Atom User Reviews for The Good Dinosaur
Very interesting movie. My nephew had fun howling with the characters and was very into the movie.
It would be nice to find a good kids movie that is not so depressing and full of dark moments. Left the movie early because kids were scared and sad.
Such a sweet little movie! Heartwarming
Love the good dinosaur very cute!
for a pixar film, it lacked memorable characters. I couldn't remember one name if you asked me right now.
my kids loved it! !! we've seen it twice!
a little too scary for 3 year olds
Great movie. A little on the scary side for young ones or the easily scared. Short film before it is quite scary. Such a tearjerker!
Best movie ; since we saw Inside Out!
Loved The Good Dinosoar! Such a great plot and moral.
Metacritic
It's smart in surprising ways, daring in a few minor ones, moving in the right ones.
While the story attempts the moves that a Pixar film typically makes—nonverbal storytelling, death, a bittersweet ending—most of The Good Dinosaur’s punches land soft, made worse by the disconnect that exists between the overly cartoonish style of the characters and the photorealistic landscapes.
It makes you wince at the fragility of life while simultaneously welling up at the wonder of it – and that unexpected mixing of the sentimental and the existential left me feeling what can only be described as aww-struck.
