Disney & Pixar's The Good Dinosaur [Blu-ray] [2015]

This visually stunning movie is one of our most beloved Disney films. Our children watched it over and over again from the age of 4 and it triggered a long lasting dinosaur fascination with our our son, several years later he is quite an expert in the field. To my surprise the Good Dinosaur only god mixed reviews when it was released. Probably because the many Pixar fans didn’t appreciate a movie that was primarily aimed at children and told from a children’s perspective. Quite a shame, since first of all it might incorrectly urge Disney to place its bets on the umpteenth standard princess movie rather than explore new themes and characters. Secondly, this is simply a brilliant, beautiful little story that has lots of emotion and fun in it. Yes there is loss, as one of Arlo’s parent dies. And this is what a lot of the puritan age-recommended sites and reviews struggle with. But come on.. life is about loss and there is a good chance young children in their family or in their surrounding experience loss, if you chose to shield them from that you’ll set them up for bigger trauma in later life. I think Disney handled this very well, perhaps even better than in Dumbo, The Lion King or Up. The straight forward storyline is about a clumsy, frightened apatosaurus Arlo that gets separated from his family. An incredibly funny growling cave-boy helps him to find his way back home. During their journey they run into a range of dinosaurs and they have to face a series of challenges - it’s almost a pre-historic on-the-road movie. The obligatory messages are there as well. This time there is a whole range as its about loss, overcoming fears, tolerance, friendship, and perseverance. Even so it remains an excellent movie that we all enjoyed greatly while watching with our young children. We bought the movie in its 3D version as we have very good equipment to play that. And our children are quite used to wearing the glasses. The movie is even more immersive and beautiful in 3D but a regular Blu ray version is included in the set as well.

Great product and great price

Happy

Lovely film! Grandson loves it Exactly as described

A heartwarming story about friendship and courage. The film has some visually beautiful moments, the craftsmanship and animation skills can be enjoyed by adults and the magic of the film my younger members of the family. The storyline is rather safe and similar to other big films like the lion king, the film teaches some strong morals through the story and lessons about, strength, love and friendship. Would recommend if you are looking for a film that all can enjoy, some might need a box of tissues to hand for the emotive scenes.

These are so comfortable and keep their shape great price brilliant quality
