And as always there's the Benadryl Cucumbersnatch narrated version which inexplicably has Nanuqsaurus in place of Gorgosaurus without changing the model.
In regards to feathers - original WWD gets a free pass, since DROMAEOSAURS with feathers weren't known at the time of production. You can see that they did feathers quite well with the Ibemesoremis (which is more or less a bird, but it shows they had the capacity to make this kind of model).

@magister: of note, the notion of Ornitholestes not having a nose horn at all didn't come about until about five or so years after WWD (Rauhut, 2003 and Carpenter, 2005).

I disagree about the feather thing, mostly bc we knew about COMPSOGNATHIDS with feathers... but it's a moot point. And munkas02 that is AMAZING |

The Benedict Cumberbatch version was good but they needed to make the pterosaurs weirder and the dinosaurs (especially Nanuqsaurus) fluffier.

I have some feelings for the original walking with dinosaurs. :> I watched it over and over again when I was a bit younger.

By the way, did anyone else wonder if they were trying to spread their bets with regards to the extinction in the final episode? While they obviously showed the comet, they also seemed to imply in the rest of the episode that non-avian dinosaurs were already on their way towards extinction due to increasing volcanism and the development of mammals. I know the impact hypothesis wasn't as widely accepted in the 90s as it is now, but I still found it a bit strange.

I think that may actually the current consensus, a combo of volcanism (in this case largely the Deccan traps) and the impact |

We have good evidence of reduced faunal diversity towards the end of the Maastrichtian, which means dinosaurs were pretty much on the decline already, but the impact was the final nail in the coffin.
