Good Dinosaur, The

Very charming family-oriented movie with great animation! When I say family-oriented, I don't mean that it's just safe for kids to watch, but that at its heart is a theme of what it means to be a member of a family. The premise of the movie is that the extinction of dinosaurs didn't happen 65 million years ago, (the asteroid misses the earth), and we have an alternate reality where dinosaurs (Arlo's family, the T-Rex family he later meets) have advanced to the point of being able to talk and run farms (for the plant-eaters) and cattle ranches (the T-Rex's). Humans are not the dominant species, as pack animals similar to wolves, they live in families (the theme, again), are intelligent hunter-gatherers, and haven't developed speech yet. If you don't get caught up in the paleobiology and such realities that Apatosaurs were extinct millions of years before T-Rex was around, and other logical flaws (remember, it's just a movie), it's very enjoyable and fun. In homage to earlier Disney flicks, they retained the stylistic form of the mid-century Disney dinosaurs (think of Dino in the Flintstones rather than the realism of the raptors in Jurrasic Park movies). The writing is well done, with verbal humor that is surprisingly subtle for a kid's movie. I enjoyed scene after scene of just the dialogue. The human critter, Spot, has no dialogue, but his facial and body language are superbly done. The bonus features are very interesting, and one part explains the fallacies in the movie, setting the record straight, as well as detailing the people involved in making the movie, and how the movie developed from their experiences on their research working with a real family who runs a ranch. Though the dinosaurs are stylized and somewhat cartoonish, the animation of the environment is jaw-droppingly realistic. It's clearly based on Yellowstone or the Grand Tetons parks, trees' leaves and needles sway in the winds, the moving clouds throw shadows on the hillsides, the coloration of the river pebbles and the dinosaurs' skin textures are hyper-realistic, the water in the rivers and ponds realistically move and scatter the light. In some scenes, as the "camera" pans around, there are computer-generated artifacts of internal reflections of the sunlight on the camera "lenses" that just subtly pop in and out to make you think that a real camera was being used, when you know it wasn't, which shows how painstakingly the artists worked on this! It's a very clever trick that subconsciously works well. If you have kids, then get this and watch it with them, you may find that you enjoy it more than they!

One of my top favorite animated movies. If you love Toy Story & most of Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar then watch this. It has top notch gorgeous animation. The scenery is beautiful & all the dinosaurs are awesome. The story teaches good lessons about how we each grow up at different speeds. Arlo is a smaller more timid dinosaur who takes longer than his brothers to grow up. One day he gets goes out with his father but a storm floods the river & they get separated from each other. He is all alone, hungry, & very frightened when a little human boy brings him berries to eat. He leads Arlo to more berries & that's the start of their friendship. They hang out from then on. Arlo slowly gains courage & learns how to survive. The ending is fantastic. Arlo saves Spot from some mean birds trying to kill him but then they both fall over a waterfall. Spot isn't breathing when they wash up on shore. Arlo blows air on his face which makes Spot gasp & take a breath. As they go about their adventures together Spot keeps howling at the moon & hears another human howling back. A couple times he catches a glimpse of other humans like him but Arlo doesn't want Spot to leave him so they walk away. At the end when Arlo finally finds his old home where he grew up Spot also sees those humans again. Arlo wants Spot to stay with him but sees that Spot belongs with the other humans. Arlo pushes Spot towards them & Spot checks them out but he keeps coming back because he can't leave Arlo. Arlo pushes him away & draws a circle around him & the humans signifying that he belongs with them & they make up a family. Spot understands & joins the humans. Arlo goes on to his home & is reunited with his family. I love how this movie shows how creatures that haven't mastered language learned how to communicate through drawings in the sand & how they found each other in the wilderness by howling. I was crying like a baby with happiness at the end. I don't see how anyone wouldn't like this. It's a really good movie. I highly recommend it.

This is a really awesome movie for kids My boys love it it's always been one of their favorite movies. It came completely sealed, still in the holders, and didn't have scratches

What an adorable and perfect twist on the old tale of a dog and his boy! Pixar has always been known for its tear-jerking, laugh till you pee, family fun cartoonery, and the Good Dinosaur is another in a long line of great movies. Spot, the little human boy, is so perfectly puppy-like and yet fully human in a very real sense. He's relateable and likeable on a primitive level (no pun intended) that every user identifies with. Arlo, the dinosaur, is the youngest son in a loving family of five and portrays the awkward adolescent. He tries desperately to defeat his fears of chickens and his clumsiness at chores so that someday he can be worthy of placing his mark on the world. Pixar did such a wonderful job of working together this story of growth and adventure. They manage to simultaneously break your heart with a moment of tragedy and then sew it carefully back together again through the rest of the hour's intricate web of this unlikely duo's bonding together not as pet and owner, but as friends. tldr: cried, laughed, aww'ed, cried more, regained faith in humanity (and dinosaur-ity??).

I felt compelled to write a review since so many others wrote negative reviews that I feel misjudged the film. As almost everyone else has stated, the film is beautiful and takes Pixar visuals to another level. You won't be disappointed there. However, the film does deal with what some may deem as "mature themes". It's up to you, as a parent, to decide what you want your child to see. It deals with loss, family, friendship, and overcoming your fears. For the most part, they are themes that are present in most cartoons and animated films. The other thing some people have taken issue with is the element of death or killing. Personally, I don't have a problem with this. Death is a part of life and leaving it out of a film like this would do an injustice to the story. It wasn't overly gory as some users have described and is done in the most PG way possible. The "real life" elements of this film are, in my opinion, what really makes it stand out. It's not your typical Disney fare, it's not a sugar coated fairytale, but life isn't either. I appreciate this film for being different and crafting valuable life lessons out of real life themes. It's very well done and if you're not sure whether or not to show it to your kids, watch it yourself first, but please don't flat out dismiss it!

I bought this for a child because it is good and wholesome. I can let him watch it without worry. It is a nice story about being kind and helpful and loving and letting go and doing ones best and making the best of ones life even after loss. Entertaining, full of adventure.

I have to say this movie is...... AMAZING!.. Tears and all, sadness and happiness, I cannot start to explain how well written the story is. Great for kids and parents, the only thing I regret is not seeing it sooner. I have never wrote a review for a movie before now, and I have written this because I am reading bad reviews/ratings. People keep comparing it to other pixar films, yes it is different in the way characters were drawn, but it makes it UNIQUE. I watched 'the good dinosaur' Today on Xfinity, not knowing what to expect as I had not looked at any reviews and I had only watched a 30 second trailer... So, before it started I was slightly sceptical, thinking that it was going to be very kiddish! Then the film started.. through most of the film, my daughters and I were in tears! (My husband looked sooo into the movie too very focused on the story) It is the most heartwarming, emotional, animated film I have watched and it really touched my heart, some of the scenes in the film were so brilliantly thought out to show real messages! There was one scene where I was in floods of tears, the scene dealt with a serious theme, but did it so brilliantly! (you'll know what I mean if you watch it!) At the end our eyes were still watering! (Of a good warm feeling) All I am saying is do not listen to the bad reviews. Most of them will be expecting something complex but, this film is really not about that! This film is inspiring! Especially for children! It is a simple film, but the subtle messages, such as overcoming your fears, the importance of family, and making your mark were heartwarming, and make you think, a lot! And for those reviews that said the film scared their child? Well, I mine did cry at 2 important points, first of sadness and throughout the film they were asking questions, laughing, and full of excitement! And the second was by the ending but of happiness. This film was very funny, but emotional at the right times, with a great plot that really makes you think! I loved this film a lot more than other Pixar films such as wall-E, Up or Toy Story. Yes, I know that these films have imaginative, classic plots, but this film teaches you a lot more than they do, and also makes you feel for the characters! So go ahead and watch! But don't listen to the bad reviews! You will be wanting to write against the bad reviews as well. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

The Good Dinosaur- Amazing and a must for the family. We have seen it two times so I wanted to purchase it since it had such a wonderful message. In my opinion it is very spiritual and shows that there is another life beyond this one , how we are blessed even when we feel that life is hard , or taken things from us ,then before we even know it we are blessed and its not always as we think. I wish every family would see this. Please pay attention to the details, my daughter is 8 and she pointed out a few things to me that I did not notice at first. Small things but that leave an excellent message. I want to tell so much however if I do it would spoil the movie for ya. This would be good for a Sunday School or even a Bible school class for kids and parents. I cried and the 8 year old cried, during touching portions of this both sad and happy. This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Love is all around us be it seen with or without the eyes. That's why I made an actual purchase rather than a rental.

nothing wrong & watch it

The Good Dinosaur is just a "good" pixar flick, nothing out of the top drawer to be honest. It's an ok movie which had its moments but i wanted something more from this. Pixar has a knack of making people cry but this movie wasn't that emotional & is disposable. It's not that re-watchable. Animation is top notch. The background sceneries look photo-realistic but the dinosaurs look a lil bland. Movie: 7/10. I got a free bluray of Beverly hills Chihuahua 2 with it. I hv another copy of this movie & with that i got Toy story 1 free👍👍❤️

Super...👍 Dts hd master audio 😍

Tout était parfait: la livraison, le cd et le boîtier. Un bon film pour les jeunes qui adorent les dinosaures avec sa version française. Très satisfaite.
