The Good Dinosaur

In a land before time where dinosaurs walked the earth an Apatosaurus named Arlo (Raymond Ochoa) would be forced to test his mettle and return home after an epic journey across the mountains and plains. Guided by an odd human companion named spot (Jack Bright), Arlo will need to face his fears to become the good dinosaur he’s always wanted to be. gooddino Directed and partially written by Peter Sohn, this Pixar adventure certainly lives up to and surpasses expectations in animation detail and texture to the point at times it’s hard to believe you’re looking at a computer generated image and not a real forest, field, or river; the bar of standards and expectations just keeps getting raised higher and higher. Meanwhile, the story itself doesn’t exactly offer viewers a whole lot new, but, any time you can get Sam Elliot to play the voice of a grizzled T-Rex telling campfire stories, you can’t be in that bad of company can you? A fine family ticket this weekend. The Good Dinosaur is rated PG.
