User blog comment:Patricier21/Pixar should learn from The Good Dinosaur/@comment-31924693-20160605184517

I think the scene in question was paying homage to one of the classic scenes from animation, namely the drunken hallucination scene from Dumbo. I don't think it had any major impact on the movie as a whole; as stated below, it was just a BLAM, it came from nowhere and was over almost as soon as it had begun. Besides, Pixar had to find somewhere to slip in the Luxo Ball, and without this scene that might have been difficult. :)
