[Music]

where am i a good dinosaur is about

harlow and spot on this incredible

journey out in the wilderness

we need to get home and in order to

bring reality to that world and the

frontier we needed to go on our own

journey first

we knew it was going to be set in the

west so the art department and story

team did a research trip to that area it

was awe-inspiring how huge those

landscapes were and so what a perfect

place to make a dinosaur feel tiny

where's home we wanted to have the

feeling of being lost like our own spot

so we went on a horseback ride up into

the grand tetons

at one point arlo falls into the river

so we went on a river rafting trip to

feel what it would be like to go down a

rapid

let's go

and then we went to a cattle ranch to do

some herding

because we were in big sky country you

feel like you can see forever we needed

to think about how we were going to do

clouds

in the past the matte paint department

used to paint clouds by hand they would

look beautiful but we couldn't make them

move very easily a big part of the

dinosaur was to figure out a way to make

sure that our clouds could move

we wanted to give nature a feeling that

it's breathing that it's alive

so we had the idea let's try to do all

3d volumetric clouds

[Music]

oh

we built a completely new tool set the

clouds exist in 3d space and so they

feel a lot more real they move when the

wind picks up and when the storms pick

up they'll

evolve

the environments are incredibly

immersive and beautiful because they

were made by people that poured their

heart and soul into it

[Music]

this is one of the most visually

stunning films that pixar has done and

the skies are just a beautiful part of

it

[Music]

i think we went far enough today let's

get you home

[Music]

where am i

a good dinosaur is about arlo he finds

himself

lost out in the wilderness and he has to

find his way back home again he meets an

amazing friend along the way what is his

name i don't know i name him i keep him

kill her stinky

when he finds arlo he kind of attaches

himself to him and they set off on a

journey of a lifetime

it's a really simple coming-of-age story

that break away from the parents for the

first time

before you take that first step but on a

much larger scale it's about this

journey that they're on this quest to

get back home and what they learn along

the way

about friendship and things that are

really important in life

i'm done being scared if you ain't

scared

you ain't alive

[Music]

watch this

[Applause]

[Music]

i see a light

ah

uh what if the asteroid that destroyed

the dinosaurs

missed

in the animal kingdom one of the keys to

survival is to outwit your enemy

but there's not a single species on

earth that could have outsmarted a mount

everest sized asteroid hurtling towards

earth at 30 kilometers per second

but what if the chick syllab meteor had

missed would the dinosaurs still be

alive today

what if these gargantuan creatures were

actually still around

our mammal ancestors that were running

underfoot

avoiding becoming hors d'oeuvres by

t-rex

probably would have stayed just that way

had they gotten much bigger you become a

much bigger meal

for the carnivorous dinosaurs that were

ruling the earth

so what you really had to do was remove

the dinosaurs from the ecosystem

that pries open an ecological niche

enabling

our mammal ancestors to aspire to become

something more than just the rodents

that they were

of the day but imagine though

if the dinosaurs were localized to one

land mass

and we had our mammal ancestors on

another land mass it's possible you

could have dinosaurs continuing and then

mammals evolving to become humans

and then one day

they sail across the oceans

and meet one another

and the dinosaurs eat us

that's probably exactly how that would

play out

we'll probably never have to worry about

roaming herds of theropods disrupting

our rush hour commutes but this sure is

fun to think about

for the universe

i'm neil degrasse tyson

[Music]

[Music]

ah

[Music]

hello

[Music]

[Music]

oh is

[Music]

get down

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i think we went far enough today let's

get you home

where am i

[Music]

oh

[Music]

we need to get home

i got a job for you keep on the dodge

and silent the loblolly pass him hornets

what

that creature protected you what is his

name i don't know i name him i keep him

killer ah stinky violet swipe lunatic

spot

spot come here come here well are you

just the cutest thing

i'm done being scared

if you ain't scared

you ain't alive

i miss my family

[Music]

• i wasn't ready for dying that day

  ➔ Past Continuous with 'wasn't', Infinitive of Purpose ('to die')

  ➔ The phrase 'wasn't ready' uses the past continuous to describe a state of being unprepared. 'Dying' functions as a gerund, indicating the state of the process of dying.

• i bit one croc in half tail whipped the other and the last one well i drowned that croc in my own blood

  ➔ Compound Verb Phrases, Coordination with 'and', Colloquial 'well' as a discourse marker

  ➔ This sentence uses a series of short, impactful verb phrases to describe a violent encounter. 'Tail whipped' is a compound verb. 'Well' is used as a filler word, indicating a pause and a shift in thought.

  ➔ Modal Verb ('gotta' = 'have to'), Infinitive of Purpose ('to see'), Prepositional Phrase ('on the other side')

  ➔ 'Gotta' is a colloquial contraction of 'have got to', expressing necessity. The 'to see' infinitive explains the reason for overcoming fear. 'On the other side' refers to a metaphorical place of reward or peace.
