The seven-year-old dinosaur expert within me protests that no dinosaur had a neck like the U-bend in a toilet.

This looks atrocious. I won’t be surprised if it’s actually okay-to-good, but I have no interest in seeing an ultra-cartoony dinosaurs-and-cavemen movie. Even something like The Land Before Time had a sense of naturalism that’s appealing in a dinosaur film—there’s an element of tourism to a past, alien time. This just seems too cutesy, familiar and comfortable.

Killjoys.
I'm looking forward to this. I really do think this stands a good chance to be Pixar's comeback year...now if only the next few years they were more focused on originals than sequels...

The trailer showed before Inside Out, and all Lifemate and I could think of was the "Evergreen" episode of Adventure Time.

Wow, this really came and went, didn't it? Is this Pixar's first out and out bomb?
I got back from taking my daughter. It's kind of a mess. Lots of tonal whiplash. The "hero" falls and gets knocked out so many times it's a miracle he can still function by the end of the movie.
The scenery and vistas are beautiful. The ending did actually get to me, despite the stuff that came before. But definitely an inferior effort.

This movie will always have the distinction of being the first movie my daughter saw in a movie theater. It is also, for now, the only movie my daughter has seen that I have not. Her grandparents took her. This was weeks and weeks ago, and today when she sees people she'll still open the conversation with, "I had popcorn!!!"

It actually is a bomb, it only made 19 mil over the production budget, but they spent like 150 mil on marketing and needed like 500 to break even. It is at 219.
I would just rather see land before time again.
Also, this probably bombed due to the competition from the peanuts movie, mockingjay part 2, creed, star wars, etc. Sure it may have been the movie where people could take kids, but Pixar makes butt tons of money due to crossover appeal not just kids and there was a lot of stuff that was more appetizing. Good dino just wasn't set up for a sustained run because competition was insane this year.

Good dino just wasn't set up for a sustained run because competition was insane this year. Only Peanuts was a direct competitor at the time of release. I mean yeah, Star Wars, but that was 3 weeks later. It just seemed underpromoted (despite the 150 mil marketing budget?). I think they knew what they had and put everything into Inside Out instead, which was a wise move. Which is weird, because 9.9 times out of 10, you tell me "Pixar Dinosaur Movie" and the only thing I wonder is how many multiples of billion it's going to make. It's kinda fascinating how this managed to get screwed up. |
