DVD Reviews of Ultimate Dinosaur Collection (Walking with Monsters / Walking with Dinosaurs / Allosaurs / Chased by Dinosaurs)
DVD Review: Dino-palooza!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If your little boy (or girl) is into dinosaurs, this DVD collection will not disappoint.
The segments "Walking with Monsters" and "Walking with Dinosaurs" (narrated by Kenneth Branagh) provide an informative overview of the evolution of life on earth preceding and through the reign of the dinosaurs. You feel like you are there with nice little touches like the creatures occasionally bumping into the camera.
The segments that comprise "Chased by Dinosaurs," hosted/narrated by Nigel Marven, are perhaps the most entertaining for children because it brings to life every dino-loving child's fantasy: to be a time-traveling paleontologist. Marven is just that, dropping himself into and exploring the world of the dinosaurs and their ancestors, with all the excitement and danger that one would expect suddenly being confronted with when roaming around in the time of such creatures. It is all played straight and it comes off as a real documentary--aside from the high improbability that anyone could actually survive any one of (let alone all) the close encounters Marvin has.
"Allosaurs" provides a glimpse into how today's paleontologist's use the information revealed by the fossils that are discovered to piece together possible scenarios about how the dinosaurs lived and eventually died.
All segments are expertly done and strike a fine balance between education and entertainment. My son loved every minute of the entire collection and his new greatest wish--after wishing that Pokemon were real--is to have the special map that Nigel Marven uses to travel back to the seven deadliest seas in the "Walking with" segment, "Sea Monsters."
In terms of what age this material is appropriate for...as one would expect in the age of the dinosaurs, they hunt, kill, and eat each other. Any such depictions in this collection are only meant to be an authentic representation of life during those time and I did not find any to be gratuitously violent or gruesome. But, just know that it does happen and parents buying this for children should consider this when trying to determine if their child is old or mature enough for such depictions. My son was 9 when we got this for him but he has been watching BBC documentaries such as "Blue Planet," "Planet Earth," and "Life" (all of which are great) since he was about 5 or 6.
