Summary
A young and very American dinosaur, voiced by Raymond Ochoa, goes on a journey of self-discovery after being washed down river.
I won’t go after the voice actor for the lead dinosaur, he was a kid at the time and as such it is low hanging fruit, however, it was a terrible performance. If someone else of more experience had voiced the lead dinosaur then maybe it would have been better than what we got, which was incredibly bland.
Indeed, lifeless and dull are two words that describe this film down to a tee. In the past I have said that I prefer films that are bad to ones that are boring and this is a perfect example of that. This film is so deeply by the numbers that it is neither good nor bad just incredibly forgettable.
The story of the film was likewise played out, you have seen this before it takes the concept nowhere new and has very little fun with it either. Think about the heart and soul of the Land Before Time films and imagine the same sort of idea but without any of the charm and you have this film.
Overall, certainly the worst of Pixar.
Pros.
It is watchable
Sam Elliot does a good job
Cons.
It is bland
It is generic
It doesn’t take the concept anywhere new
It lacks any kind of charm or heart
