2014 may have been a bleak year for Pixar movies (or their complete lack of them), but 2015 is off to a fine start so far. Inside Out has proven to be a massive money-maker, and the next film hitting cinemas will be The Good Dinosaur. Here’s a trailer for it: “The Good Dinosaur” asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever …
