The Good Dinosaur is a feel good, heart warming picture that whilst technically impressive, feels like an average effort from Pixar with a mediocre story that never really stands out and falls all too often into cliches.

A Mid-Card Match The best family movies are the ones that manage to appeal to both adults and children with an original premise and jokes aimed at both. While The Main Event is easy and fun to watch, it does lack certain elements to attract both and soon becomes very predictable with the usual tropes you’d expect from this kind of fantasy family movie. The story revolves around 11 year old Leo who lives and breathes wrestling....
