It's been 18 years and still no documentary being anywhere close to as good.

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD

No one likes the FOX WWD3D.
That thing deserves to be killed in fire.

I recently re-watched this series, and I agree, no other dinosaur documentary has made an impact on me like this one, even with it's innacuracies it's still beautifully made and awe inspiring. My favorite episode it's the Diplodocus one, specially the last scenes.

Uncalled for.

I for one liked that movie a lot, but I guess I didn't have high expectations.

It may sound shallow, but I place a lot on production value and visual impression, which WWD3D has in spades.

Additionally, it is still the most aesthetically accurate dinosaur documentary by a long shot. Even despite the incorrect ceratopsian feet, Quetzalcoatlus proportions, and naked tyrannosaurs.

Aesthetically accurate and incredibly well animated, but regardless, I agree with Flaffy Raptors (except that no one likes it, since obviously at least one person does). That movie irritated me beyond belief. It is the perfect example of why nature documentaries should not be retooled to make the animals more humanlike and "relatable" in the middle of production.

The problem is that that 'movie' could've been so much more if the silly FOX people didn't decide to jab in.
I believe the people who knew the history of the movie is just as disappointed as I am.
FOX WWD3D is the movie version of Spore. It was hyped up to be a scientifically accurate educational piece, and in the end, ended up like... that.

Remember those models that Krentz made it were made it in the same year as Dinosaur Revolution 2011. Probably some things werent state that year.

Greatest ever dinosaur documentary, beautifully produced and narrated by the great Kenneth Branagh. Sadly we will never see another documentary like it as it was apparently hugely expensive to produce with the exotic location shooting and the animatronics and I think we do deserve a series 2 WWD but knowing the current state of the BBC we will never get it.

I did love Planet Dinosaur though but there is something about WWD that elevates it, possibly nostalgia.

WWD 3D make my son cry when the daddy dinosaur died. I actually feel asleep watching it.

The original Walking with dinosaurs was ground breaking I have fond memories of the Ballad of big Al and watching it at Christmas!

My personal favourite episodes were Cruel Sea and Time of the Titans,the visuals in those episodes is something spectacular. Least favourite must be Death of a Dynasty, maybe because of the setting which I really did not like and the T-Rex design never amazed me but still watching these sure brings good old memories.

Even the other spin offs were great like Walking with Beasts and with Monsters and the chased by dinosaurs and sea monsters presented by Nigel Marven.

I have yet to watch the series in english, I only ever saw the dubbed version.

Usually I saw the dubbed version too.
But recently I found this and immediately I bought it:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EISNNYU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

DVD Boxset with the original WWD + The Ballad of Big Al + Land of Giants (featuring Nigel Marven) + The Giant Claw (featuring Nigel Marven).
All for 6,99£ ( 8,5USD ).
It definitively worths the price.
