Dinosaur Revolution

Dinosaur Revolution is the Discovery Channel's major dinosaur-related TV Documentary, which debuted on September 4, 2011.

Calling it a "documentary" may however be deceptive. It combines elements of various genres: traditional wildlife documentaries, silent movie-style "acting" and comic cartoon Slapstick, and presents them in the form of vignettes or longer, cohesive stories, focusing on the characterization and the relationships between the animals. As always, whether this makes the show more entertaining or just plain dumb is up to the viewer to decide. However this isn't the first time that Discovery uses this borderline-Edutainment Show format for its dino-shows.

There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the production, due to the bold claims of its creators, which can be read here. Basically, what the show set out to avoid was making paleontologists cry, and to show off some breath-taking CGI. Another major subject of discussion is the "sparse narration" the press releases promised. Do note, the slightly controversial dino-anthropomorphism is justified due to the fact that originally, the show was to be broadcast with no Narrator, but Executive Meddling changed that.

A feature film version, re-cut to a format truer to the production's original intent, titled Dinotasia, was released in UK theaters on May 4th, 2012. It received a brand new narration by Werner Herzog.

Dinosaur Revolution was formerly titled Reign of the Dinosaurs.

The work provides examples of:

 * All Animals Are Dogs: Some people have observed that the Allosaurus cub acts suspiciously like a playful pup.
 * All There in the Script: Many (if not all) of the characters have nicknames that were used during the production of the show, but are never mentioned in the final product. The exact genus and species (if any) of many of the animals featured also fall under this, and have only been revealed through Word of God.
 * Always a Bigger Fish: Non-predatory example. After eating a young Majungasaurus, one of the Beelzebufo is stepped on by a Rapetosaurus passing through.
 * The Castorocauda is spotted by the Guanlong while chasing... a fish.
 * Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: The colorists really went wild with the color schemes on the animals. This is not just an observation, they said so themselves.
 * Anachronism Stew: The show's Discovery website puts Gigantoraptor 90 million years ago, way too early. 80 million years ago is closer to the mark.
 * Animal Talk
 * Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Averted when the Cryolophosaurus destroys his rival's eggs. However, played straight when he doesn't actually kill his opponent. There's a similar case with the Tyrannosaurus. (However, .)
 * Averted by a cannibalistic Anhanguera that kills one of the young Anhanguera.
 * Apocalypse How: The show begins with the Permian extinction and ends with the Cretaceous extinction, both of which very easily attained a class 4.
 * Badass: Many characters, including the Saurosuchus, the mother Mosasaurus and the Torvosaurus qualify. The Tyrannosaurus rex is also a given qualifier.
 * The Allosaurus qualifies somewhat as a Handicapped Badass at times, especially considering the fact that it did a major feat by managing to survive a broken jaw back when it was a baby and is STILL alive and kicking.
 * The adult Majungasaurus. It's not as readily apparent as the other examples here (as the story it's shown in focuses more on smaller animals), but it is shown to succeed in killing an adult sauropod. Considering that nearly all other encounters between theropods and sauropods in this show end badly for the theropods, that's saying a lot.
 * The Bad Guy Wins:
 * Badass Grandpa: The old bull Protoceratops.
 * Behind the Black: The Saurosuchus doesn't notice the group of Ischigualastia until the audience does, even though they're standing right in front of him.
 * Beware My Stinger Tail: Miragaia, Shunosaurus, and Ankylosaurus.
 * Big Bad: Insofar as this can be applicable to dinosaurs, the Torvosaurus in the second episode.
 * The antagonistic Tyrannosaurus is sort of one,.
 * The Saurosuchus in the Eoraptor story and the antagonistic Cryolophosaurus in the Jurassic Antarctica stories also qualify.
 * Big Damn Heroes:
 * The old bull Protoceratops in the Protoceratops story, and later an entire herd of Protoceratops do the same.
 * Big Guy, Little Guy: The Allosaurus and Rhamphorhynchus. The Rhamphorhynchus also switches over to a Torvosaurus in a brief stint.
 * The Rapetosaurus and Rahonavis, though in this case the Rahonavis sticks with whichever Rapetosaurus that passes by instead of any particular individual.
 * Bittersweet Ending:
 * Bloodless Carnage:
 * Body Language: As the show was animated with no narration in mind, the animals received very expressive acting skills, which at certain points go near Disney School of Acting and Mime territory.
 * Book Ends: The first episode starts with an extinction, and the last episode
 * Bullet Time: The Cryolophosaurus fight had a lot of this.
 * Butt Monkey: The poor Torvosaurus turns into this, since every animal around the water hole is out to get him, even the much smaller Allosaurus. He does have a brief Who's Laughing Now? moment, but it doesn't last. As such, this can be seen as a powerful Deconstruction of the Prehistoric Monster cliché, as it's the seemingly most Badass creature in town who gets shoved around,.
 * The Ornitholestes (both one particular individual as well as the species as a whole).
 * Camp Straight / Gay: Matt Lamanna seems to be trying to invoke this as much as possible with his voice alone.
 * Carnivore Confusion: In general, the predators are portrayed as real predators, just doing what they do. Nonetheless, predators that threaten the protagonist animal in each story are often portrayed as antagonistic in a sense.
 * The Allosaurus and Dinheirosaurus.
 * Catch That Pigeon: The Ornitholestes tries, and fails, to catch a Rhamphorhynchus throughout the second episode.
 * An artist who worked on the show said during production the two were nicknamed "Sylvester and Ptweety".
 * Chekhov's Gun:
 * Chekhov's Gunman: The mosquitoes.
 * The antagonistic male Cryolophosaurus returns in the Glacialisaurus story.
 * Chekhov's Skill: Troodon being able to pick up things two handed.
 * Rahonavis mimicking sounds.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: The angered Torvosaurus is no match for his smaller opponents, and though he manages to tip an adult Dinheirosaurus on its side, he soon finds himself on the receiving end when the sauropod goes on a rampage, thus turning the Torvo's situation into a Curb Stomp Cushion.
 * However, the first fight between the Torvosaurus and Allosaurus is one in favor of the Torvosaurus. Indeed, it was winning the second time around as well, if it weren't for the adult Dinheirosaurus.
 * Disturbed Azhdarchids: When the "antagonistic" T .rex.
 * Downer Ending:.
 * Drunken Master: The Shunosaurus, after ingesting some hallucinogenic mushrooms, is attacked by a pair of Sinraptor. It ends up hanging off the side of a steep slope, but in its throes it flicks one Sinraptor away with its tail club.
 * Eats Babies: Probelesodon, the sharks, Cryolophosaurus, Torvosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, the mammals in the last episode, the cannibalistic Anhanguera, and Beelzebufo. Saurosuchus, Troodon, Utahraptor, Velociraptor, the notosuchians in the Anhanguera story, and Allosaurus try to, but aren't shown succeeding.
 * Edible Bludgeon: The still moving tail of a Dinheirosaurus slaps the Allosaurus eating it in the face. A mild subversion, since the food is acting by itself.
 * Enemy Mine: They don't fight each other ever again.
 * Everything's Better with Dinosaurs
 * Everything's Even Worse with Sharks: Some sharks kill and eat some baby mosasaurs.
 * Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods: The ammonites in the mosasaur story.
 * Exit, Pursued by a Bear:
 * Eye Scream: Happens a few times in the Utahraptor segment.
 * Facial Markings: The male Tyrannosaurus appear to have a striking white skull-pattern on their head, in contrast to their otherwise fully black body.
 * Feathered Fiend: The feathered dinosaurs Gigantoraptor, Rahonavis, Tyrannosaurus, and Troodon are protagonists in their respective stories, but Velociraptor and arguably Guanlong and Utahraptor are antagonistic and play this straight (and there's also an antagonistic Tyrannosaurus, although it's never shown in its fuzzy juvenile stage). Properly feathered carnivorous dinosaurs on TV, finally! At least, as properly as their budget allowed them to, feathers and fur being tough to animate.
 * What more, this is yet another production that doesn't shy away from giving their tyrannosaurs feathers.
 * The one coelurosaur that lacks feathers (due to time constraints) is Ornitholestes, though it also happens to be one of the more Hand Wave-able instances because of its uncertain phylogenetic position. For most part it serves as something of a Plucky Comic Relief.
 * Foot Focus: Happens frequently with the deinonychosaurs.
 * Foregone Conclusion: The K-Pg extinction in the last episode.
 * Frogs and Toads: Beelzebufo, a frog that ate small dinosaurs.
 * Giant Flyer: Anhanguera and Quetzalcoatlus.
 * Giant Swimmer: Tylosaurus, but the sharks and various aquatic pseudosuchians are also fairly large.
 * Gorn: Difficult to avoid when making a flashy dinosaur show.
 * Gory Discretion Shot: Often averted, but strangely played straight in both of the long stories in similar situations.
 * Groin Attack: The Torvosaurus bites the Allosaurus in its pubic region during their first fight.
 * The Grotesque: An Allosaurus with a seriously deformed jaw.
 * Handicapped Badass: The Allosaurus.
 * Subverted in a way by the male Tyrannosaurus. He is able to survive even with an arm bitten off, but he doesn't exactly need to use his arms terribly much to begin with.
 * Hope Spot: The Guanlong.
 * Ultimately,.
 * The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: The Guanglong story ends with
 * This also happens to the Castorocauda, Ornitholestes, Rhamphorhynchus, and young Anhanguera at certain points, though they manage to survive.
 * Infant Immortality: Averted. What more, its aversion is played for laughs in the Anhanguera story.
 * Informed Ability: The Ornitholestes is introduced as a resourceful predator, but never actually succeeds in catching anything on screen.
 * The Utahraptors have it worse. While the narration and talking heads describe them as the baddest killers ever, the animation shows them getting their butts kicked (literally).
 * The narrator claims that Castorocauda "has many beaver-like traits that help it survive", but it is never shown doing anything beaver like. Similarly, the Volaticotherium is said to act like a flying squirrel, but it's portrayed more like a gliding bat, catching insects in midair.
 * Karma Houdini: Mama Anhanguera, who throws off her offspring to die in an attempt to have them learn to fly. This wouldn't generally receive any mention (this is, after all, still a documentary, and wild animals get away with things are are far more morally repulsive from a human point of view), except for the fact that karma IS very prevalent in the rest of the series, due to its comedic tendecies.
 * She does end up getting crab bits splattered repeatedly in her face. Not exactly punishment, but she is at least humiliated (in the eyes of the viewer).
 * Also Rahonavis, who sends two baby Majungasaurus to their deaths at the mouths of Beelzebufo rather unnecessarily, considering it could fly (and was already safe from the Majungasaurus when it did so).
 * Subverted by the antagonistic Cryolophosaurus, which gets a The Bad Guy Wins treatment at first
 * Kick Them While They Are Down: Averted in several cases, such as at the end of the T. rex duel, when the victor lets the loser go.
 * Knuckle-Cracking: One T. rex apparently Took a Level In Badass.
 * Lethal Lava Land: Much of Earth's surface turns into this when the Permaian extinction occurs.
 * Mama Bear: The mosasaur, Tyrannosaurus, and Eoraptor. The Dinheirosaurus, Cedarosaurus, and Miragaia are probably either this or Papa Wolf, as their genders are never specified.
 * Averted by mama Anhanguera, which cares more about whereas its children fly off the nest rather than their own lives. Possibly Fridge Brilliance in that pterosaurs probably weren't a very maternal lot, what with the fact that their offspring flew within days after birth and all.
 * Mamenchisaur Island: In the Guanlong sketch.
 * Mighty Roar: By courtesy of none other than the king of roars, Tyrannosaurus rex.
 * Misplaced Wildlife: Ornitholestes in Portugal.
 * Azhdarchid pterosaurs flying over the ocean.
 * Mood Whiplash: One moment we see the young Tyrannosaurus playing, the next.
 * Also later in the same episode, much hilarity is happening around the old Ankylosaurus. We first see the Troodon chasing a juvenile pachycephalosaur, which tries to seek shelter underneath the Ankylosaurus, while the Ankylosaurus is seemingly oblivious to all this, even accidentally sitting on the male Troodon. Later, the young T. rex playfully tries to attack the Ankylosaurus, only to get knocked to the ground. Funny stuff. Then it chases the pair of Troodon into a cave. How cute.
 * The antics of the ill-fated Guanlong duo are meant to be amusing at first... . (Although, mind you, it's not entirely clear on whether they're sympathetic characters or not.)
 * The young Protoceratops bonds with the old bull and they manage to reach a herd of other Protoceratops (who also scare away the two Velociraptor trying to ambush them). Then,
 * It's brief, but when most of the Anhanguera story (even the deaths of the young Anhanguera) is played for laughs, it's a quick jolt back to reality when we see the broken body of one of the Anhanguera being scavenged by crabs.
 * Mushroom Samba: What befalls the Shunosaurus who tries some tasty-looking mushrooms.
 * Never Smile At a Crocodile: Several crocodile relatives show up, including Saurosuchus, a generic aquatic Cretaceous crocodyliform, some generic aquatic Jurassic crocodyliforms, and a generic notosuchian. Just about all of them are antagonistic.
 * No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: The Cryolophosaurus fight, as well as the first encounter between the Allosaurus and Torvosaurus.
 * No Peripheral Vision: The Saurosuchus.
 * Noisy Nature: Delightfully averted. The predators tend to stalk and ambush their prey quietly. When the Torvosaurus and inexperienced young Majungasaurus fail to do this,
 * Played pretty straight sometimes though. The baby Mosasaurs chirp like baby birds while getting attacked by the sharks. Even when they go to the bottom to hide they don't shut up.
 * The Obi-Wan: The old bull Protoceratops.
 * Off with His Head: This befalls an Ornitholestes.
 * Oh Crap: The Ornitholestes when it realizes that it has landed on the Allosaurus. Later, both the Ornitholestes and Rhamphorhynchus when the Torvosaurus shows up at the watering hole.
 * One-Scene Wonder: The Beelzebufo.
 * Papa Wolf: The male Eoraptor and Tyrannosaurus. The male Cryolophosaurus tries, but his opponent is just too strong.
 * Protoceratops Graveyard
 * Ptero-Soarer: Mostly averted at least by the Anhanguera. The implied extended parental care is less acceptable, however. The Rhamphorhynchus appears to lack pycnofibers and doesn't use a quadrupedal launch. Quetzalcoatlus shows up, but not enough of it is shown to determine its accuracy.
 * Also note that Rhamphorhynchus is thought to have had behaved like modern nocturnal sea birds (avoiding thus competition from diurnal pterosaurs that also hunted fish in the same regions), thus seeing one far from the open sea and on daylight would not be very common.
 * We do get to see the Quetzalcoatlus (or at least a similar azhdarchid; none of the azhdarchids shown are reffered to as any particular genus) up close in the third episode (in a blink and you miss scene in the Protoceratops segment); they are largely quite accurate, if maybe displaced in time and space (if they're not just generic azhdarchids).
 * Raptor Attack: Anatomically mostly averted at least by the Rahonavis, Velociraptor, Utahraptor, and Troodon. They even have primary feathers, something previous documentaries (and depictions in general) tended to get wrong.
 * Recurring Extra: Cockroaches show up everywhere.
 * Ridiculously Cute Critter: The Rahonavis, at least in the original storyboard art. The baby Zalambadalestes, baby Eoraptor, baby Protoceratops, and juvenile pachycephalosaur also qualify.
 * Road Runner vs. Coyote: The Ornitholestes trying to catch the Rhamphorhynchus. Done as a Shout-Out.
 * Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies:
 * Roger Rabbit Effect: In a few shots (particularly those after the end credits), some of the CGI animals show up at the lab that the talking heads are shown in.
 * Rule of Cool: Some features of certain animals, like the crest of Cryolophosaurus or the tail club of Shunosaurus, had to be enhanced at the expense of scientific accuracy, just so that the audience would find them more interesting.
 * The mosquito swarm actually killing a large lizard.
 * It's implied that the Torvosaurus actually succeeds in killing a herd of adult Miragaia. The original script has it kill just a Miragaia calf (which it also does later in the episode).
 * The Castorocauda uses a skunk-like musk to defend itself.
 * The ability of the Rahonavis to mimic sounds.
 * Rule of Funny: As awkward as such moment are in a documentary, this show does have a sense of humor, as animation allows for much better timing than filming real animals would.
 * Science Marches On: The discovery that mosasaurs likely had tail flukes was published just as the mosasaur models were finished up.
 * Yutyrannus shows that large tyrannosauroids were feathered as well as smaller ones.
 * Sea Monster: Tylosaurus and Cretoxyrhina.
 * Seldom-Seen Species: A refreshing lot. There are Cryolophosaurus, Sinraptor, Eoraptor, Torvosaurus, Majungasaurus, Rahonavis, Miragaia, Glacialisaurus, Mamenchisaurus, Rapetosaurus, Lusotitan, Shunosaurus, Gigantoraptor, Draconyx, Cedarosaurus, Guanlong, freakin' Dinheirosaurus... But the most interesting examples are the non-dinosaurian Saurosuchus, Anhanguera, Castorocauda (a water-going mammal relative), Volaticotherium (the Jurassic "flying squirrel"), Probelesodon (a non-mammalian cynodont), Zalambdalestes (a small placental mammal), Ischigualastia (a dicynodont), Inostrancevia (a gorgonopsid), Cretoxyrhina (a shark), and the (by modern standards) ungodly large frog Beelzebufo. Many of these were discovered while the show was still in production.
 * Even among Stock Dinosaur genera, the show tends to use Seldom-Seen Species (such as Allosaurus europaeus, Velociraptor osmolskae, and Protoceratops hellenikorhinus instead of the stock Allosaurus fragilis, Velociraptor mongoliensis, and Protoceratops andrewsi).
 * Sexy Discretion Shot: Not quite. We see a pair of Tyrannosaurus getting it on, and only after a few seconds does the camera cut to another scene.
 * Shout-Out: As a Cryolophosaurus lunges at its opponent, for a brief moment they imitate Charles R. Knight's famous dinosaur painting, Leaping Laelaps. Earlier, it uses a kangaroo kick, a homage to Gregory Paul's art.
 * A segment fittingly titled "Pterosaur Looney Tunes" puts a tragic spin on the character of Beaky Buzzard's momma from the cartoon shorts, in the form of a strange Anhanguera mother who's too dumb to let her hatchlings live.
 * Similarly, the character designs and relationships between the Rhamphorhynchus, Ornitholestes, and Allosaurus are based on Tweety, Sylvester, and the bulldog.
 * The Ornitholestes gets a ring of bark stuck around its neck, making it resemble the Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus.
 * The mosquito in the amber that appears just before the Glacialisaurus scene is also an obvious homage to Jurassic Park.
 * The sequence where everyone beats up on the Torvosaurus was inspired by the Battle at Kruger wildlife video.
 * Episode 3's opening battle also has elements of the Battle at Kruger, and actually has more in common with it rather than the Torvosaurus beat-up scene.
 * The end of the second episode has a Myth Busters type sequence where the model of a diplodocoid tail is used on the model of an Allosaurus jaw to see how much damage it could inflict. One idea suggested during production was to have one of these sequences in each episode, but this was scrapped.
 * The cold opening of the third episode is similar to a scene in Raptor Red.
 * Several elements of the show were inspired by a French film about grizzly bears called The Bear, which (as was originally planned for Dinosaur Revolution) told a story about wildlife without using narration.
 * The way one of the Cedarosaurus kicks away the Utahraptor is similar to to a scene portrayed in the accompanying artwork for the description of the sauropod Brontomerus.
 * A clip of the show on Discovery's website is called Jurassic Fight Club (keep in mind that JFC and DR aired on two different networks with two different owners).
 * Shown Their Work: The theropod hands aren't pronated, most of the coelurosaurs are well feathered, and Noisy Nature is averted.
 * Their Triceratops skin is even based on their personal examination of the skin shown on an unpublished Triceratops specimen.
 * The Troodon are shown to be omnivores, and the males are responsible for brooding the nest.
 * This is probably the first show to feature correct ceratopsian hands (the outer two toes shouldn't touch the ground).
 * While not particularly recent discoveries, this show gets the abelisaurid and sauropod hands right when most other depictions do not.
 * The show avoids the common meme of having female theropods larger than the males. While this idea is not unreasonable, it is based on only circumstantial evidence and isn't anywhere as set in stone as commonly portrayed.
 * The juvenile pachycephalosaur in the last episode is not intended to be any particular species, in order to avoid the whole Hell Creek pachycephalosaur ontogenetic debate (and because the model was going to be used for Prenocephale).
 * Slapstick: There is a considerable amount. Yes, it's a "documentary" with tons of animal slapstick from grotesque to cutesy, deal with it.
 * Small Annoying Creature: One scene features a small dinosaur who just won't shut up in the middle of the night, and annoys the hell out of a nearby dinosaur family who are just trying to sleep. So the mother kills it.
 * Somewhere a Paleontologist Is Crying: The people behind the show went out of their way to avert this, and mostly it works very well. However, a few errors still slip through.
 * Due to time constraints, the Ornitholestes is the one coelurosaur on the show that lacks feathers.
 * Some paleontologists have criticized the social lifestyles shown for some of the dinosaurs and especially the mosasaurs and pterosaurs for being implausible. One of the main paleontologists who worked on the show has even said that he disowns the mosasaur segment.
 * The Ischigualastia and Pachycephalosaurus don't particularly resemble the genera they are supposed to be, as the models were originally intended to be used for Placerias and Prenocephale respectively.
 * Protoceratops has one and Triceratops two front foot-claws more than they should. Common error, very easy to commit.
 * Volaticotherium is unlikely to have been agile enough to catch insects in the air.
 * Speculative Documentary: Unavoidable for anything prehistory-related until Time Travel is invented.
 * Stock Dinosaurs: Not as many as one might expect. They include T. rex, Triceratops, Allosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Velociraptor and Protoceratops. Non-dinosaurian stock creatures include Quetzalcoatlus, Rhamphorhynchus and mosasaurs.
 * However, it's worthy to note that even among many stock genera, the show tends to use the less often-portrayed species of those genera (such as Allosaurus europaeus, Velociraptor osmolskae, and Protoceratops hellenikorhinus instead of the stock Allosaurus fragilis, Velociraptor mongoliensis, and Protoceratops andrewsi).
 * Super-Persistent Predator: The Ornitholestes to the Rhamphorhynchus, as a parody of Sylvester and Tweety, to the point that the Ornitholestes leaves the watering hole still chasing the Rhamphorhynchus!
 * Tail Slap: The Dinheirosaurus.
 * Talking Heads: In spite of original plans not to have these in the show itself.
 * Those Two Bad Guys: Let's see, there's Sinraptor, Guanlong, Velociraptor and the Majungasaurus babies.
 * Too Dumb to Live:
 * A fish being chased by the Castorocauda tries to escape by leaping onto land (!?!?) and flopping away from the water...!?!?
 * Trailers Always Spoil: Not the trailer itself, but the promotional material contains a number of spoilers. One of the earliest clips released showed . One of the flipcards on the Discovery website shows the very end of the last episode.
 * This even happens within the show itself! Many of the preview clips (shown during talking head segments or before commercials) give away much of what is going to happen next.
 * The death of the antagonistic Tyrannosaurus was also spoiled in promotional materials and the Dinotasia trailer, but having been taken out of context the events leading up to it can still come across as a surprise.
 * Turtle Power: A turtle is something of Recurring Extra in the Utahraptor story.
 * Tyrannosaurus Rex
 * Villain Protagonist: The Guanlong and arguably the Utahraptor.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: The pair of Guanlong. They never stop bickering.
 * Voice Changeling: The Rahonavis amuses itself with its ability to copy the noises around it almost perfectly.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: One moment . One Ischigualastia does show up later in the background, but it still looks like they vanished halfway through the fight.
 * Whip It Good: Dineheirosaurus tail, of which a poor Allosaurus cub get a taste of. He does so again as an adult, but this time literally.
 * The Worf Effect: To the Torvosaurus in the "Battle at Kruger" homage scene.
 * Zerg Rush: The mosquitoes. The Utahraptor try this on a young Cedarosaurus.
 * Villain Protagonist: The Guanlong and arguably the Utahraptor.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: The pair of Guanlong. They never stop bickering.
 * Voice Changeling: The Rahonavis amuses itself with its ability to copy the noises around it almost perfectly.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: One moment . One Ischigualastia does show up later in the background, but it still looks like they vanished halfway through the fight.
