The ending threw me off.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie even if it is not Pixar’s best.

But I don’t understand what Arlo did to earn putting his mark in the granary. That he survived falling into a river and came back?

The mark was supposed to be about doing something bigger than himself. If it was saving Spot, I am not convinced. It’s clear that Dinosaurs in this Universe don’t care about humans.

Everyone got their mark by contributing to the farm. He did nothing like that. I half expected that he would bring the berries and plant them in the farm, giving the family enough food for the winter.

That would have made more sense.
