More Dinosaurs

Gary Owen is the amiable host of this cornucopia of dinosaur lore. Since the coining of the word in 1841 by Sir Michael Owen, dinosaurs have always held a immense fascination for children, young and old. The spate of Hollywood films--from The Lost World (1925) to Baby (1985)--attest to this ongoing curiosity. In addition to movie scenes, the program features a trip to Vernell, Utah--home of the Dinosaur National Monument--and New York City--where the huge beasts have been meticulously reconstructed at the N.Y. Natural History Museum. Although dinosaurs perished from the face of the earth some 65 million years ago, interest, especially from young people, is still flourishing. Highly recommended.
