    My buddy was a producer at Pixar and her big project was The Good Dinosaur so we got to go to the red carpet premiere here which was cool but the movie wasn't so good and she quit because she didn't want to make Cars 34 and now she's back to writing.

    Toy Story's teaser is easily the odd one out of Pixar teasers. Up until The Good Dinosaur, Pixar teasers tended to use little to no footage of the film itself. But Pixar wasn't established as a CG film studio yet, and the CG here alone was enough to intrigue audiences.

    I'm sorry but I will forever keep bringing this dumb movie up because it is one my biggest animation hot takes 🔥 The Good Dinosaur is Pixar's weirdest film and its aggressively minimalist plot is a breath of fresh air from their typical formula

    Peter Sohn?!? Okay admittedly Elemental is literally the ONE Pixar movie I still haven't seen, and I know The Good Dinosaur was an extremely troubled production so MAYBE that wasn't his fault...but this literally feels like trading Remy for Emile. (Sohn voiced Emile, dat's da joak)

    The internet is so reactionary about production processes that they see "The Good Dinosaur guy" and act like Peter Sohn is some Pixar boogeyman. When the guy basically got promoted to try to salvage that movie (and ended up making a ridiculously pretty film btw)

    my pet theory for where Pixar went wrong (besides the Disney purchase): The Good Dinosaur was a great movie aimed straight at kids. it explicitly wasn’t a melancholy treatment of parents’ middle age anxieties and so was derided. contrariwise, at Inside Out all the kids were climbing the walls bored.

    I've long felt "The Good Dinosaur" is a far more thoughtful and well made film than most give it credit. It commits to the quiet atmosphere of its world and makes it the whole movie. Like the beginning of Wall-E, but throughout. A good video essay defending its skill youtu.be/vVSiyoz6XnA

    The only discourse I’m participating in today is that my son was mainlining Disney/Pixar movies today and Encanto was excellent and I have to say I get why people were disappointed with The Good Dinosaur, but if you manage expectations it’s a perfectly cromulent kid’s movie.

    At this point, Pixar needs to do a multiverse (or time travel, depending on your Pixar universe theory) movie where they all have to team up to learn a lesson about life. Wall-E is there. Luca. Mei. The Good Dinosaur. The Tom Holland one from Onward. The Kyle MacLachlan dad from Inside Out 2.

    The Good Dinosaur is honestly an underrated movie and while it was the first official PIXAR flop it did win over some people. A young Apatosaurus named Arlo gets lost and finds a cave-boy named Spot (with roles of boy and dog reversed) as they go on adventure to find Spot's family across the land.
