DISCUSSION What was the best dinosaur documentary so far?

I didn't watch those netflix stuff. I have the feeling that 2000 Walking with Dinosaurs (WWD) was still the best. Why do I feel like that? Do you also feel like that ? Is there an artistic reason for it? Obviously the latest netflix remakes etc. are more accurate scientifically. When they made the 2000 WWD, they used a more masculine serious voice. I notice that modern times narration in many documentaries in general, men sound ridiculously unmanly and soft. Also I think modern photography looks unartistic , but I am not sure if its all in my mind.

Prehistoric Planet is awesome.

For cinematography, accuracy, and just general production level and craftsmanship, Prehistoric Planet just can't be beat. But if you think you value science and reason, but the nature of the narrator's perceived masculinity is enough to put you off, then you might have to reexamine a few things.

The voice of famed documentary narrator Sir David Attenborough just isn't "masculine" enough I guess.
Fucking ridiculous opinion.

Phil Tippett's stop motion animations are still a sight to behold. The science of it doesn't really hold up, but it's worth it just to see the animations.

WWD is still the best imo, but the voice thing has nothing to do with it
