I mean, he got that *SPOILER ALERT* Arlo's dad dies (sad) and Spot becomes his best friend (happy) with whom he has great adventures (funny, but sometimes scary, too) and he must say goodbye to him in the end (sad) - he got all that, it just didn't seem to move him all that much.
Spot runs up to Arlo and climbs on him, but Arlo pushes Spot toward the humans. He draws a circle around them to let Spot know that this is his new family. Spot realizes this, and the two share a tearful goodbye as Spot hugs Arlo's snout. Arlo finally returns to the farm where Momma, Libby, and Buck run up to him.
Shortly after his father's death, Arlo is separated from his family. Hundreds of miles away from his home in the Claw Tooth Mountains, Arlo has to come to terms with his father's death while overcoming his fears of the world. "There's a little too much value placed in fear," Wright said.

The Good Dinosaur - Goodbye Spot and I Will Miss You
How does a good dinosaur end?
With great reluctance, Arlo pushes Spot to join this new adoptive family, and the two of them share a tearful goodbye. Arlo finally arrives home to his mother and siblings, and makes his mark on the silo between those of his mother and father.
As Arlo begins to give up, he has a vision of his father leading him away and back toward home, but Arlo admits his love for Spot and resolves to save him, which makes his father proud before he fades away.
Does Arlo reunite with his family in The Good Dinosaur?
Following his father's directions of following the river and heading towards Clawtooth Mountain, Arlo was able to find his way home and was reunited with his family.
Why did the humans have white hair in The Good Dinosaur?
In addition, the movie attempted to use symbolism to show Spot finding other, more evolved humans in the wild while going to Arlo's home by using white hair on the older male human. Later in the film, they show an entire family of humans, with both the parents and children looking albino with grey hair and red eyes.
Family is valued above all else, even great friendship. Courage is an important theme. Fear is normal and healthy, but it shouldn't get in the way of living your life; you can get through it to see the beauty on the other side. Kindness, loyalty, encouragement, and resourcefulness are all important.
So my daughter liked the movie, even though she thought it was a tad too sad. On the flip side, my son didn't think it was too sad or too scary - he simply said it was a good story and he enjoyed the film very much. I liked it a lot, too (let's face it, anything beats watching Frozen for the gazillionth time!)
Buck & Libby. Buck is Arlo's brother: they're the same age, but Buck is bigger, stronger and a little rambunctious. Arlo's sister Libby is a capable and willful girl who can plow a mean field.
Why did Pixar name the movie The Good Dinosaur? The Good Dinosaur was all about Arlo the main character wanting to be a good son. Wanting to help out the family as best as he could. Through the tough times and the best times.
(In the revised script, Arlo's father dies in a rainstorm, leaving Arlo lost in the wilderness with Spot.) As a result, Arlo would deal “with themes that are a little darker than usual,” Sohn told The Hollywood Reporter. “That only helps depict what a kid goes through when they're maturing.”
Speaking of Arlo's small size upon hatching, him coming from a huge egg may actually be to blame for his runt status. If the egg's shell was as over-thick as it was, over-sized, unborn Arlo may not have received as much fresh oxygen through its barrier as his siblings, slowing his growth.
Poppa Henry's final words to Arlo Run, Arlo! Poppa Henry is the overarching protagonist of The Good Dinosaur. He is Arlo's father. He is voiced by Jeffrey Wright.
Disney/Pixar's The Good Dinosaur began as the simple story of a boy and his dog. In this case, the boy is an 11-year-old apatosaurus called Arlo, and the canine-like friend is Spot, a human boy whose species has not yet attained the ability to speak.
Poppa might still be alive. In the movie, though Poppa gets swept away very early, you don't see a body. The film shows an image of his grave -- and you just assume the worst. However, Raymond Ochoa, the voice of "Good Dinosaur" protagonist, Arlo, tells The Huffington Post things may not be as they seem.
The Pixar Ball, as you can imagine, is yet another one of Pixar's biggest Easter eggs. Like the Pizza Planet truck, it too appears in every single Pixar film, including The Good Dinosaur. It can briefly be spotted in the scene where Arlo and Spot get hilariously intoxicated from eating the fermented fruit.
To encourage Arlo not to give up on his dream of earning his mark, his father takes him out one night to show him how to overcome his fears and have fun with fireflies. In order to give Arlo a sense of purpose, his father puts him in charge of guarding their silo against critters and helps him set up a trap.
