Review                  :

Pixar's work is the umpteenth time that features animals as their main character. Animals described have the same life as humans.

This film is so interesting because the beginning of the story that deviates from the history that we know, that dinosaurs did not become extinct after the fall of meteor shower on earth. They still survive even have a more human life, such as gardening, raising, and others. In this film also features human characters, but the primitive man who can not yet speak.

In this film, Pixar pay more attention to the visual aspect. The setting of “The Good Dinosaur” takes a lot of the natural environment because of his own story that describes Arlo's journey from the forest to his home. So, in the visual appearance is made with a very realistic, close to the original. Although, in terms of visuals very good, but in terms of the story is still lacking, that is the lack of conflict offered and only pay attention to two aspects of the character. Stories from other figures are not so depicted in this film, so impressing it as a narrow idea. However, this film is perfect as a family spectacle because the message is also derived from the dinosaur family's story. Parents and children can understand the message to be conveyed through this film.
