The Good Dinosaur (2015)

So, it looks like Pixar is dropping two original movies in a single year—honestly, can they both actually be masterpieces? Probably not. In my book, Inside Out is definitely the standout hit here, but as for The Good Dinosaur... I mean, it’s a solid watch, but you kind of feel like you've seen this story before? It hits all those predictable beats, even if there are some genuinely sweet moments tucked away. Still, it beats some of their recent stuff like Brave, Cars 2, or Monsters University.

My take: if you're looking for something to watch, go for it—it's definitely not a waste of time. I bet a ton of people will love it, especially kids who just want to see dinosaurs running around.

While this movie might have its merits, there's really no question that the absolute gold standard for dinosaur animation remains the original 🙏The Land Before Time🙏🙏

The Good Dinosaur doesn't quite hit the masterpiece status of Inside Out, but Pixar still delivered a very solid film this time around.
