Featuring many of the species discovered in the last 10 years, Planet Dinosaur presents a brand-new perspective on the prehistoric era with newly uncovered and astonishing discoveries. Paleontologists now know that dinosaurs spread to every part of the globe and evolved in ways that make even the T-Rex look ordinary. A complete visual experience filled with amazing facts and jaw-dropping action of the charismatic monsters, Planet Dinosaur re-creates everything about the creatures, their habitats and how they lived, all in stunning detail.Bonus Content:“How To Build A Dinosaur” making of Review: Great - even after all these years. - Planet Dinosaur came out in 2011 and featured many of the species discovered during the ten years up to it. I love the fact that the six episodes are all over the planet and show us different landscape, different dinosaurs, and give us different stories about these lovely creatures. Told to us by the late, great, John Hurt. Both educational and entertaining. The dinosaurs are realistic for the time period and the episodes back up the dinosaurs lifestyles and behavior with scienfitic findings. Really good. Is some of the information out-dated by now? Yes. But I still enjoyed it. Five out of five. Review: Planet Dinosaur - great if you can watch it! - The BBC's latest dinosaur documentary was all the talk among many of you when it was announced, even though we couldn't watch it here in America. (luckily we had "Dinosaur Revolution" to watch here in the US at the same time) Now you can watch it; well, sort of. Planet Dinosaur is an almost three hour Blu-Ray disc showing all six episodes from the BBC series special. Narrated by John Hurt, the CG graphics are extremely well done. I know its an over-used word but I thought several scenes were truly awesome. In between the CG action scenes, we are shown various graphics and fossilized bones that tell us stories about the dinosaur's fights and their lives. The show provides some great, very up-to-date information; some of which, I dare say, you did not know. The first episode is set in prehistoric Africa, where we follow a Spinosaurus and meet Carcharodontosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Sarchosuchus, Rugops and more. The second episode is all about the feathered dinosaurs of China. Episode 3 covers the Late Cretaceous and the meat-eaters of that era. Part 4 is set in the Jurassic where we watch not only stegosaurs and allosaurs but marine reptiles too, including the huge Predator X. (It's a funny term, so I was surprised to hear John Hurt seriously use the word "Thagomizer" to describe Stegosaurus spikes.) The fifth episode is mostly about sauropods and other large dinosaurs and the final episode shows various dinosaur forms that evolved to help dinosaurs survive. I highly recommend the show; but, as mentioned at the beginning of this review there is a possible problem. The Blu-Ray would not play on my Blu-Ray player, even though it is supposedly for all areas of the world. I have a new laptop that plays Blu-Ray movies and fortunately it did fine on it. I also understand you can update your Blu-Ray player to where it will play foreign discs, but you have been forewarned. Check before you buy this DVD. However, I give it all five stars. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0083VP2KQ | | Actors | John Hurt | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,601 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #30,456 in DVD | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,876) | | Director | Nigel Paterson | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 25372953 | | Language | English (Stereo) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Release date | August 21, 2012 | | Run time | 2 hours and 54 minutes | | Studio | BBC Home Entertainment | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** John Hurt, Nigel Paterson - **Format:** Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Genre:** Special Interests/Nature & Wildlife - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 1 ## Images ![Planet Dinosaur - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BEDf544wL.jpg) ![Planet Dinosaur - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HaAaT9l4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great - even after all these years. *by M***O on January 10, 2026* Planet Dinosaur came out in 2011 and featured many of the species discovered during the ten years up to it.

It will not work on my regular blu ray player. So you probably need a all region blu ray player like mine to watch this one. This is the best dinosaur program that is now out. It uses the current most and recent finds and information to give a world wide view of dinosaurs. It's done with computer generated effects and it's a outstanding piece of work. Juhn Hurt does a great job of narrating this one. And it does have subtitles. It's not on blu ray in the u.s. so I had to get this version. The u.s. has a dvd version which is the same but not in hd. There is also a 3d version which has one or two episodes of this series on it. This also contains the bbc show 'building a dinosaur' which is not in hd and not cconnected to this series at all. Instead it was a show that aired on the bbc a few years back. It's about the Los angelos museum of natural history and their remodeling and the building of their dinosaur exibit. The 3d version (not in this package) and this is certianly region 2 or b only. And it doesn't have the whole tv series at all. One must wonder why bbc american did not show this tv series here. What a big mistake!. The science here is top notch and the effects are from this era. As opposed to even ten years ago. Leave it to the bbc to do another great dino series, after all they changed everything with their walking with dinosaurs show in 2000!. If you hava a all region player get this one, if not buy the dvd version , it's just a great tv series for the whole family. ## Frequently Bought Together - Planet Dinosaur - Walking with Dinosaurs - Dinosaur Collection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9520097-planet-dinosaur](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9520097-planet-dinosaur) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
