varricchio et al. 2018: "Given that [Stenonychosaurus inequalis] had already been synonymized into the senior T. formosus36 and remained unused for 30 years, Troodon formosus remains the proper name for this taxon, exclusive of L. mcmasterae, and we continue to use it here").

  • @johntoyama9862
    @johntoyama9862 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Well, the show was originally was going to be an loose adaptation of a comic series titled "age of reptiles" but discovery channel rejected the idea because they wanted a new "Walking with dinosaurs" (however, they misunderstood that the show was much more that a clone of wwd). So some of the story lines got scrapped but they kept'd the mixed genre tone the show had because the creators wanted to be it's own thing rather being an goofy rip off. And the anthropomorphic dinosaurs maybe a mix bag, but that's the documentary's identity and it work's in it's favor because the writers were able to tell an good narratives that are character-driven base(for example the watering hole had a zero to hero story about broken jaw from young impulsive theropod to adult that uses patients that is an emotional, funny and relatable. And there's nice contrast between broken jaw and the torvosaurus that the torvsaurus is shown to an walking killing machine that doesn't plan ahead and use brute force to get what he want's and broken jaw use's stealth, element of surprise, and has help for he's rival turned allie) sometimes the events in the show weren't that realistic . Back to the show, if the show was an live action series about dinosaurs on cartoon network instead of an documentary the show wouldn't hadn't to be universally hated. And if an another documentary like walking with dinosaurs or march of the dinosaurs did an similar mixed genre style tone it wouldn't have worked and it just wouldn't be an good fit.

    I totally understand that anthropomorphising the animals was very over the top and inaccurate, but at the same time that's why I love them. I watched this show when I was way younger, so their demeanor made me love them because I could sympathize and understand their actions, especially in the Allosaurus episode. That's probably one of my favorite dinosaur things ever just because of that.

    As my second favorite dinosaur documentary (after planet dinosaur by bbc) dinosaur revolution is an unfortunately overlooked by other Dino documentaries. This review does it nothing short of justice. I recently read the 3 tyrannosaurus article. I found it interesting but I will only truly believe this theory once more more proof is revealed.
    Ps: good luck finding anything wrong with planet dinosaur other than the fact the dinosaurs fenestra are visible and the “troodon” is under-feathered and the spino is bipedal. Oh and the microraptor is brown in colour instead of black. Besides that, good luck! Also, your videos are so good.

    I really liked dinosaur revolutions forit's designs but also that they used some dinosaurs that are lesser known dinosaurs like sinraptor and rahonavis and of course that they gave the coelurosaurians feathers ( except ornitholestes don't know why). But what was weird is that they gave the animals in the show human-like emotions which is not how a reptile or a bird-like animal would have acted.

    One possible support for Nanotyrannus is the brain case being pretty different from an adult Tyrannosaur but I think that can be somewhat disproved by the idea that tyrannosaurs filled different niches as they aged hopping from small predator to medium predator to apex so their brain might have changed to adapt.
