As stated in my previous review for Inside Out, this is my follow up review of Pixar movies that came out this year. The Good Dinosaur was developed and created by Bob Peterson and Peter Sohn, who started working on a concept in 2009. This Pixar animation did go through some production issues and was originally supposed to premiere on November 2013, but was shifted later on to a May 2014 release until finally setting a date on November 2015.
This is why I entered the movies somewhat worried, when I managed to catch a viewing on Tuesday afternoon. A movie that goes through so many production issues normally ends up being a disappointment, but The Good Dinosaur was a fun experience. It was not as good as Inside Out and had some obvious plot issues, other than that though it was an enjoyable film.
The fact that I was the only person sitting in the theatre also helped me to fully enjoy this movie, as there was no talking, no seat kicking or wild and out of control laughter. This movie experience was one of the best in years for me.
The Good Dinosaur takes place in a world where the dinos have not been extinguished by the meteor that hit the planet millions of years ago. The giant reptiles evolved and turned into ranchers and agricultures. Arlo, the youngest son of an Apatosaurus farmer family gets lost during an accident and needs to find his way back home. Along his path he meets the human Spot and together they experience one adventure after another.
There are several elements in this movie I really liked, such as the alternative reality where the dinos survived and evolved into a human like manner. I thought the story idea was smart and well developed, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it could have gone a little deeper. Overall though the film was fun and delightful, as we follow the two main characters (both outcasts of a sort) who form a bond as they are travelling the land to find their way back home.
There also was a real message behind the story and not just moving pictures with a pseudo meaning, which I liked. Arlo, the Apatosaurus who feels disconnected from his family because of his physical and psychological issues, needs to grow beyond his limitations to unlock his true potential and overcome his fears.
My biggest issue with The Good Dinosaur though was also the story, which I felt was somewhat of a rehashed plot from other Disney and Pixar movies, specifically The Lion King. I also thought that the whole concept was an attempt to bring Disney’s TV series Dinosaurs to the big screen.
The bonding between the main characters, after each experienced a tragic event, is the heart and soul of this Pixar animation. Every other friendly character that came after, just felt unnecessary and distracted from the actual plot.
Arlo was at the beginning a little bit annoying, he is afraid of everything and though smaller children might find it funny, all I could think of is how quickly he would die if he were to be in the real world. His fears also cause him to do one stupid decision after the other, which just gets him into more trouble. Once he finally starts manning up though, his softer and nicer character triads start to break through the cowardly facade.
Spot depicted the other half of Arlo, when they were together they acted like one. Although they started of as rivals, it is Spot who showed Arlo that only together both have a chance to get out alive of the wilderness and back home. Arlo’s father, a great character and well performed by Wright, reminded me a little too much of a character in The Lion King.
The Good Dinosaur has jaw-dropping and beautiful effects, especially the background animation which looked fantastic and very photo realistic. It could have been a real background taken from a documentary about nature in the valleys, particularly when I saw the water reflecting the mountains and trees.
The dinosaurs, even though more cartoony than the background animation, were designed quite nice and included a great amount of detail; I couldn’t take my eyes of the screen when I noticed that I could see all scales on the dinosaur’s body.
The only problem I had wit the animation was that the uber realistic background and the gorgeous details on the dinosaurs themselves, sometimes clashed with the cartoony design. It did not feel like these creatures belonged into that world.
Verdict: Altogether I found The Good Dinosaurto be an entertaining family movie. Children will definitely love it and adults will find moments in the plot that are very emotional or straight out disgusting/terrifying. It isn’t a movie though you specifically need to see in cinemas; if you are planning a family night, then I do recommend it, otherwise wait for the Blu-ray or DVD. I will give this Pixar animation a 7.5 out of 10.
