A Dino Crisis !!!
Dinosaurs at Space-Books.net?
We've to admit: they've not
got too much to do with Space and Astronomy
(except for the "big bang" asteroid destroying them).
However, I like these creatures and moreover, this page is dedicated
to my little son who loves them ever so much...

Walking with Dinosaurs. 
Walking with Dinosaurs: The famous Movie.
by Tim Haines
Dinosaurs may be extinct, but they still rule the world. When the first episode
of the six-part BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs originally aired, an estimated
one out of every four Britons tuned in. What they witnessed was dinosaurs brought
to life, not in the modern world as in Jurassic Park, but in their original
habitats millions of years ago. Revived using computer-generated effects that cost
close to $5 million and sophisticated animatronic models, the dinosaurs look barely
a day over 150 million years old. The creators present the series in classic
nature-documentary style, complete with an authoritative narrator (Kenneth Branagh)
to guide the viewer through the footage of dinosaurs mating, fighting, raising
their young, grazing, or, in the case of carnivores, hunting. Each episode focuses
on a theme, whether it is a particular era, such as the Mesozoic, or a particular
type of dinosaur, like those that ruled the oceans. Each part also focuses in on
the life of an individual dinosaur or family of dinosaurs. The result is a series
of short dramas that both inform and entertain.
The show is so absolutely realistic that you will take it as if it's been a today's
nature documentary.
With this documentation a milestone in absolutely perfect computer animation
was given and the spectators, "real" dinos, came alive on millions of TV
screens all over the planet. If you missed it, you've really missed something!

Walking with Dinosaurs Special:
Allosaurus. 
A Walking with Dinosaurs Special: The live and
death of "Big Al" Movie.
by Tim Haines
The phenomenal BBC series "Walking with Dinosaurs" spawned this
30-minute special. Using the same blend of computer animation, puppetry, and
story-driven narration (by Kenneth Branagh), "Allosaurus: A Walking with
Dinosaurs Special" centers on one particular dinosaur dubbed Big Al. Found in
Wyoming in the 1980s, Big Al's fossil remains comprise the most complete allosaur
skeleton ever found. Enough clues are found in the bones, 145 million years after
his death, to tell the story of what might have happened from his birth to his
death. The film's naturalistic approach again is quite spectacular, with chills (a
bog turns out to be a big dinosaur threat), thrills (allosaurs chase a group of
giant diplodocus), and humor (a baby allosaur seems to bump into the
"camera"). A half-hour companion program, "Big Al Uncovered,"
illustrates how the "what-if" story of Big Al was constructed using facts
uncovered by paleontologists, including the 17 injuries found in the skeleton. Top
movie, with absolutely realistic animations (realistic enough, you won't notice
them).
