(April 25, 2001 – Burbank, CA) - On July 3, Warner Home Video (WHV) will explore the incredible world of dinosaurs – the largest creatures ever to walk the planet – with a stunning array of entertaining and educational Jurassic-themed titles. Featured in this dynamic Dinosaur Wave of the Warner Explorations promotion will be the Emmy Award-winning documentary from BBC Home Video, “Walking with Dinosaurs,” and its outstanding sequel, “Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special,” along with other exciting titles from IMAX® and PBS Home Video.
