{4.5\/5} “Sometimes you gotta get through your fear to see the beauty on the other side.”<\/p>\n
The Good Dinosaur<\/strong>, released in 2015<\/p>\n Arlo and his family are farmers — they’re also dinosaurs. His mom and dad built a silo to keep their food away from scavengers. When they were done, they put their marks on it. When his brother Buck cleared a field, he put his mark on it. When his sister Libby planted a field, she put her mark on it. How will Arlo make his mark? When Arlo gets swept down river, he has to find his way home — along the way he runs into a human he names Spot.<\/p>\n What if the meteor missed Earth and the dinosaurs survived?<\/p>\n This is the latest Pixar animated movie.<\/p>\n The animation is gorgeous, of course — it would have been splendid to see on the big screen. The characters are delightful and the story is funny and sad.<\/p>\n I liked how the tyrannosaurus rex characters were good guys — unlike any other dinosaur story where they would be bad guys.<\/p>\n There are lots of movies about journeys home, but this one is worth watching — it’s beautiful.<\/p>\n Unlike most other Pixar movies, there’s nothing clever about the premise — there’s no particular reason why the characters have to be dinosaurs. Of course, you can never have too many dinosaurs.<\/p>\n Frances McDormand and Sam Elliott provide voices. Directed by Peter Sohn (additional story artist on Brave<\/strong>). The majestic music is by Mychael Danna and Jeff Danna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “Sometimes you gotta get through your fear to see the beauty on the other side.” The Good Dinosaur, released in 2015 Arlo and his family are farmers — they’re also dinosaurs.
