The following is the following producer of the clubhouse podcast.
I'm not alone for this particular edition.
Joining me across the desk as he tends to do is my co-host and a man who I believe owns
everything Pixar's ever done, including the shorts he has chatted.
Welcome, sir.
I do indeed, sir.
Thank you for pointing that out.
That's how I roll.
Also joining me across the desk is the official fact checker of this show and a man who is
from an area of the country where he may have seen a dinosaur print a few times.
You may know him as fun, don, go, but his mom and name him, Don Ford.
I'm going to call him, Don Ford.
Welcome, sir.
I will get into Montana on this review.
I know you will.
I will.
Oh, yeah, you will.
Also joining us is a man who looks like a caveman.
He is the ginger ninja.
He is Andrew Beckham.
He is the king of bowling.
Welcome, sir.
Thank you.
I just learned to walk up right.
Oh, yeah.
Hey.
Now here to judge you outwardly.
Whenever we do one of these things, it is to review something and this particular
edition is no exception.
We are here to review the latest from Disney Pixar.
It is called the Good Dinosaur.
Now the other three gentlemen in the studio were actually able to attend this particular
screening.
I was at a different screening.
We were kind of doing the divide and conquer thing.
So I'll be just kind of driving this thing and kind of letting them fill you in.
Before we begin.
Yes, sir.
We, whether you are an Ableton or not, we still have to think, Jenna, Susan, everybody
is listening.
Absolutely.
There are several credible people.
So thanks so much to them for inviting us to this thing.
This was directed by Peter Sone.
This is his first feature film as a director.
He directed a short called Partly Cloudy in 2009.
He's also done voices for films like The Incredibles Ratet to we.
Let's see what else.
It's some of the toy stories, shorts, monsters, university.
So he's been around the Pixar block a few times.
Here's what you need to know.
Many, many, many, many, many, many moons ago.
There was allegedly an asteroid that hit the earth, that destroyed the dinosaurs.
But what did the asteroid didn't hit?
So what you see is the asteroid passing by earth in the dinosaurs going, yeah, whatever.
So quote unquote millions of years passed by.
And it's the dinosaurs that have become more civilized.
And the humans that are more like wild animals, one million years later in the film.
It's a million.
It just says millions of.
Oh, I thought it said one million.
That's what I was going to say.
Yeah.
I was pretty sure it said millions from what I've read.
But so fast forward to pseudo wherever we are.
And you have a family of a pad of sources, who want to farm.
And a human comes amongst their ranks.
And I guess there's sun that goes after him.
Yes.
They kind of get lost and have to find their way back.
Yeah, you are low, they're youngest sun.
Yeah.
Voicecast, Jeffrey Wright, Francis McDorman, let's see who else would you recognize from this thing.
The director, of course, Steve Zahn is in this AJ Buckley and a Pac-Win Sam Elliott.
So some names that John Bratzon burger, naturally.
Why wouldn't he be in a Pixar production?
Chad, I'm going to start with you.
How did you feel that this story measures up to the rest of the Pixar fair?
Not as well as I would have hoped.
OK.
OK.
This film went through a form of development hell.
I mean, it was still dead.
If you did mention in your written review, which is located at www.theclubhousepodcast.com,
which is our website.
It went through a director or two.
It completely overhauled the voicecast.
I mean, originally, Lith gal was attached to this thing.
Acting.
I want to say, Hader was involved.
And they just, I think the only cast member that they originally brought in that stayed
with the production is Francis McDorman.
HERS is the only one.
HERS is the only one.
HERS is the only one.
But I mean, as far as a major role, because Ratzon burger at this point is just
bet you see you play a background, but she's the only major role that didn't change at
all.
Everything else completely shifted.
That being said, it's the kind of film that you kind of sitting there waiting for
something to happen.
And kind of like the feeling that you've gotten the two towers.
We're walking, we're walking, we're walking, we're walking.
Fair enough.
Where is the chase and when can we go to it?
Dawn?
I kind of have to disagree with Chad respectfully.
Fair enough.
OK.
But that's where we're here for.
Different opinions.
Right.
Talking the plot, basically, if that's what we're looking at right now.
I thought it flowed well.
There really was no drag parts in this.
Yes, there's a lot of walking, but that's the film is trying to get back home to his family.
But there's a lot of things that come up.
There's a lot of tests we could say.
There's a lot going on that he has to overcome in this film.
And this is a little bit longer than your normal Pixar fair.
This is an hour forward.
Yeah, but I didn't think it did not trigger all my opinion.
Right.
I thought it flowed well.
The plot is kept me interested even as an adult, but even their little kids at the screening
and they were into it.
So I think it's not too complicated, but it's a good plot that a lot of the even the young
kids can understand and be able to comprehend.
Andrew.
I'll have to confirm what Chad says and disagree with Dawn here.
The first half little over half just kind of drug on.
And finally, I got to a point where there were obstacles that made the journey longer
and pushed them back.
But it seemed like it took forever to get to the first obstacle.
And they just kept coming and like, OK, and as Chad says, let's find this chase and cut
to it.
Well, Andrew, let's continue on with you then and talk really about how did the plot
line, how did it work within the context of the visual of the film?
Do you fault those two work together, how was it visually for you?
Oh, visually stunning, because I mean, it really kept me drawn in.
Of course, I have a little bit of a background with that.
So I just love to see how they do things.
The water and this was beautiful.
And I just kind of, to me, it was kind of how it resembled a little bit of hope that
you get there and then, you know,
it pushes you back a little bit, you know, can it, can you fight through this and push
through it?
Don, you want to go to Chad first, because I want to save this for a good time.
Visually, particularly the environment was one of the more impressive environments.
I've seen in a Pixar film, it's very photorealistic.
It doesn't look like a CG environment.
It almost looks like it's real for real.
It's photorealistic.
It's like very photorealistic.
And to me, that was one of the things that kind of made it an odd contrast with, particularly
the Apatisore family, they stuck out like a sore thumb.
They look like they were made out of gumdrops, okay?
Whereas, I mean, they just look like a couple of lumbering gumbies walking around, whereas
the majority of the other dinosaurs in this film had a more distinctive look to them.
You could definitely tell what you were looking at when you were looking at them.
When the raptors came out, you knew you were looking at raptors.
When the rexus came out, you knew you were looking at rexus, but when you were looking
at the Apatisore, you're like, what the heck are these things?
They look like something that belonged on a kid's playground.
And I don't know why they made them look so simplistic.
Fair enough.
Whereas, they put a lot of, you know, craginess in the other species, but this, but the
feature dinosaur of this thing basically looks like a kid's toy.
Don.
On the look, you know how tough I am on this.
You're very, you are a big stickler for the visual.
I was so blown away on this thing.
This was so incredible on this.
I am putting my written review at the Colossus Podcast.com.
It's our website.
I'm sorry.
Played in simple.
This reminded me of back home in Montana.
And it impressed me so much, because you're saying the photo realistic, Chad.
There were times I'm walking at this thing going, is this film?
You've been there.
Or is this?
If I've been down this river?
I mean, it looked so realistic.
I mean, was this film where it's this animation?
That's how incredible that job was on this.
Wow.
I mean, you're looking at these mountains.
And everything just seems so real.
And it's like, they went into the mountains somewhere like in Montana.
And they just sketched everything out, took photographs, and everything looks so realistic.
There's a scene where Arlo's in the river basically will say resting.
And the water just seemed like this is stuff I've seen when I've been on fishing in
some of these creeks in Montana.
It just was so realistic mind-blowing.
And there seems at nights with these little, we could say the prehistoric version of
fireflies.
And when those things light up at night, that's when the animation on realistic, but the
real animation kicked in too.
I just go, this is sensory overload for me.
And it's kind of like that, is this real sort of, or is it member X kind of thing?
Remember those little commercials?
I do indeed.
I'm thinking, is this film or is this animation because I cannot tell because it's that
realistic?
I mean, it's when it comes to nature, it's the way nature is if you're to go into
mountains of Montana.
I was just blown away.
This is one of the best looks I've seen in a long time.
That being said, how did it work with the voice cast?
Dawn.
And first off, I give my shout out to Sam Elliott.
We know it's Elliott, but it's what's right now.
But he was, he was one of the Rexes, but his voice hit that, hit that creature perfectly.
I was, he's my shout-out role, okay?
They're okay.
But keep in mind, there are two people, two different people that play like Arlo and
the brothers and stuff like that, the younger and the older.
On those people, I thought the voices hit the characters very, very good.
Had no real complaints on that.
I don't think there's anybody that was too scratchy or did not fit the creature that
they were playing or the dinosaur that they were playing.
But I thought the voices were fine, nothing really bugged me, but yeah, my shout-out
goes to Elliott.
Chat.
It was very confidently, voice.
I'm curious as to what would have happened if we would have heard the original voice
cast involved in this thing, but, you know, Jeffrey Wright brings a weight to his book.
You know, I'm a huge fan of him.
Indeed, as Arlo's dad, Francis McDormand ever the matronly figure.
That's usually what we see her playing and his followers covered in snow.
And the one that really threw me for a loop, though, was the character of Sam Elliott
has, as a daughter who is about as country as she can be.
When you read in the credits that it was played by Anapacquin, as you know, you thought
she could do country and true blood.
She really did have a lot of experience there in the true blood, Andrew.
Oh, Sam Elliott's character is the first word that the fat and the fat and the fat
and the fat and the fat.
The first word that came out, you're like, this is a commanding presence.
When you hear it, it just fits and you pay attention, it's a take notice.
All you could see is his character and tombstone.
As he starts talking, he's so great.
He really is.
You know, I'm also a huge fan of him.
And the way the way he appears on screen, you barely see his eyes.
I'm like, that's Sam Elliott, all right.
Yeah.
I mean, some of you, you know, voices from these, they're young children.
And this might be their first or second real role in comes down to it.
Considering how new they are, I thought they did incredible for being children of
that age.
Well, the kid Raymond Ochoa, who plays Arlo recently, like in the
more, in like, in the video game arena, he's been doing the voice of dash for anything
incredible related, like, very nice in the, in the, in the, in the, in the infinity series.
It's easy.
We got to say the older Arlo, because there are two voices that do Arlo, just the primary
voice.
The one that you hear the majority of the time.
All right.
Anything else you would want to add for me to finally ask on one voice?
I have to give it out to Jack, Jack, right.
You played spot.
The little cave, cave child, we could say, okay, a cave kid didn't say a word, did
not say one word in this film, but his voice in his tone and the sounds he makes made
that character really stand out on that.
And we got to say the spot, the little cave boy, just run me, run me of a dog, you know,
I think you guys, they were young and exactly, you might be a little puppy.
It's just a name.
Yeah.
But yeah, I thought I really enjoyed spots character, character wise, I thought he was
my favorite in the film, I could say, he could pull a motion out of you with very, very
little.
And yeah, emotionally, this film will make you laugh, it will make you cry, or close to
crying, depending on how much you want to be, but this will hit you emotionally.
There's one scene.
I'm going to say what would be in spoiler free is the circles, and that one just, if you're
out of the boy, it just hits you.
Emotionally, you didn't see a comment at that point in the film.
If you're a grown man in your sitting in a Pixar film, you're pretty much checking your
machismo with a dog.
Yeah, it has a point.
Hey, Chad, did you want to throw your comment out there before the movie about the, the dinosaur
teeth?
Did you say they look like, oh, they look like, they have a, they had a big, you know, blown
up picture of our low and spot on the screen, and I said it, it looked, you look like
he had a mouthful of chocolates.
So, and one thing we got to see, one, we got, we got to see this in 3D, but there
was just like, when the last Pixar films that we got to review, there was a little
five minute short added.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's called Sanjay's Heroes.
Sanjay's Heroes.
Sanjay's, Sanjay's super team or something like that.
Five minute cute little thing, animation, I got to give a shit, we got to add that in there.
It was absolutely cool.
It was a tear jerker in its own, right?
It was very, very quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
All right, we're ready to the final analysis thing.
The way we do the final analysis on this show, we don't give you thumbs-up thumbs-down,
we don't give you stars, we don't give you letter grades, you don't give you number rankings.
Our audience whom we affectionately refer to as the Empire is better than that.
I'm going to ask the gentleman to questions, question number one is, would you see this
film again?
If the answer is no, then we're done here.
If the answer is yes, then I'm going to ask them how far they'd be willing to go to
see it again, would you pay for it full price in a theater, would you go to Twilight,
Night, early morning on the weekend, would you wait till it comes to the dollar theater
and second run, would you venture out of your house to go run it from red box, would you
stream it on Netflix, or would you wait for it on cable, and Drew, would you see this
film again?
Yes, I would.
How far are you willing to go?
I would like to rent this movie.
Kind of a red box, kind of a deal?
Yeah, you know what, actually, it may be like a purchase and then kind of watch with either,
you know, like your significant other, or just if you have kids over at the house.
Fair enough.
Chad, would you see this film again?
Yeah, same as Andrew.
Okay, fair enough, Dom, would you see this again?
That's a definite, yes.
All right, how far are you willing to go?
It, the look, it gets the coveted.
So you're saying full price theater, 3D or no?
No, I was going to bring up, because we didn't really thought this up.
There were some scenes that got enhanced by 3D, and it was great to see it in 3D, but
I don't think that it gets the double coveted.
Now, you also, I'm also being told you guys saw this in the Dolby atmosphere as well.
Yes, we did.
Would you prefer it in the Dolby atmosphere?
A film like this, yeah, it, it all works well in that, and yeah.
I'm saying full price theater, this is great for the entire family, go to dinner or whatever
and see this after a vice versa, but good family film, I don't think it needs a 3D,
but I, I'm still giving it to the coveted, because that look was just so incredible.
I was blown away.
The good dinosaur directed by Peter Song, and before we go again, we got to think
Jenna, Susan, everybody at Susan Jacobs and Disney, again, for buying this to this thing.
Thank you so very much to all of them.
Absolutely, we love them so much.
