Collection Walking With Cavemen Allosaurus - A Walking with Dinosaurs Special see more Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Many people think of the dinosaurs as the first inhabitants of the earth, but this prequel to Walking With Dinosaurs puts viewers in the midst of a host of strange creatures that inhabited the earth millions of years before the dinosaurs ever existed. With the help of complex computer animation and the research of hundreds of paleontologists, the BBC presents an extremely realistic picture of the earth's earliest, most primitive aquatic inhabitants and chronicles their evolution to the precursors of man himself and the mighty dinosaurs. The first Walking With Monsters episode begins in the Cambrian period 530 million years ago, showcasing how a simple jellyfish-like sea creature evolved over 200 million years into new creatures with eyes and protective external and internal skeletal systems. These adaptations resulted in the world's first fish, arthropods, amphibians, and land-loving reptiles. The second episode details the giant insects of the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago and demonstrates how evolution empowered amphibians and reptiles by creating mechanisms to regulate their own body temperature and developing specialized teeth. The final episode begins in the late Permian period 250 million years ago when the earth was essentially one large desert full of volcanic activity. While much of earth's life was extinguished during this period, adaptation and evolution continued, bringing the development of a specialized hip in a tiny reptile called the Euparkeria that would prove to be the forerunner of mammals and evolve into the dinosaurs in the Triassic period. While some criticize this project as a somewhat overly dramatic presentation of speculative paleontology as fact, this program utilizes scientific inference to bring pre-history to life and highlight the amazing adaptations and evolution of the earth's earliest inhabitants. The bonus 'Trilogy of Life' feature details the research, vision and hard work inherent in the creation of the Walking With Monsters, Walking With Dinosaurs and Walking With Prehistoric Beasts.

Rating: - An awesome look at before the dinosaurs! I found this "walking with" to be very good, even in comparison to Dinosaurs and Beasts. I liked how they made it different from the others; such as showing the evolution from one era to the next and the insides of some of the animals. They also didn't make it as long as the others, but it was actually better having shorter. I found it easier to watch. There was one thing i didn't like about it and that was some of the effects. Although the cgi upclose seemed to work, the animatronics ... Read More Rating: - Best of the series Of all the Walking with Dinosaurs offshoots, this is by far the best one in terms of diversity of life and presentation style. The show clocks in at 90 minutes; 3 episodes of 30 minutes each. Each episode focuses on one time period; all of which occurred before the Jurassic rule of dinosaurs. The show features creatures as diverse as sea scorpions, giant millipedes, orthocones, unusual-looking sharks, predatory lobe-finned fish, huge dragonflies, primitive crocodiles, and the famous sailback reptiles ...

I didn't get a chance to see this series when it was released on regular cable, and had a chance to see parts of it a bit back, and I am very enthralled by this set. Overall, the creators/directors did a fantastic job expanding a part of Earth history that seems to be left out of many textbooks today (ok, at least when I was in school, not sure what the kiddies are doing now). Even years ago, alot of creatures presented here were just 'in theory', which has been long since debunked. The set covers ... Read More Rating: - Excellent Animation Even though I saw this on TV I loved it! I was getting tired because they aired so late at night, but when I saw that Giant Millipede was completely impressed. How they made the creatures was extremelly impressive especially when I saw that Giant Sea Scorpion under the sand. All in all it's a cool movie I completely agree that it's very educational.
