I think RickRaptor105 described it best as "Talking with Dinosaurs"

[@CeratsTheCrunch]

Yeah he did

[@garrettdonovan8238]

Walking with Dinosaurs: the Bad Lip Reading

[@RickRaptor105]

It's the most obvious pun in the world

[@joshuaW5621]

So did that one comment on Animat’s review.

[@Rexog90]

Remember "Spirit"? In that movie, Spirit couldn't talk with other horses or the humans, but he narrated the story and explained his thoughts to the audience. They probably should have done that in Walking with Dinosaurs.

[@prehistoricchannel128]

Would have been a much better alternative

[@pierre-samuelroux9364]

A bit like dinoking..you know the tarbo in this i believe they tried something close as Spirit

[@evodolka]

Blast from the past, I remember this film

[@BrontoSmilodon1]

The second trailer made me believe that would be the case. And then the talking trailer came on.

[@jacobcox4565]

There's a version of this movie called the Cretaceous Cut, and they stripped all the dialogue and bad jokes out in favor of narration provided by Benedict Cumberbatch. They also trimmed a lot of scenes, so the Cretaceous Cut is only about 40 or so minutes long instead of over an hour long.

[@shadowmarauder6033]

Is this true? And if it is, can it be found on YT or streaming?

[@MarkTheDilophosaurus281]

Ok, enlighten me. Give me a reason why this movie is bad other than the talking

[@PestilentAllosaurus]

"I am not children." -Dino Guy 2024 Truly a quotation, must be said as many think dinosaurs or prehistoric animals can only be enjoyable by children. Despite the amount of science and knowledge it takes to understand them at any capacity.

[@toomuchtoastforbreakfast]

This was the movie I watched on repeat as a kid. Really brings back alot of memories.

[@memesimp3216]

I believe they actually are not just in Alaska. The beginning of the film is set further south in Canada, but as the film progresses, it goes to Alaska. That would explain the inclusion of Quetzalcoatlus, as fossils known from the area were recently re-described as a unique genus, Cryodrakon.

[@JurassicReptile]

We’ll probably never get something like Rite of Spring from Fantasia in a mainstream movie again which is a real shame because silent storytelling that only uses music and visuals is amazing.

[@garzapinups]

The way I dream of a dinosaur film where they’re designed like they were in that film as opposed to screen accuracy. Just to satisfy the part of my childhood where I believed real dinosaurs looked like that haha

[@JurassicReptile]

@@garzapinups that would be fun, retro dinosaurs do look really cool.

[@tylerfish2701]

At least we have Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal.

[@SleepySloth2705]

Luckily we got Primal

[@jwsaurusrex6673]

Don’t loose hope, we must somehow get a dinosaur film like Fantasia where there is NO talking dinosaurs

[@shadowmarauder6033]

The film should’ve been geared towards the older fans but with moments to help attract the attention of children, but without making it a knockoff of Disney’s Dinosaurs.

[@SpecklesTeeV]

This is one of my childhood fav movies ever! Ever since I was a little kid, I would act like the dinosaurs onscreen and I don’t mind the talking voices at all even though I am a dinosaur fan

[@ethoraptor9479]

Lol I did the same

[@Bropig2]

One of my favorite childhood movies.

[@YiQiSupremacist]

I loved this movie as a kid, the nostalgia is killing me

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

Regardless of how Fox legit ruin the movie, I still do love this movie regardless because of how breathaking it is and just its overall look And I hope you continue to make these reviews cause they're awesome. 😊

[@austinhinton3944]

What I always find funny about WWD the Movie is that back in the 90's Disney's Dinosaur was originally going to not have lip movement when the dinos talked, because the animators couldn't figure out how to do lip sync for dinosaurs. Eisner HATED that idea and said it was "a failure on the animators' part" . Fast forward to WWD the Movie, and not only did they give it some of the dumbest dialog you will ever hear, but they didn't even bother doing any lip sync so you have what's basically Dinosaur Homeward Bound

[@anthonybusch4407]

Are you kidding, IT WAS LIKE LITERALLY ONE OF THE BEST DINOSAUR MOVIES OF MY LIFE!!!!

[@MarkTheDilophosaurus281]

Words cannot describe how much I agree with you

[@sharkeyjude7042]

For your next many designs of video, could you do velociraptor/raptors?

[@tysdogvlogs6697]

We appreciate all your videos bro, keep going 💯💯❤️

[@Rainygirl3100]

The Cretaceous Cut, a version of the film without dino dialogue included in the DVD, and Benedict Cumberbatch's documentary voiceover for museum shows (posted here on youtube by the user Jokey Account) are the superior edits. I have a soft spot for this film (especially those alternate versions) since it cemented pachyrhinosaurus as one of my favorite ceratopsians

[@zacharythedinosaur6554]

I voted for Edmontosaurus!

[@KalugaOfficial]

Quetzalcoatlus was thought to have a massive range that might have gone up to where Alaska is today.

[@JurassicWorldBiology]

Great video! Didn’t release they did a documentary version of it. I need to seek that out…. Well if you ever feel in the mood to have a laugh and tear something apart I recommend “Dinosaur with Stephen Fry” You only need to watch it once if you make it through it all 😂

[@theatomicnerds]

It’s called the Cretaceous Cut! It’s here on KZbin somewhere.

[@JurassicWorldBiology]

@@theatomicnerds Thankyou! 😃

[@Ozraptor4]

@@theatomicnerds The shortened theatrical documentary version with Benedict Cumberbatch narration is called "Walking with dinosaurs Prehistoric planet 3d". The "Cretaceous Cut" is the uncut full-length film with voiceover track removed (the silly visual gags & Karl Urban scenes are still there).

[@gattycroc8073]

I've probably said this before but if you ever do a review of The Good Dinosaur please include Josh Cotton's redesign of Arlo as an Alamosaurus because that shows how the film could have looked a lot better even with the detailed background.

[@prehistoricchannel128]

I’ll keep that in mind!

With you talking about how good the last few Jurassic World Evolution 2 DLCs have been, I wonder what kind of of DLCs would you most like to see in the future? A Permian or Triassic species pack? Or a Cretaceous Herbivore pack after we just got the Cretaceous Predator pack?

[@AbelDuviant]

The worst thing about this movie is how much potential it squandered

[@MarkTheDilophosaurus281]

Give this movie a break, I enjoyed it so much

[@ethoraptor9479]

I think the fact that everybody wanted a movie from the series is taking away how good this movie actually is. Plus the overall message of every fossil telling it’s own story is amazing.

[@juanyusee8197]

The voiceovers alone turned an otherwise okay/decent movie to a nuisance to listen to.

[@TIMWReigo]

Where can I find the documentary version??? I can't find it anywhere!!!

[@ProcyonDei]

"I'm going to make the movie appeal to a younger audience..." - executive who knows absolutely nothing about the common folk, let alone children

[@siats142]

3:15 well yeah, but some tracks like River Attack is great for the Gorgosaurus, without dialogue, the Gorgosaurus stampede with that music on the background is so great

[@megazillasaurus]

I want the many interpretations of dryosaurus video next

[@velociraptor4you3291]

Some out there would argue that Disney’s _”Dinosaur”_ could’ve benefited from _not_ having its characters talk at all. _However…_ I would argue that in the case of that film alone, for what the directors ultimately wanted to go with, the dialogue was a _benefit_ to it… *NOT* in the case of “Walking with Dinosaurs (🦖)” here, where all the dialogue/voice acting feels like a studio-mandated afterthought. I _will_ agree that the CGI animation, designs, and environments are top-tier (👍).

[@DD-spino]

7:06 Actually, the movie animation strated working in 2011 and the pachyrhinosaurus perotorum article is from 2011, too. So I don't think the artist know what pachyrhinosaurus perotorum look like when they made their designs.

[@mikechirinos9817]

You mean March of the Dinosaurs? Because it was released in 2011

[@DD-spino]

@@mikechirinos9817 I mean Walking With Dinosaurs 2013. This movie strated working in 2011, but movie need 1~2 years to prepare the story and characters design. so it actually started production in 2010 and P. perotorum article is from 2011. It's why I guess they don't know P. perotorum look like when they finished characters design.

[@exiledhelljumper452]

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid and I still do. It's not great by any objective metric. The dialogue and story could have been great had the writing not been a secondary objective and they definitely should have given more indication that they actually were talking rather than being telepathic. But overall this movie just exudes that childlike wonder and amazement for dinosaurs that I just can't get enough of. And the music was great fight me.

[@ChargerusPrime]

You can change the settings on the DVD release and make have no dialog

[@mikechirinos9817]

6:13 Yes this movie is very accurate. Also, I'm starting to think the dinosaurs and the creatures from the movie (Walking with Dinosaurs 3D) and from these documentaries (Prehistoric Planet 1&2 and Life on Our Planet) looked very realistic and very accurate as I can see. And the movie "Walking with Dinosaurs 3D" it's not bad? But I don't hate it after all. Also I don't like the mean ones who hated this movie :(

[@user-H_m]

13:46 "Those additions where made primarily for children in mind- and I am not a children..." I like those really small jokes you throw in, like this goofy grammar,

[@garrettdonovan8238]

This movie reminded me of those “Bad Lip Reading” videos that were popular during the time it came out in.

[@lucasmcdougallawesomeman9494]

That’s one of my favourite Dinosaur movies is a masterpiece

[@kylevansteelandt3971]

I disagree. It's not that bad at all for many reasons for what it is: 1. It introduces different species of dinosaurs instead of featuring the same old ones that we all know, like the overrated t-Rex for example. 2. It's the only dinosaur movie that is more realistic in terms of the factual information for educational purposes, yet it depicts itself as a hybrid of mainstream entertainment and education which makes this movie unique. 3. It's silly humor is firmly tongue-in-cheek, and while not every comedic line hits the mark, most of it's humor is funny. 4. The voice acting dubs over the animals so the audience can understand how dinosaurs as well as other creatures/animals communicate with each other. It's been 10 years since this underrated gem came out (I saw it in theaters when I was 14 years old), and I actually still love this movie. 3.5/4 stars.

[@redwa11er]

I went and saw it in theatres with my wife. I... Did not know just how bad the talking was gonna be... If I even knew there was gonna be talking. But it was a miserable experience. Yeah the creature design and CGI was beautiful... But they also have a scene where the kid gets pooped on. Like... We almost left. Maybe I'll try and find the documentary version some time. I would LOVE to think about pachyrhinosaurus without thinking of that disaster of a movie.

[@Alf-gm7tf]

Gorgon: a single father trying to feed his kids Scowler: literally tries to murder his own brother Guess who’s the villain?

[@Klinker0913]

Its a decent watch for kids, but making them talking was unnecessary and does kinda bring it down in my opinion. The John Leguezamo bird got extremely annoying

[@JurassicFanBoy93]

Where could I find the documentary version?

[@prehistoricchannel128]

It should be somewhere on KZbin

[@mikechirinos9817]

Definitely not great cinema but I have nostalgia for it. And its designs are great

[@SilvrRazorFeather]

This is word for word my opinion also, I was pretty hype to watch it back when it came out but the cheesy voice over was just. Too distracting, really took it outta me. I didn't know they released a documentary version though, I need to go hunt that down!

I felt bad for you because since your favorite dinosaur was a pachyrhinosaurus since Jurassic Fight Club was depicted horribly, Disney's Dinosaur when the pachyrhinosaurus get taken down by a carnotaurus and now we have THIS movies.

[@carronade2456]

My gripe with this movie was the fact that it only focused on one time piriod. When I hear the title "Walking with Dinosaurs", I obviously think of the show, so I expected that they would show dinos from all of the mesozoic era. I have a similar gripe with Prehistoric Planet. Don't get me wrong, I love the show, but prehistory covers more than just the era of the dinosaurs. A more accurate name for the show would be "Cretaceous Planet" as that is the time period that the show focuses on. By the way, you inspired me to download Prehistoric Kingdom! Lastly, you should give the documovie "March of the Dinosaurs" a try. I really enjoyed it when I was younger.

[@goj1_lag00n]

It's easier to have different settings in a series than in a single movie.

The biggest sin of this movie outside of being barely watchable is having « Walking with dinosaurs » in its title. That I can’t forgive because even if you remove the whole dialog thing and other trash, it’s still a documentary who didn’t understood the source material. It’s not a WWD movie, it’s a shameless Disney’s Dinosaur ripoff. This one is by the way a 2000’ masterpiece. Not this 2013’ trash.

[@brockschannel3927]

Yes it's bad! I was expecting a feature length walking with dinosaurs episode and instead we got a Disney's Dinosaur knock off.

[@canonbehenna612]

The reasons I hate this movie? 1. Location: it set in Alaska during a Cretaceous ice age so it would much colder 2. The animation and design: the design look to unspecialize for polar habitats and the animation is so terrible (specially on their mouths) that the lion king 2019(which interesting the same maker work on prehistoric planet) more realistic 3.the humans: the humans are so bland and forgettable their should be not in the movie and I was wasted when I see them at the beginning So in short: if you meet someone who say the series is great 😊 But if you meet someone who say the movie is great😢

[@chadartist.9925]

The voice acting on the characters are just awful, That's what ruins this movie, The dinosaurs weren't even talking at all, Just some dumb voice overs like how people dubbed animals on those KZbin videos, Dinosaur designs are great but the film would been better without the childish dialogue

[@nightfuryman1209]

It’s a terrible Walking With Dinosaurs movie but it’s not a bad dinosaur movie….. it’s one of the better dinosaur movies, it’s not excellent but it was not terrible either it was just a mediocre, a bad walking with dinosaurs movie and a mediocre dinosaur movie I mean there are plenty of dinosaurs movies that are even worse than Walking with dinosaurs 2013, I mean look at “I am T.Rex” from 2023 that film is a lot worse than Walking with dinosaur 2013 in my opinion

[@shidanslair]

1:10 I think you shouldn't take the movie more serious than what it's trying to be, the movie works for what it is and the dialogue is part of it. This movie is not from my time so I don't have any nostalgia towards it, and still I rewatched it last year and It's pretty good, If someday I have kids I definitely see myself showing them this movie. Also, you said you love Disney's Dinosaur and actually for my that's the movie I found annoying as a kid. I've not watched it in many years, but I'm surprised you don't like the dialogue of this movie. Also, I'd rather have the dinosaurs talking without moving their lips as a human, because that would have felt too artificial for me.

[@MarkTheDilophosaurus281]

I have to give this movie the nickname, “The Movie That’s Hated For A Very Stupid Reason.”

[@mikechirinos9817]

It's not a very stupid reason!!!
