Movie Synopsis:
Based on cutting-edge palaeontology and the latest fossil records, Dinotasia presents a series of vignettes about dinosaurs both familiar faces and some we have only found out about in the past ten years. Narrated by Werner Herzog, the film uses CGI to bring the stories to life, but draws on the medium's birth in silent film and early Disney to create proper, traditional visual story-telling.
