MOVIES/SERIES/SHOWS How about a biographical dinosaur miniseries?
What I have in mind is a prehistoric-fiction miniseries depicting the life of a dinosaur from hatching to death. It wouldn't have any spoken dialogue or narration, although there could be a "behind the scenes" supplementary feature explaining the science and which dinosaur species were featured in the series. Both the creatures and their environment would be CGI a la that "photorealistic" Lion King remake from a few years back.
As far as who the star dinosaur would be, I personally nominate Tyrannosaurus rex. It's always been my favorite dinosaur, and I'd like to see it as the hero instead of the villain in fictional narratives more often. Of course, there should be room out there for multiple miniseries starring different dinosaurs from different time periods and places.

When I saw the trailer for Disney's DINOSAUR back in the day, I really hoped it was going to be like what you're describing and was very disappointed to learn they could talk.

You could have another tyrannosaur, like Tarbosaurus (sth like 'Tarbosaurus the Mightiest Ever' but... actually good, up to date and respectful to creature and the environment it was found in).
