Indeed! And apparently already in production. My apologies for the oversight.

It looks like The Good Dinosaur may not meet the lofty expectations set by most previous Pixar films.
But that being said, it is still way, way better than Cars 2.

Ok I'm really late to the game, but here it is! I just saw it and I have to say I am not as impressed as I thought, but also not completely disappointed. I thought the animation was very well done, and I liked the storyline. It was very unique, although it lacked a lot of stimulation/conflict. Like, yes, Arlow was afraid of being brave and there were the pterodactyls, but I don't know I wish there was more of a conflict in there. Anyway, I rate this film a 6.5/10. It intrigued me while watching, but not something I'd see again. I also didn't appreciate the getting high reference; completely inappropriate for children even though they have no idea what that is. But I would definitely recommend watching this once.

I'm on the fence as to whether we will see The Good Dinosaur in the theater or not. I hear good and bad (more good).
I must be dense, but I actually liked Cars 2. I thought it was a fun film. Not the best, but certainly not bad at all!
Wall-E is still my favorite Pixar movie. It was visually and emotionally beautiful, and probably THE purest, most honest love story I've ever seen! Wall-E and Eve had more heart than most humans I know! I loved the Chaplin-esque style in the beginning with no dialogue. Yes, the movie showed humans in a harsh and (deserved) brutally honest light, and rightfully so... just look around WDW on any given day, and you'll see what I mean. I think the fact that the movie gave some bitter pills to swallow for some people made it less liked. I give Pixar a lot of credit for that.
Inside Out and The Incredibles are tied for second!

Bought the Blu Ray and finally got around to seeing this. Overall I probably echo Nat's response. I was really impressed with the graphics. For anyone who's been to Yellowstone, it was so realistic and well done. The cartoony dinosaurs actually were a disappointment for me. I think they could've done a more realistic character who was still cute. The story itself was basic, (I agree it was a little bit lion king-esque with the dad dying and the son lost in an unknown world) and they drew it out too long, but I liked the message of how sometimes you really have to learn to be brave, it doesn't come naturally to everyone. I also liked how it got across the message that everyone has a story.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me.
I haven't seen it yet, but my wife and kids did. My wife speaks very highly of it and my kids all loved it, as well.
That said, NOTHING could be as bad as Cars 2. I didn't care for Wall-E either, but there is (in my opinion) a big difference between making a film that doesn't appeal to me and making a film that is downright poor.
I would assume Good Dinosaur falls into the former category whereas Cars 2 fall squarely into the latter. It was just an embarrassingly bad film.

We liked the Good Dinosaur. Nowhere near the best, but still enjoyable. Don't know if/when I'll watch it again, but I don't feel like I was cheated out of a couple hours of my life.
My very favorite Pixar movie is Wall-E. I can watch that over and over again. There is so much heart and emotion in that movie, and it's all by robots!! I know it got grief in the beginning because of the way it portrayed humans, but I thought it was spot on!!

Well, while Disney did collaborate with the Pixar for computer graphics for Rescuers down Under, it was not a Pixar Studios Production. but it was perhaps the beginning of a very fortunate relationship.
