THE GOOD DINOSAUR

(2015) 93 Minutes, Rated  PG


A.C.’s Review:  The best way I can sum up this movie is that the decline of PIXAR is complete. You wouldn’t even guess this was the same company that made the superior TOY STORY movies.

Here we have a set-up of…what if the asteroid missed earth and didn’t wipe out the dinosaurs. Since that didn’t happen dinosaurs rule the earth and when men evolve they are just animals. A young human boy the lead dinosaur boy takes on as a pet is named “Spot” ho, ho ho…all the humor seems to come from the notion of a human being the “dog” sidekick of the movie as the young dinosaur tries to make his way home after being carried away in a flood.

As in all “road” movies they meet a plethora of characters along the way. The twist here is that it’s supposed to be a dinosaur “western”. You’ve bot “rustlers” played by Raptors. Cowboy/herders played by a T-Rex family (I will admit I liked the idea of the T-Rex being a good guy) and everybody talks with a Texas twang. And get this…the young dinosaur’s farm appears to be the homestead from SHANE with the Grand Tetons looming over head!

Completely un-entertaining and not very funny. PIXAR used to make movies adults could enjoy but they have had a successive streak of terrible offering...from BRAVE…to INSIDE OUT and now this. Plus the “short films” are so excruciating I can barely comment on them. Basically they have Politically Correct agendas they are pushing with these shorts and little kids in the audience I doubt will understand them ore like them.

I await PIXAR’s redemption with TOY STORY 4.

Best Scene: No one scene but the animation is so realistic you would have thought they had actually shot on location.

A.C.’s Rating:  Free on television.
