About

If you enjoy light, joke-filled animated sequels with surprising dinosaur encounters, you’ll likely have fun; Not for you if you want a deep, tightly logical story like The Croods or Rio 2.

Pros: lively dinosaur adventure; fun new characters; Scrat moments | Cons: story feels thin; adults may struggle; some characters dull
