Take a scientific look at the animal kingdom's most imaginative creature in this stunning, "what if?" special. Ruling a make-believe world of fantasy and fairy tales, these terrifying, winged predators never existed in real life – but what if they had? Stunning computer-generated imagery from the same graphics company that created thrilling effects for Walking With Dinosaurs, Walking With Prehistoric Beasts and the latest Harry Potter movie provides a unique look at these creatures from the inside out. Learn how dragons would have evolved into a number of different species through the ages – Prehistoric, Marine, Forest and Mountain Dragons – and how each dragon species was endowed with physical adaptations and behaviors specialized for its environment. Marvel at in vivo shots of each dragon's internal workings and learn the theoretical biology behind claims that these amazing creatures were able to fly and breathe fire. Combining live action footage, natural history and state-of-the-art computer animation, it's a vivid journey through the annals of the fantastic past and an in-depth, scientific look at one of humankind's most storied foes.

I was SO excited I started calling my sister and cousin and best friend. LOL As the show went on and ...
I saw this when it first came out on TV when I was about 17 so when I saw the dvd on here, had to get it. I hadn't seen it advertise back then and happened to run across it about 5 minutes in so I didn't see the beginning. So ... being a gullible young girl, I thought they actually found a dragon which is kind of how they put this together to seem real. I was SO excited I started calling my sister and cousin and best friend. LOL As the show went on and neared the end I kind of caught up to reality and was like aaawwww... but I enjoyed the show none the less and it was great to believe for a while! haha

If you love dragons ...
Wonderful - and just as I remembered it from it's original showing on TV. If you are at all interested in dragons this is for you. It's a "Documentary" pretending to have discovered dragon fossils, and then proceeds very scientifically, and finally following the last dragon. So sad - you feel like you've really experienced the development of the original dragons' evolution to their demise as a species. Loved it. And afterwards a quick overview of the special effects magic used to produce this video. Interesting.

Such a wonderful concept !
This is a documentary that explains how dragons could be scientifically possible. They go into great detail about all the reported features of dragons & how that would be accomplished by physiology. They describe what organs would make fire-breathing possible & what they would eat to produce the necessary ingredients. They explain possible causes for extinction and why there have been no fossils found. They explain their interactions with humans. Very thorough. Narrated by Patrick Stewart.

Dragon's World same as Dragons
Our family watched this program when it first aired on the Discovery Channel and enjoyed it. When a Dragon's World-A Fantasy Made Real, You Too Will Believe was offered for sale we bought a copy. We bought The Best of Discovery Channel Volume 3, Dragons-A Fantasy Made Real not realizing it was the same program/material. One is narrated by Patrick Stewart the other is more like a movie with actors telling the story. Both DVDs are good productions but for the price make sure you want both versons.

I have both DVDs and I like them both
This is a shorter version of *Dragons World: A Fantasy Made Real*. This focuses more on the animal and less on the scientific investigation, and some of the narration is different also. I have both DVDs and I like them both. Recommended for those who like dragons.
