Forbidden Mountain in The Good Dinosaur

[Cmdr_Crimson]

While looking at press art I noticed that Clawtooth mountain that is in the film has a similarity to a well known mountain in Central Florida with a few more peaks added to it...Just thought this was interesting and wanted to share....

Man I hope the Good Dinosaur comes to AK, not like a tie-in with Expedition Everest though.

You don't think it's based on the real Nuptse/Lhotse/Everest?

Having not yet seen the movie, Everest does back up pretty closely to Dinoland U.S.A in Animal Kingdom. This may have been an intentional move to cater to that proximity.

Thanks for sharing.

Could be close...Again the design just had a resemblance to it..I

Considering the setting and themes of the movie, I think it's more likely based on the peaks in Grand Teton National Park

Well it definitely looks like he is looking from where Dinoland is...

It's quite obviously a way for them to tie-in the looming Mountain over Dinoland into a new TGD makeover, IF they decide to make it over at all. I think that was the hope, but with the movie not doing extremely well, it seems a bit more doubtful at this point.

The Good Dinosaur presents Dinoland USA?

I sadly agree. Unless it starts to sell tickets like crazy, I don't see it coming to AK in a big way. Word of mouth has been pretty bad, which is a shame, cause the movie is not awful, just a little underdeveloped....I'd take TGD over Chester and Hester's any day of the week.

How cool would it be to get an Arlo AA in DInoland who swings his tail and fireflies light up like in the movie?!? I always wondered why there were not more AA dinos spread throughout Dinoland that had slight movement. They could be in areas where they would just be viewed and not touched. Seems like it would be a cool feature in the land.

It also looks like the mountains in Frozen.

During the early years before C&H Dinorama was there it was a huge indoor tent called Dinosaur Jubilee....It had fossils of Dinos and a few of the AA's that were commonly used if they had a tour at a museum...http://www.parkeology.com/tag/dinosaur-jubilee

Freaky....But kind of close to it..

Thank you for posting that pic - I have memories of that tent, but since it's not there now I thought I was just mis-remembering.

Here's what USA Today has to say about it:

"The rough-and-tumble world of The Good Dinosaur came to life through animating a lot of what the filmmakers saw in places such as the Montana grasslands and Wyoming’s Snake River and Teton mountain ranges. Yet the Western motif found its way into its various critters, too, big and small."​

I just saw the movie today, and that was the first thing I said.... It's Everset. No mistaking it, it is clearly made out to look like EE

 

[WondersOfLife]

I enjoyed The Good Dinosaur!! Obviously not amazing and outstanding. Not PIXAR's best. But.... It was good. It was cute. It was funny. It was a good movie... And knowing PIXAR, there really hasn't ever been a bad movie outside of Cars 2. I was shocked at how much I actually enjoyed the film based on all of the negative reviews I've read! It's probably in my top 10 list! CX

I'll wait until Summer when it comes out on DVD.

That's probably your best bet. The movie was not that entertaining, and very violent
