I don't really care much about the CGI ( I have a greater tolerance for this kinda stuff), it's just the back to back paleonotology scenes that are annoying. That being, I unironically like this T Rex design more than the Prehistoric Planet one. It looks robust without looking like a lardass.
I remember watching an episodic TV show about a dinosaur zoo created by going back in time through a portal to bring dinos into our time. Like Jurassic Park meets Stargate and it was on US tv in the early-mid 2000s. Not sure the channel or when it originally aired. The CG was good enough for child me to believe it could be real one day.
I also vagually remember watching some of the US version of Walking with the Dinosaurs. Just found out it was narrated by Avery Brooks(Sisko in Star Trek DS9). More vivid memories of the knock-off NatGeo short documentary Sea Monsters and tie-in Nintendo DS game:
The documentary is a mix between paleontologists talking about discoveries and a short narrative about a sea-dino to keep the kids entertained. The gameplay is like the first stage of Spore, but instead of eating to increase your creature's size you're searching for fossils to unlock new monsters.

I'm surprised it didn't get an 80s nostalgia reboot, even if it was just kiddie Netflix schlock. Which, to be fair, would be the right way to revive a kiddie toy commercial.
And yeah, I had one of the toys. It was a deinonychus.

Way back in the day, the models for the toys were used in the Smithsonian's gift shop (without the add-ons, duh) because they were that on-point for the science of the time.
I put this in the animation thread but it fits here too. Guy animated a fight highlighting each major phase of how dinosaurs have been depicted through history.

All I know is hearing Fortunate Sun accompanied by booming drumbeats while watching GIs fight dinosaurs awakens something in me.
We must reclaim dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. They've had a virtual monopoly on dinosaur movies for far too long and they haven't made a decent movie in decades.
I'm about a month and a half late with this but I just found out that Benjamin Bartlett (composer for Walking with Dinosaurs) passed away on April 19th due to lung cancer.
Unbelievably good RTS game about vikings, asians and africans fighting one another in an alternative world/universe where dinosaurs still exist while the british are trying to colonize said alternative universe using steam powered mechas.
Beautiful world, beautiful music, maximum dinosaur (and general paleozoology) autism. Has stuff like vikings mountining entire siege towers with gigantic ballistas ontop of triceratops to use them for sieging, beduins mounting entire war camps ontop of branchiosauri and mobile harbors pulled by mosasaurs, the chinese using pterodactyls as suicide units to carry explosives and bombard others, meanwhile the british are rolling up on gigantic wild wild west steam powered mechanical spiders trying to conquer everyone.
It also genuinely has a fun plot about alternative worlds with a lot of real life famous people making guest appearances as hero units working either for or against the british like James Darwin, Nicola Tesla, James Babbit, Ada Lovelace, etc etc.
Between all the units and all the wildlife on the maps there's gotta be at least 70 or so dinosaur and ancient animal species getting rep.
Also because dinosaur autism is that strong despite coming out 20 years ago the game still has an active modding community and multiplayer community with a fanmade expansion expansion that grows the game to an absurd degree.
The game also features a fully voice acted cinematic campaign with multiple really fun characters that takes you through about two dozen handcrafted maps in all biomes each one with unique objectives and mechanics and a genuinely fun story that to this day I've yet to see an RTS game with a campaign that had more effort put into it than paraworld's.
The devs also really cared about the details, each faction has 40 or so units and every single one has dozens of unique voicelines.
Still one of the best RTS games I've ever played period.
The fact that this game flopped is a true tragegy for both RTS and Dino lovers everywhere.
