Walking with Dinosaurs
''Walking with Dinosaurs'' is a six-part documentary television miniseries that was produced by the BBC, narrated by Kenneth Branagh, and first aired in the United Kingdom, in 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://walkingwithdinosaurs-theorigins.com/ )〕 The series was subsequently aired in North America on the Discovery Channel in 2000, with Branagh's voice replaced with that of Avery Brooks. It is the first entry of the ''Walking with...'' series and used computer-generated imagery and animatronics to recreate the life of the Mesozoic, showing dinosaurs and their contemporaries in a way that previously had only been seen in feature films. The programme's aim was to simulate the style of a nature documentary and therefore does not include "talking head" interviews.
The series used palaeontologists such as Michael Benton, Thomas R. Holtz, Jr., Peter Dodson, Peter Larson, Dave Martill, and James Farlow as advisors (their influence in the filming process can be seen in the documentary ''The Making of Walking with Dinosaurs''). The ''Guinness Book of World Records'' reported that the series was the most expensive documentary series per minute ever made. The series won two BAFTA Awards, three Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award in 2000.〔(60th Annual Peabody Awards ), May 2001.〕 A feature film of the same name, inspired by the series was released by 20th Century Fox and BBC Earth in 2013.
==Reception==
The series has earned critical acclaim. In a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 1999, voted on by industry professionals, ''Walking with Dinosaurs'' was placed 72nd. The series won two BAFTAs (Innovation and Best Original Television Music) and three Emmy Awards: Outstanding Animated Program, Outstanding Special Visual Effects and Outstanding Achievement in Non-Fiction Programming – Sound Editing. CommonSense Media greatly praised the program, giving it five stars out of five and saying that, "Somebody had a great idea, which was to make a documentary series about dinosaurs, but with a twist. The aging ''Ornithocheirus'' on a desperate final flight to his mating grounds, the sauropod hatchlings struggling for survival in the late Jurassic, the migrating herds and the undersea life of 150 million years ago would all seem as real as a nature program about polar bears or snow monkeys." This technique of narrating the prehistoric life as though it were current has been used several times since, for example in the BBC's 2011 ''Planet Dinosaur'' series.
