The Good Dinosaur (2015)
Most underrated Pixar film
I'm literally the only person I know who likes this movie. Apparently my brother and sister in law still don't trust my taste in film after recommending this film. They hated it. So just a note, this film isn't for everyone.
However, I think if you're like me, you are the target audience. This film really struck a cord with me because I relate so well with Arlo, the dinosaur. I've never have had confidence in myself in really any aspect. It's something I still struggle with daily.
The Good dinosaur features Arlo as the main character who since birth has been the runt of the family and never can seem to do anything right. He has never been able to find something he is good at, or a way to make his mark on the world. That is the struggle for Arlo in this movie, to find a way to make his mark. This describes my struggle almost exactly, so I resonated with the film.
The film contains a very simplistic plot. It's nothing really complex. It's simpler than your typical Pixar movie as far as storytelling is concerned. So some may find it boring for that reason, but if you are like me, this film may resonate with you.
I should also note that this film has some of the best animation I have seen. They made a stylistic choice to make the characters a bit cartoony, but the background photorealistic. To some, the contrast may be off-putting, but the background is truly a sight to behold.
Mr. Krueger's Christmas (1980)
The reason for the season
This is an absolutely amazing short little film that really touches my heart every time I watch it. It reminds us all of the true meaning of Christmas, which is the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a reminder to be kind and serve one another. This reminds us that we should seek to do good to all mankind and treat them with love and respect and help them feel loved. This is the true spirit of Christmas and is the reason for the season. I really think Jimmy Stewart did an amazing job of his portrayal of Mr Krueger. I really loved the scene of him in the manger telling the baby Jesus of his gratitude for all that he did for him. It is such an inspiring and heart warming scene. I would highly recommend this to all people
