How many of you saw the movie The Good Dinosaur when it was out in theaters? If you were able to see it, did you enjoy it? I never got to see the movie til recently. In fact, The Good Dinosaur was just released yesterday, 2/24. That means the movie is now out there and ready for you to pick up your own copy.
My whole family sat down to watch this movie a couple of days ago. We really enjoyed watching it to. It’s movies that are animated like these ones that our whole family enjoys. They’re great movies for children to watch, yet adults always enjoy watching them as well. Some of my favorite movies are the animated ones that are targeted more towards children. They always seem to come up with more great animated movies like this one.
The Good Dinosaur is a Disney, Pixar movie. I don’t know about you, but those are some of my favorites too. I think Pixar/Disney does an amazing job of making movies. Arlo is the main dinosaur character in this movie. He’s got some fears that he’s always afraid to face, but when it comes time he is ready to face his fears. He’ll end up going on a long journey and meet a new friend along the way. His name is Spot and he’s a human. This shows that anyone can become friends even if you’re very different.
They’ll travel through a harsh and mysterious landscape where they’ll run in to all sorts of things. There are many things they’re going to have to face and be brave about while they’re on this journey. Spot and Arlo will be able to work together to get to where they need to be. Arlo will learn the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.
My whole family loved this movie. We thought there were some funny parts and even some heartwarming parts to the movie. We would all highly recommend picking up your own copy of this movie. My youngest daughter has been wanting to watch this movie again, so we plan on watching it again tomorrow. It’s always nice when there is a movie that my daughters enjoy so much that they want to watch it again.
There are some free dinosaur activities you can download. You just have to click on the photo above. I hope you enjoy them! There are also some bonus features to the movie. I would highly recommend watching these bonus clips. I think they’re always fun to watch.
