The Good Dinosaur (2015)

The Good Dinosaur may not be the best Pixar movie of the year, but it’s still one of the better animations of the year.  What makes The Good Dinosaur so interesting is how conventional and unconventional it is.  The way its story is structured is much like other animations, but what makes it different is how dark the film gets at times.  There are moments the movie feels a little too adult for kids, but that is one of the elements of the film that I like so much.  For example, you actually see Arlo form wounds that actually look unpleasant.  There are too many animations that are way too kid-friendly.  Another trait of the film I really enjoyed is how quiet and peaceful the film is at times.  The gorgeous animation style and the sound design combine to form a calming film.

The Good Dinosaur is worth watching!

7.7/10.0
