“The Good Dinosaur” is a trademarks of Disney Enterprises, Inc.
I can appreciate the goofier style of the dinosaurs for a kids movie, but the main problem was the environment was SO beautiful; individual leaves and pine needles, realistic looking water, THOSE LIGHTING AFFECTS! All of that clashed so badly with the style they chose for the characters themselves.
A bad story is a bad story
I felt the same way. If they done slightly more realistic dinosaurs, like what they have done to the fish to Finding Nemo, it would have done much better.
It's crazy to me the lack of research they made, especially as their OLDER ones, like Nemo, had so much accuracy involved, with small, amazing details.
to be honest Arlo reminds me of the many Spore creatures I see. It's the legs. So Spore-like.
The Toontastic Toon yo tf i remember you, probably way back when i was called seel
As a Dinosaur collector, I can assure you that there are plenty of Sauropod figures that get the feet right.
+bioniclesuarus I also collect dinosuars and the legs on what's his face were to skinny
BOB.org I got here from that video lol
BOB.org Genius xD
BionicleSaurus wow I'm a big fan of you Can't believe I found a video that you commented on 👍
my goodness, as an animation enthusiast, I didn't agree with you at first. But as I kept listening to you talk, you convinced me on how cool it would be if they had someone like you on the team! I would like to see Disney or Pixar create a film with a scientific advisor on their side next time!
Hermes The Loser It’s crazy too because Pixar took SO much efforts for having science influence the artwork and story in Finding Nemo that it’s a shame they didn’t utilize it here. 😞 Nevertheless the environments and water effects were freaking incredible...
oh hey its Hermes
Little1Cave it really is they did that with all their films. I would've preferred more realistic dinosaurs with some cartoon characteristics. Like in finding nemo. The characters don't look like they belong in the movie.
XWierdThingsHappenX Yeah when I found out that the project was in development hell and was tossed around between multiple directors and writers, I wasn’t too surprised.
Little1Cave, yeah!
I love the way how they represent the Trexes in the movie. Instead of using the cliche of making they a gang of villains, they made a family of ferocious but good beast, without needing to make they vegetarian(why do you think they take care of bisons? I dont think it was for they milk).
+Rexog I take it you're a Texan ;) I enjoyed the character of the rexes too; they were a lot of fun and very endearing!
+The Doodling Dino Not even close, hehe. But I agree with you. I also liked the fact that they made sure to show that the raptor. Not very accurate but it is something.
+Rexog I'll give it to them that the portrayal was definitely funny :)
+The Doodling Dino the Raptors in the movie they portray is somewhat having a Skin Disease. Once you have this Disease you cannot regenerate your hair, unless you have to apply a medicine that can cure the Disease, you can see this type of thing in Birds even in Stray Dogs.
The All Knowing Ankylosaurus also they are Ranchers, they value their precious Longhorn mostly as Pets. But if there is an occasional hunger they use 1 or 2 as food source.
Your design would have worked much better in the realistic environment of the actual film instead of the wonky apatosaurus they had.
+martin caspary-smith Thanks martin!
+The Doodling Dino I love Wyoming
The Doodling Dino umm this may be an odd question but, I have been wanting to draw an amargasaurus but I don't know what hunted it so I was wondering if you knew..
It Just an Kids Movie 🎥
Joshua Gonzalez, a good kids movie should be good for everyone.
From what I could gather, after working at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center, Disney-Pixar did come to the museum for scientific advise to make the dinosaurs the film. However, they did this by trying to interview my supervisor, Andrew Rossi. He described the event to be "awkward" since they only contacted his boss, who didn't give him the questions to prepare for the meeting. So, he was forced to improvise during the interview. In the end, while comparing what I've learned from Andrew and what I've seen in the movie, they didn't seem to use very much of his knowledge in it at all.
I think the drawing you showed at 16:30 would have been a rather cute design for Arlo in the film.
+mjangelvortex Thanks! It was a fun experiment :)
The Doodling Dino
You're very welcome. Do you plan on doing the other dinosaurs from the film in the future?
+mjangelvortex Good question! Possibly, although usually I review a film once and then focus dinosaurs in the real world. If they do a sequel though, definitely!
+The Doodling Dino The only other dinosaur in the film that existed 65 million years ago in the Cretaceous was Parasaurolophus.
***** Well yes.
The dinosaurs were higly disappointing in this movie. Good movie overall, definitely enjoyed it, but _why_ did they decide to make the dinosaurs so... goofy looking?
I don't get why they couldn't have been more anatomically accurate. I don't mind the bright colors, it's an animated kids' movie after all, but that doesn't mean they can't look more realistic.
It's a Disney film, dude! These dinosaurs were made to look goofy because, well, Disney movies are usually cartoonish. Especially Pixar movies. You shouldn't set your expectations that high for a dinosaur film if you know its by Disney.
waterbottle Disney usually has pretty realistic animals...look at zootopia and the way all the mammals looked and acted.
Yeah. Looking at films from The Lion King to Zootopia, they get mammals and such pretty accurate. Why not this one?
Maybe only Don Bleuth can dinosaur right. XD
artemecGaming 40, zootopia was by Disney, the good dinosaur was by Pixar
One thing I really disliked about the Good Dinosaur is sure, the characters looked like dinosaurs, but other than that they weren't dinosaurs. And the human characters looked like humans, but other than that they were dogs. If you reshot the entire movie and changed nothing aside from turning Arlo human, and turning the boy into a dog, it'd be the exact same story. What you wind up with in the actual movie is just a really uncomfortable human boy. At the end it would have been far better if it turned out the boy was raised by wolves all along and had no 'real' family, and could potentially be heartwarming as arlo accepts the boy back into his own or something.. it was a good movie but just couldn't get past how the characters just weren't used to their fullest lol
I was more concerned about how they portrayed the raptor rustlers. While the DID have feathers (finally!) I still found them still a bit underfeathered, only having feathers on their heads, backs, and tails. Could you do a rendering of Bubbha the gang leader if he were accurately feathered?
The first time I saw the raptors I thought they looked like they were sick! They all looked like they have some kind of mange or skin disease that made their feathers fall out.
Your username is pigcist
not to mention the pronated hands. eeeuugghhh
And they still have their hands pronated... like why? They don't look cool, they look like they have bunny arms! I don't understand the media and their preception of dinosaurs.
@@sergiubleoca9917 well I never really had a problem with pronated hands, and if you want accurate dinosaurs, just play some saurian.
From my limited study of dinosaurs, birds are dinosaurs too
16:29
That design looks adorable, wish that was in the movie
Oh cool the Jurassic park novel got pterosaurs right, Alan Grant described them being almost like bats covered in fuzz
This was an interesting show. As much as I love sauropods, I didn't like the character design for Arlo. It is interesting to look into some of the more obscure real animals for inspiration. There is so much stuff out there, that can make dinosaurs fresh again. I learned about alamosaurus for the first time. How interesting. 16:30 I like these sketches. They are a big improvement.
I wish The Good Dinosaur had realism, like Disney's other Dinosaur movie (from 2000). Sure, there were some inaccuracies in that film, but it certainly wouldn't have made as good of an impact if Aladar (an Iguanodon) looked cartoony, or if the villain dino, the Carnosaurus looked cartoony.
Roukera Sati the carnosaurus was actually much slimmer and smaller in real life with his arms facing backwards from his body, so it wasn't completely accurate
Non of Pixar's other films had much realism, so why should this?
If the asteroid never happened, maybe the large tyrannosaurs would continue for a short time until during the Paleocene/Eocene global forest stages they would be in decline. Meanwhile, a neotonous mutation allowed the juveniles of tyrannosaurs to reproduce while still in their young form and eventually created a new group of tyrannosaurs that were adapted to living in the global forests better than their larger adult versions of their kind. And by the time the forests shrunk by the end of the Eocene, the new smaller tyrannosaurs, being small to mid sized, speed and agility, intelligence and hunt a variety of prey, would be adapted enough to survive on the new open areas, and create new lines of tyrannosaurs.
That would be my idea of how tyrannosaurs would far in this alternate timeline.
+Cody Lake Interesting speculation! It's fun to imagine what the world would be like if evolution had taken a different course.
Cody Lake. Or Tyrannosaurs die out and animals like Dakotaraptor take the Mantle
Quite the piece of work you made here! While I did love the story and characters, the visual design of the dinosaurs themselves was a huge hindrance and stopped me from enjoying the film more than I did. Not just because of the inaccuracies, though I admit that was part of it. It was also because of how much they didn't fit in the world they were in. They were overly cartoony and extreme disproportional, and this made it hard to feel like you were in there with them. It was definitely a missed opportunity from Pixar, and quite the disappointment in that regard. Hopefully future dinosaur films will learn and not make the same mistake.
+scorpiopede thanks for your comment and thoughts! You make a compelling argument about the design contrast between the characters and environment. It was an interesting choice that Pixar Made, valid but not for everyone.
I want an accurate anime version of Jurrasic Park. Yes, I know i'm crazy.
You think after having animators go through a marine biology course for finding nemo they'd at least do a Google search to see what dinosaurs lived during the asteroid impact.
Imo disney/pixar has been pretty half hearted with movies lately and it's a bit disappointing seeing how much love went into the older films.
Lovely sculpt, I would've much preferred this design and passion put into the film.
Actually as far as I know, there is one Titanosaur from Australia which still had a thumb claw, called Diamantinasaurus ;)
But Alamosaurus most likely did not have them.
Also, not only just early Pterosaurs had teeth. Some Pteranodontoids like the Tropeognathids and Caulkicephalus had teeth and lived during the Early Cretaceous.
I LOVED this sculpt! And I agree, You can be both scientifically accurate and yet still have an amazing and beautiful movie! People should Understand this!
Man, your work is just AMAZING!!!!
Also, If i ever do my idea of a novel with scientifically accurate, you're on my hit list for illustrators.
+Sidharth Santosh Thanks Sidharth! I'm honored!
Technically, the Caulkicephalus, Guidraco, and Ludodactylus (referred to as Coldfront and Downpour) had teeth, but they, like many of the other animals were placed in the wrong time era.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Windgust (not actually mentioned in the film but seen in the last two pterosaur scenes was the name given to the Guidraco.
The sentiment at 17:13 is so true! I always think that creative and magical ideas are so much better and more interesting if they're rooted in science.
My god he’s making lost dinosaur actually look good
I think the "Styracosaurus" is meant to be a Diabloceratops, but that wen't extinct 14 million years before the extinction.
I never watched the film for one reason: The dinsaurs dont look like dinosaurs.
The T-Rex seemed okay like the raptor, but the protagonist? Looked more like whata 3 year old would create with Playdo
Amazing work! I love your scientific input into these designs. Much appreciated.
+Snow Mystique Thanks for taking the time to send the boost note!
16:31 absolutely LOVE the sketch! It's adorable and fascinating at the same time. Looks adolescent and powerful at the same time. Emotionally vulnerable yet self confident.
i feel like we can give them the benefit of the doubt for the theropod wrists. The bipedal dinosaurs (and even the pterosaurs) all seem very dexterous, so to give the idea of being both somewhat human-like and the idea that they can fully manipulate objects, they would have the ability to turn their talons whichever way they really want to, including the classic jurassic park style. the characters could likely turn their palms towards the sky (which they mighta in the movie but im too lazy to check) if they wanted.
Loved the video btw! I ight just need to subscribe! ; )
Holy shit I just realised its been 2 years since the movie came out.
Love that you kept the cartoonish style while still portraying the animal represented more as it was. Awesome!
We need future dino movies like this
I don't like tumblr, but I gotta check you out! I love dinos, mainly raptors and now I have something to be enthusiastic about! :D
+Miss-Jazz-DaFunk Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I agree, raptors are the bomb! Let me know what you think of the blog!
It's amazing! Sorry for spamming with likes, but your art is too good! XD Blessings!
No worries! I'm glad you enjoyed the blog enough to "like" it!
I liked the overall idea of what if the meteor never impacted the Earth and never killed the dinosaurs, but there's still much that could have been done to make the film better. I love dinosaurs, and I want to see more stories exploring the possibilites if dinosaurs were never whiped out.
Just found your channel, and I am instantly in love. Don't stop making videos.
Actually, _T. rex_ probably did have feathers - while, true, genes responsible for integument are very few, the same rule applies to Tyrannosauroidea that applies to every other clade; if basal members have a feature - e.g. _Yutyrannus huali_ and _Dilong paradoxus_ being preserved with feathering - it's likely that every member of the clade probably did have that trait, as it would be a 'synapomorphy', or a derived trait for that clade.
It's the same reason why all mammal species retain hair (even cetaceans; although there is little, as natural selection likely caused a reduction in cetacean hair growth, since hair could theoretically affect the swimming speed of these animals). The most basal mammal species all got hair from the first mammal, which probably got hair from one of it's ancestors, and ever since mammals have had hair.
So, what possible cause would there be for more derived tyrannosauroids and tyrannosaurids therefore to not have feathering? There would be little cause for natural selection to 'de-select' hair in the evolution of said species.
One might argue that larger tyrannosauroids/tyrannosaurids had a sufficient body mass so as to forego insulation from feathering; and that is true. What isn't true, however, is the typical misconception that these animals would overheat in their environments if they had feathering.
Feathers don't just insulate animals, but also cool them down; they effectively keep an insulatory layer of air around their bodies that keeps the dermal temperature and the body temperature constant; some air escapes, but very air gets in. So, in hot conditions, these animals are actually cooled because the layer of air their feathers trap in is cooler than the external environment. And in colder conditions, vice versa; that layer of air is warmer than the external environment, so keeps the dermal and body temperatures of the animals warmer.
It's something to that effect - I'm not sure on how it totally works, but a good example is _Casuarius sp._, which has black, long feathers - surely it'd overheat in it's tropical environment? It's a big bird... well, it doesn't. Nor did the moas, since they still retained pretty long feathers.
Anyway, that's why _T. rex_ probably did have feathers.
Well I doubt they were fully covered in them
@@user-mp8wy8lp4y Yup. Probably not a whole lot, but some.
*ONE YEAR LATER*
mm, yes
*NO*
This makes me feel better. I am usually a killjoy for pointing out (contemporary) scientific inaccuracies in animated films. Yet, like Josh, I heartily agree that you can be scientifically as accurate as you can be...AND have fun!! Isn't neoteny wonderful.
Ps. Your speech at the end is awesome, it literally sums up how every dinosaur lover feels with hollywood film. Dinosaurs can still be fun and accurate! :)
+Alex Pritchard Thanks Alex! I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
I like to imagine the hippo once had an equal apex predator to its apex herbivore reputation. Other than man, it really doesn't have that. If we found their bones millions of year from now, bearing in mind that most other land mammals are hairy, should we assume the hippo is hairy too? Sure, it has some hair, but it's not what we'd call "hairy." Same applies to dinosaurs.
You should make other designs for other characters in the film, like the pterosaurs, the rexes, and the pet collector
To be fair wanting a bit more realism to it seems completely fine to me just considering that Disney had made "Dinosaur" a movie that was pretty accurate to what we knew at the time, or at least was really striving for realism... Then of course Pixar has previously shown great realism and cartoon mixes before with better accuracy to the original creature than is shown in this film. (good examples in my opinion can be finding Nemo and that Piper short film).
This was absolutely amazing. I loved every single thing about this video. Thank you for taking the time to share your art and knowledge.
The Good Dinosaur wasn't just missing the things you mentioned in the video. I wanted to like this movie overall, but I found the world and the story... empty. Even with the amount of intricate detail the world provided with, and with the likable characters, the movie failed to give me the feeling that the world and story were alive and real.
I can compare this film with Finding Nemo, which in a way takes place in a large environment like The Good Dinosaur. However, Finding Nemo's advantage was that it gave me time to like the characters and learn about them. And by the end of the movie, they all came together after a long journey of reuniting Marlin with Nemo; a satisfying ending.
The Good Dinosaur had Arlo and Spot explore the alternative state of Wyoming while meeting new characters as well, but most of those characters were very two or even one dimensional; serving as just a plot device for comic relief or to help guide the characters along their journey. They could've used the environment, the one element in the ENTIRE movie that Pixar spent the most time on, to be a character itself for most of the movie. Instead, it was mostly used as a point of conflict for killing Arlo's dad, for the end of the film, for serving obstacles for Arlo and Spot, and mostly just to serve as eye candy for the audience.
Honestly, I believe that The Good Dinosaur may turn into one of Pixar's most overlooked film ever produced (which is slightly worse than having a reputation of being a bad movie, because at least people will at least remember it for being an actual movie that was produced) I'm not saying the movie was bad, it just wasn't as enjoyable as I expected it to be; being a Pixar film an all. I was filled with disappointment knowing that Pixar managed to make a film that would bore me (I enjoyed Cars 2 more, and that film is considered one of Pixar's worst films ever!).
And like I said, it's not a bad movie. I think it serves more as a graphical experiment for Pixar. After all, COCO came after and that film is a masterpiece
i like how they got a prehistoric buffalo steppe bison or steppe wisent
My least favorite thing about The Good Dinosaur was that not all the dinosaurs from the toy line were in the movie.
Will you make redesigns for the other characters too? I'd love to see them.
ikr
I agree with your proposition. What I am really put off by with this movie, which I could not watch all the way through, was the ridiculous caricatures used for all the creatures. To claim that this is done to make them more appealing to children does children a disservice.
Your voice is so soothing and comforting
I would have been very impressed if they had made the dinosaurs as realistic as the backgrounds, but I've always been a fan of cartoon charcters against realistic backgrounds. The style has thus charm for me, I love it!
0:27 They need you in Jurassic Park. THEY FORGOT THE VELOCIRAPTOR'S FEATHERS!!!!!! And Rexy (The T-Rex) should be covered in a layer of monochrome fuzz. (Translation: Can you please do a video reimagining Jurassic Park/Jurassic World's dinosaurs accurately? I would really like to see Owen Grady surrounded by accurate versions of his raptor squad.) I imagine Blue with teal/colbalt blue feathers (It's in the name), Delta with dull purple feathers, Echo with dark green feathers, and Charlie with either orange or goldish yellow feathers.
16:28 :O I love that sketch, I want to see that movie!
what i'm gathering here is that a LOT of dinosaurs were extinct BEFORE the impact, what if the impact never even happened... could the dinosaurs have STILL gone extinct on their own?
The so called velociraptor was under feathered too
Not related to the styles or anything, but I actually really liked this movie. I know a lot of people didn’t but I thought the story was cute and it caught my attention. I loved the relationship between Arlo and Spot, it reminded me of how easily friendships can form and how sometimes you have to say goodbye for the best. Also I loved the idea of humans and dinos coexisting
i'm not sure why people keep complaining about the position of the claws of the dinosaurs in this film. a big part of humanization of animals is hand movement. alot of human gestures are universal. there are alot of things wrong with how they dipicted the dinosaurs in this film. but seeing as it is suposed to be a cartoon with sentient dinosaurs of a cartoonish nature, the claws are really something you need to have.
+ValforWing Good thoughts valor! I don't necessarily agree, but I appreciate your insights.
The Doodling Dino
for the quadruped charecters they have more facial expressions, the bipedal charecters have some interesting expressions useing their arms. when the rexes move in this film they are suposed to look like cowboys on horses, the legs have that look, the arms look more like they are holding reigns. your ideal about them have'nt hoofshaped prints was an amazing idea. i think the apato in this film was WAY too elephant like. personally the apato in the land before time seemed more realistic.
+ValforWing Thanks for your thoughts! Absolutely, there was some excellent anthropomorphization that went on in the film. I wouldn't change that. Having grown up in Wyoming surrounded by cowboys, I loved the treatment of the rexes; they nailed it. However, correct arm articulation would not have harmed that look. In fact I think it would have enhanced it. Tyrannosaurs aren't the only ones who don't hold their arms like bunny rabbits. Cowboys don't either. They hold their elbows out, palms facing in, often with one thumb in a pocket. This position corresponds well to the way T. rex actually held its arms. A little more research, or hiring an expert to consult on the designs, would have helped the look in my opinion.
I like your concepts. Got more character to them. I found that a bit lacking in the movie when it came to there designs.
And I do agree that one should reality more as a source of inspiration then hindrance to creativity.
*"In a world were dinosaurs never went extinc"*
Thank you!! I too feel like this movie lost its wonder when they chose to make the dinosaurs so “cute”. I love the movie Dinosaur, it’s realism was so refreshing compared to most Disney films, and I feel like audiences would be receptive to a realistic kids dinosaur movie (that’s not written for 3 - 8 year olds like Walking With Dinosaurs was).
THAT COUGH SCARED THE ELEPHANT OUT OF ME.
Disney is never going to get their dinosaur models right... -_-
Jurassic world didnt get it wrong. Remember they are geneticly modified. A good quote from BD Wong was "You asked for more teeth."
Alternate title: why Alamosaurus was the most rootin-tootin dinosaur to ever exist.
So cool!!!! I wish I had that chart at 2:07 cause I want to make charts of monsters over 400 ft.
Imagine having as cool of a job as a dinosaur expert
I really love your best and great work on the dinosaurs
16:33 This is my favorite sketch presented! So cute!
It's nice to see more people that actually care, and want dinosaur movies to be much more accurate/entertaining, than just blatant monster movies or ripoffs just taking notes from Jurassic Park! Which I've seen many, many of! As for this movie! I though it was just okay (6 out of 10)! But, it could've been much better, and Pixar should've use both the environment, as well as the many of the new things, we now know about dinosaurs/other prehistoric animals to the movie benefit!
I like your version of Arlo. Realism aside, the scutes etc. give him a bit more texture and character.
I wonder if they made the dinosaurs like this so they could animate them easier, but also put more focus on the environment.
Awesome, love your channel dude!
''Running" (galloping) Sauropods were always a weird thing for me to see in movies like this and the Land before time. It just doesn't look physically possible, factually or hypothetically.
The only pterasaurs in jurassic world with teeth are dimorphodon which had teeth, and Henry justifies the dinosaur inaccuracies by saying that by replacing the missing DNA with the DNA of other animals the dinosaurs look completely different
I really enjoyed this video. I think it would be awesome if you did more like this. With the scientific dialogue along with the artistic correcting speed through video. There are plenty of scientifically inaccurate dino movies to pull from.
I think the biggest issue with the dinosaur design was that pixar knew they had to either do them super hyper-realistic to match the scenery, or make them the opposite - cartoony characters and designed purposely to contrast the environment. Maybe anything in between would look too much like the uncanny valley, or it would look like they tried to make the dinosaurs look realistic, but weren't able to. Sorta like the dinosaurs from 2001 Dinosaur.
Also, they wanted the dinosaurs to be characters little kids can relate to. Making them hyper-realistic would run the risk of making Arlo unrelatable. And we all know how that new Walking With Dinosaurs movie went, where they tried to make realistic dinosaurs be childish characters, and I think Pixar really wanted to avoid that happening. Thus, they went with the much more cartoony, characterized, child-friendly (and very marketable) designs.
That said, it would have been nice if the creatures were a bit more interesting. Some extra scutes and ridges would have been at least cooler than all that unscientific, round, smoothness that was going on.
Half the reason I clicked on this video was because it is Josh cotton and I met him so was familiar with his work
dinosaurs had feathers and when the dinosaurs died the power vacuum let human slowly evolved to fill that vacuum.
I like both CGI and Paleonthology, this video is great
if Arlo was an alamosaurus i wouldve loved the move so much more
True, true. I go crazy when movies get these things wrong! Btw I was sketching artistic renderings of dinosaurs while watching
I had no clue it took place in Wyoming. My grandparents and other family members live there. My mom actually lived there before she moved to CO.
The main reason I can never like the Good Dinosaur is because they decided to go for the simplified versions of epic dinosaurs. When I was little, I saw realistic dinosaurs that were badass, so it was sad for me to see this movie make them into something so, toy-like. That’s what I thought when I saw the trailer for the movie. They open with a shot of beautiful realistic dinos and I got excited; until they showed off Arlo. All my interest in the movie was lost in a snap. What’s the point in making those beginning dinos so awesome, then all of a sudden bring in play-dough? I know it’s meant for kids but like I said, back in the early 2000’s and 90’s they had dinos that were real-looking and that made them so much cooler. It just made the movie feel like it was only made to sell toys to gripey little kids
The drawing of an accurate Arlo looks kind of like an anime character
OMFG 3:32 HORNEY DINOSAURS I KNOW IM YOUNG BUT WOW OMG
I imagine it's easier to make the stuffed animals without any scutes.
If the asteroid didn't hit the Earth, the Dinosaurs would've already been extinct, due to volcanic eruptions, sea levels, and how the Earth had crazy temperatures.
If I'm wrong, just tell me what I said was wrong okay? ;>
Le Doggo if the volcanic eruptions were that bad, moths (being an indicator species that would be extremely sensitive to such air pollution ) would have went extinct as well. As for sea levels and crazy temperatures, the dinosaurs were insanely adaptable as a whole. They would have lived on and evolved to new and different forms.
Yeah, I think the non-avian dinosaurs were doomed to become extinct, regardless of an asteroid impact. Also, I think there was even another asteroid impact somewhere in Asia, but I could be wrong about that one.
I've heard a theory that a lot of volcanic activity during the dinosaur extinction was actually caused by the asteroid's impact.
Awesome work at this model !
Low-key wanna see what you've got to say about the dinosaur inspired monsters from Monster Hunter World ( namely Anjanath )
But this is great, holy heck 👌
Adding "a little fuzz" would add Soooo much time to the animation process
Even Disney's Dinosaur did better with their pterosaur accuracy than this.
Well it is PIXAR.
Bullshit, they already did hairy characters like Sully from Monsters Inc. and Merida and the bears from Brave.
Woah the good dinosaur is based in wyoming?!?! I've lived in wyoming the past 5 years and last year for my first semester I took ecology and we took a lot of field trips so I got to see a lot more of wyoming than I have before. We even went to UW and down to the Loveland living planet aquarium. We went to the kill pecker sand dunes too and I found a fossil! It looks like a trilobite but I think it's a different macroinvertebrate.
a styracosaurus actully didn't have the three hored face like a triceretops, the creature collecter was pixars version of a triceretops
Very good video, and very nice version of Arlo. If they had looked more like what you did and talk about, I'd probably have seen the movie a long time ago. probably would have been waiting for it to come out... But they went with the stupid, meh classic 50's look of the dinos. :( I'd love to see a pixar movie with accurate dinosaurs.
they should've picked quetzalcoatlus for an antagonistic pterosaur
I like how you used halo reach music for the trailer segment
I wish apatosaurus was replaced by alamosaurus in the good dinosaur. I am so into dinosaurs and I love to animate them in blender thats what I am practicing on now
liked the model editing tips
The Good dinosaur was nice. I just felt the animals seemed to cartoony compared to the realistic backgrounds. I get they were more evolved than the original, I just felt that they needed to have the realism (and accuracy) scaled up on this movie.
Nice redesign and i agree in what arlos species is supposed to be
Personally, I think all dinosaurs had feathers and/or quills of some sort. And that most prehistoric marine reptiles weren't completely marine.
Pydros Music I would agree with that first statement with the exception of maybe sauropods due to lack of any real evidence in their evolutionary relatives, but your second point is a bit more risky. I think most of the marine reptiles lived more like whales or dolphins nowadays rather than sealions or walruses, mostly making the sort of amphibian lifestyle slightly harder. Would be cool to find something that fit that niche though.
cool video! Amazing work on the model pluss it was educational!
