Pixar may be one of the greatest in the industry.. but everyone flops somewhere. And The Good Dinosaur is unanimously seen as the worst Pixar movie of the bunch. It's boring, unimaginative, cliched, and very very unmemorable. In fact, I DON'T remember it from when I watched it years ago. So what went wrong? Why is it so bad? And why did they make the choices they made? Come join me as we find our in our last video of 2021 - Pixar's TERRIBLE The Good Dinosaur...

…What a surprise. It's like, the emotional moments ARE there but... everything else is so cliche ridden and overly realistic that this doesn't feel like a full project. It is literally like some tech demo by Pixar, through and through.

@amiaswolfgang 2 года назад

Absolutely. We all know that Wall-E is as powerful as it is because of the extremely limited dialogue, we know they can do it right because they've done it before. A concept like that could have really improved the film overall. That or just a better script in regards to the dialogue. Most of Arlo's dialogue really feels like the first draft of what someone should be writing, dialogue that feels good written on paper but not great spoken. It's like they wrote the outline of the dialogue and didn't attempt to flesh things out beyond that, at least when compared to how I write dialogue. It's not easy to be able to write in ways that sound naturally verbally, but again we know Pixar is very very good at this, so I guess we'll all be left wondering why they fell so flat here. Hopefully there's some parallel universe out there where The Good Dinosaur is one of Pixar's greatest of the 2010s if not at the top of its catalogue, just sad that that universe isn't this one.

Arlo’s dad death is one of the laziest death scenes I’ve seen. His death scene was done just for shock value and it wasn’t a meaningful death like a betrayal or sacrifice. He died because he and Arlo went on a journey in a rainstorm. If he died because of Arlo’s incompetent and cowardice, that’d have been so much better. Also, why do we not see the mother or siblings reaction and why did they never seem to care that Arlo has been missing for who-knows-how-long. Gosh this movie could’ve been so much better. It had beautiful landscapes and some emotional moments and I like that Spot didn’t speak during the movie actually but the writing really fell flat.

@catholicfemininity2126 8 месяцев назад

@whizofdisguise9541 7 месяцев назад

Not just that, Arlo's dad practically died because of his own stupidity! It was a very good idea to chase the pest a.k.a. Spot through a storm while also losing track of him. And what did he get? Arlo got injured and he got himself killed. The logical thing to do was wait for Spot to return (he does so in the next scene, since they have plenty of food). But of course, nobody acknowledges this. Never speak ill of dead parents in Disney movies!

@JohnWall-lj1mx 2 месяца назад

@goingunder2548 2 месяца назад

I know they pretty much ripped off the death from The Lion King, but the key element that made Mufasa's death so much sadder: Mufasa was his own character, not just the protagonist's dad, who was there to fill in the space for 'dad'. His relationship with his brother, his philosophy, his leadership and his own individual parenting style were clearly communicated. He pretty much embodies how (most) of us view our dads at Simba's age - as the greatest man alive. None of this was present in The Mediocre Dinosaur

The Good Dinosaur was such a missed opportunity. It could have been one of Pixar’s most memorable movies. A story about cavemen and dinosaurs living at the same time, as well as a story of a scared kid learning to not be afraid is a cool concept for a film. but there just isn’t anything about the characters or story in execution that makes it memorable or worthwhile. I’m just gonna say it, this is my least favorite Pixar movie. At least something like Cars 2 was a “so bad it’s good” movie.

The whole premise is wasted. The idea was "What if dinosaurs and humans lived alongside each other?", but the execution was just "What if dinosaurs had dogs?". Spot was just a human-looking dog. They could have made Spot any species, and nothing would change. It's like the goal was to make a coming-of-age movie, but one part of the creating team wanted to make a dinosaur movie, one part wanted to make a boy-and-his-dog movie, one part wanted a western, and they all compromised in the worst way.

I don’t like how much they wasted the concept of humans and dinosaurs co-existing with each other, and seeing their interactions. The fact that Spot acts like a dog really bothers me since it completely disregards the the fact that Spot is a human. They should’ve made him bipedal and at least capable of things humans could do back then, such as make weaponry out of rocks and start fires. This movie is literally just a test for landscapes, and it takes such a good premise and mangles it. If they wanted to test landscapes, don’t take a shit on a genuinely good premise and don’t make it a theatrical release; considering this movie has barely any plot.

Usually Pixar has a good balance of cute and realism in their character designs like in Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Up, and even Brave. But here the dinosaurs are just so weird looking.

I don't consider this movie terrible, but I find it incredibly disappointing. They could have done so much with the idea of intelligent dinosaurs forming a society. Also, to this day I'm mad about the fact that the toyline of this movie has species such as Ankylosaurus, Triceratops and Stegosaurus, and these toys have NAMES, yet these characters do NOT appear in the movie! The toyline lied! Again, wasted opportunity. Also also, because of this, the world, as beautiful as it is, feels so... empty... Besides Arlo and his family, the T.rexes, the raptors, the old Styracosaurus and the pterosaurs, there's barely any dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures crawling around. The Land Before Time and Disney's Dinosaur showed a much larger variety of species but this movie has fairly empty landscapes with few creatures inhabiting them. The movie would be way better if they actually included more dinosaur species and showed actual worldbuilding, showing a society of intelligent dinosaurs living together as a community, with the Apatosaurs being the backbone of the community, doing most of the farming tasks, with Stegosaurs and Triceratops doing other tasks in the community, such as carrying loads or pushing stuff, and the Ankylosaurs could be miners, breaking rock and ore with their tails, and hadrosaurs like Parasaurolophus could be lookouts, alerting the community of danger with their head crests, and Therizinosaurs could help out by using their long claws to till the soil or cut down crops... ugh! So much wasted potential!

@kylendorsey8583 2 года назад

I agree, I also love your idea on the movie’s worldbuilding better than what we actually got 😒. But ironically The Good Dinosaur’s original story (Bob Peterson’s take) was supposed to have something like this to build on it’s premise. But due to some story problems Pixar replaced him with his partner Peter Sohn who then decided to scrap the story and characters in order to start again with a more simple story. So on one hand perhaps a simple story could’ve helped them not get confused with the movie’s plot, but on the other hand having a simple story about a boy and his dog in the old west is no excuse to wasting your concept about dinosaurs in the first place especially since the more you think about the more you start to realize that the boy & his dog plot and dinosaur idea could’ve been told in their own separate movies.

You can really tell they wanted to push toys which is neutral, but they focused so much on making the characters toyetic that they forget to give them any distinct traits to set them apart from every other cartoony dinosaur. I swear I had like five generic brand little kid dinosaur toys that looked very, very similar to Arlo, maybe a different color. That isn't exactly great for getting people to want to buy your designs. They couldn't even pick an interesting sauropod to base them on, and it's not like all sauropods looked like Littlefoot, some had long whip tails, others had cool neck frills and spines and they didn't even give them distinct markings beyond some very faint mottling, Sauropods aren't the single most interesting dinosaurs in the world but they could have done SOMETHING to make the family look interesting. The one T rex and the pet collector were neat looking though.

@AdmiralStarNight 2 года назад

This is the discussion I’ve seen around the stegosaurus. He is a vision of what Arlo could become if he doesn’t conquer his fears. He is too scared to do anything and uses a bunch of cronies while constantly staying hidden in the trees. He is fearful, too fearful. While Thunderclap is the opposite. He went too far in his conquest of his fears and became a bastard and murderer, pretending to be good by rescuing people and allowing the storm to rule his life in a different way. Arlo needed to learn a balance, not be paralyzed by fear, but not become an arrogant person because of his conquest of fear

Nah, you're not the only one, I find it annoying too, it was annoying in Frozen and it's annoying in The Good Dinosaur. If you want your character that is not a dog to act like a dog give them a reason for the weird behaviour... they could explain Spot's acting like a dog because he was eaised by wolves or something, but the other cavemen also howled and acted doglike... they should have either stuck with Arlo and dog plot or made adjustments when switching Spot's species. That Spot was treated like a pet did not really bother me so, I figured since dinosaurs are more evolved and intelligent they would look upon other species as us humans do - we might love our pets, but we don't consider them equals (for the most part). When Arlo and Spot start communicating and start developing a kind of friendship it's actually a clever commentary on our own relationship toward animals... the message would be stronger IMO if Spot actually acted like a human more...

My best guess is that they trade the eggs to carnivorous/omnivorous dinos but we don't see any evidence of that and they don't seem to have anything they couldn't have made themselves so idk.

@@SJPace1776 Sharks have evolved substantially - the great white is less than ten million years old and the goblin shark certainly wasn't around 400 mya. You're not making any point whatsoever.

I saw this in theaters and my biggest takeaway from it was the Zootopia trailer before the movie started. I was 10 and didn't care about how stunning the visuals were, it was just boring to me.

And that's what Disney is still about. Good visuals but mediocre story. Compare that to Sony's Spider-Verse. Spectacular visuals with a great story.

Humans turned into furries when the meteor didn't hit? I guess Zootopia is the secret good dinosaur sequel

The thing is, I would’ve liked this movie, but Arlo is an issue for me. I hate his character. I understand he’s supposed to be the runt and the one who’s scared easily, but he’s more than that. He’s a spineless crybaby. I get he’s a child, but he’s not that young. His siblings and him hatched on the same day, he’s just a minute or so younger than them, and they seem around an older teen age to me. So don’t say anything about that. He’s just.. ugh. He’s scared of every single thing. His constant screaming, crying, and just doesn’t even try. He’s a coward who doesn’t try to be brave until the very, very end and that does *not* make a good point across. He barely tried at all to put aside his fears and that just really irked me the entire time. And to be honest, I’m not a fan of the one color only for the dinosaurs and how cartoon-like they look against the more realistic backgrounds. It just looks tacky to me, but I can understand not everyone thinks it’s visually bad. That’s just my take and personal pet peeves with this movie.

While the voice acting wasn't bad, this movie suffered from the dialogue falling flat, everything trying to either be a joke or forcibly create an iconic, quotable line. I think if the movie went the Wall-E route and had the characters communicate via actions and fleshed out more scenes instead of jumping from place to place it could've been quite good. The visuals were fantastic, the plot just fell flat and the unnecessary dialogue bloated the runtime

Fun Fact: In Bob Peterson draft of the film, Arlo was 17 years old and 70 ft tall. I think he was into studying bugs too

As a dinosaur nerd I realized some things that Pixar got wrong with the dinosaurs; Arlo‘s dad has the body of a brachiosaurus even though the rest of Arlo’s family are apatosauruses? Also the first few long necked dinosaurs now the prologue are really outdated. I also didn’t like the overall design of Arlo because he felt too cartoonish compared to some of the other dinosaurs in the film. It just felt really rushed and basic. Something also felt weird with the pacing.
