What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?

So posits Pixar in the enchanting computer-animated fantasy “The Good Dinosaur.” Luckily for young dinosaur Arlo, his parents and his two siblings, the mighty reptiles were not wiped out 65 million years ago.

Directed by Peter Sohn and produced by Dennis Ream, the music was scored by brothers Mychael Danna and Jeff Danna. This marks the first Pixar film to be scored by two composers. Mychael was approached by Sohn and Ream due to his score for “Life of Pi,” which won an Academy Award. Having a lot of work, he invited his brother Jeff as a co-writer.
