Apatosaurus on Ice!

The wonderful exhibit “Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries” will soon be coming to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and to promote it the museum has commissioned a special TV ad that can only be described as “Apatosaurus on Ice.”

Unfortunately, though, some people might think this is a bit of false advertising. There are no ice-skating dinosaurs in the exhibit, but the commercial is very impressive all the same! If you want to know more about how it was made, see this article from VFX World.

    Nice. Probably owes something one very large ape’s recent ice capades but still nice.

    That’s pretty cool.
