★★★★½ Watched 31 Jul 2019
This is probably one of the only Pixar films that I had never seen. As a Pixar film, this movie is considered a box office bomb. It definitely did not get much love. As a Disney fan, I really never even saw promotion for this film in the parks. Not much love at all.
In the film The Good Dinosaur, dinosaurs never became extinct. It’s about a family of Apatosaurus that have 3 kids. Out of the three baby dinos, one of them is a little small and slow. He can’t compete with his brother and sister in achieving greatness. He gets lost when he flows down the river. As he tries to find his way home, he meets and friends a cave baby, who is out on his home. The two of them head toward home and the story is about their journey home.
The film was scheduled to be released in 2014, but the year delay came from the story not really working. The film changed hands and major edits were made. We it finally was released, we got a movie that was happy, funny, and sad. This is exactly what Pixar is about.
Where I find that the film lacks is that there is so much down time that I can see where kids would lose interest. I enjoyed it very much and had a good cry at the end. It’s worth the watch, but can see why it’s no Toy Story.
