We had Inside Out during the Summer, and now we’re gearing up for Pixar’s second effort this year, the much troubled The Good Dinosaur. While it has had it’s fair share of problems (being delayed quite a bit and changing its entire voice cast at the last minute), this final trailer does show that it will be an absolutely beautiful experience, even if the photorealistic environments are at odds with the cartoony character designs.
This is also the most we’ve seen in terms of story, which makes sense since they had to re-voice everything, and while it may seem overly familiar (almost like an inverted Finding Nemo), the Pixar heart is still there. The numerous set backs had me soured on The Good Dinosaur, but I do find myself warming to it again.
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.
