The Croods




Cast: Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds,Cloris Leachman
Director: Kirk De Micco, Chris Sanders
Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy, Family
 
Refreshing family watch, entertainment for both kids and adults
 
Pluses:
  • The writers knew what to make, one notch above the regular animated stories. The story retains the mode of adventure from the beginning till the end. One animated movie where i never felt bored even for a moment :)
  • 3D is good, well made in quality
  • The character of cave girl 'Eep' voiced by Emma Stone is the role in focus, guided by a human 'Guy'-Ryan Reynolds, and centrally revolving around the cave family headed by 'Grug'-Nicolas Cage...is a complete package of fun and frolic as they take you through their adventure sortie in finding the 'Tomorrow land' when they learn the Earth they knew is changing
  • Every countenance on the character were very expressive and well made. You will love the various emotions that radiates through 'grug' mostly towards his family, protective while nasty towards the Granny :) And how he changes his intransigent outlook towards 'Guy' over time and accepts him as a part of family
  • The writer did a great job. My personal favorite was the idea of a family picture (imprint), caveman interpretation of modern stuffs, damn cute!
  • I personally liked the character of 'Granny'-Cloris Leachman, such characters are quite common in animated families and is fun to watch :)
  • Direction is beautiful. I love the way things unfold and how they portray a cave man build up intelligence from a simpleton, no brainer bunch of strong self defensive demi humans :) Its a fun ride, not to miss until it runs in the theaters
 
Minuses:
 
Nothing notably wrong
 
 
 
 
My Rating: 4/5
