Walking with Dinosaurs

You may have heard of the spectacular BBC documentaries Walking With Dinosaurs", and it's sequels "Walking with Prehistoric Beasts", and "Allosaurus"; these are considered by many to be landmark achievements in documentary filmmaking.  They are the closest we can get to prehistoric nature without the aid of cloning.  Almost every aspect of the extinct animals' lives are under scrutiny her, from food habits to mating rituals.  The animation and animatronics are flawless, and the soundtrack and sound design are also above par.  

What really makes this documentary different from all others which have been made on the subject of prehistoric life is its similarity to documentaries about living creatures.  Not content with showing us the same old T-Rex versus Triceratops battle, or grazing Brontosaur images of the past, Director Tim Haines treats his subjects like a a documentary filmmaker secretly following animals in their natural habitats.
