It didn't make me cry but I almost felt like it. Just the way it moved made it seem like a living thing, it was quite uncanny and actually I found it one of the hardest scenes to watch.

I found it very upsetting, the toy was so sweet and seemed like a living thing. Not sure what the point was, to show that kids can be cruel, or that boys have to break away fom their mothers when they get older and not be as sweet as the mothers would like? The mum showed him by unearthing it and returning it to him restored without saying anything else that she thought that was not very nice of him, the knowing look she gave him and her simple action. He looked a bit guilty when she did that.
shareI think we were symbolically shown that by Rebecca unearthing the buried dinosaur she was bringing it 'back to life' as she had done with Tommy.
shareYep. The film is full of symbolism.
Omnia illa et ante fiebant
omnia illa et rursus fient

Yes, it bothered me too...
sharei felt the same!
shareWell "symbolism" or not, I thought it was so sad , even if the little Dinosaur was just a robot.
