You ever hear of this movie? Pixar's anticipated follow-up to Inside Out? Their first EVER box office failure? Marcus certainly hadn't. We all generally agree that Pixar's standard of quality for their movies prevents them from being truly hot garbage—which is a good thing, mind you—but The Good Dinosaur lacks a fair bit of expected Pixar magic, and ends up being fairly uninteresting. Elements of its construction, like the symbolism of the River and the Storm as antagonists and the T-Rexes appearing in Act 2, are worth discussing and praising, whereas other aspects like pterodactyls and Spot leave us wanting more. Tune in when we eventually get to pandemic victim Onward sometime! Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.
