You've got to love the concept.
That asteroid that we all know wiped out the dinosaurs somewhere around 5,000 years ago, misses Earth, and early man co-exists with a more evolved (and lovable) species.
What immediately caught my eye (or didn't), perusing this film, was that I didn't know what I was seeing. Eye and brain were out of sync with one another.
I knew this to be a Disney / Pixar product, which should mean Animated, but that's not what I was seeing. Exterior locations, trees, especially water, looked...
well - real.
Have we, as humans, or more properly Pixar / Disney, reached a point at which it's almost impossible to tell animated from real?
The answer will be revealed when you screen The Good Dinosaur.
As a Blu-ray, the film is technically perfect, and up-rezzing to 4k, a magnificent velvety screen dream.
As entertainment, I don't feel it's up to Pixar's best. Let's call it second level.
