I don't think it's great or anything, but the reaction to it was a prime example of an Internet echo chamber hatefest. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Oh my god. GOOD DINOSAUR is so damn fucking wonderful. I'm so glad kids films like this exist. It's astonishingly well made, I guess that's to be expected when these guys have been doing this for over two decades, but god it's remarkable just how talented the folks at Pixar really are. Obviously it is a much simpler film than Inside Out, but it's possibly Pixar's best told story. Alone in the cinema, I flooded all the empty chairs with my tears. I just sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. It was such a joyous and moving experience, shame it is a financial failure (and we all thought Pixar could do no wrong at the box office) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 How was Sanjay's Super Team? I'll see TGD whenever, but I'm really curious about the short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SST is a design experiment. It doesn't stand on its own as a short film, it's not sweet or funny or cute, but it's just a space for Pixar to experiment with different colours, animation styles, lighting effects etc. It's cool to see Pixar do some 2D animation but that's about it, the short as a whole is not particularly good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I find Pixar feature shorts a hit and miss, their early ones are good and the ones related to characters from their films like the Toy Story ones are funny but the newer ones aren't as good. WDAS does seem to have a way to experiment with new technology with their shorts while being entertaining like with Get a Horse! Feast, Paperman etc and the ones like Frozen Fever are pretty decent as well. I wish other studios would do more shorts, Warner Bros did a few CG Looney Tunes shorts but they seem to have stopped and to me, a short with say the Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry etc would help bring their characters back into the public eye. The current Mickey Mouse shorts on Disney Channel are really good and hilarious as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Really enjoyed this. It's so simple storytelling but effective as well. So sweet. I definitely will take my little ones to see it once I'm home for break. Hoping its BO pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I can't believe there's been some controversy over the film being too upsetting for kids... like, all the classic kids movies have dealt with heavy subject matter, and it's important that they do so. Some parents need to grow up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some parents need to grow up. I didn't think it was upsetting at all (story wise). But we've had a few parents complain about when Spoiler Spot rips the head off the Beatle. Which is stupid, why would they complain to the concessionist if they're unhappy with the content of the movie. Jeez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seduh Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 In Argentina it opens at around 300k, a very good opening. I expect it to have nice legs so not to be such a disapointment. I didn't watch it already, but next week i will take my nephiew to see this as i'm really exited. Every studio can have a disapointment, but i hope it is a great film. If it can make $180 dom and $250 OS, it will be disapointing but not a flop and considering dvd, blu ray and merchandasing it could be a minor hit (not an economical loss).

Halba Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) just an average looking movie. 6.6/10 RT ave is prolly an all time low for pixar original non sequel. heck even Cars has a better RT ave rating.

Everytime a studio has a film that flops or underperforms badly,a whole bunch of people who have no understanding of the business world predict doom and gloom for that studio. It had to happen eventually;Pixar eventually had to produce a dud.But still,it will not be a big dud and Pixar will suffer only minor losses on the film,and although the chances it will make any real profit are probably slim, it still has a reasonable chance of breaking even And if you had to have a flop,this might be the least damaging time for it, given the huge cushion the gigantic sucess of Inside Out has Given Pixar. And they have Finding Dory coming up,which ,although I have my doubts about quality vis a vis Finding Nemo,seems like a sure fire money maker for Pixar.
