About
You’ll like this if you want a heartfelt, adventurous animated journey with stunning prehistoric scenery and a friendship-at-the-core vibe; Not for you if you only enjoy Pixar entries with sharp, always-convincing storytelling like Inside Out 2 or if you dislike slower, more predictable quests as in Onward.
Pros: breathtaking wilderness; memorable emotion; fun adventure | Cons: uneven story belief; sometimes slow; polarizing characters
