The Good Dinosaur

The ThawedCast: Conversations About Animation

Alex, Bridget and Philip discuss 2015's 'The Good Dinosaur' from Pixar Animation Studios. This film was the directorial debut of Peter Sohn, and the second Pixar film release of its year following 'Inside Out.' While it underperformed at the box office, it was a stunning technical achievement in combining Pixar stylization with hyper-realistic environments and physics simulations. The film is set in an alternate reality where humans and dinosaurs co-exist and possess similar intelligence. The dinosaur protagonist, Arlo, is the smallest member of his family and struggles to keep up with chores. He eventually gets separated from his father when the two of them attempt to track down a critter who has been stealing their food. Severely lost following a bad thunderstorm, Arlo finds the critter, a human boy, and the two attempt to make their way back to the dinosaurs' farm.
