Here’s a quick review of Disney/Pixar’s “The Good Dinosaur.”
SPOILER ALERT! Read at your own risk.
You or your children may have to work through your own fears while watching this movie.
“The Good Dinosaur” is rated PG. Parents need to know that this is a hard PG rating (not leaning towards a G film) for a lot of peril, scary scenes with predators, and a parent dies on screen (not off in the distance). There are many beautiful scenes with realistic photo backgrounds of forests and snow capped mountains, but also of menacing waterfalls and deadly rushing river currents.
Arlo the dino, and his adorable-but-tough companion Spot, the puppy-like human, have to overcome many obstacles, and though the message of getting through your fears is central to the story, young children may be frightened by near death scenes and close ups of Pterodactyl eating their prey.
“You are more than me, and more” Arlo’s poppa.
There’s also a scene when Arlo and Spot eat some strange berries and appear to get drunk or high. 😳
“You have to earn your mark in this world.” Poppa

This looks so cute! I want to go see this!
Great to know! We have tickets for tomorrow. Our kids are pretty tender hearted so we will have to prepare them~ and me 😉
Interesting to hear that it’s a little dark. I’m going to see it this weekend. We don’t have kids so that will be an issue, but I’d better bring tissues for myself!
This looks so cute! My husband and I will probably go since we don’t have children yet 🙂
