Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 12:20, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some Dude From North Carolina, Chompy Ace (which always accompanies your GA reviews) has fixed some issues. Can you re-revise them and strike the resolved issues? Meanwhile, I'll resolve issues I can see distinctly. GeraldWL 16:02, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • Non-free use rationale for the poster is in good condition.
  • Do Denise Ream and Mychael Danna need references?
    Removed
  • Cinematographers, however, do need sources.
    Does credits count as reliable?
I found two sources for you (this and this). However, they both say the DoP roles (camera and lighting) are swapped.

  • The current reference being used says the runtime is 97 minutes; other sources disagree.
    Changed
  • #Box_office mentions a source putting the budget at $200 million, so change $175 million to "$175–200 million" and add said source.
  • Add commas after Frances McDormand and "November 10, 2015".
  • The phrase "various American nature" sounds weird. Try rewording.
    Redone.
  • "to the film" → "into the film"

Plot and voice cast

[edit]
  • Plot is under 700 words.
  • VelociraptorVelociraptors (plural)
    Done.
  • Cast section looks good.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]
  • Remove the comma after "film in 2009".
  • Add commas after "producer" and "November 27, 2013".
    Done the former. The latter would make it grammatically incorrect.
  • The reference after "June 2011" is reciting this article, so I would cite that instead even though it's shorter.
    Done! Talk about a subtle discovery.
  • How do we know details were shared on August 20, 2011, when the article is from August 21?
  • No mention of "the 1964 New York World's Fair" or "Audio-Animatronics" in this reference.
    Seems done.

Revisions

[edit]
  • Remove the comma after "next month".
    Done.
  • The first reference in this section doesn't mention Walker leaving due to "story problems".
  • Here, and in other sections, change "..." to "[...]" (more visually pleasing).
  • The sentence starting with "Peterson moved on" should be fully in past tense.
    Is it good now?
  • A reference is needed for the sentence starting with "In September 2013".
    Seemingly done.
  • was "the → was because "the
    Can't see that word.
  • That second paragraph is a big, partly unnecessary quote block, so try trimming it down a bit.
  • The phrase "Arlo was a huge dinosaur" needs to be reworded.
  • dismantled → "dismantled"
  • The third paragraph contains another unnecessary quote block. Trim it.
  • The last part of the sentence starting with "Arlo's three siblings" needs a source.
  • What's up with these various quote blocks?! Trim the one in the final paragraph as well.

Design and setting

[edit]
  • In the caption, replace "stunning" since it's not neutral.
  • Main issue here is the appearance of more quote blocks.

Music

[edit]
  • This section looks good.

Video games

[edit]
  • Can this become a subsection at the end of #Release?
  • Also, can this be turned into prose instead of a list?
    Done all.

Release

[edit]
  • Remove the comma after "accompany the film".

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]
  • Add commas after "November 25, 2015" and the second use of Argentina.
    Done.
  • The reference after "opening weekend" is missing an author.
    done.
  • The second-to-last sentence in the second paragraph needs a source.
    Seems done?
  • "$28.7" → "$29.8" (source being used)
    Done.
  • The numbers on the sentence starting with "The top openings" does not match the numbers from the closest reference.
    Done. GeraldWL 12:19, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Critical response

[edit]

Accolades

[edit]
  • Several award ceremonies are missing sources.
 Done Chompy Ace 02:27, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would suggest adding a references column per consistency with other GA-articles.

  • The Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times
  • The reference after "story first" is from The Guardian, not The Observer.
  • The reference in #Accolades for the Golden Reel Awards should not be in all caps.
    Till here, done.
  • I don't think "stitchkingdom.com"/"Stitch Kingdom", is a reliable source so I would find a replacement.
 Partly done the cast section says the note should be consistent with the sources. Chompy Ace 02:30, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • References should be properly cited and shouldn't include the Wayback Machine template.
    Will resolve these two later.
 Done Chompy Ace 02:30, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Already done Chompy Ace 02:37, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the reference in #Music after "directed by Peterson", remove "| Film Music Reporter" from the title and add the website parameter.
    Done.
