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)

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)

Infobox and lead

• 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

• Plot is under 700 words.
• Velociraptor → Velociraptors (plural)

  Done.

• Cast section looks good.

Production

Development

• 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

• 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

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

Music

• This section looks good.

Video games

• Can this become a subsection at the end of #Release?
• Also, can this be turned into prose instead of a list?

  Done all.

Release

• Remove the comma after "accompany the film".

• A reference is needed for Party Central being shown with Muppets Most Wanted.

  Seems resolved all. GeraldWL 12:20, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Reception

Box office

• 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)

Critical response

• Wikilink Kenneth Turan, Manohla Dargis, Joe Morgenstern, Justin Chang, Christopher Orr (film critic), Mark Feeney, and Mark Kermode.
• The sentence ending with "wrote Justin Chang of Variety" does not sound Wikipedia-ish.

  Two of these have been cleared up. GeraldWL 12:15, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Accolades

• Several award ceremonies are missing sources.

 Done Chompy Ace 02:27, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• I would suggest adding a references column per consistency with other GA-articles.

• 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)

• References should be properly cited and shouldn't include the Wayback Machine template.

  Will resolve these two later.

  Done.
