Now, the trailer for The Good Dinosaur is all sorts of cute and cuddly, but why is this even a thing in 2015? Dinosaurs died out 65 million years before the first humans showed up, so again, why is this even a thing?
I find these things annoying. Yes, there’s all sorts of adventure, and beautiful graphics, friendship, nice montages, the usual Pixar stuff… But, just because it’s a kids movie, doesn’t mean it should stray so far from being accurate. It seems a bit lazy to me, and intellectually dishonest. You be the judge, though.
