Complexity Scale™ rating of 1 / 10.

The answer to this week's meta is a movie title.
(I'll best most of you won't need Google for this).

Crosshare link: https://crosshare.org/crosswords/z1r1Mr4HpCAOmn1tLTal

If you blow through this super quickly and are looking for another little puzzle - there is a Pandora's Blocks "easter egg" in this puzzle.
See if you can find that too!

I'll look for the Easter egg later today. First must attend to real life for a while.

Out of the box. 🦕 But no Easter egg yet!

I believe I found the Easter egg earlier, but waiting for Will to confirm.

Two wrong guesses for the Easter egg! I think I'll just settle for solving the meta!😊

I'm worried I may have "overhyped" the Easter egg. You're just looking for a clue/entry that references a previous puzzle's solution!

So glad the meta went smoothly for everyone! Happy Sunday!

Oh...then I think I have the Easter Egg.
Thanks for the mercy nudge!

Postscript
Found an un-intended Easter Egg.
Will's intended Easter Egg is the better of the two.

LOL, I didn’t read the email and just went to the puzzle so Dino 🦕me, but now I need to look for the Easter Egg. On second thought, since all past puzzles are really a blur, and I have to think hard to remember what I had for dinner yesterday, I may respectfully skip the Easter egg step. Another great puzzle by Will!

On track, I believe. Still learning about the Easter Egg process - maybe I should ask my grandkids.

DINO ME is an anagram of I'M DONE as explained:

Since Will appears to be big on anagrams I suggest DINO ME (anagram for I’m done) It’s short, and ...well Yabba Dabba Doo
