Experience a Single Moment in Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' Trailer!

Pixar dropped the first trailer for its upcoming movie The Good Dinosaur, in theaters on Thanksgiving. The theme behind the trailer is "a single moment," and how such a moment can change history and even, everything.

Gorgeous imagery.

Watch the trailer below:



One thing many fans (including myself) are a little unnerved by is the idea of pairing hyper-realistic backgrounds with cartoony characters, such as Arlo. I even noticed some of the dinosaurs, and especially that colorful lizard, are quite realistic when compared to Arlo.

Such a pretty little guy.

I can understand if it's a marketing thing -- a more cartoony Arlo will translate better to toys and won't scare children -- but at least make the rest of the film cartoonish in some sense.

Also, anyone else getting a The Land Before Time vibe? I'm excited to see how Pixar surprises us!

What are your thoughts on the trailer and The Good Dinosaur?

See ya real soon.

  1. I definitely see what you mean with the mixing of realism and cartoon-osity. I'm guessing we'll get used to it over the course of a whole movie, but it certainly is jarring in the trailer...almost like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

    1. Yes, I'm sure we'll get over it during the movie, but the first few minutes will be a little jarring. With "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," it looked a little more natural, since it was live-action versus animation, but this is all animation.
