which was used for Avatar (2009), Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), and live 3D sports broadcasts.

Music Paul Leonard-Morgan composed the film score for Walking with Dinosaurs. He joined the production in July 2013. The German Film Orchestra Babelsberg performed the score at the Babelsberg Studio in Potsdam, Germany, this available soundtrack available on Sony Classical and WaterTower Music. where it was recorded. Engineer Rupert Coulson then mixed the score at AIR Studios in London, England. Leonard-Morgan then went to Los Angeles, California to dub the music for the film. Leonard-Morgan's score was one of scores from feature films that were determined by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to be eligible for the Academy Award for Best Original Score at the 86th Academy Awards, though it was not nominated.

In its final version, the movie has a narration and goes inside the heads of the animals, so you can hear what they're thinking."
