If you ever visit Northern California's redwood forests, it really does have the same effect of almost turning into night the deeper you go in that you see in Prehistoric Beast.

Yes, and as I'm sure you know (but not everyone in the comments section will) the plants of our redwood forests are not that different from the forests of that era. Plant nerd time! 🪴🤓 Gymnosperms (conifers) were dominant in that time period compared to flowering plants (angiosperms), along with Polypodiophytes (ferns) which live in the wetter areas of the woods, and the last surviving Equisetum genus (horsetails). Of course, they have changed over time, much like today's Coelacanths are descendants of the ones fossilized millions of years ago, but if you want to get an idea of what plants looked like in the Cretaceous, heading more than a mile or so into one of these areas (where less human trash and angiosperms are) will give you a pretty good clue.

Actually, something like that almost happened. Tim Burton would have directed Dinosaurs Attack - a gory 1980s science fiction horror trading card series about dinosaurs accidentally sent into the present and going on a murderous rampage and eating people. However, with the release of Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg, the project was canceled, and instead, he turned his focus to Topp's other science fiction horror card series, Mars Attack. ☠️🦕🫀🦖

As someone who loves animation as an art form, I really appreciate the feeling of texture and "squishiness" of Tibbet's work. Stop motion is almost always used in more expressive animation styles now, emulating the ever iconic "Nightmare Before Christmas," but it was once the standard for great vfx. The way that the teeth on the T-Rex glimmer with saliva or the redness of the flesh and blood as it eats its prey just can't be matched with current CGI. There's a disturbing quality to old practical effects like this because they make us remember that we are also flesh bags with wet bones in our face, and there were plenty of animals that made their snacks of us not that long ago. Good chills!

I forget if it was When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth or another movie, but there's a bit involving a plesiosaur fighting cavemen on a beach where they put a lot of effort into projecting the light from flickering camp/wild fires in the scene on the model. It makes an effect that's obviously a special effect pop out like the actors on-screen.

I distinctly remember recognizing both the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Monoclonius (later Centrosaurus) from Really Wild Animals from National Geographic, but never realized they actually used footage from both this and later on footage from Dinosaur that was hosted by the late Christopher Reeve. It amazes me to think that the stop motion for both dinosaurs has aged timelessly after nearly 40 years of the original release of Prehistoric Beast. And oh man, as someone who’s been watching Prehistoric Beast time and time again on KZbin, I’m really happy to see you cover this on right here on KZbin. 💖💙

I was first introduced to this short through an audio-edited snippet of the Rex/Mono fight included in Eyewitness' Dinosaur. If you haven't seen it just look up the program online it should be about 14:00 in. I bring this up because that scene nearly traumatized me as a kid, and as an adult I finally see why. Before the segment starts, you're viewing the dentition of carnovious dinosaurs, as the narrator talks about how they would be used to remove meat from bone. All the while a heavy, heartbeat-esque breathing is heard in the background, slowly building tension. Then, we shift to the Monoclonius before the carcass, as the T-Rex sneaks around in the distance. The narration fades out, the breathing gets louder, accompanied by only bird song and crickets. Then before you can fully grasp what's going on, the quiet is suddenly pierced by the sounds of the terrifying roar of a killer and the terrified roar of its victim. You can feel the murderous intent of the T-Rex and the sheer terror of the Monoclonius through nothing else but sound. And as soon as it began, the T-Rex audibly bites down, causing an horrifying sound from the herbivore that can only be described as a scream of unimaginable pain. The rest of the scene is then nothing but the Rex's muffled breathy growls as its mouth continues to clamp down on the Monoclonius' back, the pounding steps from their massive bodies shuffling as these two forces fight to survive, and the occasional sounds of the Monoclonius making small hits on its attacker. But then, the audible puncture of the Rex's leg causes it to roar again, but not in pain or distress. Somehow, you understand that there is nothing but anger and contempt in that roar, and as it fades into the breathy growls, you can tell, even though the scene ends, that that Monoclonius is not only a dead man walking, but will be viciously ripped apart without mercy in a twisted sense of naturalistic torture. After watching the original short film this scene came from so many years later, it surprised me why it didn't seem as disturbing as it did in Eyewitness. While the original scene is terrifying in its own right, and Phil Thippet and his team did an amazing job, I think I know why this scene is so scary. The redubbed sound design here doesn't have that more Fantasia-y, synth style ambience the original does, and its sound effects are much more visceral and are designed to bring out an emotional response. The roars and growls tug on your sympathy to place you, however briefly, into the minds of these giants, and you start to understand the biological fear that a predator puts into its prey. It's a masterpiece of horror cinematography, and I can only thank the Eyewitness team for managing to not only include one of the most amazing dinosaur short film of all time, but to raise it up in a way as a true show of cinematic achievement.

This is the short I will recommend to people who say they don't like stop motion, or feel it's outdated. Spielberg should allow Tippett to do a cut of Jurassic Park with the stop motion replacing the CGI so fans can see what could have been possible. Also worth mentioning is how Phil achieved his dynamic shots and smooth animation. He called it Go Motion, and the techniques had been done by other stop motion artists, but they were simple as lightly applying Vaseline on the camera to great the blur effect, or putting the subject out of focus on the camera. Today, it can be done with editing, but I think more people like to see the choppy animation of stop motion to appreciate it.

Just the Mesozoic being a completely alien world and the dinosaurs are just being dinosaurs. Kinda makes me sad that Jurassic Park didn't use these techniques. But, oh well.

( like the human skeleton , animals etc ) and so of course i had the dinosaur one and the fight scene of the rex and monoclonius and i think some other shots were in it and tbh i had no idea it was coming from such a talented person as him ! Althou i have no idea how the episode from this french doc series was able to get the shots from prehistoric beast still , unfortunatly i cant find the episode anywhere so i guess when ill get this dvd back i will be able to revive my childhood memoriee , and yes as a kid this scene was scaring me alot back then to the point that i kinda skipped this scene when i dint had the courage to watch it again xD

I didn't see the Prehistoric Beast short on its own the first time I saw that stop-motion footage. When I saw it, it was part of the Dinosaur! documentary hosted by the late great Christopher Reeve. So my initial impression was that that footage was made specifically FOR that documentary. It wasn't until the Dino-Mania episode of the show Movie Magic that I learned they were originally two separate projects. In the documentary version, the footage of the actual fight is cut down in length, but that actually works in its favor, because the music used in the documentary version is FAR more intense and dramatic than in the original short. It's honestly the kind of music you'd expect to hear in a horror film!

I love the amazing paleo accurate dinosaurs designs we’ve had in the last couple of years, but man, seeing these retro designs and the way these animals were portrayed back then makes me very happy. Along with the accurate designs though a lot of dinosaur media seems to dial back on portraying these animals in a way that lets people see how terrifying it would be to live during the Mesozoic. I like recent documentaries breaking bad dinosaurs tropes but at the same time would like to see more media to giving insight on how dangerous these animals could have been. After all, we live amongst a fair share of scary animals today. The way the T-Rex portrayed in the film was chilling but simultaneously not portrayed in an over the top movie monstrous way. Just something I appreciate from this short and would love to see more of.

Also, fun fact: the Monoclonius in the film inspired a color scheme variant for the juvenile Centrosaurus (which Monoclonius was revealed to be an individual of) in the Beasts of the Mesozoic dinosaur action figure toy line by veteran toy designer David Silva of Creative Beast Studio, who's done work for Hasbro, NECA and McFarlane Toys.

A curious feature of stop motion is that it adds a slightly disturbing effect to animated creatures, being movements that are more rigid and less fluid than real ones. In fact, the creatures that are best animated with stop motion, in my opinion, are automatons and statues (see Talos from Jason and the Argonauts, or Kali from The golden voyage of Sinbad). The at-sts in Return of the Jedi have always seemed fluid and natural to me, and I was amazed when, as a boy, I discovered the technique used to animate them. It never ceases to amaze me that there are still stop motion film projects, what would seem to be an archaic animation technique compared to CGI, or rather a lot of the fake CGI we've seen in the last 20 years, and especially in the last 10.

I would call it less a film and more a vignette. It’s a moment in time that gives everyone what they came for. There isn’t much beyond what we see nor beyond what we’d expect from dinosaurs. Its entire strength is in the idea that we all know the work put in behind its presentation.

The stop motion in this short reminds me of the movie Mad God, which is a VERY heavy movie I don't recommend to everyone but comparison to its stop motion is always a compliment Edit: Tippet made Mad God too, which explains it XD

My favourite addition to the meme is the person who said that all the dinosaurs were hitting their marks just fine (it's called ACTING) and therefore Phil did a brilliant job.

In the 90's the Natural history museum in Sweden let you play the Microsoft dinosaur game for free. I remember watching it there so I guess in the end it got to be shown in a museum for kids in the end.
