I just revisited this movie for the first time since my childhood. It's difficult to analyze this movie because it is the definition of a children's movie. The plot is very simple and the run time is pretty short. That being said there is a lot of emotion here and the characters learn things about themselves and each other and the world on their journey. The art and animation is great but I was always bothered by how the main child characters look very cutsey and cartooney while their parents look like someone seriously drawing a dinosaur. It is hard to criticize decisions like that because children were the target audience but as a 27 year old man I still felt emotional watching it so kudos to the creators. The theme song "if we hold on together" was the perfect song for this movie because it captures that feeling of something horribly depressing happening to somebody but their friends keeping them hopeful.

R. I. P Judith. Barsi "Ducky" nobody deserves what happened to her and she never got to see the movie released.

R. I. P. Will Ryan "Petrey" I think you played my favorite character of the bunch.....until Spike came along R. I. P. James Horner. This music is amazing and it was the icing on top.
