The Good Dinosaur (2015) 8/10

Starring : Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand, Raymond Ochoa, Jack Bright
Director : Peter Sohn
Running Time : 94 mins

In an alternate earth where the meteor that killed the dinosaurs missed, humans developed alongside dinosaurs, who became intelligent and developed agriculture and everyday skills. When Arlo (Ochoa) witnesses the death of his father (Wright), he blames a human boy names Spot (Bright), as they had been tracking him down. When Arlo falls into a river and is swept away from the rest of his family, he forms an unlikely friendship with Spot as he tries to find his way back home.

Although probably not the best of the Pixar movies, this sits somewhere in the middle, which still makes it a very enjoyable film. My two year old absolutely loved it and knew the characters names off by heart within thirty minutes and was talking about Arlo and Spot like he’d known them forever. The animation is slick, and the simple storyline is enjoyable and full of action.
