The Good Dinosaur is an American 3D computer-animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It was released on November 25, 2015 as the studio's sixteenth feature film. Infamous for its Troubled Production, which resulted in the original director, longtime Pixar writer Bob Peterson, leaving the project due to story problems and being replaced with fellow regular Peter Sohn.Set in an Alternate Universe in which the dinosaurs never went extinct, the film follows Arlo, the youngest of a family of Apatosaurus farmers living in the shadow of the Clawtooth Mountains (Wyoming's Grand Tetons). One day when he's chasing after a "critter" - a human child - who's been eating from the family's food stock, Arlo falls into the river and is swept away by the current. Now Arlo, accompanied by the human boy, whom he names Spot, has to face his fears as he makes his way through the wilderness to come back home.For the other major Disney film revolving around dinosaurs, which in contrast to this fully CGI film stars CGI animals in real-life backgrounds note we know the CGI is really good in this film, but it's not real backdrops!, see the page for Dinosaur.The Good Dinosaur played in theaters along with Pixar short Sanjay's Super Team. | |

Trailers Always Spoil: Where do we start? The trailers covered Poppa's death, Arlo's friendship to Spot, the meeting of Forrest Woodbush, Arlo helping the cowboy T-Rexes, Arlo encounters the main villain, Thunderclap and also the climax. In short, the trailers just showed you the entire movie. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| The Good Dinosaur / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: The very existence of humans and bison in a scenario where dinosaurs never became extinct. In fact the very reason why mammals evolved into larger and more diverse forms was to fill the empty niches left by the dinosaurs' extinction, though in the case of the bison it was probably to add non-sapient livestock to deal with the Carnivore Confusion of civilized Tyrannosaurs eating civilized herbivore dinos. While all dinosaurs, and pterosaurs by extensionnote or "all ornithodirans", with Ornithodira being the archosaur group including both dinosaurs and pterosaurs are portrayed as sapient, it comes off as strange that birds are just unintelligent animals, an odd choice as birds ARE dinosaurs, and in fact the lineage with the most advanced brains. Sauropod eggs were generally spherical, not shaped like oversized hens' eggs. Also, eggs that are tapered at one end are shaped that way so they won't roll far when disturbed as they lie on their sides; setting them fat-end-down negates the purpose of a tapered shape, and might even impede the embryonic dinosaur's ability to absorb oxygen. Pterosaurs couldn't grasp things with their feet, and even if they could, they were far too light to be able to lift a juvenile Apatosaurus. The giant beetle dies instantly upon being beheaded by Spot...even though real-life insects lack blood pressure and don't bleed to death, and have accessory brains in their torsos. In fact, beheaded insects are known to live for days or even weeks, only dying since they can't eat and succumb to starvation. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| The Good Dinosaur / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers make it look like the storm that Arlo and Poppa are caught in causes Arlo to wash down the river away from Poppa. Also, it makes it look like Arlo meets Spot after he is far away from home. However what happens in the film is that Arlo encounters Spot before Poppa's death. Spot was a pest eating the family's crops and Poppa tasked Arlo to trap and kill him, but Arlo couldn't bring himself to do it, which prompted a disappointed Poppa take Arlo out to track down Spot and finish the job, where said storm causes the flash flood which kills Poppa. After that tragedy, Arlo blames Spot for Poppa's death and the two get into a scuffle only for both to end up in the river and washed far away from home. | |

Carnivore Confusion: Addressed. The Tyrannosaurs avoid eating other dinosaurs by being presented as a family of cattle ranchers. The raptors want to prey on their bison and are presented as rustlers. The pterosaurs pick off small and weak creatures, and are presented as lying bullies who exploit natural disasters in order to find vulnerable prey. | |

Dumb Dinos: Averted with Arlo and the other dinosaurs, who are fully sapient.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? | |
| The Good Dinosaur / int_2e528f4e | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: At one point Spot attempts to bring Arlo random things to eat, one of which is a lizard that's still alive and a giant beetle that's still alive. The lizard looks about as cartoony as everyone else and Spot promptly tosses it away. The beetle looks like an actual photorealistic beetle, and Spot promptly rips its head off. Onscreen. Two more insects are later eaten onscreen, played for laughs. When a big-eyed, fluffy critter resembling a raccoon or a lemur is eaten onscreen, it's played for horror. | |

Artistic License – Paleontology | |
| The Good Dinosaur / int_4c4bebf4 | comment |
Artistic License – Paleontology: Apatosaurus went extinct before the meteor hit. Even with the Alternate History, Arlo should not exist. That said, other sauropods, namely the titanosaurs, did live all the way to the mass extinction, so with his generic Cartoon Creature design Arlo can be Hand Waved as some kind of titanosaur. That, however, doesn't explain the T. rex family's encounter with "outlaw stegos", as Stegosaurus lived in the Jurassic: a full 80 million years before T. rex. On a minor note, the scene in which the asteroid misses Earth shows a Parasaurolophus — while they did live in Late Cretaceous, they lived only around 76 to 73 million years ago, 7 million years before the asteroid hit. The four-legged snake Spot fights is supposed to be a Tetrapodophis, but is shown to more closely resemble a viper as opposed to the actual animal which was more lizardlike in appearance. It is also considerably larger than the real Tetrapodophis. It could be a descendant, given the Alternate History setting, though it does raise the question on why snakes would retain their legs if the mass extinction never happened. | |

| The Good Dinosaur / int_57cd63e6 | comment |
Art-Style Dissonance: Downplayed; While the movie is not exceedingly grim and and has lots of moments of lighthearted downtime and levity, the film is a still a grounded coming-of-age story that takes itself mostly seriously and does not sugarcoat any peril or trauma characters may experience. All of this is done with rather cartoony and exaggerated character designs. The designs also clash with the look of the world, namely the photorealistic environments. | |

Herbivores Are Friendly | |
| The Good Dinosaur / int_6660aaf | comment |
Herbivores Are Friendly: Played pretty straight. Herbivores are described as being the "farmers" of dinosaur society, and Arlo does indeed come from a family of frontier dinos (subsistence farmers). On the other hand, there's mention of "outlaws" such as the Stegosaurus gang Nash fought off. However, the Tyrannosauruses also turn out to be farmers as well...though they don't farm plants, they farm animals. | |

Raptor Attack | |
| The Good Dinosaur / int_695efde3 | comment |
Raptor Attack: The Velociraptor have a patch of feathers on their heads and spines as well as tufts on their legs and at the end of their tails, but they are otherwise scaly and glaringly lack feathers on their arms (the one place on Velociraptor that's known to be plumed). There's also the fact they're much larger than the real animal, as with many portrayals in media. On the other hand, they have proper long and narrow snouts as opposed to the broad Deinonychus-like skulls perpetrated by Jurassic Park. | |

Truth in Television: Henry and Ida are loving parents, but their children appear to have been partially born out of a need for help around the farm; one of the first things they do is show their newborn children the property and explain that they'll all be taking care of it together.

Terror-dactyl | |
| The Good Dinosaur / int_906a72da | comment |
Terror-dactyl: Thunderclap and his clan are a band of hostile pterosaurs that are the closest to actual villains in the film. They all have very inaccurate designs: Thunderclap himself bears resemblance to a Nyctosaurus...except that he has teeth, birdlike talons, and wing claws, which Nyctosaurus did not have in real life (especially the wing claws, as nyctosaurids are distinctive for lacking those). The other pterosaurs appear to be Ludodactylus, Caulkicephalus, and Guidraco, which also have birdlike talons. However, the pterosaurs are quadrupedal like in real life, but they walk on their knuckles and their arm anatomy is more bird-like. Supplementary material simply calls the pterosaurs "pterodactyls". Thankfully, the merchandise also describe them as flying reptiles and one children's coloring book explicitly states they are not dinosaurs. | |

The four-legged snake Spot fights is supposed to be a Tetrapodophis, but is shown to more closely resemble a viper as opposed to the actual animal which was more lizardlike in appearance. It is also considerably larger than the real Tetrapodophis. It could be a descendant, given the Alternate History setting, though it does raise the question on why snakes would retain their legs if the mass extinction never happened. | |

Giant Equals Invincible: Averted: Arlo may be huge, but the world is far bigger, and natural hazards and obstacles will often make him vulnerable. Sadly, the same goes for his Poppa, who may be a giant, but is killed by an even more giant flood... The Tyrannosaurus family are large dinosaurs bigger than Arlo but when fighting the rustler Velociraptors we see even they are vulnerable when an individual Tyrannosaurus is gang attacked by two or more Velociraptors. | |

Since his son is a Cowardly Lion, he tries to get him to do his chores but he keeps getting scared due to the hens attacking him. Poppa Henry eventually thinks that the best thing to do to toughen him up is to have him kill a pest. Then when that fails, he take him into a treacherous storm to help him conquer his fears. Papa Henry’s rash decision making ends up getting him killed and leaving Arlo traumatized and developing a new fear for storms. | |

Alternate-History Dinosaur Survival: The movie is set in a world where non-avian dinosaurs (along with pterosaurs) never became extinct and Jurassic dinosaurs like Apatosaurus and Stegosaurus coexist with Cretaceous dinosaurs like Triceratops and Parasaurolophus and even prehistoric mammals like the giant bison Bison latifrons that existed in the ice ages. | |

In Spite of a Nail: In real life, the reason mammals (and by extension, humans) that we're most familiar with evolved and diversified the way they did during the Cenozoic is because dinosaurs went extinct, as mammals evolved to take over the now unoccupied ecological niches. | |

Coldfront and Downpour then start a fight against their leader where all three of them start tugging for the last scrap of food before Thunderclap pushes both of his lackies down to remind them who is in charge. | |
