Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur"

"Inside Out" is still making gains at the box office (currently sitting at $490 million world wide) and is already the frontrunner for the Best Animated Feature award at next year's Oscars, but that hasn't stopped Pixar from moving forward with their next project.

"The Good Dinosaur", originally slated for release sometime last year, will be heading to theaters just in time for Thanksgiving. Featuring the voices of Academy Award winners Frances McDormand, Anna Paquin, and child actor Raymond Ochoa (from "American Family") the project was completely re-tooled after it was pulled from last year's schedule. Bob Peterson ("Up") was replaced as the director by a Pixar employee Peter Sohn, according to Entertainment Weekly.

It looks like half of a survival story, and the other half being a odd friendship story; the animation looks very cartoonish in a way many Pixar films haven't before. To be honest, it looks downright adorable.

Though the odd production troubles have raised a few eyebrows, I'm definitely intrigued. The first trailer is does a better job at showing than it does telling, which is fine for now. I'm sure more of the voice actors and more of the plot will be revealed at a later date, but there are hints that the extinction of the dinosaurs will be a plot point, or at least addressed in some way. In any event, after the crazy high "Inside Out" left me on, I'm confident that Pixar can still make magic.
