Dinosaur animated series and documentaries (something special for all us dinosaur/prehistory enthusiasts)

[Nederbeest]

Although not Prehistoric Kingdom related (although it is dinosaur related awesomeness), I still want to share something special with you all.

Animator David James Armsby (YouTube channel Dead Sound and creator of the animation short "Sharp Teeth") has created a new series of animated shorts featuring dinosaur goodness. Check it out, it's absolutely stunning to see what this man has done on his own.

And the first episode "Old Buck" starring an old battlescared Styracosaurus. Visual story telling at its finest.

And here's the original short "Sharp Teeth" which started it and planted the idea of a series in the creators mind all the way back.

EDIT 2022-04-03: Seeing as the scope of this thread is slowly changing into a loveletter to all kinds of (quality) paleomedia and animation I've changed the title slightly.

Also bumping this up a little simply because it's amazing. Yes, we ARE getting a big budget Hollywood level CGI spiritual Walking With Dinosaurs successor slated to be released on May the 23th. Check it out it's glorious:

Little late now, but this series is really reminiscent of Primal

Aha... You beat me to it XD

I noticed it was released yesterday. Good stuff. It's been awhile since we had some good quality dinosaur animated stuff. This new episode is even better then the last one. Simple but great visual storytelling once again. Love the focus on the daily life and drama of dinosaurs.

Primal is also a great series. Love the dynamic between Spear and Fang.

And because what you posted last time was just the teaser, and not the actual film, I have 2 on the board now.

[Nederbeest]

It's a competition now? XD

[Nederbeest]

To be honest, it's kinda the weaker of the three in my opinion. Still a nice animated short though.

It always was, every since this happened:

Oh and only the full videos count, not the teasers. I didn't realize that last month.

After seeing it, I thought that maybe the dinosaurs were anthropomorphized a little too much here, but after seeing the end I'm not exactly sure any more.

Here's another teaser for the upcoming fourth short called "Sea and Sky".

I do love the brooding atmosphere. Good stuff. Public release is planned on February 9th.

And the full short starring an absolute Chad of a Geosternbergia.

Meaning the score is now 2-2 my dear SBA77. :P

Episode 5 will thus be the sudden death.
