History YMMV / DinosaurRevolution

* IronWoobie: The ''Allosaurus'' in the second episode. His crippling accident is a TearJerker, but he manages to heal, survive to adulthood, and kick ass.

** The headless dinosaur running around may seem amusing at first, in a highly morbid way, but then when it stops, slumps to the ground lifeless and trembling, spilling blood everywhere... yeah.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: What the creators have been bragging about for quite some time, since the first snippets of information about the show had been released. They managed to succeed, partly. By this, we mean the look of the show clearly indicates that it had more than one animation team working on it. The first and much of the third episode was animated by one team, and while they're passable for a run-of-the-mill TVDocumentary, the graphics sadly come off as quite pitiful considering all the hype. Thankfully, the other two episodes play this trope straight with some of the best looking TV-budget dino effects of recent times.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic

* {{Moe}}: The ''Eoraptor'' hens if you look at them head-on. Cue the "Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...".

* NightmareFuel: The headless dinosaur running around may seem amusing at first, in a highly morbid way, but then when it stops, slumps to the ground lifeless and trembling, spilling blood everywhere... yeah.

* OneSceneWonder: The ''Beelzebufo''.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The first episode is ripe with these, but a few particularly bad effects stand out, such as the "disintegrating" ''Inostrancevia'' and the fake lava splash, the ''Saurosuchus'' tail that very clearly phases into solid ground as the animal gets up, and the ''Zalambdalestes'' family who, instead of running convincingly, simply slide and turn in the air above the ground with their feet moving as if they were running in a straight line, and also disappear/reappear between shots.

* {{Squick}}: We see a mosquito sucking blood from the eyeball of a reptile carcass.

* TheWoobie: The lizard from the first episode. [[spoiler:Killed by a bunch of mosquitoes.]]

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The scene in which the [[SmallAnnoyingCreature horny coelurosaur]] annoys the mother ''Allosaurus''.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome

* {{Narm}}: Jack (the antagonistic ''Tyrannosaurus'') has a MightyRoar that is so over the top, that [[YouTubePoop some people wonder why it's not all over YouTube]].

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The scene in which the [[SmallAnnoyingCreature horny coelurosaur]] annoys the mother Allosaurus.

** The rooster Eoraptor and Gigantoraptor, also from the first episode.
** The ''Troodon''

** The rooster Eoraptor and Gigantoraptor, also from the first episode.

* {{Moe}}: The Eoraptor hens if you look at them head-on. Cue the "Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...".
** Probolesodon deserves special note, too.
* {{Narm}}: Jack (the antagonistic Tyrannosaurus) has a MightyRoar that is so over the top, that [[YouTubePoop some people wonder why it's not all over YouTube]].

* '''''NeedsMoreLove:''''' Well, this applies to dinosaur documentaries in general, but Dinosaur Revolution is perhaps the best of this. Not many people have seen it, even though it's basically LooneyTunes [[XMeetsY meets]] WalkingWithDinosaurs.

** The small dinosaur that won't shut up.

* {{Narm}}: Jack (the antagonistic Tyrannosaurus) has a MightyRoar that [[MemeticMutation some people wonder]] [[YouTubePoop why it's not]] [[MemeticMutation ALL OVER THE INTERNET.]]

* {{Narm}}: The headless dinosaur running around looks just plain goofy. But, then it stops...

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The scene in which the [[SmallAnnoyingCreature horny Sciurumimus]] annoys the mother Allosaurus.

** The small dinosaur that won't shut up (possibly Sciurumimus?).

* Moe: The Eoraptor hens if you look at them head-on. Cue the "Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...".

* TheWoobie: The lizard from the first episode. [[spoiler:Killed by a bunch of mosquitoes.]]

* TearJerker: The second half of the last episode. [[spoiler:We see almost all of the main dinosaurian cast die off one by one. In particular, the part where the female ''Troodon'' returns to her mate and finds that he and most of their eggs have died from the cold, and the bit afterwards where she picks up the sole surviving egg and brings it with her into the mouth of a recently dead ''Tyrannosaurus'' where she attempts to brood it, completely alone and forlorn. The fact that we don't see ''her'' death and that there's something of a HopeSpot in the egg but at the same time know the inevitable outcome of the extinction only makes it worse.]]
** The "farewell" scene in the second episode where all the animals leave the watering hole, leaving the ''Allosaurus'' all alone. Some of them even appear to "say goodbye" to the ''Allosaurus''.
** The young ''Allosaurus'' being crippled and abandoned.
** The male ''Cryolophosaurus'' getting beaten up by a rival, and eventually getting its crest bitten off. It doesn't even bother to try standing up afterward.
** The mother Tyrannosaur [[spoiler: weeping for its murdered infants]].
** The old male ''Protoceratops'', upon escorting the orphaned juvenile to a herd, [[spoiler:goes off to die on his own]].

** The flock of birds during the last shot of Episode 4 looks like it belongs in an episode of SesameStreet.

* AccidentalNightmareFuel: The headless dinosaur running around may seem amusing at first, in a highly morbid way, but then when it stops, slumps to the ground lifeless and trembling, spilling blood everywhere... yeah.
** In Episode 4, the female ''Troodon'' [[spoiler:returns to her nest and mate and nudges him, only for her mate to fall over. He's been frozen solid.]]
** We see from the point of view of the young ''Protoceratops'' as one of the ''Velociraptor'' looms over its parents' bodies and starts ''feeding''. Then it looks up ''straight at the camera''. On its own, it's not ''that'' scary, but when you put yourself in the juvenile's shoes, it certainly is.

** Running animation in general is messed up. Most of the time, the animals just slide across the landscape, with their legs doing their own, independent jiggling. In fact most of the motions in episode 1 & 3 have a jarring artificial and stiff quality to them. Only thing's missing is visible cursors moving the animals around.

** A ''Beelzebufo'' is stepped on by a titanosaur. (Also, the ''Beelzebufo'' has just eating a young ''Majungasaurus'', so we can somewhat make out squashed remains of the frog's last meal mingled with the squashed frog itself.)
