Review of The Good Dinosaur (2015) by Danburrito — 06 Jan 2016

The Good Dinosaur is another highly enjoyable film from Pixar, even if it doesn't reach the heights of the studio's best. As can be expected from a Pixar film, the animation was stunning. I'd even go as far as to say, it just might be one of their most visually amazing films to date.

It wasn't as deep or groundbreaking as "Inside Out" but when you think about it, few movies are. The protagonists, Arlo and Spot were both very likeable and Sam Elliot gave a solid vocal performance as Butch the T-Rex.

Speaking of T-Rexes, I think Pixar deserve some recognition for making him a good guy rather than a villain or an obstacle, like most dinosaur movies do. As well as visually stunning, the movie was quite emotional- which isn't surprising for a Pixar movie.

So overall, while it lacks the complexity of previous Pixar films, The Good Dinosaur makes up for this with beautiful animation and heartfelt emotion.
