    Ahh, Dinosaur Planet. For all its quirks and questionable choices, it was still the series that first introduced me to feathered dinosaurs. I was confused when I first saw the cover art with Whitetip haha. I was like what is this, a Velociraptor crossed with Falkor? It was cool to learn something new that day. And of course, Slater's narration was positively... 45:58

    I feel like the scene of the plesiosaur eating pods sister could have been handled so much better, imagine his sister just gets pulled into the water without any plesiosaur or creature being shown and the narrator just states something like "it will come back when it gets hungry again, but until then pod is safe" refering to the creature

    The location in White Tip's Journey is easily the most representative of what the prehistoric location actually looked like. However, Pod's Travels easily has my favorite filming location, despite the grass present.

    I remember feeling like Dinosaur Planet was disappointing and "felt off" as a kid, and I think the anthropomorphism/Slater-isms are probably a reason as to why. I do think Pod's Travels was the episode that stuck with me the most though, it was the more interesting to me.

    What is it with paleo docs and dinosaurs constantly tripping/falling (often with grave injuries)? Such things undoubtedly happened but the way it's portrayed in such media makes it out to be that any dino is perpetually one step away from pratfalling into the ground and breaking a leg. It's ESPECIALLY prevalent in this series too

    I feel Little Das’s hunt didn’t know what it wanted to be, because I feel like they could’ve just done Alpha’s Egg’s plot showing the differences between Maiasaura and Daspletosaurus growing up. But for a more original plot, I feel you could’ve explored the differences between the north and southern parts of the formation, especially since there were two species of Tyrannosaurs living together.
    As for Christian Slater, ngl I don’t mind his narration too much (Outside of little Das’s hunt) but it’s probably because he also narrated the Prehistoric planet cut of Walking with Beasts (Which sadly is lost to time.) and from memory serves he did a better job with that than Ben Stiller with the Prehistoric Planet cut of Walking with Dinosaurs, yes that was a thing.

    What’s weird is that my DVD copy called the “Essential Dinosaur Pack” has them arranged as;
    White Tips Journey, Alpha’s Egg, Pod’s Travel, and Little Das’s Hunt.
    I wonder why they are all so drastically different in arrangement?
    Besides that I really enjoyed your video covering this classic documentary. I really wish they had made a second season since every episode covers the Campanian, which is a nice change of pace from the over represented Maastrichtian in dinosaur documentaries.

    This was my favorite dinosaur documentary growing up. It’s so interesting to look back and see how well some of it has aged and some of it hasn’t. But regardless it still serves as a fascinating time capsule into how much we knew about dinosaurs back in the early 2000’s and have taxa never depicted in media before seen on the small screen for people like seven year old me to find out about. Dinosaur Planet will always hold a special place in my heart.

    In regards to 1:38:12 - I'm not exactly sure, but that plesiosaur model may have been initially designed for Discovery Channel's Journey to the Center of the Earth documentary, animated by Meteor Studios, the same team behind Dinosaur Planet (as well as, coincidentally, Brendan Fraser's Journey to the Center of the Earth). The plesiosaur vs. ichthyosaur scene from Verne's novel was reenacted through animation and the plesiosaur there looks and acts exactly like this one, to the point of craning its neck above the waves. That documentary is on UA-cam but information about it is scarce and the exact release date of that documentary varies depending on the source. However, given that Meteor Studios closed around 2007/2008, Dinosaur Planet aired in late 2003, and some sources list Discovery's Journey also as 2003, it's seems plausible the two docs were produced concurrently, resulting in model recycling. As a side note, Meteor brought this model up one last time before their closure, in 2006's guilty pleasure Dino Lab.

    If you think Christian Slater’s narration was corny, wait until you see Prehistoric Planet. It was an edit of Walking with Dinosaurs (for the first season) and Walking with Beasts (in the second season) that aired on Discovery Kids. Ben Stiller narrated the first season and Christian Slater narrate the second season. Since season 2 hasn’t been recorded, I don’t remember exactly what Slater was like, but Stiller’s narration might be even goofier than what Slater says here.

    If I could remake the plesiosaur scene it would go something like this:
    We see the back of a marine reptile poking out of the water then the narrator tells us that it is a mosasaur and then it swims around the for a little bit then the camera cuts to the pyroraptors and then Pod's sister gets yoked in to the water by the mosasaur unseen, and then we see the mosasaur with Pod's sister clinched in its jaws as it turns and swim into the dark waters.

    This TV show, Walking with Dinosaurs, and a National Geographic Video documentary during the early 2000's had a certain scene(s) that gave me nightmares when I was a kid.
    Walking with Dinosaurs in the case of having a bright ghostly white Diplodocus charging at me with just black eye sockets contrasting with the ghostly white skin and skull of the animal.
    Dinosaur Planet in the case of the sounds of the baby Saltasaurus being picked off by predators echoing at the end of that sequence and the pyroclastic flow killing the dinosaurs in its way.
    Another one was National Geographic Video's Eternal Enemies: Lions and Hyenas with the scene involving a cobra coming across a lioness and her cubs. The cobra temporarily blinds the mother and kills all three or four cubs. At night, the blinded mother is pestered by some hyenas who then come across a dead cub to then start tearing it apart before retreating into the darkness.
    But now as an adult, I don't really have those fears anymore though I have yet to enjoy Eternal Enemies having only seen that one a few times despite owning it on Apple TV+.

    Actually elasmosaurs had surprisingly robust jaws and teeth in spite of having relatively small skulls, and given that pinnipeds (even those with zero macropredatory adaptations) can and do eat prey too large to swallow whole by simply dismantling them with brute force it’s pretty likely elasmosaurs could do the same

    Awesome review! The sacrifice was definitely worth it for your Slater-isms alone...although I will continue to challenge your perceptions of Little Das. Regarding the comment about predators as caring parents, I think I always interpreted it as referencing predatory dinosaurs/reptiles/lower vertebrates (do theropods still count as lower vertebrates given their avian lineages?). Mammalian predators like lions are associated with nurture, but crocodiles and komodo dragons not so much.

    • @speedracer2008

    White Tip's Journey and Little Das' Hunt were my favorites as a kid. I remember really wanting there to have been toys based on White Tip's Journey in particular.
    For some reason, I also remember Little Das' Hunt as the most dire and dramatic. I think seeing Buck slowly dying from infection, the Troodonts getting picked off one-by-one like a slasher film, and the general build up to eruption was enough to offset any comedic relief for me as a kid, and I was hooked.

Contrasted with Little Das’ Hunt which is like an MCU movie with jokes thrown in every five seconds

    My biggest problem with Alpha's Egg is the editing. There are a few moments where the episode sets up drama, only to not build up on it and cut to something else. For example, in the scene where Dragonfly follows Alpha, they could have Alpha put up a fight against Dragonfly's attempt to bring her down as she falls behind the herd in order to explain why Dragonfly didn't kill her, rather than just cutting to Dragonfly walking around after building up a fight between him and Alpha.

    I just realized they did something similar to Jurassic Fight Club, building a story around fossils/beds indicating a certain event. Only, here they just make up a story with what few hints they had, like, a most likely flooded nesting site, the fossil of a raptor and a protoceratops that got buried together, etc.
    In Jurassic Fight Club they worked almost like crime investigators and recreated what might most likely have happened and ind what order. Like, which dino involved got hurt/killed first and which survived.
    The most obvious inaccurancy(probably) is that T-Rex and Nanotyrannus are depicted as different species. As far as i am aware, there is evidence that Nanotyrannus is actually a juvenile T-Rex, but maybe that changed again. I'm really not on top of palaeontologic debates.
    However, i really like Jurassic Fight Club. Maybe you could make a review about that some time. That would be either a very long video or need to cut into several parts, bc it has around 14 or so episodes.

    Also, you forgot to mention the Saltasaurus' heads, which look quite hideous to me (since they look like skinned horse heads without ears or hair), and I doubt these are accurate, otherwise my favorite dinosaur (Diplodocus) would have had the similarly-hideous head like Saltasaurus. >_

I don't like how HodgePodge tries to hold this documentary up to the same standards and style of Walking With Dinosaurs and When Dinosaurs Roamed America, like as if that's what Dinosaur Planet was going for. It's not trying to be a true serious documentary and more of a dinosaur show with some education in it. So, the slight anthropomorphizism, slaterisms, and "childish" tone at times makes sense. Not every dinosaur documentary has to be as serious as Walking With Dinosaurs or When Dinosaurs Roamed America.

And then it has always been part of my childhood, so it seems right to leave it at least a space in my heart. Furthermore, I believe that it is among the few successful documentaries from an entertainment point of view, just look at Jurassic Fight Club or Monster Resurected, they were repetitive and also not very accurate.

    Ah one of the paleo classics of the early 2000s. Sure its flawed, be it narrartion, the intigration of the cgi with the background in some cases, or the slight human personality touches, and ofcourse dated science. But theres lots of things to like as well, the designs are memorable, the soundeffects while ones that are re used alot, are nulstagic, and ofcourse the music is fantastic. And well Doctor Scott is a delgiht.
    Personally I always had a soft spot for White Tip's Journey, something about the story, the fantastic music and the landscape just drew me in more than the other ones. Looking back Im quite fond of the way they show the Velociraptor pack dynamics, they seem fickle and very flexible. Which is fitting given that we know that the inner ear structure of Velociraptors is similar to gregarious birds. So they were likely social, but if they hunted in packs or not is up to interpertation.
    Even the fauna here check out, given that in terms of their stratigraphic time range, for the Nemegt,Djadochta, Brun Gayot, we have no direct knowledge of any of their age aside from been Campanian-Maastrichtian, and how all of them have a vertical (=time ) component and some likely preserve multiple sucessive environments, but are also lateral equivalents and likely existed at the same time
    Tho nothing is correlated currently, its all a bit of a mess and we just need more studies and methods to figure things out.

    This documentary I feel would act better as one of those gritty kids movies like Watership down. Then it could play into the anthropomorphism more

    Even granting that they probably didn't want to do another nest-centered episode for "Little Das' Hunt", they could have still said that the Maiasaura were on their way to nesting grounds, even without showing them, as an Easter egg for paleontology fans.

    They don't conflate djodchta and nemegt formation; to the same degree as so many programs do. I want to give them credit.

      True. As a kid, I used to think they missed an opportunity in not featuring Tarbosaurus in that episode of Dinosaur Planet, like Chased by Dinosaurs did. Now, I realize they dodged a bullet.

    I liked the standing in the field joke but then he made it not funny. Some of the jokes are ok imo. But some r lame.
    I dont like the colors of this dino doc.
    But i still like the documentary.
    Also id like to say the raptors in this series dont slash as much as they stab thier prey. But that isnt that much bettr

    Nice review, but I just feel so vindicated by you pointing out the obvious elephant sounds. It always annoyed me, since it’s so obviously an elephant… I don’t imagine a Daspletosaurus or any other large theropod when I hear it: I just picture an elephant. It really takes me out of the experience. Jurassic Park did a much better job of blending animal sounds together to make something distinct and new.
    … I’m sorry if this is a bit of a rant, I just have to express how much I dislike the use of obvious elephant trumpets for dinosaurs.
