Phil Tippet's Prehistoric Beast and Dinosaur! - Super Cut edition

[@billwill7383]

This for me as a kid. This was my walking with dinosaurs.

[@jessquinn6106]

Same here. We have come a long way since, in a short time. But for me, Stop Motion animation is still king.

I was just the right age for both. I was born in 1989, and my dad worked for Microsoft. We had a copy of the Microsoft interactive game “Microsoft Dinosaurs”, which I played incessantly. That game included an edited version of Tippett’s “Prehistoric Beast”. Later, in 1993 I convinced my parents to let me see “Jurassic Park” in theaters at the age of 4, and then “Walking with Dinosaurs” came out in the US when I was 10 or 11. I wish I could recall exactly what network I watched it on, because when I saw it I saw the UK version with Kenneth Branagh’s narration and the six-part format, so I think it was likely BBC America, and possibly in 1999 when it aired in the UK. I watched every episode live as it aired. It is perhaps no surprise I’m still a complete dinosaur nut.

While the designs are outdated by todays standards and recent studies, it was absolutely fantastic and accurate for the time. It still holds a place in the hearts of many paleontologists and dinosaur enthusiasts, this was before I was born (me was born in 2002). I remember first seeing it in 2008-2009 in the DK Eyewitness series in an episode known as Dinosaur. The stop motion and choreography was spectacular. I hope that sometime soon, Phil Tippett does a remake with more scientifically accurate animals. My favorite scene is when one of the hadrosaurs confronts the tyrannosaur to protect its mate and offspring which is surprisingly accurate for the time as recent studies have found that, yes, large hadrosaurs such as Edmontosaurus CAN fight back against large predators like Tyrannosaurus either by kicking, headbutting or tail smacking them.

@kaijura2003# fyi that Tyrannosaurus isn't the North American T-rex it's The Canadian Cousin Albertasaurus It was half the size of the American T-rex!

[@kaijuar2003]

@@jaredelizardo201 1) Canada is part of the continent North America. 2) No, this is NOT meant to be an Albertosaurus as this has a Monoclonius/Centrosaurus which ISN'T found in the fossil formation that Albertosaurus lived in. The ONLY tyrannosaurs that lived at the same fossil formation as Monoclonius/Centrosaurus were Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus. 3) Despite being one of the best pieces of paleo media, this still has some inaccuracies as it features a Tyrannosaurus which didn't live at the same time as Monoclonius/Centrosaurus or the same fossil formation as the ceratopsian.

The amount of atmosphere in this is insane! Great shots and moody lighting is something I miss a lot from this era.

[@garryferrington811]

I was into dinosaurs, oh, a hundred years ago, I think. All my knowledge is way out of date. Now I'm seeing that they may have been feathered!

[@moisesking4726]

I remember this when I was a kids, it was good for it's time , and got me into dinosaurs same time I was into today's wild animals,wow this gives me flash backs!!!.

[@jg3000]

It's good by this time too.

[@ThePebble_20]

Thank you!!! I had this special on vhs. It was hosted by Christopher Reeve.

[@jessquinn6106]

Awesome to see the fottage they did not show in the Chris Reeves Dinosaur! special

[@gabethedinosaur95]

I remember Phil tippets prehistoric beasts and dinosaurs in eyewitness dinosaur vhs .

[@canonbehenna612]

There was supposed to be a full length version by Disney but Jurassic park had to step in and got it cancelled

[@Mammothsaber-4457]

That became the 2000 Dinosaur movie

[@Mac14329]

"Had to"?

[@li32150]

Funny enough, Jurassic Park was going to stop motion with Phil Tippett making test footage for the raptor in the kitchen scene. But when Spielberg saw a CGI t-rex, he chose that instead. He also told Phil that you're out of a job as a joke, but Phil took him seriously and started learning more about CGI, and due to his knowledge of dinosaurs he was brought on as a go between for the CGI team and dinosaur experts. Why is he credited as 'dinosaur expert' in credits 😂

[@Saiyanking72]

Ive never wanted to eat flowers in my life more than right now. The centrosarus makes it look sooooo good

[@bobbydigital8056]

Absolutely loved this as a kid. The Monoclonius was my shit. I love Centrosaurines.

[@zhuangsaur227]

A friend of mine owns a comic hobby store in Melbourne.... on occasion I visit and my friends collection of Dino Ryders reminds me of this clip 😢❤😊

[@Cavebot64]

DAME!! this make me old!

[@reubenguttenberg7405]

Centrosaurus was actually eating buttercups

[@floydharper1216]

Monoclonius

[@bobbydigital8056]

But it was a Centrosaurine.

[@wallace2286]

@@floydharper1216 ahh so centrosaurus

[@kaijuar2003]

​@@floydharper1216 Monoclonius is synonymous with Centrosaurus.

[@jaredelizardo201]

​@@kaijuar2003it used too be called the monoclonius but later as years went by we realized our mistake & started uesing it's actual name Centrosaurus# same for Brontosaurus which is actually called Apatosaurus

[@caidenjohnson7391]

I like how the opossum is like oh this place there no hadrosaurs so it’s mine now😁

[@Chewbaccafruit]

This was released in 1985, and the asteroid impact theory was published in 1980. I couldn't find anything confirming this, but this might be the first paleo-media to depict the asteroid as the cause of the extinction.

[@BlackCappedChickadee]

And the first hardosaurus and Tyrannosaurus fight!

[@SpreadingtheMuse]

Phil Tippet. Somehow I should have known.

Honestly, Struthiomimus got what he deserved. Lol

[@NickyHelp]

Can you reload this by removing the title, PowerDirector, off the screen in the far bottom left? But anyhow, that is very good. I love the video.

[@tonyantonellis9983]

I tried making a blender remake of this short film, I didn't finish it but I will do it again but with better style this time.

Good ol' Trachodon

[@snappycenter7863]

So how did the mammals survive when small dinosaurs didn't? They had the same food sources.

[@kamalprem511]

😮

[@dirtypms]

I have to ask. Is that a live opossum? The movements aren't like the stop motion of the dinosaurs

[@MartenFerret]

It was alive, but died in the 80s.

[@dirtypms]

@MartenFerret I was unsure whether to congratulate Tippett on his animation or the camera crew for directing the opossum

[@nicodraws5145]

why would it kill after finishing eating????

[@kylecollier7569]

Maybe the T-Rex hunted the Monoclonius a day or so after killing the juvenile Edmontosaurus. Despite it not showing a brief time skip.

[@jaredelizardo201]

​​@@kylecollier7569I doubt it that Mono was probably old & sick possibly going too die eny way so It did the Horned Dino a favor#quick death instead of slow and painful cuz I remember the people who made this say it was sick so yeah quick & easy death!

[@kylecollier7569]

@@jaredelizardo201 I didn't say the Monoclonius was sick or old. In fact whenever you look up the "plot" of this short online, it never mentions that.
