Trivia
Originally intended to be a comedic but more adult-oriented and silent animated show with no narration, until the Discovery Channel changed the format to a television documentary in the final stage of development. Hence the drastic shifts in tone, from scientific and serious to over-the-top sensational and goofy, as well as the tacked-on narration and the talking heads.

Goofs
Throughout the series, there are shots when the animals unconvincingly slide across the terrain or float in the air when running, due to the rushed animation.

Connections
Edited into Dinotasia (2012)

I can understand the hardships of CGI, but this is a sorry excuse for this movie. The animals act too human-like and not enough like animals. The dinosaurs are unrealistically colored and there are sound effects every 2 seconds as their on camera. unfortunately, this is a flaw in many documentaries, and I wish that there could be a documentary that fixes all of these flaws, and Dinosaur Revolution acts like it did... but it failed at doing so.

But on the bright side, at least they tried to do so, and I have to give them credit for adding feathers to their dinosaurs.

Turns out it was meant to be a comedy rather than a documentary, so...yeah.
