I don't really care much about the CGI ( I have a greater tolerance for this kinda stuff), it's just the back to back paleonotology scenes that are annoying. That being, I unironically like this T Rex design more than the Prehistoric Planet one. It looks robust without looking like a lardass.
 
I remember watching an episodic TV show about a dinosaur zoo created by going back in time through a portal to bring dinos into our time. Like Jurassic Park meets Stargate and it was on US tv in the early-mid 2000s. Not sure the channel or when it originally aired. The CG was good enough for child me to believe it could be real one day.

I also vagually remember watching some of the US version of Walking with the Dinosaurs. Just found out it was narrated by Avery Brooks(Sisko in Star Trek DS9). More vivid memories of the knock-off NatGeo short documentary Sea Monsters and tie-in Nintendo DS game:

The documentary is a mix between paleontologists talking about discoveries and a short narrative about a sea-dino to keep the kids entertained. The gameplay is like the first stage of Spore, but instead of eating to increase your creature's size you're searching for fossils to unlock new monsters.

You're thinking of Prehistoric Park starring Nigel Marvin. It was made by Impossible Pictures, the same studio behind Walking with Dinosaurs.
 

All I know is hearing Fortunate Sun accompanied by booming drumbeats while watching GIs fight dinosaurs awakens something in me.

I'm surprised it didn't get an 80s nostalgia reboot, even if it was just kiddie Netflix schlock. Which, to be fair, would be the right way to revive a kiddie toy commercial.


And yeah, I had one of the toys. It was a deinonychus.

iirc the gimmick of "the dinos are science accurate" got me a lot of mileage with my mom on getting some of the toys
