It’s official: Asteroid TB145 (“Spooky” or the “Halloween Asteroid”) has officially passed by earth, recalling the idea that launched The Good Dinosaur. To celebrate, Pixar has released a new video showing the dinosaurs from “The Good Dinosaur” reacting to The Halloween Asteroid”:
Peter Sohn, director of Disney•Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur,” says the event reminds filmmakers of the idea that launched the film, which hits theaters—so to speak—on Nov. 25, 2015. Says Sohn, “This whole thing started off with the idea: What if the asteroid that theoretically wiped out all the dinosaurs 65 million years ago missed? What would have happened? We had a lot of fun evolving the dinosaurs. Herbivores became farmers; carnivores became ranchers.”
