Not sure how I feel about the cartoony dinosaurs mixed with the realistic backgrounds.

I wasn't so sure about the cartoony looking dinosaurs at first but I'm warming up to them a lot more now. I mean it's a Pixar movie so I was gonna see it either way.
According to Pixar themselves, the backgrounds' uncartooniness is intentional. Nature itself is supposed to be one of the film's antagonists, so they wanted to contrast it with the dinosaurs by making it look realistic and hostile.

Just got finished watching it. I wouldn't say I was disappointed, cause I did enjoy it, I just reeeeally wanted to like it more than I did. It was about on par with Brave, not quite up to Pixar standards but definitely not Cars 2 bad. The plot was pretty simplistic and the moral was a bit straightforward. The dinosaur finding his way home story was already done lot better 20 years ago, by The Land Before Time.
The visuals on the other hand were some of the best I've seen in any 3D animated film. There were times when I swore they just filmed a real landscape and added the characters in, which I guess may not be a good thing for some people, but it fit surprisingly well and did make the "nature is the main antagonist" thing work a lot better. I really liked the character designs as well, even if Arlo and Spot were the only two with any real development.
Overall I'd recommend it, just don't expect another Inside Out this year.
Also I think this is the first Pixar movie to have [spoiler]a decapitation and a drug trip sequence.[spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]
