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.

Watch the trailer below.

"Inside Out" Is Pixar's Best Film in Years

Pixar established themselves as the pinnacle of animated filmmaking with films like "Toy Story", "The Incredibles" "Finding Nemo" and "Up!". There's even gems to find in their lesser films, such as "Cars" or "Brave" that set the studio apart from other animators such Dreamworks. However, despite their output remaining better than the competition, it has been awhile since we've seen the creativity of the studio in full swing; not since the final installment in the Toy Story series has a Pixar film truly been 'great'.

I'm pleased to announce that's changed with their latest outing, "Inside Out". Pixar doesn't just meet the bar that they set for themselves with their classics, but they exceed it. "Inside Out" is far and away the studios greatest film.
