Pixar’s second movie of 2015, The Good Dinosaur, has had its fair share of trouble on its way to the big screen, what with a change of director and voice cast, but it will finally be coming our way this year, and a new trailer has come our giving us our best look yet at their dinosaur centric buddy comedy.
While it does a great job of setting up the world and story of the movie with no dialogue whatsoever, the marrying of the photorealistic backgrounds (similar to those seen in the Pixar short, The Blue Umbrella) to the more cartoonish character designs doesn’t sit right with me. Sure, it looks beautiful, but they are completely out of sync. Of course, Pixar has always been about story over visuals, and the usual charm is there, so the jury is still out on this one.
Released: 25th November (U.S.)/ 27th November (IRL/U.K.)
Synopsis: The Good Dinosaur asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? Pixar Animation Studios takes you on an epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo (voice of Raymond Ochoa; “The Night Shift,” “Rizzoli & Isles”) makes an unlikely human friend. While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.
