Based on the popular BBC television series, Walking with Dinosaurs promises “fifteen roaring, snarling “live” dinosaurs [that will] mesmerize the audience and are as awe-inspiring as when they first walked the earth.” Watch as old favorites, some with new names (Remember our long-necked Brontosaurus? Remember when Pluto was a planet and the Earth was flat?), show a 200 million year evolutionary process is under two hours: the necessary time crunch being another result of our lizard brains’ dwindling capacities for prolonged concentration.
