Reign of the Dinosaurs - Coming in 2011 (Image courtesy of /Film)
A few months ago, it was reported that the Discovery Channel was collaborating with Disney and Pixar on a new television series coming in 2011, Reign of the Dinosaurs. The official synopsis that they had released said:
REIGN OF THE DINOSAURS
Avatar meets Jurassic Park as the latest paleontological research meets Hollywood story telling. Discovery Channel teams with the top creative talent from Disney and Pixar to create an unparalleled television event. New creatures abound in a wondrous new world – giant dinos with Freddy Krueger style clawed hands, pygmy T-rex, frogs so big they can eat dinosaurs. Learn the latest in understanding of dinosaur behaviors with exotic mating dances, the inner workings of the T-rex’s nuclear family, dinosaurs drunk on fermenting fruit, dinosaurs in apocalyptic events, the underwater birthing of mosasaurs, and prehistory’s angriest mammals. A daring and provocative new chapter in television, REIGN OF THE DINOSAURS is bound to be the benchmark for all future dinosaur natural history programming.
The interesting angle is that while the release mentions Disney and Pixar, it does not mention their roles in the project. That is still to be seen.
