Movie Info
Luckily for young Arlo, his parents (Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand) and his two siblings, the mighty dinosaurs were not wiped out 65 million years ago. When a rainstorm washes poor Arlo (Raymond Ochoa) downriver, he ends up bruised, battered and miles away from home. Good fortune shines on the frightened dino when he meets Spot (Jack Bright), a Neanderthal boy who offers his help and friendship. Together, the unlikely duo embark on an epic adventure to reunite Arlo with his beloved family.

The Good Dinosaur is another Pixar film that doesn't connect. The background story of how long this took to come to the screen is more interesting. The uninspired cast choices and general lack of eventful storytelling beats ended up hurting this film. Pixar are in a weird position at the moment and the original storytelling has fallen to low heights. The sequels clearly have impacted the original films, but not all of course. The Good Dinosaur hasn't got a clear storyline and doesn't click when it should. The film is amazing to look at but it's quite empty overall. This was just a mixed bag for me and never felt like the storytelling quality Pixar is known. 04/04/2020

Somewhat cartoonishly simplified animal and dinosaur characters and a plot we've seen many times before made for Pixar's least successful film of recent years. That doesn't mean this is a failure, there are moments of excitement, a very sweet and touching ending and beautifully animated landscapes. Especially children can experience a thrilling adventure here, only adults may have a harder time relating to the film than many former Pixar hits.

A family fun movie which entertains to the very end.

It is dazzling to look at (if you don't mind about all those rubber-looking characters), but Pixar aims too low with this derivative animation made for very small children - a silly, predictable and forgettable movie about facing your fears, the importance of family and whatever, who cares.
