T-Rex's Run Rampant In First New Images From PIXAR's 2015 Film The Good Dinosaur

After a production that had, like with many films, animated or otherwise, its share of problems, PIXAR's Thanksgiving 2015 movie, The Good Dinosaur, seems to be finally coming together. Footage from the movie was screened at the Cannes Film Festival recently, and response to it was extremely positive. And now, some new promo images (which are poses of the characters used for toys and other pieces of merchandise) for the movie have come online via the PIXAR Wiki!

The T-Rex's look quite stylized, though these are promo artwork and not how they'll look officially in the film, so I'd wager they'll look a bit more reigned in in the final film (I'll be interested to see what raptors, which will have some feathers on their body, look like). Looking at these images, I can see one noticeable change from before and after the movie switched directors and release dates.

Check out how Arlo, the main character and a Brontosaurus, looks like in the first piece of artwork, which is some 2013 concept art, and then look at the second image, which is the modern day design.

Arlo looks notably smaller in his new incarnation, especially in regards to his neck. The filmmakers, back in 2013 before the film switched directors, had previously noted the challenges associated with trying to put Arlo and Spot (the human boy seen in the movies various images) in the same shot, so I assume shrinking Arlo was a way to solve that quandary. As I said with the T-Rex's, this isn't the final CGI version of the character (we'll see likely first see that in a teaser trailer that will almost certainly be on Inside Out), but it is interesting to get a first look at some changes made for the film in terms of visuals.
