World of the Dinosaur is the upcoming nature documentary film series about the Mesozoic animals, including the dinosaurs. The documentary features animals from the Triassic period of South America to the Cretaceous period of North America and Asia, with each episodes being in different time periods. It will be made by the same people who made Walking with Dinosaurs documentary, and it will be filmed in environments similar to what many prehistoric life live in, while prehistoric animals will be made with animatronics and computer animation. Each episode will be about 49-52 minutes long and, just like Walking with Dinosaurs documentary on DVD, it won't have any interviews with lots of scientists nor paleontologists, so instead the narrator will give out information about everything about life in each episode, like how the narrator did in the Walking with Dinosaurs documentary.
