The voice acting in this is abhorrent and makes my eyes roll, predictable dribble and lackluster screams that could've had some emotional resonance if someone else wrote it and said it. The themes are fine, the story is fine, but the execution, geez. Didn't expect to dislike the use of animals/dinos but damn did i hate the dinos, nothing but macguffins.
While i like the art direction the actual animation and camera work is pretty bad but as an animator i don't want to complain too much. There are tons of visual inconsistencies, floaty, choppy animation and as much as the camera shakes try to convey impact the action scenes lack any weight especially during contact.
The main issues I have with this involve the way characters speak to each other, how the emotional scenes seemed so ham fisted and quick that i ended up not caring for any character and how frustrating the protagonist is alongside these-
"you gave me an apple, now i am under your command forever"
or
"i am not an animal i am a tool"
creatures of the past.
