Meek Mesozoic Mammal | |
| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_100070c5 | comment |
Meek Mesozoic Mammal: The documentary short centres around a primitive mammal (possibly a Purgatorius or Mesodma) surviving at the end of the Late Cretaceous. Even the smallest dinosaur shown, the Ornithomimus is a threat to it, and the narrator states how the dominance of the dinosaurs prevents mammals from growing larger or diversifying beyond tiny insect-eaters cowering in their shadows. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: If we're to take the short's title at face value, then it places the date of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event a full one to two million years after it occurred in Real Life. On the other hand, all species in the short are from Late Maastrichtian North America. | |

Aquatic Hadrosaurs | |
| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_44efa20d | comment |
Aquatic Hadrosaurs: The educational short film was made before the idea was discredited, and it depicts Edmontosaurus with webbed feet, paddle-like tails, duckbilled snouts, and fleeing from a Tyrannosaurus by diving into water (as though there were some unwritten law that Tyrannosaurus would sink like a rock). | |

| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_49f20c6a | comment |
Gory Discretion Shot: While the actual killing is shown in all its glory, the scene fades to black before the Tyrannosaurus can actually start eating the Edmontosaurus. | |

Roar Before Beating | |
| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_5c65fc1a | comment |
Roar Before Beating: The Tyrannosaurus does this repeatedly, giving its prey the chance to mount a defence or flee to safety (which is of course the reason real predators don't do that). | |

Riddle for the Ages | |
| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_96a33f11 | comment |
Riddle for the Ages: The short doesn't show or explain why the dinosaurs became extinct, only that they did. This is because the idea that dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid strike had only just been proposed, and did not gain widespread acceptance until the 1990s. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death | |
| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_9afa05c7 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Death: Despite being aimed at children, the short contains some surprisingly violent scenes. First, when the mother Triceratops catches the Ornithomimus eating her eggs, she impales it on her horn. The poor creature screams and writhes in agony as it dies, at which point the Triceratops scrapes the corpse off. Later, after failing to take down an Ankylosaurus and a mother Triceratops, the Tyrannosaurus bites and suffocates an Edmontosaurus, though the actual eating is cut away from. | |

Terrifying Tyrannosaur | |
| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_d2528a4a | comment |
Terrifying Tyrannosaur: Downplayed. While the herbivorous dinosaurs understandably treat the Tyrannosaurus with fear and hostility, it's not the unstoppable juggernaut of destruction it's usually portrayed as. It actually loses its fights against the Triceratops and Ankylosaurus, and only succeeds in preying upon an Edmontosaurus through a combination of luck and good timing. This is arguably more realistic than many examples of this trope, since predators in Real Life often come out on the losing side when faced with particularly large or well-armed prey items, and even less dangerous prey will frequently escape if circumstances aren't on the predator's side. | |

Mama Bear | |
| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_e13156e1 | comment |
Mama Bear: The mother Triceratops not only successfully fights of a Tyrannosaurus attack, but she also kills an Ornithomimus trying to eat her eggs (the mammal avoids the same fate by scurrying off before she can be spotted). The mammal has to survive not only for herself, but her offspring as well. | |

Tough Armored Dinosaur | |
| 64,000,000 Years Ago / int_e2153d9 | comment |
Tough Armored Dinosaur: The Ankylosaurus is shown being able to easily fend off the Tyrannosaurus with one well-aimed tail club to the face. The non-armoured Edmontosaurus does not fare quite as well. | |
