Documentation

Even more than the feature films, the documentaries reflect the development of trick technology in connection with the scientific findings of paleontological research. Initially, however, the media that shaped ideas about the appearance of dinosaurs were visual reconstructions by painters and sculptors.

  • In the Land of the Saurians / Land of the Lost (USA 1974–1976). The fantastic adventure series brought dinosaurs, animated in stop-motion technology, directly onto the screen for the first time. The series In the Land of the Saurians II (USA 1991–1992) followed almost 20 years later with other actors and new stories. A film version, based on the series from the 1970s, was released in 2009 under the title The almost forgotten world (see above).
  • The Dinos / Dinosaurs (USA 1991–1994). This family series around the dinosaur Earl Sinclair and his relatives achievedgreat popularitythanks to the full-body dolls from Jim Henson's workshopand the funny dialogues. It aired 65 episodes in four seasons.
  • Barney and Friends / Barney & Friends (USA 1992). Similar to Sesame Street ,this television series for children of preschool and early school age,which has been produced to this day,conveyssimple learning content.

With other actors, a television series was then produced under the same title, but it had little success.
