Several months ago (back in Sept/Oct) I had the amazing opportunity to go to San Francisco and learn more about The Good Dinosaur at Pixar Studios. It was an amazing experience - and everything we learned made the movie that much more enjoyable for me. Be sure to check out the The Good Dinosaur posts here.
