A follow up to the WALKING WITH DINOSAURS documentary, featuring the amazing computer animation that made its predecessor so popular. With a focus on the Allosaurus, the fearsome flesh-eating thunder lizard similar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex, this special explores the 12-meter monster that terrorized the late Jurassic Period. Equipped with huge serrated teeth designed for ripping the flesh from the bone, no more terrifying predator was seen in the dinosaur world until the advent of the T. Rex, some 75 million years later. Made in association with the BBC and The Discovery Channel.

Distributor Notes: Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special

Life was hard in the Jurassic age, even for a large dinosaur at the top of the food chain. A few years ago, the most complete allosaurus skeleton ever found was discovered in Wyoming. The bones tells a surprisingly detailed biography of one individual dinosaur, Big Al, as he came to be known by the scientists who pieced together his story. The creators of Walking With Dinosaurs have vividly recreated this 15-year story from birth to death using the same computer graphic and animatronic techniques that stunned viewers throughout the world when they saw the original series.

A companion program, Big Al Uncovered, shows how the scientists were able to trace the evidence of Big Al's life story. Using the same state-of-the-art graphic effects, Big Al haunts the modern-day museums and dig sites as passionate scientists explain their findings and theories.

Nominated for three Emmy Awards.
