Does this film continue the winning-streak. We both agree it does. Gabriel even thinks it might just improve on the original.

In this episode we review what we believe to be Pixar's most underrated film, The Good Dinosaur. It was released to a disappointing box office return and middling critical reception.

But on closer inspection beyond the gorgeous visuals, there are heartfelt characters and a spellbinding Man(or dinosaur) vs. Nature tale filled with danger and beauty.

One of Pixar's most unique films.

Recent Films:

James: Manchester By the Sea 1:50, Hacksaw Ridge 3:35, The Seven Adventures of Sinbad 6:10, Jurassic City 7:15, Gone Baby Gone 8:20, The Island 9:35
