This stop motion short film, made in a garage in 1984, was the catalyst that launched the wild idea of creating an independent business whose sole purpose was to create animation for movies. And so began Tippett Studio. Phil sort of had an inkling that Dinosaurs might be once again popular as PB preceded a wave of popular interest in dinosaurs spurred on in 1990 with the publishing of Michael Crichton's book, Jurassic Park and the subsequent blockbuster movie by Steven Spielberg in 1993.

It's still very impressive and atmospheric even today.

No problem! I love it ...so much better than the chopped up one they used for the documentary. I would love if he put it out on dvd..even make some new scenes to add the Anatasaurus ones he did for it..tie the whole thing in together.

Cool fact, the name Prehistoric Beast actually came from that scene in the stop motion Lost World or maybe Kong ( I'm having a brain lapse it seems ) where they kill the HUGE Stegosaurus and the guy says " Something from the dinosaur family ? Yes Jack, a prehistoric beast. "

I think it's the Lost World because they made the Stegosaurus species in Jurassic Park the Lost World the same size as an homage as well.

I reckon someone today ought to make a stop-motion film with up-to-date dinosaur models. I know we're all accustomed to what digital gloss is capable of these days, but that's entirely beside the point.

I would be great if Tippet did some new Dinosaur work as well.

Seconded. It'd probably look better than a lot of the cheap CGI used in many dino docus.
