    Watched for Sofia Carson, stayed because it wasn't too soppy, but really? Really? We don't buy it do we?

    Well acted, but simply not how marriage works. They should have just made it all a Sofia Carson music video.

    I can see why I loved this film as a 4 year old: not because I particularly loved dinosaurs but because Aladar is such a hero. He basically invents the concept of looking out for the vulnerable and spends the whole movie looking after 2 old ladies and their dog. We receive no context about why he's like this but he gets the girl so the subtext is clear. I forgot the children's movies can get away with basic plots filled with a stressful amount of peril. I was right, the Mufasa movie's plot is similar to this.

    I feel so to rate it this low but I simply found it too boring. I just found the character relationships didn't give me much to care about and there were no funny moments. I also just don't get why the world needed this second film adaptation of a book written in the 60s of a colonialist rich white boy who the natives worship, when their are so many more recent sci-fi books with diverse and interesting stories that could be told. I guess money and nostalgia always win.
