Dinotopia

I love this mini-series

The written language is cool as well

They did try to do a series but it bombed.  I think it was due a little to casting and alot of continuity issues.  They need to make it so those who loved the mini-series could easly guess who someone is or be like "oh ok yea I can see that" unfortunatly in my opinion they Failed and doomed the series.
