The Good Dinosaur

This is Pixar's 16th movie and it's their 2nd film they've released in 2015 which is the first time they've ever released 2 movies in 1 year. I only saw it tonight and I was a little worried if I would be able to see it, because tonight is the last night it's being shown in Ireland. What's the story? It's starts off millions of years ago when dinosaurs still lived. It shows the meteor about to hit earth but it just passes by the planet like a shooting star. In present day, Dinosaurs are still alive and one family of dinosaurs live on a farm with the youngest named Arlo. His family all do special things that allows them to put a paw print on a silo. So Arlo has tried to do a bunch of things so he can join his family on the silo but he keeps screwing up. One day his dad gives him the job to trap a creature that's been eating their corn. When he does, he realises that it's a human boy. He releases him and his dad gets angry with him for not killing him. The dad then takes Arlo up a mountain where the boy went to kill him out of anger. But after Arlo hurts himself, his dad feels sorry and they begin to turn back. As they're going back, a lightning storm occurs which makes a lot of water come toward the 2 of them. The dad gets Arlo higher up but then he's washed away and killed. Sometime later while Arlo is feeling sad and doing work, he sees the boy again and gets angry at him, thinking he's the reason his dad's dead. He chases him but accidently falls into a river and get knocked out. When he wakes up he's somewhere far away from home and when he going back he tries to get some berries off a tree but the rock he's standing on slips and he gets his foot stuck. He falls asleep and when he wakes up, he finds someone has dug his leg out. He find out it was the boy and he finds him again and he gives Arlo some berries and for some reason, the boy acts like a dog. After a run in with some trouble, the boy saves Arlo and Arlo begins to like him and he calls him Spot. As time passes they become good friends, some different dinosaurs try to take Spot and some dinosaurs help them. So let's go over the good stuff. Well firstly, the animation is amazing. This probably the 2nd or 3rd best looking Pixar movie. The best one is Finding Nemo. And also, the characters, though not that great, are likeable. The side-characters are also fun to watch. I really like the T-Rex family that help them out. They're kinda funny and the voice acting is pretty good. And even though I do like Arlo, I do have to admit that he's not the strongest Pixar protagonist, if you know what I mean. He is my favourite in the film, but it's worth mentioning. And also there is a lot of heart to the movie. It is heart-warming and there are some sad moments. Now let's go over the 1 or 2 problems. Firstly the story isn't that well written and some of it is kind of predicable. The  pacing as well is kinda uneven at times. And my main complaint is the villains. Not that they're bad, they're just a little too over the top and they're not in the movie that much. But I still thought they were enjoyable. The villains are a bunch of pterodactyls trying to eat Spot. But aside from that, this film is still good. Not Pixar good if you know what I mean, and it's definitely not as good as Inside Out, but it's still good. When it comes out on DVD. Check it out, it's worth an hour and a half of your time.
