One of the most emotional aspects of Disney/Pixar's animated The Good Dinosaur is young Arlo's relationship with his Apatosaurus father, and how the loss of his dad spurs Arlo on to becoming his own man — or dino, as it were.

But there was a whole sequence where the two bonded early on that ended up on the cutting-room floor when finishing the film, which comes out on Blu-ray, DVD, digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere on Tuesday.

This exclusive deleted scene shows storyboards of Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa in the film) and his papa (Jeffrey Wright) crafting the silo that would house grain and food for their family, a montage that director Peter Sohn likens to a kid building a car with his dad.

In the final cut of Good Dinosaur, the silo plays an important role as a visual metaphor for Arlo's place in his clan — and in introducing Arlo's new friend Spot (Jack Bright) — but its construction sequence was nixed by Sohn ultimately because it showed Arlo as weak and incapable, Sohn explains. "It just didn’t take us very far in terms of Arlo’s journey."
