Day 204 - The Croods (American)

"Eep is a cave girl whose family is part of the classification homo erectus living in the harsh environment of the stone age with her overprotective father Grug, her kind mother Ugga, her grandmother Gran and her younger siblings Thunk and Sandy. The only family around after their neighbors met unfortunate ends, Eep lives a sheltered life protected by her father until one night she sees a light outside of the cave. Defying Grug's rule about going out after dark she follows it and meets a neanderthal boy, an inventive idealist named Guy and his pet sloth Belt who introduces Eep to fire and explains that he is escaping what he calls "The End" saying that a great cataclysm is coming that could destroy Eep and her family. She refuses to go with him, but he gives her a shell to use as a horn if she needed him. Grug, looking for Eep eventually finds her and grounds her for breaking the rules. On their way back to the cave, a tremendous earthquake causes its destruction, revealing a tropical wilderness behind it. They are forced to escape into it when a predator attacks them, and Grug seeks out to find the family a new cave to live in."

Better than I thought it was going to be! I laughed at a few parts in the movie but sometimes it was boring. I could relate with the general storyline at times but sometimes it was very corny. This film features an all star cast like Emma Stone, Nicholas Cage, Cloris Leachman, Ryan Reynolds which totally helped the film. I enjoyed the characters of the baby, belt, and granny sometimes. To me they were very comedic tools that made the film fit together. I enjoyed everyone's performance but I wish the animation was a little better at some parts. This film still didn't make me a 3d animation fan either. I suggest this film to those that like 3d animation and dreamworks movies


2/5
