What do you get when you cross the Crocodile Hunter with the Jurassic Park trilogy? You get Chased by Dinosaurs, an awesomely entertaining BBC follow-up to the phenomenally successful Walking with Dinosaurs programs. Hosted by zoologist-adventurer Nigel Marven, this compilation of playfully exciting 30-minute programs is a time traveler's dream come true, presenting a feast of impressive prehistoric scenery as if it were readily accessible to any present-day camera crew. It's digital fakery at its finest, and Marven's infectious enthusiasm combines up-to-date research with wide-eyed intensity as he introduces us to a wide-ranging menagerie of long-extinct species, thriving in their native habitats and raging from 75 to 450 million years B.C. "Land of Giants" leaps back to the early Cretaceous period (100 million B.C.) to what is now Argentina, where Marven and his intrepid crew find Argentinosaurus, at over 100 feet long the largest dinosaur ever. Other marvels abound, including an Ultralight flight among a flock of Pteranodons, with wingspans up to 40 feet! "The Giant Claw" is a search for Therizinosaurus, an amazing herbivore (Mongolia, 75 million B.C.) with enormous 28-inch claws on 10-foot arms. The three-part "Sea Monsters" spans seven epochs to survey some of the most bizarre and terrifying creatures that ever swam the oceans, including sea scorpions, a multi-tentacled Giant Orthocone, and Megalodon, the ancient relative to Great White Sharks. And that's just a sampling: Many other amazing creatures are included among Marven's close encounters.
With each successive effort, the digital wizards at Framestore CFC (Europe's largest computer-animation company) rise to new heights of photorealism, interactive lighting effects, and biological authenticity. And while Marven's a fair educator and a robust adventurer, more science-minded viewers will appreciate the 50-minute bonus program "The Science of Giants," centering on the behavior of massive dinosaurs and the efforts of renowneds paleontologist Philip Currie to prove that "megacarnivores"--once thought to roam alone--actually hunted in packs. This is really amazing stuff, and the helpful "Fact Files" provide detailed profiles of every dinosaur and sea creature featured in these memorable programs. --Jeff Shannon
Product Description
You'll be on the edge of your seat when the creators of the groundbreaking Walking With... series send zoologist Nigel Marvin back in time to track down the owner of the Giant Claw. But as soon as his mission is accomplished, it's on to prehistoric South America, in Land of Giants, where Nigel witnesses the battle between history's largest predator and its even more gigantic prey. Finally, in Chased by Sea Monsters, our intrepid explorer dives into the world's most dangerous depths. In seven different seas in seven different eras, Nigel meets scary sea scorpions, terrifying giant squid, massive armored fish, and the vicious sixty-foot Mosasaur!

This copy of Chased by Dinosaurs includes the full two-part series, Land of Giants and the Giant Claw. This copy also includes the special, Chased by Sea Monsters, all featuring Nigel Marven as the documentary presenter. The other copy of Chased by Dinosaurs available on Amazon does not include Sea Monsters, so this is the one you want.

This copy of Chased by Dinosaurs includes the full two-part series, Land of Giants and the Giant Claw. This copy also includes the special, Chased by Sea Monsters, all featuring Nigel Marven as the documentary presenter. The other copy of Chased by Dinosaurs available on Amazon does not include Sea Monsters, so this is the one you want.
The DVD is split into five episodes, each taking on a different time in history. In "The Giant Claw", Nigel tries to track down the owner of a huge claw in Cretaceous Mongolia, and what he finds is nothing like what he expected. "Land of Giants" finds our host in Cretaceous Argentina, where he witnesses a true clash of titans. And in the three part "Sea Monsters", Nigel takes to the water to observe the worst the prehistoric oceans had to offer.
Each episode is well written and well done, and as one reviewer mentions, the animation has truely improved since "Walking with Dinosaurs". Perhaps the best of the offerings is "Sea Monsters", where each episode ends with Nigel and crew facing a peril of some kind, and the viewer wondering, "What happens next?" As with the previous video releases, this is the original BBC airing, with no cuts.
Included with this DVD are trailers for "Walking with Dinosaurs", "Walking with Beasts", "Walking with Cavemen", and "Blue Planet". There are also fact files for each of the animals encountered in the series, as well as an extra program, "The Science of Giants", from the BBC series "Horizons". All in all, an must have for your "Walking with..." collection.

As you can guess, I'm not the biggest fan of Nigel all the time, and like most Action Zoologists, I'm half cheering for him to get eaten most of the time. What keeps this video collection at 5 stars is that there is a superb documentary, almost an hour long, on the science behind the first episode of giant herbivore versus giant carnivore. It's well presented for even children, yet the accuracy and thinking are good enough for older, more scientific audiences.
So this is a win-win of education and entertainment, and well worth the money.
