T. Durgin quote iconHonestly, the five- or six-minute short that precedes The Good Dinosaur -- an Indian-themed adventure meditation titled Sanjay's Super Team -- has more innovative storytelling and effective emotions than the entirety of The Good Dinosaur.

Tomatometer quote icon: The Good Dinosaur delivers thrillingly beautiful animation in service of a worthy story that, even if it doesn't quite live up to the lofty standards set by Pixar, still adds up to charming, family-friendly entertainment.
