Talking with Dinosaurs

There have been nine million movies and shows made with talking dinosaurs– from Barney to Dinosaur Train to Disney’s Dinosaur.  Walking with Dinosaurs stood as one of the great television series precisely because it didn’t make the dinosaurs into humans in suits.  It presented recreations of dinosaur life in the form of a pseudo-nature documentary.  It was great.  It was better than great.  I was happy when I heard they were bringing Walking with Dinosaurs to the big screen.  And guess what?  It’s now just another cartoon filled with sappy talking dinosaurs.  It’s sad.  It’s pathetic.  It’s been done.  I wanted to see Walking with Dinosaurs, not Talking with Dinosaurs.  I can find that already, in a thousand versions on Netflix– Land Before Time, Dinosaur Jr., Jim Henson’s Dinosaurs, Dinosaur King… need I go on?

    I have got to agree completely, it was good on the tv but to see the dinosaurs on the big screen would be fantastic.
