Diplodocus Herd - Walking with Dinosaurs: Ballad of Big Al - BBC

- 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.
This is a channel from BBC Studios who help fund new BBC programmes. Service information and feedback: www.bbcstudios.com/contact/co...

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?

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
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.
why is it that a 19-year-old documentary is still the best documentary about dinosaurs to this day. modern ones are either silly, over the top or look super fake. I don't get it.
Money. Or people being stupid.
I would LOVE a walking with dinosaurs with the new knowledge we have and new tech.
Roman R yea I want there to be of these it’s so good!
I forget what movie it was what is the name
Roman R yeah
DiscoGym like how the president suggested Americans deal with 9-11, “buy more of our shit, u will be happy :)”
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.
1:34 I love how the allosaurus runs right past the diplodocus then turns his head and says hi
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
@@user-nu5or1qy2q he MEANS the t-rex cant do that. poor carnotaurus has atom sized arms
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.
Oh look, another big part of my childhood. Big Al was always the coolest guy to me, and he really is the reason why I like Allosaurs so much.
Yeah, he was the best to me too!
Me too😀
Ikr
Spinosaurus is the best !!
Kevin Stefanov no the tyrannosaurus rex is
This scene, honestly, was one of the most memorable scenes in the entirety of the Walking With franchise imo.
I love this depiction of Allosaurus as being solitary animals, but occasionally mobbing together to take down larger prey, like Komodo Dragons, very accurate in today's standards.
Maybe. But it's believed they're pack hunters like wolves.
Ummmm, no it’s not
@@hamesfrank4542 There are other shows that shows Allosaurus are pack oriented. This show is inaccurate about them as solitary or being like Komodo dragon.
Not sure about Allosaurus but in the late cretaceous, Mapusaurus, Albertosaurus and even Utahraptor were certainly living in groups similar to todays wolves.
@@namastewrye952 sorry but YOUR WRONG.
Allosaurus just like many other dinosaurs, did not hunt in organized packs.
They don’t have the intelligence to form a hierarchy system like wolfs.
The only Dinosaurs can hunt in pack is probably Albertosaurus & the Tyrant Lizard himself.
& most tyrannosaurid.
I don’t know maybe I am wrong but. Allosaurus is more fitting being a solitary creature than a sociable creature.
When you're a Diplodocus migrating across the salt plains and you hear the dramatic orchestra music start playing...
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
2:10 the soundtrack still gives me chills
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.
This stampede is awesome, the way the Allosaurs move out of the way just in time when one of the Diplodocus is about to trample them, it's just so damn realistic and I love every second of it.
Someone else watching 2023?

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%
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
2:07 ........ GOD I LOVE THIS DOCUMENTARY SOOOO GOOOOOD. What a jam
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
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
I miss the show. Brings back too much memories.
oh the nostalgia, this is the best documentary ever, i wonder how can this CGI is better than now days CGI, bbc knows how to do a good documentary
I think it's the mix of anamatronics and CGI that sells it. More modern productions think they can just use CGI.
RRW maybe, do you think bbc is going to do something like this again ?
jailson machado They've made a couple of Dino documentaries, but as I said, most filmmakers are too reliant on CGI and think they can replace ALL practical effects with them. Using animatronics makes things like this look better, but it's just too expensive to go to real locations and build robots compared to CGI for people to do it.
RRW planet dino was bbc's, right ?
jailson machado I believe so, yes.
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
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.
the first time dinosaurs were recognised as normal animals like wolves, crocodiles, bisons and any other animal that lives today...it may have inaccuracies in the models but this documentary will stay in dinosaur media history forever and now im also happy with prehistoric planet that continued showing dinosaurs as real animals too....i hope this continues on with future documentaries
there needs to be another documentary like WWD, seriously i wish BBC or someone would go back the the Walking With formula for a doc series on dinosaurs, make them up to date with the most solid evidence of course, but just something like this series. Theres a reason this one is known as one of the, if not, the best prehistoric nature doc mini series ever made. All it takes is for a studio to want to put the same effort they did then to create something not only as great, but even greater then the original.

RexVsGaming agreed
That is, if they feather the raptors accordingly. 😂
RexVsGaming Have you watched walking with monsters ( before dinosaurs) and walking with beasts (after dinosaurs). Same format but done a couple years later with better effects in my opinion.
ថដ ឥឥឲឲឥឲឲ
Haven’t seen this clip in like 10 years, the soundtrack still was in my head, it’s that iconic!
The music in this fits in so well.
This is hands down one of the most beautifully orchestrated scenes in film ever. From the music to the cinematography and the pacing- it’s just great. Never gets old.
It would be awesome if they made an updated Walking with Dinosaurs. Updated graphics, updated information, etc. I would totally watch it!
1:56 oh my god, I remember that roar, it was awesome! I love walking with dinosaurs ever since I was little

Omg SAME I have loved dinosaurs since I was born
I like the Diplodocus, it is my favourite Dinosaur.
It is samething that I like Diplodocus he is my favourite Dinosaur ever
2:11 - 2:28 Beautiful music, and this is my favorite part of WWD . Best Dinosaurs movie ever :) Sure, very memorable.
What is that part of the music called, like there are riffs and then there is whatever that is and other stuff but what would that be called?
On godddd
Battlefield 1942 vibes
@@slim7406 it's a sequence on the follia bass, look it up ;)
Yeah WWD is so much better than Jurassic World and personally I like it more then Jurassic Park.
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.
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.
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
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.
Diplodocus and allosaurus are two awesome dinosaurs
I remember when I was sick as child and I was watching these series on VHS...unbelievable how fast is time running.
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.
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
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 was my childhood. My gosh it’s been so many years since I’ve seen this sequence. 😲
So inspiring, especially as a kid. That great music made it so much more immersive too. Also 2:11 has always been my favorite part.
This scene always manages to always bring me to tears. It has the best of an animal documentary and the best of an action movie. Bartlett’s score is perfect: it coveys perfectly the danger and horror of a gang of giant predators, effectively monsters, trying to subjugate a magnificent animal to kill and eat it, and at the same time shows sympathy for the struggle of the predators, dwarved by the colossal hervibores, giving praise to their boldness. It touches my heart every time.
very well put!
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.

@@Breexy4x omg wow
This is my favorite episode of Walking With Dinosaurs! The story is fascinating and tragic, the cgi and practical effects hold surprisingly well, and possibly Benjamin Bartlett’s best score I’ve heard to date, I’m surprised he’s not that well known! Walking with Dinosaurs has been one of my favorite shows of all time since I was 7, it’s been one that’s got me rewatching occasionally, and my first experience with Dinosaur Documentaries and nature documentaries! And I happily am glad to celebrate its 20th anniversary and hope it gets a special Blu-Ray treatment soon!
I see why this series was all the rage! It's awesome and so gorgeous!
An updated version of this is well overdue. Still absolutely brilliant though.
Oh the nostalgia hits hard. I've watches those documentaries as a kid in a german tv.
This is my entire childhood
This soundtrack is Godly
This is probably my favorite part of The Ballad of Big Al (my personal favorite WWD spin-off/special). Not only is it a fun, eye-pleasing action scene, but there's also insight into how Allosaurus might have hunted.
They need to do a Walking With Dinosaurs Special about Tristan Otto the T Rex.

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.
When I was three Walking with dinosaurs was still on BBC and this really does give nostalgia

oh the nostalgia i used to watch this when i was 4-5 years old

Back when this meta existed, it was so satisfying to gang up with other Allosaurus mains and take down the S tier sauropods like Diplodocus. It was always extremely risky as a single mistake could mean death but it was so satisfying. You had to coordinate perfectly or else you were jeopardizing your entire stock.
Whenever me and the crew carried out one of these hunts it was the only time you saw these sauropod players scared. By far among my favorite memories from the game of life.
GOAT COMMENT
I was a spino main,we may have been in different eras but i loved the spino,shame that the dinosaur update was cancelled
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!!!

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.
I grew up with this movie years ago and this was always my favorite scenes. The chase music makes it even better.
Why did the music make me want to cheer for the Allosaurus instead of the Diplodocus.
Because allosaurus is BA
poor poor dipy......:(
TorvosaurusImperator untill he comes head to head with a titanosaur
TorvosaurusImperator titanosaur was the biggest dinosaur that lived, they even called it the real-life godzilla.
Jeremy Smith was it larger than Argentinosaurus
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.
This documentary is interesting about an Allosaurus pack with Al hunting and separating the diplodocus herd
BBC please remaster with 4k graphics
Hocus pocus, Diplodocus
The predator's here, y'all take notice
1:46 I never thought Diplodocus could move that fast. I always thought they were just slow movers due to how big and heavy they are.
Well it's possible for them to walk fast Like the elephants.
Could also be an inaccurate representation. But given how massive these things were, I doubt they needed to be fast often.

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
Best scene ever in the walking with ... series , (best opening still is from episode 3 )
Walking with dinosaurs and prehistoric beats were absolutely brilliant. Thank you bbc
"brings the diplodocus to it's knees"

It's figurative.

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 😊
Despite this being made 19 years ago the animation for the dinosaurs holds up really well
I love the blur of the CGI Diplodocus, it adds a sort of realism to the whole nature documentary aesthetic of the original, like th dinosaurs are to active to have non-blurred images.
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
it was how thegamingbeaver died as puertasaurus, getting mobbed by allosaurus players.
this is the isle allosaurus in a nutshell
Diplodcus is my fav sauropod
I watched all these documentations when I was a kid. This is truthfully majestic work!
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.
If the meat tastes bland, they have plenty of salt around them
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.
1:24 “Allosaurus had never seen such bullshit before” 😂
And to this day they’ve never made a better dinosaur programme/documentary with this amount of effort again.
