Imagine a National Geographic survey of a natural world that hasn't existed for millions of years. The sequel to the mesmerizing Walking with Dinosaurs, one of the most imaginative explorations of the prehistoric world ever made, once again uses the technology of the Jurassic Park fantasies to re-create the "menagerie of weird and wonderful creatures" that roamed the globe after the dinosaurs. Designed as a series of survival dramas, each of the six episodes plays like a speculative Disney True Life Adventure (with appropriately resolute narration by Kenneth Branagh) centered around a day in the life of a creature or the seasonal cycle of a species: a pride of saber tooth cats, a herd of woolly mammoths, a tribe of hominids. It's all supposition, of course, but it's supposition based on the best research available. The BBC production, which does not shy away from this violent world, includes computer-animated footage of mating and hunting techniques. However, any prehistory fan 7 or older should enjoy this series. --Sean Axmaker

Off the beaten track, random and interesting August 15, 2007
I have a strange fascination with mega fauna, the normally forgotten category of animals that came after the dinosaurs and before the rise of humans. Most people would know of the woolly mammoth, but not the giant sloth or the elephant bird. These animals catch my attention because of their resemblance to present day animals and their uniquely large size. I also love random facts, such as the speed of ketchup or how the sewer system was made in the US. This series marries my two loves and succeeds wildly.

This series captures the excitement of these random animals and time periods that aren't hugely popular like the dinosaurs. The each episode was a mini story, making it more interesting than a straight documentary. In addition, each episode touched on time periods, animals and facts you might never had thought about. Like huge carnivorous whales the size of a blue whale, or gigantic birds that looked like ostriches on steroids. I loved the new ideas that the series brought to my attention. Random and interesting. Off the beaten track. Just the way I like it.

Highly Entertaining! July 25, 2007
Good followup to all the dinosaur shows in this series! We greatly enjoyed it after the caveman fiasco (read previous reviews to know what I'm talking about). Good animation, animals look real, narration fits well with the visuals, my kids loved it & watched it more than once. The only complaint is that the human segmant at the end is kind of dumb and none of us liked it as much as the other segments.

the computer graphics make these animals from earths past come to life. many people are aware of dinosaurs and their history on this earth but what about other creatures? this dvd goes into that.

very good and suitable for both children and adults

Great series, now on high-rotate at our house along with Walking with Monsters and Walking with Dinosaurs. Now if the BBC could only produce Walking with Five-Year-Olds Who Can Pick Up Their Own Toys!

A DVD that is as entertaining as it is educational January 12, 2007

We have this as part of the Complete Walking With Dinosaurs Collection, which I would highly recommend as well. Kenneth Branagh's narration really adds to the show. Our family loves seeing the CGI renderings while learning about ancient creatures. The series is well organized and easy to follow, even our preschooler is enthralled and can follow each episode. I think the way the topics are presented really helps encourage an interest in science and a love of learning in both adults and children. I probably should say, it's a nature show - so there is what I would call "nature violence" - like prey being caught by a predator, but I personally don't find it objectionable.
