Disney has a dino movie, too: Checkout The Good Dinosaur’s full trailer

Dinosaurs — extremely vicious ones — have been the big story of the box office this year with Jurassic World relentlessly gobbling up ticket sales records. Later this year, however, we’ll see how a more friendly dino fares when Disney-Pixar’s aptly named film,

The Good Dinosaur, debuts. The full trailer has been released, sketching out the story of a lost dinosaur who stumbles across a human cave-boy and befriends him.

The computer-animated film takes place in an alternate timeline where the asteroid that is hypothesized to have hit Earth and made dinosaurs extinct misses, instead. In this B universe, a young Apatosaurus named Arlo struggles on his own after the death of his father. When the poor guy gets hurt and lost one day, he ends up far away from his home in the Clawed-Tooth Mountains. As he tries to make his way back, he comes across a cave-boy, whom (in a bit of archetypal movie role reversal) he names Spot.

It’s not smooth-sailing from there for Arlo and Spot, though. Arlo may be a plant-eater, but there are still big, scary dinosaurs out there, among other predators. On top of that, nature is a threat of its own. Based on the trailer, The Good Dinosaur will unfold into quite the adventure, while still managing to tug at our heart strings as Disney-Pixar movies always seem to do.

The combination of dinosaurs, Disney, and Pixar should be a winning one. Though Jurassic World overshadowed the opening weekend of Disney-Pixar’s latest flick, Inside Out (which still exceeded expectations with a record-setting debut), The Good Dinosaur may actually benefit from the blockbuster giant’s immense popularity. Dinos are huge right now so, all things told, we expect the response to be more than just so-so.

Though there isn’t much talking in The Good Dinosaur‘s trailer, the Peter Sohn-directed film includes the voices of Raymond Ochoa, Jack Bright, Neil Patrick Harris, Bill Hader, John Lithgow, Frances McDormand, and Judy Greer.

The Good Dinosaur hits theaters just before Thanksgiving on Nov. 25, 2015.

10 best movie trailers of 2023, ranked
Furiosa leans back on a wall of fire in Furiosa.

2023 is in the rearview mirror now as the holiday season creeps upon us, meaning it's time for the oh-so-fun season of year-end lists. While there will undoubtedly be dozens of lists commemorating the best movies of the year, it's important to note a smaller yet essential sort of video: the movie trailer.

A good movie trailer is composed of a lot of things, but the biggest aspect of a successful trailer is one that accentuates the hype of a movie while not spoiling the film itself. A trailer that spoils a movie's entire plot is the worst. It's also the worst, though, when a trailer leaves you so in the dark about the movie that a viewer feels no interest in the film itself. It's a delicate balance that only a few of the best trailers really smash it out of the park.

5 sci-fi movies on Disney+ that are perfect to watch in the summer
WALL-E reaching out to a ring system in "WALL-E."

When you think of Disney, the first thing you think of probably isn't science fiction. Over its long history as a dream factory, Disney has been known first and foremost for fairytales and flights of fancy, but science fiction and futurism have always been central to the Disney project.

Walt Disney himself was obsessed with the subject, and over their long history as a company, Disney has been associated with a number of the best science fiction stories ever told. And, thanks to some crafty acquisitions, it has also acquired several massive sci-fi properties. With all that in mind, these are the best sci-fi movies you can watch on Disney+ now.
