Mesozoic Mind

We made it to 75 posts and 10,000 views and beyond everyone! To celebrate that and the launch of the new Mesozoic Mind Discord server (oh yeah, that's now a thing), here is a two-in-one: a new instalment of Palaeo-Redo, and a new Random Palaeo-Work idea of the Day. First up is Palaeo-Redo , this time if my selected work were made by me or updated. This time, what better to commemorate the start of my blog writings then my first big breakthroughs, Dino Lab  and  Cameron and his Dinosaurs . My idea for Dino Lab  (both I and II) is to make it a full series about six episodes long set on a whole campus, with both indoor and outdoor facilities to conduct the experiments with the dinosaurs, not just indoor ones that just raise all sorts of welfare concerns I have with the present version. Each episode and the experiments within them would focus on a different topic. Senses Locomotion Feeding and Hunting Sociality Communication Internal Organs The expanded runtime woul...

Hello and welcome back to Mesozoic Mind. Today, with winter bearing upon me where I live, we are reviewing a fitting filmthat has turned 20 this year from the age of the mythical format known as the VHS tape, a bulky and hardy format in plastic and celluloid, which was an endangered species in the early 2000's, as well as the subsequent film series that I followed (but got progressicely worse the further it wenr). If you haven't seen the movie like I have, Blue Sky's (RIP to them)   Ice Age  (2002) tells the story of three different stranger mammals, a Mammoth named Manny (Ray Ramano), a ground sloth named Sid ((John Leguizamo), and a Sabretooth cat named... Diego (Denis Leary). They are all brought together amidst a giant migration by a younng neanderthal baby (while not named in the film, is named Roshan) orphaned in a sabretooth cat attack on his tribe, and they agree to return it to them before they can leave, but have to dodge the pack who want to eliminate the humans...

Hello, and welcome back to Mesozoic Mind. Today, we're starting a new themed month, Nostalgiavember, about many prehistoric-related entities of my 2000's childhood I enjoyed and loved or simply fondly remembered, even more then usual. I'm talking web videos, books, and movies, rather then the usual array of docs I usually deal in (which are already nostalgic themselves). Our first subject is a very short documentary, simply titled Dinosaur World . It's not to be confused with the unfinished BBC game, the chain of parks, or really, any other work with that title. The video was uploaded in Youtube’s golden age of 2007 but was actually made around 2004, and created by some young British kids named Sam Hart and Tony Hart (and thus are likely brothers or at the very least related from what I can tell), following in the footsteps of a grand british tradition. I hope both Harts have grown up and live good lives now even in troubled. Back on topic, it was made when independent ...
