I heard that they felt the title would make perfect sense in the end, however in the end I don't think it's really all that special.
Ultimately, The Good Dinosaur is a bland title. It would apply if he wasn't the only good dino in the movie, but even the T-Rex's were cool. Yes, there were villainous dinos, but they were mostly scavengers, and not enough to make Arlo a THE good dinosaur.
So, what would a be a better title.... I'm not sure - thoughts?
The Dinosaur And The Caveman.

shareI like the title but I'm not sure exactly how it connects to the story
shareI also don't really get what the title is about. Ofcourse Arlo is a goodnatured dinosaur. But what has that got to do with the story? The Brave Dinosaur would have made more sense and would also be a bit ironic since Arlo isn't brave for a big part of the movie.
shareI think The Littlest Dinosaur would've made more sense, given the story.
[Formerly CosmosX9]
Arlo and Spot
The Dinosaur Movie
anything would have been better than a generic title like The Good Dinosaur.
Some other countries went with Arlo's Journey or Arlo and Spot. But those are pretty bland themselves and Good Dinosaur at least sounds kind of quirky.
shareIn Portugal it was named "A viagem de Arlo" wich means Arlo's Journey, and I agree that's also a bit bland. The good dinosaur it's not a bad title, I think it matches the western theme somehow.
