Summary: Monumental product
Review: 1000 words cannot describe the incredible graphics and presentation quality of this series. I consider these stories, based on real science and a monumental effort, to change the way we have thought of the earth millions of years ago. The dinosaurs in Walking With Dinosaurs are very real, maybe too real for young viewers, but believable and memorable. This $60 purchase could be the best investment in DVDs that can be bought. I have watched select story lines from the collection over and over without disappointment. Hence the purchase keeps on giving unlike the rest of my DVD purchases.

Summary: Forget the fiction of "Jurassic Park"!
Review: Brilliant is an understatement to describe the best produced/animated "history" of the planet's prehistoric inhabitants. Vividly real creatures populate a landscape of constantly changing proportions.

And the makers of the series have even given the animals "personality" as they go about their daily struggles for survival in harsh and developing times.

This is a set for those that want their science informative and entertaining; in other words, a must-have for the student and the teacher.

Summary: Simply Fantastic - Beyond 5 Stars
Review: Everyone has summed it up, this is a good as it gets in the doco world. Pure, undiluted quality. Fantastic animation, production values, narration and all around a+ performance, many of the effects in this series would not look out of place in a feature film, indeed the guys at Framestore have gotten so good at doing this they beat ILM at their own game at times IMO.

However, it's not really the 'complete' Walking with Collection, there have been 5 new episodes since this was released in the form of the BBC's followup new 'Chased by Dinosaurs' series (known as special episodes of Walking with Dinosaurs in the UK though still). They covered big dinosaurs like Argentionsaurus and the Gigantosaurus and lots of sea creatures like the giant shark Megadolon. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Dinosaur Documentary!
Review: For anyone who enjoys learning new things or for those of you who enjoy watching documentaries, this is the one for you! The Walking with Dinosaurs series is the absolute best source for information on these extinct creatures. Using puppets & computer animation along with real settings and backgrounds, the filmmakers have made an awe-inspiring documentary. You almost forget that the dinosaurs aren't really there.
This is a must see for adults and children alike!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A little "pricey" but worth the money if you love dinosaurs!
Review: I bought this for my son's 4th birthday. I have an interest in archaeology/paleontology that seem's to have rubbed off on him. Over the past year he has viewed the entire 5 disc set a few times a month. It's great to pull out on a rainy/snowy days. The dvds help to reinforce scientific terminology and stimulate conversation. You just need to keep in perspective that it is an imagined story about about each of the species and subscribes to the current theory that dinosaurs were more closely related to birds than reptiles. The colors and sounds are vivid and hold your attention. Another nice feature is that if you have a multi-disc dvd player, all five will play in order. I think this is a nice family set that is not too scary or gory for even the little ones to enjoy. It was a big hit while it was playing at my son's dinosaur themed birthday party too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply GREAT DVD box
Review: I simply enjoyed each and every DVD out of the 5 DVDs.
It is a must have box set. I loved the part when BBC
production sensored the mating scene among primates. I can
watch the box set with my sons.

Summary: Simply Fantastic - Beyond 5 Stars
Review: I'm not really a big fan of buying DVDs for specials or films that have already been shown on TV> Why would I want to pay $60 for a DVD of a show that I saw for free on Discovery Chanel? However the shows shown on Discovery channel are the exception to my rule. And "Walking With Dinosaurs" is one of the best.

This special is worth every penny of the advertised price if you can't find it airing on TV anytime soon. For a TV special, the effects were some of the best I've seen on television. The combination of computer generated and animatronic dinosaurs looked incredible, and really give you the feeling that we were able to capture these creatures on video. The great thing about this special is that, unlike traditional documentaries, they used the scientific evidence they had found to create a story, as they did with "Allosaurus."

Overall, while I tihnk that maybe this DVD would be a little better value around $40, the specials are, without a doubt, the best nature specials I have ever seen.
