The film features computer-animated creatures in live-action settings – itself a very interesting approach to making a movie like this – based on the incredibly popular BBC miniseries of the same name.
With less than a month to count down before it hits the big screen, we’ve got two exclusive new character featurettes to share, introducing Alex, an Alexornis bird, and our leading dinosaur Patchi, a Pachyrhinosaurus.
For the first time in movie history, audiences will truly see and feel what it was like when dinosaurs ruled the Earth.

Tinseltown’s love of all things prehistoric continues to romp forward. Twenty years since Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park advanced cinema technology and brought the terrifying creatures to the big screen, we still can’t get enough as this latest domestic trailer for Walking With Dinosaurs 3D is here to keep audiences poised for further dinosauric action.
Following on from last month’s international trailer, Fox have crafted a new preview for U.S. audiences. Adding on a voiceover appears to be an attempt to make the film more palatable. It spoon feeds the film to viewers. Fair play to Fox. They’re keen to capture a youthful audience who force their parents to watch all four Ice Age movies incessantly on repeat.
Walking With Dinosaurs 3D comes from director Barry Cook. He helmed Arthur Christmas and Mulan. This time he joins up with Neil Nightingale to share directing duties.

At the beginning of the month, an international trailer for the animated Walking with Dinosaurs 3D debuted, previewing the chronicles of two young dinosaurs as they grow up, hoping to follow in their father's footsteps, and become respected creatures of the prehistoric wild. While that first look made the film seem like a nature documentary with a narrative (and no talking animals), this one takes a more family friendly approach with some cheesy voiceover and some mainstream music to get the kids interested, but the grounded story and visuals could make this worth a trip to the theater for the whole family. Watch now! The Us trailer for Barry Cook & Neil Nightingale's Walking with Dinosaurs 3D, originally from Apple: Walking with Dinosaurs 3D is directed by Barry Cook (Arthur Christmas) and Neil Nightingale (Enchanted Kingdom 3D) and written by John Collee (Happy Feet) and Theodore Thomas (Walt & El Grupo).

What started as an arena show is now coming to the big screen in 20th Century Fox's Walking with Dinosaurs 3D. In what feels like a hybrid narrative and documentary feature with breathtaking visuals, the film chronicles the lives of two young dinosaurs as they grow up, hoping to follow in their father's footsteps, and become respected creatures of the prehistoric wild. These dinosaurs don't talk, but it's clear there's some cutesy kind of humor and liberties taken with the dinosaurs. And while the animation isn't terrible, it doesn't always look like it's top notch work. Still, this could be cool to see in theaters. Watch! First trailer for Barry Cook & Neil Nightingale's Walking with Dinosaurs 3D, originally from MSN UK: Walking with Dinosaurs 3D is directed by Barry Cook (Arthur Christmas) and Neil Nightingale (Enchanted Kingdom 3D) and written by John Collee (Happy Feet) and Theodore Thomas (Walt & El Grupo).
