Trivia
Paleontology aficionados have viewed the series as a spiritual successor to Walking with Dinosaurs (1999). Ironically, David Attenborough refused to do the narration on Walking with Dinosaurs (1999) because he was unwilling to support a fictitious wildlife documentary at the time. Attenborough has since changed his view leading to his work here.

Goofs
Throughout the series, dromaeosaur dinosaurs (aka "raptors") are depicted with their long wing feathers lining the entire length of their arms, but most fossilized feather impressions show these feathers would have only extended to their elbows and not their upper arms.

Amazing Spectacle

The production and animation quality is top notch. The stories told are moving, funny, surprising, informative. Felt like I traveled back in time. The extra features -- 5 or 6 short videos -- which show "the science behind the stories" is also worth a look.
