Alien at the Movies

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

This Pixar animated Fantasy/Western/Natural Disaster/Coming of Age/Dinosaur film poses the question: What if that meteor, 65 million years ago, missed the earth & the dinosaurs survived & evolved? Arlo was born as the timid runt of the dinosaur litter to a  corn farming family. When he becomes lost in the wilds, he ends up teaming up with his wolf-boy enemy for survival & to finding his way home. The animation is absolutely amazing and stunning. This charming fun film is about facing your fears & finding your family. One caution for the very young kiddies: beware scenes of peril & the circle of life theme.

The Pixar animated short, "Sanjay's Super Team" which precedes the main attraction, is about a young boy's conflict between idolizing modern superheroes & accepting his dad's beliefs in traditional Hindu deities.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "making your mark" stars out of 4.
