A brilliant must-have collection!.......2007-07-05

Last year 2006, a local channel here in Manila, Philippines aired this series in our local tagalog dialect with local host and titled it "Hayop Na Hayop (great animals)." Unfortunately the tv series ended. However, my 6-yr old son Diego Miguel can't get enough of it and still hopes to catch it again on tv. Good thing I searched this title here at Amazon and upon reading the great reviews decided to do my first purchase in Amazon!

I am so excited when it arrived (well upon paying almost the same amount of duties and taxes here) and surprised my son with this box collection!

He was so happy!!!

Now the whole family is enjoying this brilliant collection! I highly recommend WALKING WITH DINOSAUR COLLECTION to everyone!!!

Thanks Amazon!

Journey Through Time.......2007-06-06

Imagine that you could move back in time. With "The Complete Walking With... Collection", you can! The Journey starts with the first dinosaurs in a struggle to survive a brutal desert. Then you travel ahead to the Jurassic, where you follow the life of a baby sauropod, or "longneck" for fans of "The Land Before Time" movies, and explore the vast ancient seas. Then, it's on ahead to the Cretaceous, where you with fly with pterosaurs, or "flyers", survive a harsh winter in the South Pole forests, and see the dinosaurs go extinct when a comet hits the Earth. But the journey is far from over. Now you follow the lives of the creatures that lived after the dinosaurs. You will see a forest ruled by a giant killer bird, a giant whale try to survive pregnancy, a baby giraffe-like rhino survive his first few years, the apes that will evolve into humans try to survive in the savannah, a saber-tooth cat fight for his home, and a herd of Woolly Mammoths travel to greener pastures for the winter. If you love dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, then this series can't be beat! Buy now and enjoy it for years to come!
NOTE: Creationists SHOULD NOT watch! Also, the title is misleading. There is "Walking With Monsters", the story of life before the dinosaurs. This is another good one and you should buy it to truly have the COMPLETE Walking With... Collection.

Priceless. Watch them over and over, you'll learn more and more. Kids can watch too.

Learning about dinosaurs made fun.......2007-03-09

My children love to learn about everything. They want to know how it works, where it came from, how big were the dinosaurs and what creatures are in the ocean so this worked well for us. My daughter is learning about dinosaurs in school and had to do a report on diplodocus with three different sources. It was fun to read all the books but being able to sit down and watch the movie was great. It brought everything to life for my children. My son is starting a dinosaur segment in preschool and is already excited to tell his teacher about what he learned from the movie. We spread it out over a few days and watched it after dinner as a family. The children got to watch a movie and learned a lot in the process. We are looking for more sets like this one to add to our collection.

Incredible, fun, and educational...but not for everyone........2006-12-02

I was throughly entertained by this series. Being a dinosaur fan, I loved this. I haven't seen it in a while, but from what I remember it walked through each phase of the the dinosaurs life on the planet from Triassic, Jurrassic, Cretaceous, going through dinosaurs that you may never heard of, how the lived, died, survived, preyed on each other, etc.

It's not for everyone. I can see someone with a slight passing interest in dinosaurs and the period enjoying fifteen minutes or so then becoming bored, so I say rent it first through Netflix because I haven't seen reruns of it in a while.

Dinosaur fans should very much enjoy, and even kids should like it because there are computerize images with the voice overs and while it is educational they should learn something about each species and each period, not just Jurassic because of "Jurassic Park" Very well done, I recommend.

Walking with Dinosaurs Collection.......2007-01-11

I saw this program on TV several years back and loved it. Thought it would be good for my 7 year old who is facinated by dinosaurs and she loved it. It's very educational, as well as, entertaining.

Awesome collection!.......2007-01-10

Of course we all get the standard breeze-over learning about dinosaurs while going through elementary school. Then the movie Jurassic Park showed what technology could do in terms of recreating what dinosaurs looked like. Now this collection brings together the best of both worlds, teaching exactly what the best experts believe life was like in the time of the dinosaurs, combined with the ability to actually show it happening. It's tons of fun to watch and feel like a kid again, amazed by how much different the world was back then. I highly recommend this to kids, ages 1 to 100.

Walking with the dinosaurs dvd set.......2006-11-06

Very pleased with on time delivery and condition of set. Just what we were looking for

great collection for anyone into paleontology.......2006-11-04

My [...] year old loves this set. He also has Walking with Monsters and Chased by Dinosaurs. He even watches the extras, which explain the computer animation, and the research that went into creating the series. Not all parents might find it appropriate for kids his age, since it shows animals doing all the things animals normally do, including defecating, mating, and killing prey.
