Now available to purchase on Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD and Digital HD, is Disney's & Pixar's second computer-animated film from 2015 (the other being Inside Out), titled The Good Dinosaur. Directed by Peter Sohn, with a screenplay by Meg LeFauve, the film features the talented voice-cast of Raymond Ochoa, Jack Bright, Sam Elliott, Anna Paquin, A. J. Buckley, Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand and Steve Zahn.

The Good Dinosaur is set in a world where the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs completely missed the Earth. Millions of years later, the dinosaurs have evolved and can now talk. The film centers on a young Apatosaurus named Ario (voiced by Raymond Ochoa), who is the runt of his family. He is much smaller than his sister Libby (voiced by Maleah Padilla) and his brother Buck (voiced by Marcus Scribner), so small that he can't help his father (voiced by Jeffrey Wright) with the chores on the farm. To make matters worse for the Ario, he's deeply afraid of everything!

After a tragedy occurs, Ario must fight his fears to trap the creature that has been eating the food from the family's silo, which turns out to be a young caveboy (later named Spot). Ario chases the boy and accidentally knocks them into the river. He becomes unconscious after hitting his head against a rock. When he comes to, he learns that the river has taken him away from his home and beyond the mountains.

To find his way home, Ario must befriend Spot, as well as a few Tyrannosaurus, to venture into the unknown prehistoric land and finally defeat his own fears.

Review:

Now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD is this year's hit Pixar computer-animated film, Inside Out! Directed by Peter Docter, the film features the voice talents of Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Richard Kind, Kaitlyn Dias, Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan. Bonus Extras includes: Story of the Story - Join Pete Docter & the story crew as they walk through the process of finding this story; Paths to Pixar: The Women of Inside Out; Mixed Emotions - Follow the filmmakers as they personify the emotions; Mapping the Mind - Explore the fascinating workings of our minds; Out Dads, the Filmmakers; Into the Unknown; The Sound of Inside Out; The Misunderstood Art of Animation Film Editing; All-New Short: Riley's First Date; and Lava Short Film.

When it comes to computer-animation, there's no company better than Pixar, whom has given us many classics, such as Toy Story & Finding Nemo. Their newest classic, Inside Out, took in nearly $900 million at the box-office over the summer.

The film centers on the emotions - Joy (voiced by Ay Poehler) Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith), Fear (voiced by Bill Hader), Anger (voiced by Lewis Black) and Disgust (voiced by Mindy Kaling) - of a young girl named Riley Andersen (voiced by Kaitlyn Dais). Riley grew up in a loving home in Minnesota, where her favorite passion is playing hockey, but that all changes when her parents, Bill (voiced by Kyle MacLachlan) and Jill (voiced by Diane Lane), force her to move San Francisco. While moving to a new house can be exciting, it isn't for Riley as the moving truck gets lost with all their stuff somewhere in Texas.


During this time, Sadness starts forming a bad habit of touching the happy memories, which turns them into sad memories. This causes Riley's first day of school to be a complete disaster when she cries in front of her whole class; resulting in a sad core memory being created. Joy attempts to stop the memory from being sent to the central hub, but ends up dumping the other core memories, which causes a chain reaction that starts to shutdown the personality islands.
