At last. Twenty-three years after its release, I succeeded in watching this masterpiece. My body's still shivering for the involvement and emotions I experienced during this artwork. Directing, acting, costumes, cinematography, subject and all the rest: everything is absolutely breathtaking. And then there's the music, that incredibly moving theme by Shigeru Umebayashi, one of the most intense and beautiful scores I've heard in my entire life. Mark: 9.5 / 10

Since I've finished watching all Pixar feature films, my personal rankings are mandatory! 1 - WALL-E 2 - TOY STORY 3 3 - FINDING NEMO 4 - UP 5 - INSIDE OUT 6 - A BUG'S LIFE 7 - MONSTERS, INC. 8 - TOY STORY 9 - COCO 10 - RATATOUILLE 11 - TOY STORY 2 12 - SOUL 13 - THE INCREDIBLES 14 - TOY STORY 4 15 - BRAVE 16 - LUCA 17 - INCREDIBLES 2 18 - THE GOOD DINOSAUR 19 - TURNING RED 20 - CARS 21 - LIGHTYEAR 22 - ONWARD 23 - FINDING DORY 24 - MONSTERS UNIVERSITY 25 - CARS 2 26 - ELEMENTAL 27 - CARS 3

I strongly hope that this was the last chapter of this Pixar saga, since it added absolutely nothing to the first two. What leaves me almost speechless is the insistence in reproposing again and again the same themes with slightly different storylines. A disappointment. Period. Mark: 5 / 10

It took me twelve years to finish watching this movie, being part of my quest of seeing every single Pixar feature film. All I can say is that, in my opinion, it's a scarcely acceptable sequel, and the idea of putting Mater at the center of the story raises more than a doubt. Mark: 5.5 / 10

The savage humans move on four legs. The anthropomorphic dinosaurs speak and farm. An unlikely friendship. An incredible journey. An enjoyable and moving story. Mark: 7 / 10

Here and there some critics wrote this could be considered Pixar's worst feature film ever: I guess I could agree. In my opinion, in fact, it lacks interest and empathy, and it's basically a mish-mash of movies and/or cartoon already released. Mark: 5 / 10

The live action remake of the 1989 cartoon is after all agreeable, with a good cast (especially Jonah Hauer-King, playing prince Eric) and an impressive technical support. The new songs, on the contrary, don't add anything to the core of the movie, and are easily forgettable. Mark: 6.5 / 10
