Benjamin Bartlett - Giant of the Skies

Kinda sounds like Scene of Immolation from Star Wars

I want this song to be played at my funeral/memorial service.

I want this series to be remade.

parece Hitchcok, algo de vertigo o similar... muy bueno!

The soundtrack to this whole documentary is just too beautiful for words. Every episode captures a different aura because of the musical pieces. This one is a true tearjerker….

Quite a few similarities between this and the "Denn alles Fleisch, es ist wie Gras" in Brahms' Requiem

Finally a rain of molten rock poisoned the atmosphere this masked the end of the rain of the dinosaurs. The comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with a force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs

This used to be my least favorite episode in the whole series. Not because it was boring, or inaccurate, or any other criticism you could throw at it. It was because of the death of the ornithocheirus. I remember bawling my eyes out when this majestic creature died, with this music playing. After a while I stopped watching the series as I grew up. Recently I came back to it, and after rewatching it, this episode is my second favorite in the whole "Walking With.." series, right behind Death of a Dynasty. And ironically enough, it’s one of my favorites for the exact reason I used to hate it. I appreciate what this show did so much. Sure, it may not have been very accurate, even for its time, and yes, the CGI is outdated. But what this show did more than anything was present these creatures as real living animals, with realistic behavior, instead of showing them as monsters or ruthless killers. It made these creatures seem real, and the presentation of the show was probably the best out of any dinosaur documentary in history. It may not be the most accurate, and it may not have aged well in certain places, but I appreciate this show more than any other dinosaur documentary out there. It's a masterpiece.

>dies a virgin
literally me

His life has run full-circle in his time he travelled but death finds him here the very same place where he first mated some 40 years ago..

My funeral song is bliss

Execs: we don't need anything too fancy, it's just background music for a dinosaur documentary.
Benjamin Bartlett: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I first saw this when I was 4 years old. I cried so hard lmao, the nostalgia

No maidens?

8 year old me was seriously devastated

Damn this still makes me cry almost 20 years later

The old ornitocheirus😞😭

As fantastic as prehistoric planet was it really doesn't even approach walking with dinosaurs from a story telling and drama perspective. I cant stop my self from being disappointed regardless of how silly that it might be....

Non Dino fans: It's just some music from an old documentary, why are you getting emotional?
The music:

Just finish Prehistoric Planet, fantastic series but none of the soundtracks come anywhere near close to this.

This series was incredible at best, controversial at worst. While it assumed a lot and passed on a lot of either false or incomplete bits of information as fact, the interest it garnered in dinosaurs will never be forgotten. I really hope this new paleo docuseries airing on Apple TV this month is going to be comparable to this series. Some of the most special videos in the world to me, these things.

What makes this even sadder is that the pterosaurs have no living relatives left alive today x( How beautiful these animals must have been.

This music reminds me alot of bioshock oddly enough

So every kid has a scene in cinema where something dies, and it makes the kid very sad. For some kids it's Mufasa, others have Bambi's mom or Little Foot's mom. For a bit, I thought mine was Gandalf's fight with the Balrog...but I think it might actually be this episode.

I couldn't believe he didn't cry during titanic

Do men even have feelings?

Men:

this episode hits hard

His life has run full circle. in his time he traveled the globe. but death finds him here in the very same place that he first rated some 40 years ago.

Watching the dinosaurs be swept away by the asteroid like they were nothing made me value life so much more. It makes me afraid of seeing family members die. And in a way since dinosaurs have been a part of my life since I was 2, I see them more as giant lizards. I see family

Whenever I watch this, despite it being an extinct creature made from rubber I feel like I've lost a family member

I didn't hear this tune for 10 + years, but just the first 20 seconds brought back all the memories man.
I actually watched the VHS tape so often that it broke.

Best dino documentary ever and it's not even close.

Walking With Dinosaurs. The only documentary that I know of that made me feel sad for a prehistoric reptile.

The thought that all species had or will have a biggest member to ever exist, and to die makes me kinda sad :-(

Hola paleopapus

when I see the Tropeognathus lay Dead on the Sand I was came with a Discomfort feeling since I was just like 5 years old and English was Second Language, rewatching the Episode took that Untranslated tears at once

This hits even harder as you get older and your own mortality is clearer day by day.

The 3 Soundtracks of extinction :
-Giant of the Skies
-No species last forever
-Permian Desert

The elder dying is the saddest part of the series

This series was so powerful. Great effects for the time and narrative spot on and very emotion driven

Ornithocheirus: So there I was, Reunited on the beach and I found a mate. Until I found a cowgirl who plays the violin. Her Name is Jessie, she has a owner name Emily. She stayed the same, until she found something she has never put on. A Lipstick.

This is so chilling

What an amazing theme..👏😢❤️❤️

The dislikes are from the tiny pterosaurus who got his food stealed friends

Anyone Listening to this while soaring through the skies on The Isle? :3
