What happened to Spot’s parents in the Good Dinosaur?


This is a frequently asked question on Google. I’m providing an answer here.


Warning: This contains spoilers for the Good Dinosaur.


We find out what happened to Spot’s parents in the scene where Arlo uses sticks to explain to Spot that he misses his family.


To Arlo’s surprise, Spot then gathers up three sticks, one to represent Spot, and two to represent his parents. After Spot plants the sticks in the ground and draws a circle around them, he buries the two parent sticks into the sand.


We learn from this that Spot’s own parents have died. He is alone now, but has found a friend in Arlo.
