YMMV / Dinosauria

• Friendly Fandoms: Fans of Dinosauria have take a liking to Prehistoric Planet too, because both works involve dinosaurs living their daily lives as animals instead of movie monsters. It helps both series depicts similar scenes, such as a confrontation between a Pachyrhinosaurus herd against some Nanuqsaurus or a tyrannosaur coming to a body of water to drink peacefully instead of hunting the herbivores that also went to satiate their thirst.
• Funny Moments: According to the making of video for "The Last Tyrant" the birds are a fictional species because none of the Hell Creek taxa fit the story's theme. He dubs these "Madeupornis birdi" (Made-up bird bird").
• Nightmare Fuel: The Nanuqsaurus is portrayed as a terrifying Scarily Competent Tracker that quickly sniffs out a Troodon mother and her babies, cornering them in their den and snatching one of the hatchlings. Even worse is that its appearance and hunting behaviour is based on real life polar bears.
• Tear Jerker: The Last Tyrant, full stop.
  • The portrayal of the dinosaurs thriving just moments before the impact. It's made clear they weren't doomed, dwindling relics, but that they were at their peak and their prime when that fateful day happened. The episode drives home the sheer unfairness of it all: the dinosaurs weren't antediluvian monsters bound for oblivion, they were wonderous creatures who were victims of an unimaginable tragedy.
  • The baby Triceratops trying in vain to wake its dead mother after the asteroid impact.
  • The lone Alamosaurus calling out in vain as it trudges along the scorched landscape. As soon as it finds a pile of corpses of its kin, it simply lays down and gives up on life.
  • The tyrannosaur couple, where the male dies in the impact, the desperate female is forced to scavenge his corpse to survive, and most tragically of all, a close-up shot of a broken egg, with an stillborn baby T. rex still curled up within, which the mother clearly shows distress over. The last shot we see is of the female T. rex as she lies dead, and it looks almost like she's weeping tears of blood.
  • Mixed with Heartwarming, but the ending montage showing the present day. The dinosaurs are gone, and all that remain are bones. But shots of birds like crows and ducks, the living descendants of the dinosaurs, scenes of skeletons inside a museum, a poster of The Valley of Gwangi, and finally, a montage of all the main characters from all five episodes living their lives in the past, add a hopeful note to the dinosaurs' extinction: that they will be remembered, and their legacy lives on.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The animation in these short episodes is utterly breathtaking. Everything in them moves naturally and feels spectacularly alive, while the lighting is so real you could swear you felt the warmth on your body from the prehistoric sun.
