  Ha ha ha. Making ancient sharks and reptiles look like monsters is easy. I don’t think it quite worked with the turtle ancestor. He looks like the nice kid trying his best to be scary but not quite pulling it off.

  NEAT! I’m surprised there aren’t any ammonites in the previews. Oh wait they don’t look scary AT ALL. The repetitive jaw-snap zoom-around was starting to get to me by the third video, so I hope they have more diverse animation in the full-length…

  What the heck, I’m still excited to see this. =)
