The Good Dinosaur is coming to theaters on November 25, 2015. The Disney Pixar movie is the second Pixar film to be released this year and the 16th film from the studio. It looks like an amazingly fun film, and my kids can’t wait to see it. Especially my 9 year-old who wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up.
Here’s a look at the trailer.
We put together this fun snack tray idea for the film, and thought it would be a fun thing to share in advance of the film. This could be a great snack tray to present to the kiddos before you head off to the movie, or if it becomes the big hit we all know it will be you could use this idea for a The Good Dinosaur themed birthday party or event in the future.
Now without further ado let’s snack The Good Dinosaur style.
