Storyline
"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? In this epic journey into the world of dinosaurs,
an Apatosaurus named Arlo 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.

Technically Accomplished But Falls Short In The Storytelling Department
While the year of 2014
was the first in nearly a decade that didn't feature any film from Pixar
Animation Studios, 2015 marks the first time that this pioneering
studio has released 2 films in the same year. The first was Inside Out
which signalled a much-awaited return to form for Pixar after their
quality slump in the past few movies. The second arrived just recently
in the form of The Good Dinosaur that employs Pixar's signature thinking
process that begins with the idea of "what if…" and is a technical
marvel but purely from storytelling perspective, it's one of their least
impressive works.
Set in an alternate timeline in which the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs missed Earth, The Good Dinosaur introduces a world that's still ruled by these giant reptiles and concerns Arlo; the youngest member of an agrarian family of Apatosaurus who's unable to adjust due to his timid nature. But when a strange set of events separates him from his family & throws him in an unfamiliar territory, Arlo finds an unlikely friend in a human child and takes an epic journey through the wild to return to his home and in the process also learns to confront his fears & discover his true capabilities.
