Noctis Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 When Lilo throws her doll on the floor and walks away...only to come back a few seconds later and hugs it out of guilt. </3 The movie is a giant love letter to anyone who's seen as weird or different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Am I the one who thinks the dinos' reaction to the asteroid wasn't intended to be a joke? Seemed like a natural "What was that?" response emphasizing the fact that it's been rendered innocuous. We'd react the same way to a passing jet plane The sound effect clearly makes it a joke. Didn't laugh, saw it coming. Reminds me of every GOTG joke so hopefully this isn't like that. Anyway, I really want to see this because of the concept but the visuals for the dinosaurs are real awful. The T-rex side characters that Brazil already got promo for look like characters out of Ice Age 3. That was six years ago. Honestly boring choice of dinosaurs for characters and even worse design. What is the point of ripping off Ice Age? The trailer also doesn't seem to have a defined end. It had does and gives the feel of being incomplete.

Olive Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Part of the radical remodel of The Good Dinosaur includes a brand new cast. Raymond Ochoa, a young actor from NBC’s The Night Shift, will now play Arlo, the titular dinosaur (a role originally assigned to Lucas Neff); Jeffrey Wright, a wonderful character who has appeared in everything from Shaft to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, will play Arlo’s father, Poppa (originally played by John Lithgow); Frances McDormand will be Momma, Arlo’s mother (she was cast originally!); and Marcus Scribner from blackish will play Buck, Arlo’s brother (replacing Inside Out’s Bill Hader, who played a different brother called Forrest). Neil Patrick Harris and Judy Greer once played members of Arlo’s extended family, but those characters been deleted altogether (thank goodness we can get our NPH fix at Disney California Adventure with World of Color and California Screamin’). New characters and cast members include Steve Zahn, from Steven Soderbergh’s brilliant Out of Sight, as a pterodactyl named Thunderclap; AJ Buckley (Justified) as a T-Rex called Nash; Anna Paquin (True Blood) as T-Rex Ramsey, and the velvety voiced Sam Elliott, from cult classic Road House (and a million other amazing movies and TV shows), as a tough T-Rex named Butch. Additionally, Arlo’s human friend, Spot, has been cast, with Jack Bright (Monsters University) essaying the character. http://blogs.disney.com/insider/2015/06/12/meet-the-new-cast-of-disneypixars-the-good-dinosaur/?cmp=SMC|none|natural|blginsider|InsiderJune|TWT|dinosaurcast-DisneyPixar|InHouse|2015-0612|||esocialmedia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenUnicorn Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Bill Hader's not going to be in it? Aw man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenstate5 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Kinda bummed about Lithgow, NPH and Hader being thrown out. It's especially sad when you consider it was Lithgow who first slipped about how good the retooling was going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK007 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Three t-rexes. Original. Inside Out looks to be the exception in a decade littered with mediocrity from Pixar. Still don't know how no one sees how awful the character design and animation is. It's the trailer still. For Pixar, being as good as they are, it is an embarrassment. Sure, it's the story that counts, but it doesn't bode well when you could only come up with generic T-rexes as characters and then choose that kind of design. Awful. Expected more from Sohn who had a variety of different animals and species in Partly Cloudy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of off topic, but I find it strange how he's being cast in a lot of solemn roles recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 So how does JW's monster success affect this combined with the obvious goodwill Pixar is going to be riding high off of with IO? Despite all my reservations, this could end up being a huge hit after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 A lot of thinkpieces will be written in the weeks leading up to release on the fact that this will break out / bomb because of Jurassic World, but ultimately the only thing that matters will be the movie itself.

AniNate Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Telegraph profile of Pete Sohn + footage report http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/the-good-dinosaur/pixar-first-look/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) That heart was very much in evidence in a two-minute sequence that Sohn screened from the middle of the film, in which Arlo and Spot, sitting on the bank of a mighty river one night, draw symbols in the sand to describe how each one misses their families in this enormous, edgeless world. The scene has a piercing emotional directness that’s all the more acute for its essential wordlessness. Even though Arlo talks, and Spot growls and snuffles, the meaning of what they’re saying is carried entirely by their gestures and looks, and the warm lights of the fireflies that blink in the darkness. What immediately sets The Good Dinosaur apart from Pixar’s previous work – and, in fact, any animated film yet made – is the meticulous photorealism of its backdrops, which have been rendered in such dizzying detail that Sohn had to explain a shot of raindrops delicately drizzling down the leaves of a trailing plant wasn’t live-action footage, but a clip from the film. The dinosaurs themselves all look ineffably Pixar-ish – imagine Rex from Toy Story with a million-or-so more points of physical articulation – but the landscapes look like images from an Ansel Adams coffee-table book, with wide, snaking rivers, plains of silvery grass, and claw-like mountains rising up to rake at crowd-strewn skies.

BK007 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'm such a sucker. If Sohn isn't bullshitting, and the T-rex don't play a major role at all, I'm getting excited again! Love that the core of the story is two characters communicating without speaking the same language. Come on Pixar! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) I'm less confident in my over IO club, but I'm more excited for the actual film. Sounds like they're taking cues from WALL-E with regards to the script. Edited June 16, 2015 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenstate5 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 It's kind of bizarre that Pixar is trying for a photorealistic background contrasting with the cartoony character designs. It's eerily like Disney's first CGI project "Dinosaur", which actually was live-action/animation as the characters were dropped into real filmed locations.
