The first Warner Explorations event for 2002 is PREHISTORIC CREATURES, timed perfectly to coincide with both the theatrical release of the CGI spectacular “The Ice Age” as well as the broadcast of the stunning new BBC production “Walking with Prehistoric Beasts,” the long-awaited sequel to the Emmy Award-winning “Walking with Dinosaurs.” Additional titles featured in this dynamic first event include dinosaur-themed favorites from BBC, IMAX, National Geographic and PBS Home Video. As “The Ice Age” thunders into theaters on March 15, interest in the prehistoric period will be at an all-time high. To meet the demand for related product, Warner Home Video will re-price and re-promote a selection of prehistoric-themed titles from the leading special interest brands and will offer the all-new “Walking with Prehistoric Beasts” on VHS for $24.98 SRP (double-cassette) and on DVD for $34.98 SRP (double-disc).
