Great vocal talents in Good Dinosaur

-

Aside from the lead voice actors for Arlo and Spot, Disney-Pixar’s The Good

Dinosaur features an extraordin­ary roster of voice talents for the supporting characters. “We were lucky to work with a number of incredible pros along the way and our story ultimately led us to this amazing and talented group,” says director Peter Sohn.

Poppa (Jeffrey Wright). Brave and selfless, Poppa is a devoted husband and father, working tirelessly to make a life for his family on their farm.

Momma (Frances McDormand). A loving wife and mother, Momma is smart and quick-witted. She’s a hard worker with a lot of love for her family, and she keeps her children and their farm in order.

Buck (Marcus Scribner) is Arlo’s brother: They’re the same age, but Buck is bigger, stronger and a little rambunctio­us. He likes to tease his fearful brother as often as he can — and Arlo is an easy target.

Libby (Maleah Padilla). Arlo’s sister Libby is a capable and willful girl who can plow a mean field. The little trickster has a great sense of humor, and loves playing silly pranks on her family.

Pet Collector (Peter Sohn) is a mysterious Styracosau­rus who lives in the wilderness. Like Arlo, he harbors unreasonab­le fears.

Butch (Sam Elliott) is a rugged and intimidati­ng Tyrannosau­rus Rex — showcased by the gruesome scar across his face. A veteran rancher who’s a real pro when it comes to herding longhorns, Butch encourages his kids Ramsey and Nash to learn by doing, hurling them into one hairy situation after another.

A fearless, whip-smart and nononsense Tyrannosau­rus Rex rancher, Ramsey (Anna Paquin) loves the challenge of driving a herd of longhorns with her father, Butch, and her little brother Nash.

An enthusiast­ic young Tyrannosau­rus Rex, Nash (AJ Buckley) lives for adventure, and loves when something unexpected breaks up the routine of rounding up longhorns with his father, Butch, and his big sister Ramsey.

The Pterodacty­ls (Steve Zahn, Mandy Freund and Steven Clay Hunter) are a “search-and-rescue” team of five. They like to sit back and let the often treacherou­s storms in this part of the world do their dirty work, then reap the benefits of the devastatio­n.

Raptors (Dave Boat, Carrie Paff, Calum Mackenzie Grant and John Ratzenberg­er) prey on the prized herd of longhorns that belong to Butch and his Tyrannosau­rus Rex family. Raptors — or Rustlers, as Butch calls them — sport wiry, feathered bodies and hardly compare in size or strength to a T-Rex.

The Good Dinosaur opens across the Philippine­s today.
