I came across this incomprehensibly gorgeous animation series by David James Armsby and I have not emotionally recovered from it. The love and respect he has for dinosaurs is tangible. I cried at least 15 times. His process videos are also very worth watching because of the sheer amount of preproduction work he does - including very large fully painted dinosaur sculptures(??!?!??!)

His work is the pinnacle of what 2.5d-styled animation can be. It's such a bummer that there's so much shit 2.5d out there because companies view it as an easier and cheaper route to 2d-style animation (I am subtweeting the Trigun reboot right now) when stuff like this or Arcane or the Spiderverse movies exist. Criminal.
Anyway, I'll be crying at animated dinosaurs for the next 5 hours.
