Neil deGrasse Tyson imagines the world of 'The Good Dinosaur'


Neil deGrasse Tyson may be the toughest sci-fi movie critic out there. But he's giving Pixar's The Good Dinosaur (kind of) a pass, by not questioning the realities of its science and instead trying to imagine what the world would actually be like if man and dinosaur roamed the Earth together.

In a video for Gizmodo, Tyson says that the world depicted in The Good Dinosaur would be possible if the meteor missed and didn't take the world's largest predators out of the equation -- but only if all those dinosaurs would be limited to one land mass so that other mammals could evolve into humans.

Then, for dinosaurs and humans to meet, dinosaurs would have to be carried over across oceans, and we'd ... probably be eaten.

Oh well, you tried, Neil.

The Good Dinosaur hits theaters Nov. 25.
