Pixar is a phenomenal studio that has produced countless instant classics over the past 20 years. This movie is the end of the streak. First off, there is absolutely no plot. This little dinosaur is supposed to kill this little caveman boy for his father (who seems like a real price of work by the way) and the whole ordeal ends up killing his father and the dinosaur floats away with the caveman boy and the two become unlikely friends as they both search for their families. The caveman boys family is hardly developed at all and we have no idea why he is abandoned and forced to steal food from a dinosaur family. As they go on their little journey, there is little to no plot. Not only that, but this film is not at all original. In fact, it seemed like a complete rip off of the lion king. You know, little animal is not taken seriously, father killed under circumstances that may or may not be the fault of the child. Child goes on journey of self discovery and takes his place as the head of the family. In fact, even the fathers death scene was reminiscent of the lion king. And it was much sadder the first time. In short, this movie is not worth your time. Go watch toy story instead. Remind yourself what Pixar used to be. Better yet, watch the lion king. It's exactly the same story.
