Actually I'm quite fine with that, at least it doesn't break the law of science and nature.
But that's the problem, it does :P the magazines I see them in encourage children to give their "dinosaurs" eight legs or fire breathing or three heads

childrens media will forever be scarred with stupidity whenever animals (dinosaurs or not) are involved :(

Can't say I'm surprised, the media has always had a thing for poisoning young minds. :P

Even before Witton, it was known that azhdarchids didn't look anything like that. :P

even back in 50's pterosaurs were better known than that
and yes, I am referring to actual material published during the 1950's, not just being facetious

that thing you posted, in an anaconda with wings
sounds like an asylum movie

Why does everyone hate that movie? I'll admit calling it WWD was a mistake, but I enjoyed it.

At least the animals weren't.lip syncing and they didn't have human faces.

Exactly. Also, while the original WWD obviously did a better job with the behaviour of its animals, the movie paid closer attention to anatomical accuracy IMO (scaly gorgosaurs and skinny edmontosaurs aside).

Well, that I agree with. I liked it enough to get it on DVD, though. :P

All you need to do is resound it and remove all the Voices and BAM, you got somewhat a mix of WWD and March of the Dinosaurs
