Review of The Good Dinosaur (2015) by Axet — 28 Nov 2015
I'm starting to think it's me and not Pixar. The magic is mostly gone and it may not be their fault. Was it the novelty of the CG animation in all its newness that eventually wore away over 20 years? Have all the spins on familiar archetypal stories been used up? Has the wit become par for the course? I don't know exactly, but while I can see nothing particularly wrong with this movie, it didn't hold my interest strongly either.
All the elements seem to be in place and as astutely executed as ever with stunning visual detail and clever humor throughout. The over-arching story is so familiar though. This time it comes off as been there done that once too often, but for kids it's still great I'm sure.
The best of Pixar works exceedingly well for all.
