The Good Dinosaur - Marc's review

Given the extraordinarily high standards set by many of their previous films (perhaps not Cars 2), Pixar's first foray into the world of dinosaurs (that aren't toys) was an exciting prospect. As it transpires, The Good Dinosaur tells a rather well-worn story with ample flair, with Pixar's deftness at handling what could otherwise be mawkish emotional moments coming to the fore. It's also stunning to look at. On the other hand, there's no getting away from the fact that it feels like something of a missed opportunity - in terms of story and especially in terms of celebrating the weird and wonderful world of dinosaurs.
