5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and informative family viewing, 29 Oct 2009
This review is from: The Big Dinosaur Box (4 Disc BBC Box Set) [DVD] (DVD)
This box set is superb value (under a tenner at the time of writing). The DVDs are informative and entertaining. It's not often that my six year old asks to watch a DVD more than once but he absolutely loves the 'Walking With Dinosaurs' episodes, prompting him to ask loads of questions and find out more about Dinosaurs.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic, 27 Jun 2010
This review is from: The Big Dinosaur Box (4 Disc BBC Box Set) [DVD] (DVD)
The first two disks (Walking with Dinosaurs, The Ballad of Big Al) are fantastic. They immerse you in the prehistoric world and make you follow the adventures of various animals. It's incredibly well done, and very emotional. The best nature show I've ever watched.

The third disk (Land of giants, The giant claw) is much weaker. No immersion, no story, no emotion. An annoying guy traveling with his car or small plane among the prehistoric animals. This of course ruins the whole effect. Showing bones ruins the effect too. They should have put the CGI in one show, with a little story to keep things flowing nicely. They they should have put Nigel and the bones in a "making of" extra.

Anyway, don't let this stop you from buying the big box. The first two disks are totally worth the price by themselves.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Big Dinosaur Box, 1 Jun 2009
By 
This review is from: The Big Dinosaur Box (4 Disc BBC Box Set) [DVD] (DVD)
"The Big Dinosaur" box was sheer, delightful entertainment from start to finish, enjoyed by both adults and kids in the family. The special effects and animation have dated very well, and look just as fresh as they were when these programmes were first screened on TV.
