What's left behind the scenes

  • While working on the tyrannosaur family, the artists drew inspiration from a farming family from the northwestern Pacific coast of the United States. The filmmakers stumbled upon this family's home during a research trip and were captivated by their appearance and outlook on life.
  • To make the film's setting look realistic, the team of artists and technicians at Pixar thoroughly studied the American Wild West, from the town of Junction City, Oregon, to Jackson Hole Valley, Wyoming. It was in that area, according to the screenwriters, that Arlo got lost.
  • To immerse themselves in the pristine wilderness, a research horseback expedition was organized in Wyoming. The filmmakers’ route ran along the Teton Range and the Snake River. The expedition reached southern Montana, experiencing challenging climatic conditions. To transfer all the beauty seen during the expedition onto the screen, the filmmakers turned to Pixar’s technical specialists, as they needed to process a huge amount of information. Data on Wyoming was found online. The American Geological Survey helped the filmmakers with the other territories, providing comprehensive landscape data for all the United States. Most of the information was presented as aerial photographs. Information about the altitudes of the terrain became the starting point for subsequent research and the development of a computer landscape generation system.
  • Satellite photographs were used to create the terrain. A special plugin was written for the program that indicated that any green spot on the map was trees and other vegetation. By the same analogy, other types of terrain were mapped: brown – earth and dirt, blue – a body of water or river.
  • During a research expedition in Wyoming, filmmakers decided to raft down the Snake River. The journey was filmed with a GoPro camera. At one point, the camera mount loosened, and it fell into the river. Fortunately, an experienced guide who knew the river was able to calculate where the current would carry the valuable equipment. The camera was found and continued to operate. The film crew obtained invaluable footage capturing the entire swim from start to finish, including underwater shots.
  • While preparing to film, artists and technicians from Disney/Pixar created an entire library of various rain and cloud effects that could be modified and combined to produce original combinations. Usually, clouds are drawn in two dimensions, but in this film, for the first time in animation history, they were made entirely volumetric. They are mobile and can be lit from any angle, creating a very realistic cloudscape.
  • When working on the appearance and behavior of Butch (a massive Tyrannosaurus Rex that Arlo meets on his way home), filmmakers drew inspiration from actors who convincingly embodied the image of classic cowboys, such as Clint Eastwood and Jack Palance.
