A dinosaur and his boy story. |
Poppa Henry and Momma Ida (voiced by Jeffrey Wright and Frances McDormand) have three dinosaurs but their youngest and mischievous is Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa). However, as they are hunting for food near a river, both Poppa Henry and Arlo get separated as Poppa is being carried down the river. The kids try to help Momma gather food before the winter as fast as they can without Poppa anymore. However, Arlo see a corn cob fly out of the silo and finds the boy eating the corn and blames Poppa's death on the kid. But, they both fall in the river and Arlo gets injured.
When the kid saves Arlo from being stuck, during a rain storm, Arlo provides some shelter but still does not have food. The boy comes around and brings what he thinks are suitable meals for Arlo. A few were questionable to eat but when he brings a branch with berries, Arlo is satisfied. They try to survive as they also encounter dinosaurs along the way and find some food and also try to find his family.
The luscious scenery. |
But, on the other hand, I enjoyed the movie because of the interaction between the dinosaur and the boy and also how they interact via pantomime with sticks. Plus, there is a scene that did not quite tear me up as much as their first Pixar movie this year but it is profoundly moving. Also, this is probably one of the beautifully animated movies I have ever seen with the animators delivers some luscious atmosphere and realistic settings that gets you involved in their journey. It is spellbinding. Granted, this is not a top-tier Pixar movie but it's a good movie for the family to watch. I liked it.
