The Good Dinosaur – Available on Blu-Ray Today – Check Out These Bonus Features!

I know you've all heard of it by now. The Good Dinosaur is one of the most popular movies on the planet. Then again, aren't all Disney movies? This movie is so special because it tugs at our heart strings. Who wouldn't love a Dinosaur and his pet boy? Wait, did I just say pet boy? Yes, I said that right. The concept of that in itself is quite interesting. The movie is so much more than that. It's an animated film that touches on important subjects, like the power of live and the importance of facing your fears head on. It also show children that you can find friends anywhere, as long as you have an open mind. It isn't too serious, though. Just like most Disney films, it's filled with happiness, humor, and love. This is a movie that your kids will want to watch over and over again. And maybe you will “accidentally” keep watching it after they go to bed.

The bonus material is also a must-see in The Good Dinosaur. I personally loved the commentary because it's fun hearing the thoughts of the director. The Sanjay’s Super Team short is so cute. The kids will love it and want to see more! We all loved watching the RECYCLOSAURUS bonus feature because we get to see how competitive the Pixar team can be! It's fun to see the creative minds at work. Also, the deleted scenes are awesome to watch! We've watched them about 3 times already because we just love everything about The Good Dinosaur!

While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.
