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.

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.
