It's been out a while, but I finally caught The Good Dinosaur recently, and really enjoyed it. Maybe it was because the lukewarm reviews and underwhelming box office numbers caused me to lower my expectations, but I thought it was a perfectly good movie about a dinosaur family and how its youngest member (the runt of the litter) repeatedly tried to distinguish himself.
Certainly the usual Pixar quality control was in place: the visuals were beautiful, the voice work and music were top-notch, and the story was decent, with many exciting and moving elements. Honestly, I thought it was as good as anything Pixar has put out.
Of course, it may have helped that I saw the movie in one of those theaters that serve food and adult beverages before and during the movie. In addition to some snacks, I enjoyed the movie along with a beer and a chardonnay. Maybe they helped push the whole experience up a notch or two.
