The Good Dinosaur, Adventure-themed Animated Film

The Good Dinosaur is an animated adventure-themed film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures. The film, directed by Peter Sohn, premiered on November 10, 2015, in Paris, France. The film begins with a scene of an asteroid rain that hit the earth 65 million years ago. In scientific studies, we all know that the asteroid rain caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

However, that is not the case in this film. A pair of dinosaurs, Henry and Ida, survived millions of years later. They work as farmers and are now happily waiting for three eggs to burst. The eggs contained none other than their children.

Beginning of the story

That said, after hatching, the children of the dinosaur pair were named Libby, Buck, and Arlo. Of the three, Arlo is the weakest. He is the youngest child, aka the youngest, and is often bullied by his two older siblings.

The main plot of this film tells about the adventures of Arlo, the coward, and a brave human boy named Spot. Both of them are as adventurous and passionate as they are impressive. As responsible and caring parents, Henry and Ida divided the tasks among each family member. Arlo’s cowardly nature seems to make it difficult for him to do the tasks his parents give him.

Event after incident they went through together, starting from eating fruit that made them shiver, walking along a cliff edged by a cliff, to meeting the evil Thunderclap who wanted to eat them.
