Their is still a chance this may not be the final title. It does scare me. But we still don’t know much about the film. With the title, It could be something about a group of bad dinosaurs starting a war agianst humans, but one and maybe a small group that joins it stand up for humans.
I was thinking… May be the word “good” has to be taken in an other way ? Like in the sense of making the good choice… May be someone is looking for the good dinosaur for him, for something, like, I don’t know, to have a friend ??
With only a title and a very evasive synopsis, I think there’s really not enough to know what is this movie about.
Well the title is a bit weak. However I’ve liked every Pixar movie I’ve seen, so I’m going to avoid judging it until I know more about it. If nothing else, I’m sure the animation will be good. 
I can dream that Rex is in it somehow. He’s my favorite Pixar character.
Honestly, I don’t understand why the title is getting so much crap. Does anyone actually know the movie’s plot? I don’t think so. I actually find it a good title for an ANIMATED film. I don’t think anyone should be too critical of a darn title without at least knowing what the movie is about. Honestly guys, you’re supposed to be Pixar’s supporters, not their main bashers. I’m sure once we know more about the film, the title will make sense. Instead of exerting all this negative buzz around something of such small importance, I think we should all be investing our energy thinking about the infinity of places this film could go… First of all, will the world portrayed in the film be drastically different than our world today? Maybe the world is less advanced technologically, perhaps it is MORE advanced. How else would the presence of dinosaurs alter our world? What do you guys think?
We just think it sounds childish. Good could have a cpuple meanings here. It could be good as in nice. Or tt could be good as in having a talent. It just sounds more like a kids shows to us now. They may change as we find out more avout the movie.
I for one don’t see problems with the name and am completely behind Pixar. No dud movies yet from them.
That.
We aren’t necessarily saying that the title doesn’t make sense, just that it isn’t very attractive in our opinion, and sounds somewhat simplistic.
I find that a dangerous way of thinking, that makes us closer to “fanatism”, and I’ve seen it a lot in the boards lately.
I agree we should support every worthy piece of work that Pixar has given us (which is like 98% of theirs).
But there’s still that other 2% that some of us think isn’t that great. It’s not so much “bashing”, as pointing out things that could be improved. And that’s good, even for Pixar. I’m sure they appreciate a public with higher expectations, because that certainly helps to make better films, and I say that for my own experience.
And welcome to the forums, Vengador!
More simplistic than ‘Up’ or ‘Brave’? Haha maybe Pixar is trying to troll us with all these simple titles 
You’re right about that, which means I didn’t use the right word when I called it “simplistic”.
A title can be simple but witty, or having a nice ring about it. The problem with The Good Dinosaur isn’t that.
When I find a proper word for the problem, I’ll share it.
I think there’s a little about “childish” on it, like Pixarfan says, but probably the best overall description for it is RogerTheSpaceShip’s: “weak”
By the way, my most anticipated film of the year has a title that I deem as week and very unappealing, which is a proof I don’t judge a film by the title, but I’m not afraid of commenting what bothers me 
I think everyone has a right to think what they think, and I don’t want my next comment to sound like I think my opinion is superior or right or anythign like that.
I just personally don’t think the title is much to get worked up about. Like, the movie is 2 years away, and we know next to nothing about it. For the moment being, I’m giving the filmmakers (this IS their film, I’m sure they know better on the matter, since they know what the darn film is about) the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah, I can agree with most of you that the title sounds a bit uncreative and childish. But… maybe that’s how they want it to sound. I think in one of the photos we’ve seen a young boy is riding a brontosaurus… a theme reminding me of books such as Danny The Dinosaur. Perhaps Pixar is trying to capture the children’s book style in this movie (hence the name), but maybe with that bit of a twist that Pixar is so known for using. 
And yeah, it probably is a little early to be getting all hyped up about a title when we don’t know much else about the film, but… it’s still fun to speculate. 
Yeah, and this early on, the film may change. That’s what happened to The Bear and the Bow/Brave. The movie might even be pushed back. It’s so early, that nothing we have been told is definitive at this point.
I hope the dialogue here will be much better then Disney’s Dinosaur. It was all Eisner’s fault there.
I’m not going to judge the movie by the title, also it sounds a little bit childish and simplistic. Like is said before; Cars, Up, Brave are all simplistic titles but great movies! (idk about brave)
Personally, I’m more fond of simplistic or one-word titles than longer, descriptive ones. Less can be more and interpretations can be made before we find out what kind of significance it has on the film. They might change it, they might not. A lot can change in two years before the film will be released. By then, they’ll have settled on a nice name!
I’m looking forward to hearing more about this film! I mean, it’s going to have dinosaurs in them! I love dinosaurs! I don’t really care if the subject’s been done before, I like seeing Pixar taking an idea, twisting it up, and making it their own!
I’m also hoping for feathered dinosaurs!
I’m a bit afraid they’ll make the good guys sauropods and happy-looking fellas like that, and the fang-faced raptors as clichéd bad guys.
Though if it’s about there never being a meteorite and that dinosaurs evolved alongside men, Pixar won’t have to worry about paleo-logic, seeing as they, well, evolved!
And really, I’ll just keep my skepticism 'til I see more of this film.
I have a feeling that there will not be so many “bad guys” per se in this movie. I think this movie will be along a similar line of Ratatouille, where two “outcasts” (or weirdos) of their respective societies have to join force and work towards a common goal. Only this time the non-human protagonist will be huuuuuuuuuuuge in size, and the sitting-on-the-head task will be reversed now, i.e. the boy will be on the sauropod’s head. What the common goal is, I’ve absolutely no clue, but I have a feeling there will not be much fighting in the climax. It will be something more noble than bloodshedding, not saving-the-world noble, but maybe saving the peace accord between human and dinosaurs or something.
I got all that from reading too much into tiny snippets of interviews and internet rumors, so everything might be totally off the marks
Btw does everyone know that John Powell is scoring for this movie? Well you do now. Check out his IMDB or wikipedia pages (not the most reliable sources, I know!) or his website. Yes, THE John Powell.
It’s pretty crazy to think of this possibility, because 1) this info is made public way too far in advance, which is really abnormal, while we don’t even know who’s scoring Monsters U for crying out loud, 2) Powell is also scoring HTTYD2 for Dreamworks (read: studio loyalty?), 3) HTTYD2 is released about 3 weeks after Good Dinosaur, so inevitably the scores for 2 films will be compared ad nauseum, and 4) other than HTTYD, his scores are not THAT good, even though he’s really prolific in scoring animated features.
