I received this movie from Disney for my review. All opinions are my own.
“From the innovative minds of Disney•Pixar comes a hilariously heartwarming adventure about the power of confronting and overcoming your fears and discovering who you are meant to be.
The Good Dinosaur asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely, and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? In this epic journey into theworld of dinosaurs, an apatosaurus named Arlo makes an unlikely human friend. While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.
Bring home this original story full of humor, heart, action and imagination, perfect for the whole family!“-Disney•Pixar
NOW AVAILABLE on Blu-ray, DVD, & Digital HD!
My kids absolutely loved this movie when we saw it in the theaters (Read my full The Good Dinosaur Movie review). So they couldn’t wait to be able to watch it again at home! It was a hit again, and a movie that will be watched over and over. I was also excited to see what Bonus features would be offered on the Blu-ray Combo Pack. I liked being able to get a look behind the scenes of the making of The Good Dinosaur and the research that went into it. I also like the educational aspects of the bonus features and that my kids and I can learn more about the Dinosaurs portrayed in the film.
Take a look at all of the specific Bonus Features you can expect for this movie…
