I generally liked all PixarDisney movies, to varying degrees. That being said, I definitely had high hopes for The Good Dinosaur. After all, dinosaurs alone sound more exciting than a couple of fish in the sea, rightSPOILER ALERT. The Good Dinosaur TGD has its moments. There are the clear values of family and the life lesson of growing up and facing your fears seriously, that is mentioned aloud how many times in the movie. There are the emotional, tear jerking scenes. There is character development and growth to an extent in an obvious plotline. But something about TGD was different. What sticks out the most is the portrayal of the human characters in this alternate universe. Some may call it dehumanizing, because thats exactly what it is. But that word only makes sense in a world where we have become the top intellectual species. Its humbling and amusing to think of what might have been if the history of the Earth had taken a different path. So I could suspend the awkward feelings I initially had when I first saw Spot, thinking it would ultimately teach a lesson about us humans in the world just as Wall E criticized society. But I doubt TGD meant anything more by it than I already mentioned it was just an alternate universe where humans did not come out on top. There were a lot of scenes atypical of DisneyPixar movies. They caught me by surprise. The movie didnt seem completely kid friendly, a notion validated by its PG rating. There were barbaric moments, including Spot with the bugs head and Thunderclaw with the free critter. I really had to ask myself, Is this really a DisneyPixar movieThis movie just keeps getting weirder. So by the time Spot took a chunk out of Thunderclaws wing, I was unfazed. Then there was the moment with the bad fruitpsychedelicdrug suggesting scene. Was that really necessaryUltimately, TGD ended too soon for me. Not as in this movie is so good I need more of it but rather, it felt incomplete. Personally, I didnt experience catharsis the emotional release you feel at the end of a storymovie when everything is resolved. I still had questions, and Im not sure I was OK with how everything worked out. Arlos Poppa died, and Arlo no longer blamed it on Spot. Im guessing Arlo realized that if he hadnt been afraid to do his job earlier, his father would still be alive. So Arlo realizes the blame lies largely with him and his fears. But his job was to MURDER a critter Spot, and what lesson was his dad teaching him thereHello, is this a DisneyPixar movie, advocating killing Poppa was quite nonchalant about it, too. Ignoring that, has Arlo vindicated himself by the end Has he grown enough to compensate for his fathers deathThat I am not sure of. Theres also that weird moment with Arlo talking to his Poppa in his imagination, and Arlo exclaims that he loves Spot. Uhm, weird, even just the WAY he said it. Half the movie, he blames Spot for his fathers tragic death, and then Arlo loves Spot like a young boy loves his beloved pet dog. Character growthdevelopmentI guess. Then there are the logical flaws, but suspension of disbelief is required in most movies. For fun, Ill still point out a few. Somehow, Spot travels the entire distance Arlo got washed down the river. Buy Strawberry Shortcake: Adventures On Ice Cream Island Movie Online. That is impressive, judging by the return journey Arlo takes home. Secondly, Arlo gets caught full force by the mudslideraging torrents of water AND falls down a waterfall, and somehow survives. But his tough Poppa died from a similar fate Not to mention the endless hits Arlo sustained to his head. And lastly, just to be nit picky, Arlo draws the circle in the ground around Spot and his family without moving from his standing spot. Hes not tall enough nor does he have a neck long enough to realistically do that. I look at the positives of this film. The scenery and animations are gorgeous, top notched. Emotions are jerked, laughs had. Lessons can be found. There are clever play on wordsideas storm birds, the scene with their head in the clouds, Spot as a lone wolf. Lets say that I accept that the film requires a more mature perspective, and that the uncharacteristic scenes mentioned above ultimately dont bother me. Would I say TGD is a good movie Sadly no. It was just lacking for me. It didnt feel as complete as all of DisneyPixars other works.
