What if dinosaurs existed along with humans? How would that feel like? In this movie you will get a glimpse. ‘The Good Dinosaur’ movie has been told from dinosaur’s perspective where animals speak and humans don’t! Yup! And dinosaurs have evolved and they do farming and store food for winter season. Yup!
Arlo (the protagonist dinosaur) has been timid from the time of his birth and very fearful (watch how even hens scare him away big time), he loses his dad in an epic storm and he himself gets lost. On his way back he meets this human (whom he names ‘Spot’). The spot fellow is super funny. I laughed my ass off! Together they fight the odds and try making their way home.
The concept of this movie touched me. Arlo was always fearful and thought being scared is wrong and always wanted to overcome it. But the idea is not to die trying to overcome your fear, idea is, how well you can achieve your goals along with your fears (you should be able to control your fear rather than aiming for overcoming it). Well, that’s too much learning I did from an animated movie! But every movie you watch teaches you something awesome.
The movie comes out form my favorite production house – Pixar Studios. Did you read my review of the book – Creativity Inc.? No? Read it here. Its written by the President of Pixar. You will come to know how much time it takes to make an animated movie and how detailed their work has always been. FYI – the concept of this movie was conceived way back in 2009!
Movie has real good animation, and yes like the most, the 3D aspect is average and not exceptionally great. The movie has a lot of laugh out moments and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Go. Have fun.
Bonus: Ensure your baby is not crying, in that case please get up and go out. Thank you.
