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.

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.

@whizofdisguise9541 7 ай бұрын

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!

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.

Outside of the bad writing, cliche'd plot, and annoying lead who just screams for most of the movie, one of the most jarring things I don't think people acknowledge is just how horrible the dinosaur designs are compared to the rest of the animals and environments. The dinosaurs don't look like they belong in that world whatsoever with their cartoony designs compared to the gorgeous photorealistic designs for the world and its other creatures. It was the first time where I actually felt like criticizing Pixar's animation techniques.

@StormX6 2 жыл бұрын

That’s exactly what I was saying. The dinosaurs look terrible. It’s just such a stark contrast between them and the rich, beautiful environment they’re in. 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.

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...

@cintronproductions9430 2 жыл бұрын

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!

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.

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

I really wanted to like this film, but other than how pretty it is... It's not worth the runtime it got.

Lol. This was my exact reaction to the first time I watched Avatar in theaters and couldn't understand why it was so popular.

At least it's... Original? Like unlike lion king 2019, it didn't actively destroy things.

The more I see Good Dinosaur the more I realize that the movie had more effort in its music and visuals than everything else

If this was a movie like Spirit, I think it would've succeeded. I think the dialogue and the rushed plot and scenes really buried the coffin

the designs are definitely one of my least aspects of this film. They all feel way too safe, they didn't take any risks here and opted to give the public more generic looking dinosaurs when in reality these animals were far more beautiful and diverse than we can imagine, especially when you put feathers and extra soft parts into the mix. just think about how beautiful some birds are today, you know, the living dinosaurs. And I'm not really sure why there would be humans and buffalo since uh, they couldn't have evolved if non-bird dinosaurs didn't die out. Oh and the writing was pretty bleh. At least the VAs tried.

This movie would’ve been great without dialogue tbh, just was more peaceful and powerful without the constant screaming and whining of Arlo.

Sharks have been around for 450+ million years. Long before dinosaurs. Before there were trees. Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Actually...yeah.

I personally loved the zealot pterodactyls yelling “The Storm provides” while hurting innocent creatures..it was a nice allegory for some institutions today. I wish they had taken that idea and ran with it the entire story..would’ve beefed up the film. Either way this film is purely wasted potential..thanks for the deep dive!

I think it would have been interesting to see a metaphor for traumatized young adults seeking solace in any sense of security they find, and occasionally being lured into cults. This group seems to find strength in the very thing that traumatized Arlo. That could have been very tempting for someone who’s been weak his entire life. But then he could have had the personal strength to avoid the cult and work through his trauma in a healthy way. Edit: fixed grammar

I would love if they introduce or at least mention Quetzalcoatlus as well, being the biggest flying reptile around the size of adult T. rex, the other pterodactyl would see them as some sort of worship figure, or the avatar of the storm, if you will, it tied perfectly with its name being based on Aztec deity of winds and rain. Not to mention that it does live in same era as T. rex, and coincidentally, in area dominated by sauropod, as well (Alamosaurus, which what Arlo species should've been, considering Apatosaurus has long extinct before K-T Extinction event)

As a kid i found myself fast forwarding bc my first impression of it was, “it got boring after the storm and theres no more unique dinosaur farm life” so even as a young kid, i didnt like the movie. And kids like anything animated no matter what critics say

@BowAndBrush 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

To be perfectly honest, this movie made me appreciate disney's Dinosaur that much more, a movie that came out over 20 years ago now. That movie has stellar animation that still holds up, amazing soundtrack, amazing voicework, and is one of their darker toned movies, even if the plot is on the predictable side, its the way that movie handled it is why it's my most rewatched movie. This movie...was just.. eh. very eh and boring. Sam elliot was good though.

_Dinosaur_ is a great-looking movie with an amazing score, but the story is generic and the jokes are painfully, painfully unfunny.
