The minute-long teaser clip doesn’t give much away about the film’s plot, other than that it’s set in a world where dinosaurs never became extinct.
‘The Good Dinosaur’ tells the story of Arlo, a young dinosaur who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a cave-boy, after finding himself lost, a long way from home.

The film includes the voice talents of Lucas Neff, who has the lead role, while Neil Patrick Harris, Judy Greer and John Lithgow are also among the cast.
Here in the UK, cinema-goers can look forward to seeing ‘The Good Dinosaur’ on 27 November.

Arlo the dinosaur
It will act as Pixar’s second release this year, following on from ‘Inside Out’, which is released later this month.
The year will no doubt end on a high for Disney, when the much-awaited seventh instalment in the ‘Star Wars’ series, ‘The Force Awakens’, is released this Christmas.
The company has also enjoyed success in 2015, thanks to ‘Tomorrowland’ and the live-action remake of ‘Cinderella’.
The release of ‘The Good Dinosaur’ is perfectly timed, given that another modern-day dinosaur tale, ‘Jurassic World’, is about to hit cinemas, though we’re guessing the former is going to be decidedly more family-friendly than the latter.
Check out the teaser trailer for ‘The Good Dinosaur’ above.
Pixar's Favorite Easter Eggs
The Pizza Planet Truck(01 of09)
Open Image Modal
Appearing in almost every Pixar feature film, The Pizza Planet Truck, first spotted in "Toy Story" and shown here in "Wall-E," is one of the most ubiquitous yet hardest to spot of Pixar's many easter eggs. Eagle-eyed viewers may have also seen it in "Brave." (credit:http://pixar.wikia.com/)
The Luxo Ball(02 of09)

Arguably the most identifiably Pixar easter egg, the yellow ball adorned with a blue stripe and a red star, known as the Luxo Ball because of its original appearance in the short film "Luxo Jr.", has made its way into no less than 11 Pixar films and shorts including "Toy Story 3."

John Ratzenberger(03 of09)

Perhaps the only thing Pixar loves more than the Pizza Planet Truck, John Ratzenberger has voiced a character in every Pixar film. Lovingly referred to by Pixar's chief creative officer, John Lasseter, as the studio's "good luck charm", some of Ratzenberger most famous roles include Hamm from the "Toy Story" films and P.T. Flea in "A Bug's Life." (credit:www.pixar.wikia.com)
A113(04 of09)

The code A113 (pronounced A1-13) has also appeared in almost every Pixar film. Though seemingly random at first, the code was the classroom number used by the character animation students at the California Institute of the Arts where many of Pixar's chief animators studied. Look closely for the code in "Monsters Inc." Apparently, that's the only feature film to explicitly feature the classroom number. (credit:www.pixar.wikia.com)
Boo's Toys(05 of09)

Though most audience members were too busy crying at the end of "Monsters Inc." to notice anything suspicious, those who could see past their own tears watched Boo give away three of her favorite toys to Scully. The toys were the Luxo Ball, Jessie the Cowgirl doll from "Toy Story 2," and a Nemo toy from the yet to be released "Finding Nemo." (credit:www.pixar.wikia.com)
Binford Tools(06 of09)

Pixar may love inside jokes and easter eggs, but that doesn't mean the studio doesn't throw in a pop culture reference every now and then. Check out this still from "Toy Story" featuring a Binford Tools toolbox -- the same toolbox used by actor, and voice of Buzz Lightyear, Tim Allen on his show "Home Improvement."

P.T. Flea's Wagon(07 of09)

The studio's next movie, "A Bug's Life," stealthily payed homage to Disney's beloved film, "Dumbo". The wagon that transported P.T. Flea's Circus was an empty Casey Ford Jr. cookie box, named after the train that transported the Dumbo's circus in the 1941 Disney film. (credit:www.pixar.wikia.com)
Apple(08 of09)

We can only wonder if the late Steve Jobs, an owner of Pixar and executive producer of "Toy Story," noticed this egg: a race car -- sponsored by Apple -- in the film "Cars." (credit:www.youtube.com)
Day and Night(09 of09)

Look carefully, in the Pixar short "Day and Night," the "Day" character can be seen watching an old Western film. This is actually the same Western film that the dalmatian puppies from Disney's "101 Dalmatians" watch on their television screen.
