Clever and cloying by turns, its a movie that always seems to be trying to evolve beyond its conventional trappings, and not succeeding as often as Pixar devotees have come to expect. Full review

The animation in The Good Dinosaur is stunningly beautiful. Photo-realistic, even. And yet, the story is so basic, so immature, and so disjointed that the visuals are in service of a dud of a plot. Full review

The Good Dinosaur is by no means a bad movie. But it breaks new ground for Pixar in that it is the studio’s first feature that is explicitly—and pretty much exclusively—a kid’s movie. Full review

As Pixar productions go, this one isn’t a groundbreaker, but it’s heartfelt and endearing, as well as visually splendiferous, and kids will love it for sure. Full review
