Does anyone here know more about this documentary? Is anyone even involved? To me this sounds highly interesting.

The Prehistoric Times did an article or two on this documentary a couple of issues ago; it's a father & son project which grew from a personal endeavor into a full-fledge feature. Naturally, it hit some delays due to events in 2020, so I don't think it's acutally quite finished yet
I had almost forgotten about it, so thanks for the reminder! I'll have to look it up and keep an eye out.

EDIT:
They have their own website at https://www.whydinosaurs.com/! It looks like the film was scheduled for (limited?) release on June 20. They have an Indiegogo page, where it looks like certain-tier backers are/were given a preview of the finished film. I can't tell if they've actually released it yet, though.

It seems they are ready to release this movie! Today a new trailer was published. I am really looking forward to seeing this docuentary! Should be right up our alleys ^-^

I've been wondering about the state of this documentary on and off for the last couple of years. Glad to see it's moving forward! Very much looking forward to it.

I see that I was the last one to post in this thread...almost two years ago. I swear I saw a trailer for Why Dinosaurs? last summer and it was being shown as festivals. Whatever happened to it? Will we ever get to see it?

The website has some info. The film is still touring various museums at the moment but is "coming to PBS and streaming in 2025".

That's good news! I've been eagerly waiting for it since this thread started...in 2021!  :-[

Still have not had the possibility to watch this movie, although I am very excited about it. Does anyone have an idea how and where to watch it in Germany?
