Good Dinosaur and Up are both interesting cases of Pixar's environment team exploring if they could use Google Earth (and equivalents) for location scouting, to the point where Good Dinosaur used a lot of direct satellite imagery and terrain data to bootstrap the animation process. Which is fascinating technically, but absolutely an interesting comparison to the less realistic approaches of everything else in the film. Up they managed it quite well because the real place they found as example is fantastic enough to support the rest of the film and the pulp adventure storyline supported that uncanny valley realism; The Good Dinosaur did not find something fantastic enough nor did it really support the story near as well.
