Fascinating series
A CGI reconstruction of the things that lived before the dinosaurs. They are even weirder than the dinosaurs! I love the big lumbering things that are half way between a lizard and a cow. The standard of CGI is top notch and the models are incredibly realistic. This is what the BBC does best.

Still good in 2018!
Bought this on realease years back - but when my eldest children were toddlers they did a number on it ;)Re-bought in 2018 with my, now youngest (3 year old) in mind, and he's in love already (the 11 year old also ingrossed too)Yes, it's dated, and artistic liberties taken and educated guesses made, but it's still fun.Along with the silken tones of Kenneth Branangh, this is a definite favourite in our house!

Children love this
My boys aged 5 and 6 love this series. We bought this one after buying and viewing Walking with Dinosaurs which was also a hit in our house. Full of information and nicely narrated by Kenneth Branagh. My 6 year old especially has learnt loads from this! (5 year old watches it too but not quite so intrigued so perhaps he a little young, just wants to watch what his brother is watching!) Recommended especially for 6+

Buy it
Brilliant. Bought this for my 5 year old son who absolutely loves this dvd. He has watched it countless times now and has not gotton bored yet. There are a couple of scenes were young or sensitive children might get upset such as meat eaters attacking and killing plant eaters but on the whole its very educational and you will not get bored watching it again and again ......

Amazing Ancient Animals
This DVD fills in the blank of what is not really covered in schools about ancient animals. See the amazing ancestors of today’s animals and how modern animals have changed in size, etc prehistoric birds were 6 feet tall, prehistoric horses were the size of cats, fascinating info About the story of life on earth

8 year old likes it
We have been watching dinosaur/prehistoric animals/sharks shows for 4 years now. These DVDs are pretty decent, certainly good enough for young enthusiasts.

Molto buono
Uno degli starordinari documentari della BBC relativi alla vita preistorica, dopo Walking with dinosaurs e altri; sia questo che Walking with dinosaurs sono andati in onda sulla RAI (con commento in Italiano) più di una decina di anni fa e allora costituirono una novità di grandissimo interesse. Oggi sono ancora godibilissimi e anche se le animazioni non sono così perfette come nei documentari di ultimissima generazione sono ancora di grandissima qualità. Forse questo documentario è il meno noto tra quelli prodotti dalla BBC perché tratta di creature meno spettacolari di dinosauri e rettili preistorici, ma non per questo è meno interessante. Ripercorre il cammino dell'evoluzione dopo la scomparsa dei dinosauri, dai mammiferi più primitivi che sopravvissero alla grande estinzione della fine del Mesozoico fino alla comparsa dell'uomo. Tutto il documentario, che si divide in sei puntate, è fatto di ottime animazioni (niente interviste a scienziati o cose del genere), accompagnate da un interessante commento audio. Godibile da tutti (adulti e bambini) che siano interessati all'argomento. Unico neo: non esiste una versione in Italiano per cui è fruibile solo da chi abbia una certa padronanza dell'Inglese (non spaventatevi però, si tratta di un Inglese parlato chiaramente e di facile comprensione). Molto Buono. Costituisce il seguito naturale della serie di documentari Walking with dinosaurs (anche questo disponibile solo in Inglese) e L'impero dei mostri (questo disponibile nella versione in Italiano, bellissimo anche questo).
