The Good Dinosaur (2016) - A Reminder.

★★★☆☆

‘The Good Dinosaur’ is not good enough to be remembered, but it’s more or less a piece of educational tearjerker for a family to sit down together some time to learn and share and keep in mind what actually matters the most to one’s life! The story’s too simple to feel thrilled, the setup a bit too weird to feel involved, the characters not memorable! Parents may find it boring and awkward at some points but certainly moving especially at the last scene. Kids would enjoy it for sure, and they may probably look at their parents and wonder when it ends, why they have to feel so sad about it.

Family and love, I guess, are things that we can’t live without. That’s what guides and leads us when we’re lost lacking sense of belonging. People who are problematic are usually those going without adequate love and care from their family. I don’t doubt the necessity of independence but we all just need a place to rest our troubled head sometimes. And one thing we must concede, that is, we all get troubled constantly, from the cradle to the grave. ‘The Good Dinosaur’ is not a classic hit like Pixar’s previous ‘Inside Out’, but it kinda works like a reminder of what we’re really supposed to hold on to in the end!
