While violent, this is "nature" violence, in a documentary style, that has captured my kids' imaginations for years.

What Parents Need to Know
About Walking with Dinosaurs
Parents need to know that, although they're presented in matter-of-fact, scientific fashion, some of the dramatizations in this stunning nature documentary may be too much for younger or more sensitive kids. Dinosaurs are shown attacking and eating one another, as well as peeing and pooping. Sauropods and others are discreetly shown coupled; mating rituals and habits are discussed.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the limitations of documentaries, especially those about animals we've never observed directly.
- What sorts of things did the filmmakers have to guess at in order to create this film? Do we really know what color dinosaurs were? Do you think this was exactly the way they walked? Sounded? Cared for their young? Fought one another?
- How could you go about sorting out what's known about dinosaurs from the fiction and speculation?
